some saturday morning pics with the new camera ...

with home just peeking from the left :)

Great photos, great watches...
Thank you Shing.
What kind of camera did you buy?

thanks Dimitris.

LOL. the same series as the one Nad and SC recommended, Leica D-Lux 5. Had the perfect excuse too - i needed a new camera that had a good underwater housing for diving :)

I have the same model, extraordinary photos don't you think?

absolutely amazing. its a fast, intuitive camera, never-mind the outstanding lens. and to think many commentators say its "the same camera as the Panasonic LX5". they could't be more wrong :) it has a far superior sensor and the color contrast and tones are far far better.

Agree with you mate!

Nice Shing! If u interested LOB in Maldive 26th Aug - 3rd Sep. drop me a mail, test out the new camera. :)

Really nice pictures, and what more can be said about those lovely watches? Good job, Shing!

Very beautiful pictures: what better recommendation for a new camera than these is needed? If the sensor etc. are better than in the Panasonic, and the price is about the same, well, the choice is easy. And a Leica label looks nicer too...

Kind regards,
Paul

thanks guys. I love the new camera.

heyhey KS, thanks for the offer - unfortunately I have to decline because of schedule difficulties - for work reasons I have to be around at the end of almost every month :(

I was last in Maldives over Christmas a few years ago (and actually got my advanced licence there) and I must say the diving there is spectacular (especially for the lazy diver who wants to dive in calm warm waters lol, yours truly is one such!). I have plans to head hack to Maldives but earliest would probably be this Xmas - your LOB (live on board) idea is interesting especially if we get to see palageics ? off on a tangent, seeing a sunfish was my childhood dream since six years old when I saw it in Encylopedia Brittanica and I achieved that two years ago in Bali !

Alas Paul, if only that were true ! Unfortunately the Leica is approximately double the price of the Panasonic LX5 :( For me, its worth the price though. I just returned from dinner, and glanced up to take shots of the crescent moon with ONLY my Leica without any additional telephoto lens .. well, look for yourself :)

Totally agree....i have the Dlux 4 and was very happy to use it as an everyday or travel camera.

Excellent photos. Well done.

Great photos - nice Watches. Amazing what you guys do with those cameras'!

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Best regards
Mark

Great picture's and lovely watches, well done and thanks for sharing.

Really nice, quite convincing. Until now I use a now 5 years old Nikon Coolpix: very nice when there is enough light, but not so in darker conditions. And pictures of watches are difficult, especially with a white dial. Maybe I must say: pictures of watches are difficult, period. If I cannot convince myself to buy a new watch, I might go for the Leica: far cheaper!

Kind regards,
Paul
