Panasonic used to throw in 16:9 photo papers with the sales of LX1.
But I think u can just print using any paper and then trim it off.....

zcf said:Look more at how other people shoot, think whether you can shoot with similar style, then shoot more, explore more, find your own style.
If needed can attend some photo course, join photographer group outing for discussion or shooting, read some photography book.
BTW, I am a newby also.:sweat:

pop said:that's what everyone is saying, which I have to agree.
But unless people are willing to give specifics, then there is not much sharing of knowledge which is what a forum is for, no?
It would be educational if people would say things like, for eg, "This picture is well-taken because the photographer considered this and that...." or "the cam is set to such and such to bring out this effect of ..." or " when taking a shot like this, must take note to do this or that.."
I'm not here to offend anyone, far from it, I want to make friends with photographic experts and learn. But all I read are praises and praises but no one is able to give further insights that help others to learn.
Just bought the Leica D-Lux 2. About $300 more than LX-1.cyoonsin said:The LEICA DIGI-LUX2 cost $11xx at CP, abt $300 more than the LX-1.

The differences are:
(1) Bigger capacity SD card - 64Mb
(2) Different software bundle: Abode Plug-in for RAW data, Abode Photoshop Elements 3
(3) Beautiful Crumpler/Leica carrying case
... and of course, the design and the red dot
zcf said:and don't be afraid of asking, most forumers here are friendly and willing to share how thy achive the effects,
Thanks.weekh said:Congrads on your new purchase of a Leica!!!! Would love to own it myself.... I'll wait for a D-Lux 3.
Forget about the 64MB SD card. U will fill it up in no time.
The Panasonic which I get from AP comes with a 32MB SD card + a 512MB I think. But I I upgraded it to 1GB. The 32MB card is left lying around.
There are plenty of friendly and responsive forumers in this forum and I learn a lot from them. May be just have to ask them at the right time and right place.pop said:well, i have been very politely asking and pleading. maybe as a newbie i just don't know the right way to ask, but i have been most enthusiastic to learn. but i think you're the only friendly and responsive one unlike those that just enjoy basking in the glory of praises and pretend not to hear my repeated pleas for some teaching. Not even a response.
i appreciate your advice very much. at least i don't feel ignored. as you've humbly said, you're a newbie too, so maybe you can empathise with me better.
I shall stop pleading here and go read those threads/forums you have kindly suggested to me. I will PM you if I have some questions to ask. Hope you don't mind.
Have a very merry christmas and a wonderful new year. may your photographic skills improve by leaps and bounds in the new year and may you continue to be friendly and selfless.
Cheers.:cheergal:
pop said:hmm, no one can teach me a little?
weekh's pictures really look fantastic and i'm sure its not just because of the good cam. So many of you credit the photographer, so just what does a good photographer consider before taking a shot? How about some tips, please?

Bought it from Cathay Photo.tao said:Wow... You are the 1st here with the camera! Where you bought it from?
$300 for the red dot and 2yrs warranty! :bsmilie: Just kidding! At least you get original PS Elements 3.
How do you find the built quality? So can I say that functionally and ergonomics wise, it is exactly the same as the LX1?
Cool!tomcat said:And another thing that surprised me....
for those who are interested in IR photography...
the D-Lux 2 (and LX 1 most likely as well) is quite sensitive to IR. I found that I can actually compose my shots using the LCD display when shooting through a Hoya R72 IR filter. This is in total contrast to the LC1 which is completely blind to IR.
