hey thanks tomcat. yeah i wont view them all the time at 100% original size. BUT, i do shoot stuff for work, like product shots to be put on internet etc. Of course in a flash website it's fine, but if I do need to send them to a magazine, then the 100% original size will show up all the grain, noise etc.
the DP2 is terribly impressive. i seen the review on that rytterfolk site (or something) and its so so so nice its like an SLR. however, as you said, need to do post processing and shoot in raw etc....i dun want that cos if im gonna take 1000 pics on holiday i wont have time to tweak all of them ah...
hmm,....so torn. if i bought the DP2 in tokyo it would be cheaper than the dlux 4 man. i wonder if i could buy both and then sell one off! im mad! recession time, shouldn be spending so much money ah....
the panasonic G1 and canon G10 seems a bit more bulky to me, haven heard of that fuji one will go check out, and i dun fancy the lumix lx3 cos the tonal quality a bit inferior to the dlux4...
