<p>Thanks guys. I had a good look today at the noise reduction tools in Lightroom 3 and believe that my main concern is now gone...</p>

<p>Thanks Eric. Yes I understand, it is just that the difference between jpeg and raw from the LX3 is much bigger than it is with my other camera (Canon 350D, Rebel XTi).</p>

<p>I experience significantly more noise with raw files from my LX3 than I do with jpegs when opening them with either Lightroom or Photoshop Elements. Any suggestions/explanations/... Much appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. Anyone has any experience in comparing Olympus E-P1 and Sigma DP2?</p>

<p>John, are any of the pictures you show on your site taken by the G-10?</p>

<p>Thanks guys. As to Kari's remark, he's right. A superzoom is not that important to me. I do want a very very good lens though.</p>

<p>I find myself shooting less because carrying a DSLR with 1 or 2 additional lenses sometimes is a burden. So what I am looking for is a very good compact digital camera. Leica is no option because of the price. I have been browsing some of the reviews here and other sites on the Sigma DP series, the Olympus Pen, Canon PS G10, Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1. I would be interested to hear any experiences and/ord advice from PNmembers. Thanks.</p>

Hi there. I am looking for a good tripod for my 350D. Any suggestions? I don't

know where to start. Thanks.

I am still hesitating between these two lenses for my 350 D (Rebel XT). I have

been able to test the Canon 17-40 for a couple of days and it looks alright.

The Tamron does get excellent reviews as well, is cheaper and I can do

portraits with it as well at 50 mm (x1.6). Does anybody have experience with

both of them? Any recommendations? Thanks a lot.

Thanks Christian. Price range up to 750 EUR. Does not have to be very fast, does not have to be a Canon lens.

I have recently bought a 350 D, that comes with a kit EF-S 18-55 lens. I can

see the excellent qualities of the camera but the lens does not do it justice.

The EF 55-200 (f/4.5-5.6 II USM) that I have bought serves me well for the

purposes I need it. What lens would you suggest to me for replacing the wide

angle zoom? I like taking landscapes and portraits. Thanks for all your

suggestions.

Thanks everybody, camera off to KM for free repair... Let's wait and see...

Thanks, Peter, this is what it looks like.

My Dimage A1 produces a completely blurred, somewhat pinky image, both through

the viewfinder and the LCD screen. Anybody familiar with this problem and how

to solve? Thanks, Frank.

I have used Raw Shooter Essentials - which is absolutely free - for over 9 months to my full satisfaction. I can't think of a reason to buy anything. Find it at www.pixmantec.com;
