While the newly acquired LX7 isn’t the smallest compact camera around, it still fits very nicely into the side pockets of the bermudas I wear when we’re out of home on weekend trips. It’s a more discrete photo-taking device than the E-M5 or the E-PL2 the former replaced, and also a less obvious device than a camera-equipped smartphone by virtue of how one has to hold those those devices to properly compose a picture. That said, even with the bright f1.4 lens, I’ve restricted pictures to under ISO400. It might just be my eyes, but noise starts becoming noticeable with pictures above ISO400. Here’s a small selection of pictures taken of Hannah over the last couple of days.<\/p>\n

Hannah with a kiddie computer. It’s a hand-me down from Ling’s ex-colleage. She’s been enjoying especially the musical modes of the play toy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another activity she enjoys; rolling up paper receipts into makeshift binoculars. I’ve got an actual one for her on order off eBay – it should be arriving very soon.:)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Quickie and discretely taken picture at a Compass Point store.:)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The LX7’s macro feature coupled with a minimum focusing distance of just 1 cm is pretty nifty on the other hand, and from the first couple of macro attempts, fares better than the 12-50mm on the E-M5. The next time Ling wants a super close-up of a plant for her biology lessons, this is gonna be the camera to do the job.:)<\/p>\n

No cropping in this close-up; just resizing. The front lens element was just about 2 cm away from the watch glass panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
