Digilux 3 in low light

I still haven't had the chance to see any comprehensive review of the Digilux 3/L1. I would be interested in your feedback on the high Iso performance and low light auto-focus capabilities.

 

Thank you, Giulio

 

I'm testing one right now for a review. Haven't yet done anything with high ISO yet. Based upon what I've seen so far...The D3 will focus in low light and the AF assist beam seems to help it quite a bit. The AF response slows down as light levels drop but I've yet to see the lens hunt. So in a bar at night, for example, the kit lens will not focus nearly as quickly as, say, a Canon 50/1.4 on a 5D but it will focus even in quite dim areas. In brighter light, AF is quite speedy.

 

Cheers,

 

Sean

there's a guy over at steves forum with a pretty good look at the similar E-330 at high iso

probably worth a look see

results look very encouraging

 

Amateur Photography magazine carried a comparative review of the L1, Digilux 3 and E330 a few weeks ago. The E330 had noticeably lower noise at 1600 than the other two. AP also liked the more "film like" look of the E330 files.
