Digital camera Review: Thank you for your good service
Summary: 5 Stars
Great quality service by Amazon and excellent buyer because I received the Leica digital camera like he offered in his advertising.Digital camera Review: The camera of my dreams!
Summary: 5 Stars
So much great stuff already said-- There are too many features crammed in this camera to list!!! Professional quality with the portrait setting, wide angle shots are National Geographic level in color and detail. Camera came with Adobe photoshop software. Beach and snow setting bring great color to bright light shots, in California this is a must. Portrait setting makes everyone a little more attractive :) Movies straight into Quicktime, sound quality is as good as the picture. It is SMALL! will fit in your pocket. I simply cannot believe how great my pictures came out. If you are a photographer for the art as well as the memories you should consider this camera, it is nearly impossible to take a bad photo. Well worth the money --the lens makes all the difference. (see photos above)Digital camera Review: This is THE POINT & SHOOT to OWN!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this baby in London back in November and it cost me 499 Quid (Pounds) and it really is worth it. Shot in 16:9 or in 35 mm size, or even LCD or PC Monitor size, this is really a joy to shoot images with. The interface is intuitive, as this is my first Leica, and I never owned a Panasonic Lumix either, so on the get go, I was able to use it right away.
The pics, at any mp size you choose is very SHARP. The optics of the Vario Elmarit lens is really the "star" of this equipment. It is a "hi-end/ STYLISH" backup camera for I have 2 DSLRS Canon's 30D & 400D, and sometimes these things are heavy. If I wanna travel light, I use this. But now, I treasure it so much that I don't want to bang it up, so I bought a cheaper backup to this backup. I got the Powershot G7, and even though they are both 10 megapixels, lens wise, the D-LUX 3 is in a class of it's own. No match.
The ooooooohs and ahhhhhhhhhs when people see my toy is priceless, plus the bag, brown, vintage, old skool, and Leica, is an added bonus attraction. I know some people who actually wanna buy the cam because of the bag.
The screen of this baby is so wide that you get everything in the picture. At 16:9, you get the whole planet in one frame. That's how wide it is.
Thin, matte black, old-skool look, compact, and the stunning visual capture, these are all the plus points. The video at 16:9 setting is 30 fps, dvd quality and super sharp, and performs well in low light.
The only flaw I see, is the absence of an optical viewfinder. But Leica, is Leica. Lumix ain't Leica.
The D-Lux 3 is it. Go get one and fall in love again.
Digital camera Review: Use if for yourself!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in the market for a small compact comera with good images being top priority.
I did so much research I was almost over buying another camera for my collection. I read every single review on here(on the Leica D lux 3), in hopes that I may find some common ground on user reviews. Looks like that wasn't going to happen. I'm not a pro photographer, I just like taking good quality pictures that don't look like a cheap disposable camera. I already have a DSLR Canon, so i just needed a small P+S that i could carry around and have my girlfriend use when i'm on the DSLR.
Well, after weeks of consideration, I successfully found a near new D Lux 3 on eBay for $450. It had all wires, software, original box, and even a Lowepro case included. I figured it was too good a deal to pass up so I went ahead and jumped on it. In the few days I was waiting for the camrea to arrive, I grew extremely nervous with the amount of negativity there was towards this camera. Then, the day came.
After the first few days of using the camera, it is very safe to say that it really depends on the user of this camera to really give it a good review. I wasn't expecting Ansel Adams quality pictures from a P+S in the first place, so my expectations weren't high. But, good gracious this camera really does take amazing pictures. Even at night, i have a flexy pocket tripod at it works wonders. I never have to go about 400 iso, so noise has not been an issue for me. Maybe thats the novice level of photography knowledge I have? who knows.
What I do know, is that for a quality picture, this camera blew my mind. It takes as good (at low iso) if not crispier pictures than my DSLR. Again, that may be from my own lack of knowledge since i've taught myself how to shoot and how basic to moderate camera functions. Now, had i paid full price, then YES i would agree with all the naysaying. It is an overpriced camera brand new. BUT the beauty of eBay! at $450, there is no P+S camera that would be able to match the quality images this camera produces. I LOVE IT!
