I wavered between the Lumix LX7 and the Nikon Coolpix P340. Ultimately I decided against both and wait until the Sony RX 100 III sold off. The camera should replace my EOS 450D. For I am come for me to conclude that the modern compact cameras have now arrived at a point where you do not need more DSLR. The image quality of modern sensors surpass my old EOS in most cases already. Add to this that my needs have changed a little camera. Was a few years ago, the image quality is the only scale, so it is now the camera size. I want a device that I can always carry. The second important factor is the suitability for shooting in "Candlelight". I am looking nobody who likes homemade landscape photos. For me, life has to put in the picture and I want to match pictures and creatures with the exact lighting effect. The third important factor is the wide-angle. The lens must be able to reach at least 24mm. The zoom on the other hand is relatively unimportant to me. On subjective factors I expect sharp images with natural-looking colors. I want to cover most of the automatic and post-processing images should be able to account for. A matter of course is the service. I want to work with the camera and not fight against them.
And right here is the problem of Nikon. I just had to work the feeling against the camera and not with her. Unpleasant pressure points on buttons, menus and strange unpleasant haptics have spoiled my fun. The picture quality, however, was faultless and the color is very beautiful. Only in night shots of the photo could shine nich.
