What people say	Reviewers have negative bias LX2 vs F30 [Page 1] The F30 is both resoluting better detail at its resolution EVEN with the LX2 image down sized to its level.... If you want to know whether F30 is better than LX2, be careful to downsize LX2 to equivalent size or you will see more artifacts than actually occur for a given display or print size.... forums.dpreview.com Reviewers have negative bias LX2 vs F30 [Page 2] I think this does show that the LX2 does definitely pick up the texture detail slightly better and the edges are cleaner than the F30's.... Really that image comparison really should have favored the LX2 more so than the F30, it had the apparent advantage I think even despite the atmospheric conditions I expected more out of it.... forums.dpreview.com Reviewers have negative bias LX2 vs F30 [Page 2] I think this does show that the LX2 does definitely pick up the texture detail slightly better and the edges are cleaner than the F30's....
