How about Panasonic lx3? Is there a big difference in effect compared with SLR? What is a SLR standby machine? Can't achieve the effect of SLR?

I've used LX3 myself, so I'll answer it with my personal feelings:

SLR standby machine refers to: due to various reasons (such as inconvenient to take out large SLR cameras from the bag, do not want to waste the number of mechanical shutters in the recording process, etc. ), in addition to the SLR camera, the photographer will ideally bring a portable digital camera with film quality that he can "tolerate". Because people who play SLR are deeply poisoned by SLR and their eyes are very picky, this kind of SLR standby machine is generally first-class in portable cameras and can watch movies.

As far as portable cameras are concerned, the LX3 is undoubtedly top-notch. The color is brighter than the actual one, which is very pleasing to the eye. The definition is higher than other mid-range laptops. F2.0' s aperture and wide angle are invincible, and its shortcomings are obvious. The telephoto end is not enough. Basically, wide-angle landscape photos and portrait photos can handle it. LX3 is much better than my original Canon A6 10 (which is also fully manual), and it is a G 1 1 horizontal machine just released by Canon. To tell the truth, LX3 is not better than the entry-level SLR, even the discontinued entry-level SLR is lower than its price, and the photo quality is higher than LX3 (relative to the user's familiarity with the camera)! Judging from the layering and clarity of the photos, LX3 is more contrast than the entry-level one. I estimate that even if you use GF 1, you can only approach the entry-level SLR infinitely, and you have to spend more money.

If you pursue photo quality endlessly, go directly to the SLR, lest LX3 let you down; If you don't care much about the quality of photos, take photos as records or souvenirs, LX3 is almost enough. After all, its portability is unmatched by SLR. For those who are used to using other low-end laptops, the LX3' s photo quality close to SLR should be very satisfactory. Quantify the image. If the effect of the entry-level SLR is 10, LX3 can score 7-8 points, and 1/2.33 inch CCD card camera can only score 3 points (personal opinion, not necessarily accurate).
