Can anyone offer an opinion as to how the new Leica C Typ 112 compares to this DSC-RX100M2
2023686
I think a better question would be how does the RX100M2 compare to the Panasonic LF1 upon which the Leica C is based. I do know the lens is not as fast and image back is smaller, so the RX100M2 should be better in low light for sure. The C has a built-in EVF, but not very high res. The pricey external viewfinder for the Sony has 10 times the resolution.

Sorry never used the Leica so unable to offer comparison. Btw you might want to be more specific as to what aspect of two cameras to be compared (IQ, ergonomics, etc.).

Hello, They are the same. The camera comes in Gold and Dark Red. The catalog number of the Gold is 18485 and the Dark Red is 18489. The verbiage Type 112, is a fairly new numbering system Leica is using to differentiate between the older cameras which had similar names. For example the prior versions of this camera where C-Lux, C-Lux 2, etc. Regards, Roozbeh OC camera 949-347-1276

owning both of them i can tell you that the difference between both is HUGE, if you are a pro and really make your living out of photography i say go for it-the controls are a bit different since now you have a wheel to move thru the menus but you will love it once you get used to, it comes with its own stofen-like diffuser and color gel holder since the latest nikon cameras can detect the color of the gel used and then modify the white balance

I own both. Bought one of first 18-200s made in Japan to go with my first dslr: D50 that I got for a trip to the Bahamas. Have wonderful images I still enjoy. Now have lightweight D5000 and super D7000. Bought 18-140 for light weight to hike w/D5000. Use 28-200 w/D7000 otherwise.Both focus quickly, iq is similar. Both have VR but 200 has active mode for shooting while moving, which I love. So 140 wins on weight, price, while 200 adds focal length and versatile VR.

I don't have the 100 or the 300. My last one was the 500HS. It is smaller now and lighter. The night picture without the flash are all nice. I took lots of them during the Holiday lights event, and they all very clear. Also it has anti shaking mode, it snaps and processing very quick so much less blurry when moving. I think that is a major difference for this camera. Battery life is very short that is the only draw back to me. I like it overal all but be sure to get extra battery.

The SX120 at ISO 800 and 1600 is way better than the SX110, this is the biggest difference I've seen. Search for some reviews that have the same shots at ISO1600 for both cameras and compare the two side by side and it'll jump out at you. I'm not so sure the slightly smaller sensor has much difference, sensor technology improves very slowly too, so maybe it has better signal to noise ratio even though it's more MP on a slightly smaller surface area.I don't like the SX200 for a bunch of reasons, the always up flash is annoying. It has a slower lens than the SX110/120, and it's way more expensive. The SX120 at ISO 800 and 1600 is way better than the SX110, this is the biggest difference I've seen.

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.

From what I've read, this is basically the same hardware as the d-lux 4. Differences: different coating on the lens (same lens) different firmware a longer warranty (either 2 or 3 years for Leica - different reviews give different figures - vs 1 year for the LX3). the red Leica logo! Also I've seen it suggested that there are some external bits of rubber trim on the LX3 which are not present on the Leica. I think you also get Capture One software with the Leica, which is a high-end RAW processing package.

Hi Danilo, if you follow the link you can view a comparison of the two cameras made by Graham Houghton and you can learn so much more from his video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdFdjloBrd8 Best of luck Sandro

Thank you. I bought the 2sx230 on 11/11/11 and I noticed outside in the bright sun light it captures movement well well and pretty sharp. Inside not so well. I want very much to learn how to use the ISO and how to make great photos using the manual functions. I bought the canon for its size, I will be traveling which is why I wanted a small camera. The shutter speed seemed to be the fastest. Thanks again these comments are very helpful, I'm really looking forward to getting to know my new camera.

There is no real difference betweeen the two, other than adding the newer digic 4 processor (replacing the older digic 3 processor on the SX110). I don't think this is worth a premium over the SX110. As already discussed in other discussion page, the sensor is slightly smaller (BAD!), and they upped the megapixel to 10 (up from 9 -- almost useless). I really don't understand Canon why they released this camera without anything really worth upgrading from the SX110. I would rather recommend you the SX200, which have much more features, like wide angle, longer zoom, proprietary battery so you can see battery meter on LCD (unlike with the AA batteries), has quicker flash recharge time, speaker is placed on better position, has additional features like color swap, color options like vivid red/blue/green, you can erase part of a movie, and is slimmer. Or, if you want more pro but not going DSLR way, check out the new G11.

I cannot offer a nikon/canon comparison however I upgraded from a S90 to the S120 and am VERY VERY impressed. Amazingly fast user interface, bright rear screen and long battery life are some of the high points. Low light performance is AMAZING compared to my S90. The difference is almost like the change from T2I to 6D full frame in my canon SLR! The bad? Still no RAW converters out there, not even DXO though they report one coming later this month.

I am torn between these exact same two camcorders also. Looking forward to your follow-up post!

I'm deciding between these two cameras as well, and I'm leaning toward the 1100 just because it's prettier. I don't want to sacrifice too much function though... MPs aren't that important to me, but is the battery life significantly better on the 770? Also, I hate the lag between when you click and the shot itself, what's your opinion on the shutter speed (I think that's what it's called) on these things? Thanks!

Just got D- Lux5 used, from Leica blog it is considered better camera. Better pic quality etc. Considered a magic camera by some. Don't upgrade firmware to version 2. Many feel the version 1 is better. Google to read threads.

I have a Lumix DMC-FZ18 and a Canon SX10. I wanted to buy a camera that was a little better than the FZ18 and wait a little longer for a DSLR. Picture quality on the Canon is not as good as the Lumix. Image stabalization on the Lumix is also noticably better. I have already taken over 300 photos of the same scene with both cameras for comparison. I should have upgraded to the Panasonic DMC-FZ28 as it is getting great reviews from everyone on the web.

I'd get a Canon SD870 over the LX2 any day. As for the G9, I think it's a great camera, but I like a wider lens, which the SD870 has. Plus, the SD870 is much smaller and it looks as if you want something that is portable. I'd say keep the D40 and also get an SD870. You'll have a DSLR for when you need one a compact that takes great pics and fits in your pocket. I've never used the Leica so I can't comment on that.
