Hi,
I am Richie. A novice photo enthusiast. And I got the LX5 as a pre-birthday gift from my loving wife.
And this is my take on the Little Wonder light gatherer.
1. Superb pocket cam ( non dslr ).
-Iam used to the Canon mk2 and i must say the LX5 takes some wonderful pictures when you get to know it better.
2. Takes good bokeh for a point and shoot.
- Again not as creamy as my mk2 lens but wow!, it can take drama shots!
3. Clarity is not that great and can use more progress ( 10mp ). But hey, its a tiny cam that you can barely hold. But it holds ground on macro shots.
4. Where it really shines is on macro. It is the best value Macro non pro point and shoot cam that i have ever encountered. Bokeh, bokeh, bokeh!
5. Lots of gadget attachments and accessories for amateur photographers in search to learn photography.
No more talking. Here's the photo's taken from this little wonder ( no pp, zero editing & cropping. All jpeg straight from the pns and all settings at Av ONLY):
Macro Insect ( the insect is as tiny as a small ant )
Building shot at sun down
1/4 Water Filled Glass ( Mixed Poor Lighting Only )
Little Dog Profile (Believe it or not: Totally Pitch black, zero light but used a secret weapon attachment )
Kids Shoes
Again, I am a fan of this pns! Hell, I was surprised on what it can do.
