Best advance/high end digital camera?

Question

Some said one of the best are Canon S95 and Lumix LX5. Between the two, which is better? Which take better photos during the day and night? Which has better image quality?

Any cameras better than the two?

Answer 1

The two cameras you mentioned are not high end at all. They are very basic point and shoot digital cameras.



Among the two i think the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 is better:

I can compare the two in detail for you.



Advantages of the Panasonic DMC-LX5 over Canon PowerShot S95:



1. Much larger sensor 1/1.7" 8.3x6.2mm vs 1/1.7" 7.6x5.7mm

2. Significantly better wide angle 24 mm vs 28 mm

3. Much longer battery life 400 shots vs 200 shots

4. Shoots faster 6 fps vs 1.9 fps

5 Supports an external flash Yes vs No

6. Better macro capability 1 cm vs 5 cm

7. Much longer exposures 60s vs 15s

8. Slightly less shutter lag 351 ms vs 610 ms

9. Much faster max shutter speed 1/4000s vs 1/1600s

Answer 2

As always, the answer depends on what you want to do w/ the camera, that is, your "shooting style". They're both excellent fixed lens point and shoot cameras. Image quality for each of the cameras is virtually the same, unless you're into what's called "pixel-peeping", which is looking at every picture at 100% full size on a perfectly color-calibrated monitor. Under that condition the S95 has a VERY SLIGHT edge. The S95 is a great camera FOR STILL IMAGES. It'll fit in the front pocket of your garden-variety hipster's peg-legged jeans who isn't too interested in doing much else w/ the camera besides leaving it on either the AutoEverything mode or one of the semi-automatic modes. Stray too far from doing that w/ it though, and you'll experience this camera's glaring deficiencies (all of the following points are referenced regarding the S95 in comparison to my choice of an enthusiast's fixed lens compact camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5). The video mode on the S95 is .mov, resulting in comparatively huge file sizes compared to the LX5's choice of either the aforementioned motion jpeg or the much more streamlined and up to date .mts files of the AVCHD Lite video codec. The S95 has no AutoFocus or Optical Zoom in video mode vs. the LX5 which has both. The build quality of the LX5 is better, it just feels like it's more solidly built than the S95. The LX5 has a hot shoe for a flash and an accessory port for either an optical or EV finder, the S95 has capabilities for neither. The LX5 has a wider (24mm vs. the S95's 28mm at the wide end) and faster lens the further towards its tele end of its zoom that you go. This means that the much-touted low light/high iso capabilities of the S95 have to be taken w/ somewhat of a more "real life" grain of salt. The further away from the wide end of the S95's zoom that you get, the more it's capability falls away. Translation?: The LX5 will handle taking the same picture at a lower iso w/ less noise than you could take the same picture w/ the S95 w/o having to resort to using a tripod. In summation, if you like taking great snapshots w/ a camera you can carry in the front pocket of your jeans (although I certainly wouldn't recommend it) get an S95, but if you're more serious about creative photography, believe me, given a choice of those two cameras based on quality and/or creative capability in the current crop of enthusiast's fixed lens point and shoots, I'd still go w/ the LX5 hands down. And especially since the firmware update in September of 2011 which added new features and improvements such as better white balance, a new customizable lcd screen which lets you tailor your lcd's image to much more closely match what your eye is seeing, a "miniaturize/tilt-shift" effect filter in both movie and still mode to make it look like you're taking either still pictures or video footage of a "stop action animation" model. In addition the length of the shutter speed in MANUAL MODE has been increased to 4 MINUTES AND 10 SECONDS, enabling you to take extremely low iso photographs of nighttime scenery w/ very little noise which are simply out of the question w/ the S95. And finally, w/ it's price hovering around only $370 brand new from a reputable online dealer like jr.com w/ free shipping, only added sales tax to your locale if applicable would be the only added cost.

Answer 3

hi Isabella depending on the guidance provided, we would also propose paying for a digicam which has a more desirable positive optical zoom as your mum has referred to. in spite of the actual undeniable actuality that the GE kind does have more desirable mega-pixels, the optical zoom featured on the Fujifilm digicam might want to enlarge and secure a higher photo high quality average by potential of making gadgets seem closer. there is also the income of 720 p severe definition on the Fujifilm, it really is a few thing the GE kind does no longer characteristic. i wish this helps. thanks Matt from Comet

Answer 4

SLR are the best cameras which take pictures better in day and night.

Answer 5

Depends how you define 'high end'! There's the Hasselblad at about £25,000 and similar in US dollars!

Answer 6

Your concepts of best, advance, and high-end are far too different from mine.
