I am in Japan now, and I want to buy a camera in Japan recently. I wonder if there are any good models to recommend?

1. Panasonic lx3

The camera style is retro, made in Japan, with many manual functions, wide angle and good color.

CCD sensor (personally, CCD is better than COMS)

F2.0 large aperture (as far as I know, the largest among consumer-grade DC), Leica DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens with a focal length of 24-60MM (made by Leica in the camera, SUMMICRON is the symbol of Leica's top lens), lx3 lens is the highest image quality that can be achieved by the card machine and even the whole consumer-grade DC at present, and it can achieve ultra-macro shooting of 1CM.

In terms of frames, three frames (4:3/3:2 and 16:9) have their own characteristics (there is only one camera, mostly 4:3), and two personal shooting modes, C 1/C2, are added to the camera mode dial for the first time, which also reflects LX3' s efforts in fuselage specialization.

Tell me about my experience. I use lx2, which is an upgraded version of lx2. Lx2 personally feel that it is better to take pictures of scenery and objects than portraits, and the pictures that the battery has been taking can be taken for one day.

This is about the evaluation of the card machine, so it can be seen that lx3 is a total victory.

2. Canon G 1 1

Canon PowerShot G series, as a classic portable professional model series, has almost always been synonymous with "SLR standby machine" or "portable professional model".

Rotatable LCD screen, G 1 1 adopts11.7 inch CCD sensor size, which reduces the number of pixels, makes the light receiving area of a single pixel large, improves the available sensitivity, and enhances the natural noise reduction ability, which is also beneficial to the image quality. With the DIGIC 4 image processing engine, its "double noise reduction" is realized.

In terms of function, PowerShot G 1 1 mainly improves the function of intelligent automatic mode, strengthens the tracking and shooting performance of moving portraits, and adds fast shooting mode and low light shooting mode.

Tell me about my experience. Personally, after using the first generation G9 (classmate's) of Canon PowerShot G series, the portrait of Canon is still good, and the color is not as good as lx2 (it is estimated that G 1 1 is not as good as LX3), but the biggest drawback is the battery problem, that is, there is no electricity display when it is almost used up, which leads to frequent lack of electricity to go out, and other aspects are good.

3.canon S90

Canon S90 is similar to lx3 in style, with low pixel sensor per inch, bright aperture of F2.0, retro style and market positioning.

Canon S90 is equipped with11.7 inch * * 1000 effective pixel CCD sensor, which brings ultra-low pixels per inch and powerful noise control capability.

Canon S90' s F2.0 large aperture is undoubtedly a very attractive thing. Although the wide-angle focal length is not as shocking as Panasonic LX3GK 24mm, the focal length of telephoto end 105mm is obviously much more practical than that of the latter in its early 60s.

The resolution of Canon S90 is slightly lower than our expectation, especially at the 28mm wide-angle end of the camera. The level of 2000LW/PH is basically at the same level as other100000 pixel cameras, which does not reflect the superiority of high-end cameras. Compared with Panasonic LX3, under the same F2.0 conditions, Canon S90 is inferior to Panasonic LX3 in lens sharpness.

The nearest focus distance is only 5cm, while lx3 can reach 1cm.

As for the battery, it is estimated that, like the above G 1 1, Canon does not display the power.

4. Sigma DP 1

DP 1 is equipped with APS-C Foveon X3 sensor. This makes it have the main potential to become a professional small camera. Compared with GRD series digital cameras with the most SLR standby potential, the biggest advantage of DP- 1 is that its APS-C format imaging sensor is much larger than its11.7 inch CCD.

In fact, except for the imaging sensor in APS-C format, Sigma DP- 1 is not much different from most DCs: for example, they all use contrast detection AF system and use LCD for framing (there is no reliable optical framing method).

This is my favorite one. Personally, I think Sima has never been worse than a camera, and each one is a classic. I really wanted to buy it at that time, but I had no money. It cost more than 7000 yuan. Now it seems that only 3000 yuan is not bad.

5. Ricoh GRD GRD III

I may think that Ricoh brand is not selling well. It is a second-tier brand in China, but not in Japan. It is very good.

The large aperture of F 1.9 can not only obtain images with shallow depth of field, but also allow photographers to capture wonderful scenes with a faster shutter. At the same time, shooting can be completed at a low sensitivity, reducing the appearance of noise and ghosts and improving the image quality.

The lens of GRD III is composed of multilayer coated lenses specially developed by Ricoh, including two aspheric lenses and three ultra-low dispersion lenses, to reduce distortion and chromatic aberration and improve image contrast and clarity.

1cm macro function. GRD III is known as the sharp weapon of snapshot, and it has specially set the focal length positioning function for snapshot. Users can select 1 m, 2.5 m or infinity as the focus distance in advance, and then just press the shutter. This function can greatly improve the success rate of snapshots.

These are my favorite cameras. Personally, I prefer Panasonic LX3. As for Sony's, I think it's just beautiful, not very practical and not cost-effective. I hope I can help you. I wish you a camera that suits you. . .
