You know, this little old camera (Nikon P50 still) doesn't perform at all reliably, and frankly, framing with the marginal LCD isn't fun (the little viewfinder is even worse) - but if it works, the images are really surprisingly nice. This is from a 1/2.5" 8MP CCD sensor ...

Taken at the end of a gray, rainy Oregon day, with my non-waterproof little GRDiii.

There were not many bees in evidence during the downpour: they were sheltering-in-place in their beehives

Found a battery that held some charge that fitted in the Digilux today so took it on a walk.
As with previous posts these are shot in JPEG & apart from a straighten or crop in iphoto they have not been altered at all, no sharpening or contrast tweaks or anything else.
I will apologise in advance for most of the shots being a bit "samey" to some posted previously but i did want to evaluate the D2 against newer cameras.
i shot the inside pics at Max ISO 400. They are pretty noisy but people like the D2 noise as they say it's grain like...
i guess i'm too used to modern, clean output as i'm not too keen on it. Foolishly i didn't try the same shots at ISO100 as i didn't change settings again til i went outside

Now please remember this is a 5mpx camera from 2004 so its a technological dinosaur however the lens is really good & those grey tones are to die for..
This first one is SOOC, no cropping no anything, exactly as shot..

Still captures beautiful images. Nicely done.

Still captures beautiful images. Nicely done.

Yeah it's a nice old thing. it looks great. Real oldtime Leica rangefinder looks but as long as you manage your expectations & keep it sensible it can still deliver some very nice images.
it's a bit slow to operate & needs good light so i guess i should treat it much like a classic car.
Only take it out on a sunny day when you're in no hurry

Taken the other day, strolling around the downtown business area of a small Oregon town - where the owner of an automotive transmission repair shop has come up with an ingenious way to advertise his business.

This was a color jpeg from my GRDiii.

Taken with the GRDiii on a morning stroll through the small Oregon town where I live. This was in a municipal park.

The only thing that caught my eye while out today was a couple of modified VW Golfs..

The light was quite nice in Surrey earlier. I think the LX5 is still very handy to have in a pocket.

I offered to replace my wife's LX5 but she won't let it go.

So glad someone resurrected this thread. I’m sure I’ll be able to contribute to this with all the early 2000’s cameras I’ve been gobbling up lately.

Might even entertain snagging one of those cool looking Leica Digilux 2 I’ve been seeing around - since I saw an older post here where someone was sporting some images from it.

I revived my LX3 last year. A little bit slow but I like to use the dynamic B&W mode purely for B&W street photo

After 4 inches of snow, took the girls to a local park for some nature hiking. We had the whole place to ourselves.

SOOC JPG except for image #2. That JPG was massaged a little bit in Nik Analog Efex - Classic Camera 7 preset as a base.

Very cool set of photos, Andrew... I'm impressed with what you are doing with this neat older camera.
I also have to confess my favorite of these in terms of tonalities and colors is the one you tweaked in Analog Efex Pro - it has a muted richness to it which is very impressive.
Hope to see more from your DiMage excursions!

Processed these from RAW - stayed out longer than I anticipated in the cold today, 11F (-11C), didn't want the dogs out too long.
