DLUX 4 High Noise

I own a DIGILUX 2 a DIGILUX 3 and a DLUX 4

 

I bought the DLUX4 mainly for its copactness, design and lens quality. I am very satisfied with the overall performance but I am not happy with the amount of noise it creates in RAW recording.

 

I have taken photos in the same conditions and with the same ISO value with all three cameras and the DLUX 4 always came last in terms of noise level in almost every ISO setting.

 

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue or this issue is only specific to my camera instance?

Hello Gaboz,

welcome to the Forum!

 

I can only compare my Digilux 2 with my D-Lux 2 (that model has- i know- a higher noise then D-Lux 4). But I think that the problem results from the sensor size. Digilux 3 has Fourthirds Sensor (cropfactor 2, compared to the so-called "full-.format", and the Digilux 2 has a much smaller sensor; and finally the sensor of the D-Lux seires is smaller then the others mentioned. So of course the noise may higher when you compare.

Also it may important that the digilux 2 has 5 Mpix, and the D-Lux 4 has 10(right?) Megapixel on a smaller sized sensor.

Would be nice to see some fotos here to see the problem. Is very interesting!

Dlux4 is like any P&S.... very small sensor with dense photo sites. You won't get good high ISO performance like you do with the larger sensor equipped cameras. What the Dlux4 does give you is a very fast lens...

 

And what is interesting me: does the D-Lux 4 camera gives a more lower noise then other compact cameras with same sensor size at same ISO? Sure it is a little bit unfair to compare D-Lux 4 with APS-C Cams.;)
