Which is a better camera the dlux 5 or 6 price aside?

There may be some specs differences, but from a user point of view, practically speaking, they are very similar. Hope this helps.

It is not easy to find a side with pictures to compare these cameras. I woud say, go into a shop and make some pictures with these two cameras and compare them. My camera is the d-lux 5. I made some pictures without any light, I mean, I saw nothing in the room. This extremly picture with the camera and tripod was ok. You can compare the deteils on the leica side, where you can download the pdf-s. Here are two links: The d-lux 6 has a nice depth of focus http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1177155/0 The pictures form the d-lux 5 are also well. https://www.flickr.com/photos/adowomac/5550269587/in/set-72157625657832783/ Compare the picture borders, but you will not see any differences. In my opinion, the d-lux 6 pictures are a bit shaper in depth of focus.

Wrong guy to ask I suppose. I have never tried the Dlux 6. As I understand it, the 6 is an upgraded version of the 5. From reading, changes are a faster lens (F/1.4 vs 2.0), new sensor, higher ISO, higher resolution screen, and apparently some newer features such as HDR. I don't plan to upgrade but if I didn't have the 5 I would probably get the 6.

I know little about the 6. I know how ever the f2.0 summicron is an excellent lens and has been priced about the same and even a little more.I would not trade my 5 for the 6 from what little I have seen.

I think it is definitely worth it: you will have 18 megapixels in contrast to 12, a better range of high ISO settings with less noise, and my perhaps favorite thing: a swivel screen which enables you to see what you are shooting when the camera is held down low or above your head...without sitting on the ground or climbing on something. I love my t5i!

This will help you Frank: http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC_G6/verdict.shtmlGo for the G6. It's a great camera.

Just get the "D5" product. Just use a quick shot - it can be a little messy.

I think most of the listings for the D-Lux 5 are just obsolete Internet links. But I agree with the others that the D-Lux 5 is a superb, reliable camera that delivers really exceptional results.

Don't be sad, I actually prefer the 5.5 generation over the classic. I ended up keeping mine instead of getting a classic. Its much zippier in navigating, especially if you have a lot of videos and the click wheel works much smoother. All in all the 5.5 generation is my favorite thus far.

When it comes to actually making great photos, there simply is no comparison. Don't get me wrong- the 5R is a great camera. But without a viewfinder and the ability to optimally brace your elbows against your body as you watch your subject through the viewfinder and s-q-u-e-e-z-e the shutter, it is difficult to get good shots. The NEX-6 with the 16-50mm zoom is the closest you will get to the quality of image you would get from a DSLR - but in a package you can stuff into a jacket pocket. There are many people who buy the 5R, and then realize it's difficult seeing the LCD screen in bright daylight. They then have to invest in the optional EVF, which drives the whole package higher than if they just bought the NEX-6 to begin with.

Probably not. The 6 has an extended lens, different from the 5. I believe the Olloclip group has already made one available for the 6.

D-Lux 6 is a CMOS sensor. CCD is much more lifelike, and more treasured among Leica crowd.

In my opinion, both of them will take great portraits... you can never go wrong with any of them. Your portrait shot will just depend on what lens you have and the kind of lighting you have. They're both full frame. Only 6D has GPS, 11 focus points, Wi-fi, if you can live without those you'll be fine with 5D. By the way mine is 5D mark ii.

The G6, hands down. I compared the cameras head to head and the NEX-6 had better stills but the G6 had significantly better video.

D10 all the way. Its stats are similar to the Olympus with it taking better pictures. I have heard good things about the Lumix, but it is only Wp to 10 feet.

Most definitely ! I have the mkII and my wife has the 6d. The 600 flash is the best for this application with a tt5 times two or a tt5 and tt1 combo. Pocket wizards customer service is top notch btw, if you have specific application questions. Cheers,John

Wish I could help you but the Nex-6 is my first Nex camera and I don't know much about the others. Sorry

The size of the lx5 is a deal breaker for me, I just sold my g11 because it was too big to fit in my pockets and I would never bring it anywhere. Though I love the look of the lx5(the s95 looks so cheap and consumer-y) and wanted to give another brand a try, the s95 seems like the smallest camera with a decent sized sensor, there really aren't any other options.

I think so. Some say the 5D is better for video but I shot video at Christmas with the 6D and was very satisfied. I love my 6 D and have shot maybe 2000 images and really like the the ability to shoot at higher ISO

I think you are going to be happy with the 6d. If you can afford the 5d, indulge!! You are going to get a much better focusing system, a better build and a faster camera overall. This is assuming you don't need the wifi nor the GPS system. I love how fast the focusing system works on the 5d. It responds very well in dim light, is blazing fast and very accurate. This I believe is the main difference with the 6d
