Even though weâre only one week into the new year, Iâll be surprised if I see a better photo than this for 2013. Taken at Dunalley in Tassie last week.
I dunno what the current hotness is, but I got a Lumix GF3 with 14mm prime for under $400, and theyâre even cheaper now. Iâm really happy with mine.
Donât really know what else is out there.
It really depends on how small you are thinking. Are you after a pocketable camera no bigger than a wallet or something smaller than a DSLR?
I am pretty happy with my panasonic dmc-lx3 which can be picked up for a bargain, or even the lx5. After using the GF1 for the last 3 months, the controls on the lx3 arenât as intuitive though. But the good thing I found was setting up a few custom settings and switching between them, instead of stuffing around with adjusting the settings manually each time.
For the budget you have though, I would pick up something second hand. There as so many good cameras out there now and people are looking at offloading their âoldâ cameras due to a case of upgradeitis.
Yup⌠here is my favourite quote from a review on these:
âThere is one thing thatâs functional about the retro design - it makes the camera unintimidating. People avoid you when you point a SLR at them. They just think youâre a hipster with a film camera when you point the X100.â
