Advertisement Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Hi Overgaard, Take a look here D-Lux4 vs DigiLux2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
John Thawley Posted February 12, 2009 Share #22 Posted February 12, 2009 Sorry, can't help it. I'm not stopping before every photographer in the world has his or her ration of two Digilux 2 cameras Maybe.... just maybe, someone might notice the secondary market is gobbling these cameras up like hotcakes are finally realize the Digilux 2 was ahead of its time. Then, maybe then, they'll make one with higher resolution, less noise, larger buffer and better viewfinder..... AND be smart enough to leave EVERYTHING else alone.... though leather would be nice. LOL JT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tungolcild Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share #23 Posted February 12, 2009 .....or maybe V-Lux 1?? Oh, my Lord! I'm more confused now....and everybody has his own opinion! Though I understand that V-Lux show more noise than both D-Lux4 and Digilux 2.... Any users opinion? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overgaard Posted February 13, 2009 Share #25 Posted February 13, 2009 I've known people who had V-Lux 1 and it's actually a great camera, not many manual options, more like the D-Lux 4 in terms of interfaces. And then the lens goes to 400mm! But also, I've noticed those who get an V-Lux 1 tend to move on rather quickly to Digilux 3 or other larger cameras.

Bostontom Posted February 14, 2009 Share #27 Posted February 14, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) FWIW: I bought a D2 from popflash about eight months ago w. warranty and new sensor. I would not part with it. I like compact cameras, and keep a slightly aged Canon digital elf in a corner of my briefcase, just so that if I get in a car wreck I can take the necessary pictures. But there is no comparison between any pocket camera and the ease and comfort of use of the D2. Now, I'm a pure amateur, so I'm not trying to do wedding photography or make a living (or even a sideline) with my cameras, so I can't speak to that. When I grab a camera for a days shooting, I usually grab the D2; when I'm travelling, can only carry limited kit, and want more flexibilty, I take my Nikon D80 and its 18-200 (27-300 eq.) lens with me. It works, it's fast, it's higher res.; it can make better pictures than the guy driving it -- but it is less fun and I like the tonal quality and feel fo the D2 better. Last: If you need to capture images quickly (weddings, e.g.) you'll be shooting jpgs on the D2, as the 6 second capture time for Raw will make you mental. I think D2 jpgs are gorgeous, so no worries for me, but you should be aware of that limitation. If it were me, though, I'd grab the D2 in a heartbeat, and may yet follow Thorsten's advice and get a second one. (though I'll probably spend that pocket of money on an R lens and an adaptor to see what Leica optics do to my Nikon. Using an old, all manual Nikon prime on that baby does good things (the 85mm f2) so I am wondering what an R Elmar 50 0r 90 would look like. Hmmm.

ndjambrose Posted February 22, 2009 Share #28 Posted February 22, 2009 For personal work you should just go with whichever one you like the most. It's all about your comfort with the camera. You have to balance the improved portability of D-Lux4 vs. the better ergonomics of the Digilux, and larger images against smaller ones. Not sure what you mean by wedding photography - do you want to take photos as a guest at weddings, or do you want to work as a wedding photographer? For the former either camera will be fine; essentially it's the same as personal work. But if the latter then (at risk of pointing out the obvious) neither camera is remotely suitable.
