I hike and travel but I am limited to non-DSLR's because of prior neck surgery. Too much weight to carry.
Nevertheless, I strive for the photos that can show precise resolution- like every "hair"
on an eagle's neck feathers, etc., details in flowers, including butterflies and bees, etc. I own a Canon G9 that has served me "acceptably" well, but I'm not satisfied with the lighting, resolution, or the telephoto accesory. For wildlife at a distance, I would certainly like better resolution. Can't spend $'s in the M9 category either.
Recently added Raynox 462mm (35mm equivalent) and 23 mm lenses to the G9. The 462 obviously requires a tripod and is compromised in motion situations like wildlife photography. The wide angle limits light entry, on the one hand, but blocks the flash, on the other.
How much of an improvement in resolution and use in wildlife photography would the Lumix DMC-LX5 be for a person like myself?
Thank you for your answers.
