I want something small for street shooting especially on rainy nights, at this point guessing the Oly with the Panny 20mm 1.7 , that lens does work on that body doesn't it?
I did some of this kind of shooting last Saturday evening with all the lights reflected off the wet and shooting into restaurants with my iPhone and then processing in black and white with some success and it was really fun. It got me wondering if this could be done with a point and shoot. Otherwise I'd have to use my MKIII and something like a 35mm which would draw entirely too much attention- people get real suspicious when the see the big camera but a little one just isn't taken seriously.
So I was wondering about the combination of bumping up the ISO on the Oly- I do need image stabilization but which lens around a 35-50mm lens equivalent that does have a good autofocus so maybe the Panny lens wouldn't work. But I would like the best image quality I can get. I even read up on that new $2,000 Leica point and shoot- that would have to take some huge justification- but it's a 2.8 and the screen resolution is really low and I really do want the best screen I can get.
Between the G10 and G11, which would be the best for this kind of shooting, for both color and black and white- I am holding hope also that Lightroom 3's ability to give a film grain look actually is pleasing, I really did love the look of the grain from Tri-X film, also when pushed in development.
