analog Posted June 22, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 22, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good evening! I just wanted to quickly pop in here and say hey. I just went from owning your standard run of the mill point and shoot cameras like Sony and Fuji and have purchased a D-Lux 4 and all I can say is I've gone from taking pics only once in awhile to taking pictures daily so I guess you can say I've found myself a new hobby. My friends and colleagues have all questioned the images I've taken by asking me what kind of DSLR I'm using and when I show them my D-Lux 4, they all can't believe such a little thing can create such excellent images. Anyways I can't wait to see how my photography improves... I'm still curious as to if and or when I might get the itch to upgrade to an M8. Until then I will continue to read up on forums such as this one and try to improve hopefully through your careful eyes. Cheers, Fredrick PS I just posted in the Landscape and Travel section and look forward to your critiques and comments http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/landscape-travel/90008-german-trip-pics-lookin-critiques.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

griffster Posted June 22, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 22, 2009 Welcome Fred! Your story is similar to mine. I went from a 2 MP Sony Cybershot to this thing called "Leica". I blame my in-laws. On my last visit to Japan they said "why don't you buy a nice camera here?" Unfortunately the LX3 didn't have English menus, so my wife said I should get the Canon G10. I'm glad I don't listen to my wife all of the time! I decided I should go all the way and go for the red dot. I'm expecting this thing to last a lifetime!

analog Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted June 22, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks all! I'm really enjoying this camera a lot. I had brought my video camera with me too when I went to Germany and ironically I barely used it! I couldn't tear myself away from the Leica. Until I get more familiar with Photography in general, I think i'll hold off on the M8 only because I feel that it's too much camera for me right now. Heck I'm still learning about the simple things like F-stop and bracketing! Maybe in a few years when I'm worthy, will I buy a big brother for my D-lux 4. Ich muss auch Deutsch übung. Ich war 3 jahre in Deutschland gearbeitet. Berlin ist wie Heimat und ich Vermiss meine Deutsche leben sehr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
