(sharp, saturation, etc) (I live in indonesia where this kind of forum is difficult to find) Thx... Welcome to you and your brand new V-Lux 2! Your question is not easy to answer; actually the best would be that you discover the possibilities of your camera by yourself. Shooting in raw will allow you to do of your photos what you want them to do. What else could I say? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntur Posted April 27, 2011 Share #26 Posted April 27, 2011 I tried to use the customized wb using my d-lux 4 customized setting, but my v-lux 2 shows different result (little bit too grainy), they have the same tech, don't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prunelle Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share #27 Posted April 27, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) ... they have the same tech, don't they? No they haven't. The sensor of the D-Lux 4 is larger than the one of the V-Lux 2. Furthermore, it's a ccd not a cmos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntur Posted April 28, 2011 Share #28 Posted April 28, 2011 OIC, do u think ccd is better than cmos or otherwise ? Sorry to bother u,... Thx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prunelle Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share #29 Posted April 28, 2011 OIC, do u think ccd is better than cmos or otherwise ? Sorry to bother u,... Thx You're not bothering me. If I remember well ccd sensors have the reputation of allowing less grainy photos; in return they are more power demanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heinerpattaya Posted May 11, 2011 Share #30 Posted May 11, 2011 Hello, my first post in this group. I don't have a real Leica yet, but a Lumix FZ 28 with a Leica lens. I was looking for a FZ 100, "similar" to the V Lux 2, and shot some photos in a shopping mall yesterday. Better handling, faster zooms compared to my FZ 28, it was like going from a Ford to a Benz. I nearly bought it on the spot, bur comming home I puit the chip into my TV - the results were a disaster - noise, noise, noise. As I did not know the camera well enough I shot in "iA" mode. Normally nothing gets wrong in there, but you might not reach the stars in this mode. The performance was uacceptable. As my FZ 28 is small, light and shoots veryt nice BW (but not only) photos I gonna keep it. I was offered a Lumix L 1 with Leica 14-50 mm f 2.8 lense NOS for 945 Euros. Similar to Digilux 3. should I go for it until I can affored a M 9 BEst regrds Heiner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted May 11, 2011 Share #31 Posted May 11, 2011 Heiner - The M9 is a terrific camera, but it might not be right for you. All of the Lumix cameras you cite handle like SLRs which is quite different from a rangefinder camera. You might find that you do not like rangefinder cameras, or based on your stated experience, you might not like having to change lenses to change focal length instead of zooming. You might find that you have a goal (M9) that might not be right for you. You might want to try a rangefinder camera to see if you like them. If you do, save for yourM9. If not, stay with your Lumix, or change to another camera with a zoom lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted May 11, 2011 Share #32 Posted May 11, 2011 Heiner, welcome. I'd have to say that I don't think iA mode, in an (indoor?) shopping mall, displayed upon a non-colour corrected TV is the best way to form a judgement on any camera.

Gin314 Posted May 20, 2011 Share #33 Posted May 20, 2011 I normally shoot with M9 but picked up a VLux 2 as an extra. Anyone have tips? I seem to be getting a lot of grain; is the best mode aperture? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
