Customer 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!
