The weather turned out nice today, which is a welcome change from the rain we've been having lately.
I figured I'd take a walk with the new LX5, to see how it felt in actual use. Especially compared with my S95.
Overall I'm very pleased with it, I love the aspect mode switch, it really makes a big difference (for me at least) to have them at my fingertips instead of trying to visualize how the image would look in different aspects.
The controls are very good and easy to use, I would have liked to be able to configure the fn key to resetting the AF area instead of having to press "focus"+"display"+"scroll left for small box"+"half press to clear" after having moved the box around, but I guess I can get used to it.
I did find the camera a bit slippery on the bottom, it has a tendency to slide into my closed hand when I hold it. The grip is fine on the front, but because the plastic is so smooth on the bottom gripping harder with the finger on the front just makes it slide more. I'll have to add some non-slip stuff on the bottom, then I expect it'll be fine.
These are my favourites from today, all developed from raw in Lightroom 3.6
