Aurora hdr 2018 grain8/21/2023 When you do settle and squeeze the shutter button to lock focus, the focus confirm light is displayed, along with aperture and shutter speed. You can adjust exposure compensation direct from the main cross pads, and as always pleases me, one of the display modes you can cycle through hides all icons so you can focus purely on composition. In the simple menus I set the ISO to 100 (after some experimentation to find the look I liked best) and “Colour Effect” to b/w. Here, I’ve found no need so far to stray from the macro mode, which allows shots down to 0.05m, but still up to infinity. The shutter button is exactly where your trigger finger expects it to be, and the mode dial can easily be changed with the tip of your thumb. This is helped too by the 2″ screen being big enough to compose and focus, yet small enough to not dominate the entire camera back, and also gives adequate space for the simple controls within thumb’s reach. The curved grips front and rear are very well contoured, and there’s plenty of room for your thumb to rest without feeling like you’ll drop the camera, or inadvertently press buttons. In use the camera is compact, yet satisfying in the hand, and can easily be used one handed. That’s all I really want to say about the spec. This is the LZ1 is from 2005, with a 4MP 1/2.5″ CCD sensor. My perception of them is a classy, quality range of cameras, with very capable lenses (due in part to their Leica connection). The Panasonic Lumix range are cameras I’ve admired from afar, not least of all the LX3, which I’ll talk about in a future post. The third in this series then is a different brand again. Yes a 4MP 10 year old plus camera can still deliver in 2018, and be great fun to use along the way. So the answer to the question at the top of this post has already been answered. Previously I’ve tried out the Olympus Camedia C4040 Zoom and Sony DSC-L1, and both have performed far better than I expected and endeared my greatly with their very different personalities and sizes. With 36MP digital cameras widely available, and even smartphones offering 19MP plus, the manufacturers try to tell us the more MP, the better your photography will be.īut after coming to love a small collection of classic digital cameras in the last year or so, mostly around 10MP, I’m starting to wonder how many MP we really need to make pleasing images. This is part three of my 4MP digital classics experiment.
