leffe Posted January 8, 2009 Share #1 Â Posted January 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The M8 is my favourite camera because of its absence of automatic programs et cetera. What other, cheaper digital camera, which is as well reduced to a minimum of automatic gadgets and size would you recommend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Hi leffe, Take a look here M8 alternative for my girlfriend. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
epand56 Posted January 8, 2009 Share #2 Â Posted January 8, 2009 Does it exist one? I think you'll end up on a G10 or a DLux4 or a Ricoh GR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted January 8, 2009 Share #3 Â Posted January 8, 2009 My girlfriend uses the D-lux frequently, but she prefers the Panasonic G1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andit Posted January 8, 2009 Share #4 Â Posted January 8, 2009 Why not get a refurbished Epson RD-1. Then you can share lenses. It has a much lower cost than the M8, and many members here enjoy using it. Plus it is just as mechanical as the M8 - actually more so - it has a manual frame advance lever, something I wish the M8 had. Â Andreas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 8, 2009 Share #5 Â Posted January 8, 2009 My wife loves to use a Digilux2. But the d-Lux4 gets used as well, I notice.With viewfinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocy0924 Posted January 9, 2009 Share #6 Â Posted January 9, 2009 My wife used to use Canon XSi which she never carried. Santa got her Pani LX3 (D-Lux 4 equivalant) and she loves it.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotomiguel Posted January 9, 2009 Share #7 Â Posted January 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Pana Lx3. I bought one for my wife. The question is how interested in photography is she? The instruccions and manuals have to be read. After two months, my wife didn't even open the instruccions's book. She shoot in a kind of intelligent auto mode , so the results are normally poor. The camara is quite good for the price. Lens 24-60 f2-2.8, raw and easy manual controls. Good results after practicing a little. The problem are: no viewfinder and no aperture ring in the lens. So, I hate to work this way. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
