The Yacht-Master certainly looks brighter, but Leicas are noted for their bright, clear shots.
I think you should work with it a little more and get those settings right, before you give up.
There are too many variables to judge based on two shots only.

i agree with you...i have a couple of shots ill post some again...

Leica makes great cameras (ie: the M bodies and lenses that go with them)
Too much white in the background and you should diffuse the light as well or shine it against something white so it reflects back towards the watch.

Thanks for the advice...i just dont like the lens carrying and all that stuff when i travel...just the camera would be good for it...i already think leica is V-2 is bulky...hehehehe this is my first camera after point and shoot...

The Dlux-5 takes awesome pics...but not macro shots...i just hope i can get one cam for everything...

The Canon takes great pics, but why not invest in a small dSLR and you can take amazing pics?

Yes yes...so sorry i meant V-lux2...

The funny thing is, the slightly smaller sensor in the Dlux combined with its shorter lens range will give you a -deeper- DOF (meaning more is in focus) for any given distance/focal length/f-stop tuple.
Granted, each camera may have different minimum focusing distance so the difference may not be meaningful in practice.
Chances are, you just haven't found the right combination of settings and setup for the Dlux yet.

I agree..im having a hard time finding the right settings for the right shot...
