I got a problem. Not sure if GF1 with 20mm pancake can fulfill my needs.
(dunno if a Lx3, G11, S90, F200Exr will actually be able to solve my problems)
My needs:
1) Shoot in low light without flash at faster shuttle speed to get clear and better exposed pic.
(Most of the time, indoor do not have enough light and I do not like the flash as the colour of the subject will look funny. My 10mth old son cant keep still and my current Fx520 cant get the job done. faster shuttle speed becomes under-exposed pic while higher iso above 400 have too much noise)
2) size needs to be as small as possible. (i will definitely not bring a DSLR out often. and at times, it will be a bit inapporiate.my wife wont like the size too)
3) able to get brighter faces when there is a strong backlight. ( i have got quite a number of shots where our faces is too dark and my son is looking straight and smiling)
I know i cant have everything. but will a GF1 be able to meet my needs generally? I know that for point3, some of the entry level DSLR wont do a good job too.
Do not want to buy something and end up not solving my problems.
Hope I can get some answers or comments.
Everytime i see those shots where my son is smiling, but the pic didnt turn out well, my heart will sink a bit. coz i know i wont be able to go back in time
Thanks in advance.
