Advertisement Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Ferry Man, Take a look here D3 UK arrival? . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ferry Man Posted November 13, 2006 Share #22 Posted November 13, 2006 I may not be too 'techno'd up' but here's some photos. Went from the coast the the new Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands. Pretty impressive place. All shot with a Digilux 3 (Digilux 2 already gathering dust. 'Be on eBay soon). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrique Santa Posted November 13, 2006 Share #25 Posted November 13, 2006 Paul thank you for your post, the pic looks very clear, have you process them, or are just the jpg´s from the cam?. Unfortunatly, here in Spain the cam doesn´t arrive so I will enjoy with your pics and test, while I wait. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest david_e Posted November 13, 2006 Share #26 Posted November 13, 2006 This is my first post, so hello to the forum. I took delivery of my Digilux 3 on Saturday morning and shot a wedding the next day, partnering it with my D2. I would echo generally the sentiments expressed above: this wedding ceremony took place in 4 o'clock gloom and I was bailed out by OIS for several important reportage opportunities, without having to resort to flash. Really impressive, empowering feature. And the image quality at 400 ISO is in a different league to the D2. I haven't been through the day's results yet with any real scrutiny, so I can't comment on the sharpness up close. However it's an SLR, loud and proud. I fell back on the D2 for coverage of the ceremony itself, simply because the D3 was noisy (AF and shutter) and, I felt, too intrusive. The D2, of course, is near-silent - so discreet that I usually give the thumbs-up after a group shot to indicate that the picture has been taken! First impressions after yesterday: I feel that I now have a versatile partnership rather than an obsolete camera. They're different animals, really, and I imagine that the Digilux name was retained more for marketing/product recognition purposes than anything else. Cheers David.

Ferry Man Posted November 13, 2006 Share #27 Posted November 13, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) the D3 was noisy (AF and shutter) Good point David. Quite a shock first time out. Not used to all that clonking about with a Digilux 2. I do love the Digilux 3 though. Certainly faster writing images and viewing images. Real quick scrolling around playback too. I find myself only using the viewfinder and turning off the rear display. With the Digilux 2 I'd compose some shots using the screen but on the 3 it seems poor on 'live view'. Consider it an SLR and you'll be fine. Anyway, I take a perverse pleasure in putting a camera to my eye. People wonder what on earth you're doing. It seems the whole world holds cameras at arms stretch in front of them these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
