Which is your favorite pocketable camera carry?

@malfunkt

Ай бұрын

I put all cameras such as the LX100, D-Lux, X30, X100 into more of a portable class as all of their lenses - even when retracted - stick out too much to fit in a pocket. So my top choice then is the Fujifilm X-E3 or X-E4. The X-E3 has the front mode dial and bit more buttons while the X-E4 sports a tilt-screen. Either can be configured with a small lens and not take up much more bulk/weight than the D-Lux while also providing a bit more to hold on to as well as flexibility and APS-C. Based on what I know of the LX100, D-Lux 8 would be still be a contender.

I was getting really bored with all the other initial negative reviews of this camera, but wow, really nice to see yours here, in particular seeing many of the other reviews of the D-Lux 8 show quite soft images, and yours are tack sharp. My current favourite pocket camera is my Ricoh GRD IV. I just love this camera, even though I will admit and being 12 years old, with a CCD sensor the poor thing is getting very 'lo-fi' by today's APS-C standards, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, as the DNG files it creates are really excellent. I briefly owned a Ricoh GR II which was an amazing camera and that would've been a keeper if it hadn't have developed the dreaded stuck shutter and lens problem. Ricoh's quality control post their CCD models isn't great. I also owned the Ricoh GR III, but I really didn't like it much. I'm an old Leica M6 owner and I really wanted another Leica but without spending megabucks (I'd have to remortgage my house and probably sell my children to slavery in order to purchase an M11!). I've also tried the Olympus E-P7, which is also a fantastic 20mp m43 camera, around the same size of the D-Lux 8 and with interchangeable lenses (so will fit the amazing Leica 15mm f1.7, a lens I already have, use and love) but it doesn't have a viewfinder, and of course isn't a Leica!

I found that the optical image stabilization on while walking produces bad results. And i stated that in a call out in the video. Turning off the OIS and cranking the shutter speed is the best way to get sharp images. But again I think this will be solved in the new firmware. or I hope. Reviewing a camera with a prototype firmare is a tricky review that's why I am saving my final conclusions when I can test the real deal. As you've seen I did not recommend the camera and advise everyone checks it out for themselves. I can recommend other cameras with confidence but not this one yet.

Video quality on this video is 🔥

Nothing wrong with the Panasonic. But if you can wait something tells me that you are ok with what you have now.

It’s certainly an expensive camera. I don’t understand all the hate against it having a previous gen sensor. If the sensor was good then, why can’t it be good enough now? It doesn’t really matter if other sensors are now “better” in terms of dynamic range or detail resolution. Some of my favourite pictures were taken with a D-Lux 2 which is far inferior to this camera. To me, it’s the haptics that matter. If these are good, then it’s a valid option to consider for a travel/everyday camera.
