I have Leicas V-lux 1 and D-Lux 4 and one Reflex Olympus E-300 with aim 14-45 (28-90mm.).

I believe that with the Leicas, I obtain better photos that with the Reflex olympus.

The friends, say to me that it is not possible and that the motive is for that I do not use well the Reflex.

I come to your experience in order that me saqueis of doubt.

 

Thank you very much

Hi Dopaco:

 

It depends what you mean by better photos - technically, or artistically?

 

I have the D-lux 4, and an Olympus DSLR. The Olympus has, of course, a larger sensor than the D-lux 4, but I believe there has been some criticism of the Olympus bundled kit lenses. But the main difference I find is that the auto white balance of the D-lux 4 is better than that of the Olympus. I also find that I generally get far more relaxed portraits with the D-lux 4 because no-one takes such a small camera seriously!

 

Ultimately, I suspect you'll always take better photos with the camera you like best.

 

Other forum members may have a much better technical appraisal than mine, of course...

 

cheers:

Sam

Hi Dopaco,

 

Sorry I missed this post the first time around. A couple of comments from me.

 

1. The E-300 is hardly state of the art. It has been superceded at least twice.

2. I agree with Sam about the Olympus (indeed almost any) kit lenses. I use the pro-spec Olympus lenses on an E-520 and really have nothing to complain about.

3. The D-Lux 4 is at the top end of it's class, the E-300 near the bottom. The D-Lux 4 does what it does very well, the E-300 by comparison is alright.

4. Again, I agree with Sam - having confidence in your kit, and using it to the best of your ability will take you further than using it to the best of its ability.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Regards,

 

Bill

Thank you friends, for your opinón.

 

I am with you, the important thing is to trust in the equipment and the results will come alone.

Very well the example of the grandfather carpenter.
