**Photography Talk**

probably won't see many more photos from me, camera is for sale. Just not getting the use it deserves. Anyone looking to pick up a hell of a good deal on a DSLR, Lens and extras PM me! :(

What kind of camera?

You should list on eBay. Be sure to start at $0.99 for opening bid - it works!
 
Good luck with the sale. Trust me you will get far more traction if you list it on EBAY. The buyers are simply not here on T4R.

I've sold on EBAY quite a bit. Be sure to list it is as a USA camera, post lots of pictures, include warrant card even if expired (for reference), list for 7 days, make sure the end time is like 8pm USA, start listing at $0.99 (this will gain clicks). You can put in a reserve but it isn't needed and usually only gives money to EBAY as they charge higher fees.

Anyone here have an IR conversion done to one of their cameras? I'm seriously thinking about getting one done. I still have my 30D Canon that is just itching to be rotated back into use.

I was going to use these guys for the conversion: Kolari Vision Infrared Conversion Service and IR Photography Cameras They seem to have very good feedback in terms of conversion quality & customer service. Very informative website too.

This is who I'll be sending my 5D II to, for an IR conversion sometime over the Winter months...
 
I am not a big fan of HDR photos for some reason.

glad im not the only one. Im super lazy and i don't want to take 3-7 pics. process all of them through multiple softwares. too time consuming. the really cartoony ones are the worst. some look amazing but I never get those results.

I think in the right circumstances, the use of HDR is perfect and pretty subtle. The advent of the "HRD" feature on phones has made the look of it ridiculous as well as people overdoing it in post.
 
couple shots from Italy that I finally got around to editing

OK, decided to upgrade my point and shoot camera. I currently have a Panasonic LX-3 that in all purposes is VERY ancient, but I've been pretty happy with the photos it produces with the size of it. But, there are a few cameras that have been released that are looking to make me want to change. I don't need/want a DSLR as I have a D800. Just something small that still takes good photos.

With just starting my search I've come up with three so far. The Sony RX100 iii, Panasonic LX100 and the Canon G7 X. Anyone have one of these three and care to give me your two cents?

Here are a few things I'm either looking for or that is not important:

- Small. Doesn't need to fit in a pants pocket, but at least a jacket pocket

- High quality photos in comparison to size.

- Fixed lens. Don't want an interchangeable lens system.

- Good video. Does not need to be 4k, but would like at least 1080. 24 frames while not a deal breaker, is pretty important.

- RAW

- EVF is not a must

- Fast lens

- I'd actually prefer to not have a screen that flips. I feel the less moving parts, the better when it comes to longevity.

- Goo build quality. The less plastic used, the better.



Thanks again for any thoughts. If I think of anything else, I'll add to the list.

I've heard lots of good things about the LX100 (the Leica lens doesn't hurt) but it's pretty different from your other two choices as it's a fixed focal length - 35mm. If you're fine with that I'd also look at the Fuji X100T which is probably its closest competitor and also a 35mm fixed focal length with a larger APS-C sensor instead of MFT.

I have the RX100 iii and I think it's a great small point and shoot. It has a 24-70mm Zeiss zoom with a constant f/1.8. For me it's perfect as a small travel camera with outstanding image quality for a 1" sensor. The 24-70 f/2.8 zoom is the lens I use the most on my DSLR so it was a bit of a no-brainer. Build quality is good and I can actually fit it in the front pocket of my jeans - ymmv especially if you wear skinny jeans ;) All the reviews I've seen put the RX100 iii above the Canon G7 X but also at a higher price.

Here's a few video reviews for you to consider.

Thanks for all the info! On paper I like the LX100 the best but want to feel each one in my hands first. I do think the size may be a deal breaker. Seems like the stabilization is a bit better on the G7 X as well as having a slightly longer range as well as a slightly faster lens throughout. In early looks, I'd also say I like the colors and video quality better on it as well, but colors can be adjusted in post to suit personal preference. Everything else seems to lie towards the RX100.

The LX100 has a 24-75mm lens.

Ah. For some reason I always thought it was a fixed focal length because it looks so similar to the X100. One advantage is if you already have a Panasonic the button and menu layout will probably be similar. I totally agree with you that holding the camera is often the deciding factor. Ergonomics make such a huge difference.
