Disappointed, But Still Takes Great Pix
|
My KM Dimage X50 went EVERYWHERE with me; wouldn't leave home w/o it. I never thought I'd need another. Then, after 2.5 years of frequent use, it developed yellow streaks (internally; not on the SD cards!)that showed in every picture. But when I did, I logically went to the next KM up the line--the X60.
I didn't think the lack of viewfinder in the X60 would be a big deal. Was I ever wrong. I don't care what the review says about glare-proof LCD screen. Forget it. In bright sun, especially when it's behind you (rather than overhead), it is difficult to see the full composition of your shots. That pretty much ices it for me. Most of my pictures are outdoor shots. I find I get a much better idea for the light, color and framing of the future picture, via the viewfinder, zoom, etc. than using the LCD screen. Maybe it's just a case of getting "used to", but that doesn't mean I'm not disappointed. How many shots do I need to take--and potentially miss or hate, because I had to get used to the glare on the LCD? Sorry, but no. That's time and pictures I'll never get back. And not for the excruciating price of $643 now?? Perhaps KM is getting out of the p/s biz.
I still wanted a pocket-sized point-and-shoot, but not the risk and frustration. So, I've gone to a Canon SD1000 Elph 7.1mp, and am glad to have the viewfinder again (but the large prints are only 17x11, instead of the 36x24 from the Dimages). But therein lies the trade-off. I'll live with that.
Otherwise, the X60 is still a great little camera. Only two of the 5 batteries I've had since the X50, died completely. The SD card is the best storage medium and you can do amazing, wonderful things with the shots, in either Photoshop or MS Digital Image Pro.
...but the X60 is my "indoor" camera, now. |
