rob_x2004 Posted April 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 13, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyone got any comments, insights? Im not worried about the cameras or in themselves nor the way they handle. G1 with its own lenses, not with adaptors. Rgds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Hi rob_x2004, Take a look here Image files comparison G1 to Lx3/DLux4. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Mauribix Posted April 14, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 14, 2009 I'd be curious too... BTW I remember stunning performances by the G1, even if I like the D-lux/LX much more in many ways. ciao Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugat Posted April 14, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 14, 2009 At native ISO LX3 almost holds up with G1, anything higher G1 just runs away. But is itself behind M8 and RD1. Did you really expect anything else? Each of the above cameras is different and not really replacable by the other. In my ranking (I use all): M8 best overall IQ up to 640 ISO RD1 best IQ high ISO and B&W LX3 good IQ for the size--portability, poor at higher ISO G1 jack of all trades, especially for zooms and longer f-lengths For G1 I discovered recently a curious application. It produces a good, flexible picture for B&W conversion and post in NIK SilverFX LX3 on the other hand gives an interesting B&W look out of the camera at the BW setting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCHA Posted April 15, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 15, 2009 Interesting... Where would you place the Digilux 2 & 3 in this comparison? And what would the print quality at 13X19 be like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugat Posted April 15, 2009 Share #5 Posted April 15, 2009 I have no experience of digilux, I heard it's really good. I printed 13x19 from Leica D-lux3 (Panasonic LX2) and it turned out surprisingly good. The rule is as low ISO as possible and RAW capture. Good light is also essential (natural or artificial). I didn't use any uprezzing software. Although I have Genuine Fractals I don't really find it necessary for good quality shot from 10MP going up to 13x19. A commercial photographer here used a D-lux3 for a billboard campaign with success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugat Posted April 15, 2009 Share #6 Posted April 15, 2009 About G1--I really enjoy using it as an ancient plate camera...(below in NIK SilverFX). I have to admit I have a problem with the unprocessed G1 files. They are hyperreal to me, "digital", "videoish". M8 and Rd1 have a much more "filmic" look, whatever that means . My postprocessing of their files is minimal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
