There IS some talk that an Lx200 is not far away, but tbh i wouldn’t worry about it unless your budget can handle the inevitable price jump.
Keep in mind that with the m4/3 sensor and a lens that is actually a 34mm/2.8 (75mm equivalent) at the long end, bokeh wont be plentiful unless you can get in fairly close. But looking at samples online, it seems there’s enough to give some subject isolation in casual portraits.
Also shoots 4k video if thats your thing, but no option for external mic etc.
Its a good little camera with (imo) excellent external controls if the zoom range suits.
Yeah I’ve been reading the rumours about the LX200. I thought I’d wait a few weeks as Panasonic are expected to make announcements in early Nov supposedly.
l have been a Nikon lover and use for the last 25 years before that l couldn’t afford one. The advent of phone based cameras has eaten into traditional camera sales l am sure, and l have contemplated selling my gear off, but each time l know l will only ever really think about it. Nikon make wonderful cameras and lenses. I have gone from an 801 body, to an F4S, to my current D2S. I still have the first lens l bought with the 801, a 75 - 300 mm, and it is a brilliant bit of kit News that Nikon is having some issues doesn’t surprise me. They need to tie in with a phone company like Leica did with Huewai. I will buy one of their phones next year, mainly because of their Leica developed camera. l will still keep my Nikon gear unless someone makes me a ridiculous offer for it, which is not going to happen, but l won’t feel compelled to lug it around everywhere with me. The Huewai camera is brilliant as well.
