the Leica

as of now

i think i'll add this little thing to show you what camera i'm actually using to shoot the pictures i'll be displaying in the subsequent posts

and for this one

it'd be this

well

i've been wanting to buy a compact compact camera for a while now

actually i have a few compacts

2 compacts previously to be precise

but then

their size

to me

isn't compact at all man

Canon Powershot D10

bought it for all the underwater pictures

and especially for my Bali trip the other time





Canon Powershot G9

Won it two years ago from the Canon Photo Marathon 2007

these two cams are great

produces amazing pictures

couldn't ask for more from them

but then

they're used only for specific purposes

i use to carry my G9 for my travel trips for all the video-ing

and other random snapshots

the G9 has thus been replaced with the D10 for my travel compact cam

it's more versatile,

and the best thing is

it can shoot underwater :)

so for now,

the G9 will rest in the dry box

and the D10 will definitely be with me if i happen to go to beaches or swimmings for now

see these two camera

despite it's quality

is still a little too big for me

that's when i began researching and finding around a compact compact camera

like

ultra compact camera those kind

i want a small, good, quality, compact camera

so that i can have a camera with me

just for the usual casual snapshots with friends

or for those moments i had always wished i have a camera with me

then

i considered

the Lumix LX 3

i'm comfortable with its price

the size was ok

slightly slimmer than the G9

and produces amazing quality

i went down to look at its actual size

= too big

the lens doesn't retract back in

bulky still in my ultra compact camera category

that's when i further research for a compact camera

somehow

i've never considered sony

i don't know why

and when i saw the Leica C Lux 3

I FEEL IN LOVE immediately !

went down to take a look

did test shots

and was blown away !!!

so

here's the new member of my camera and lenses family !

my very first Leica :)

i'm looking forward to some amazing HD videos and pictures from it in the near future !

arts festival pictures will be resumed tomorrow !
