Baby, It's the STEALTH!

Fujians,

OK, I finally made the plunge into mirrorless but please don't tell the S5 Pro!

I ran around on errands today and found the color trueness and responsiveness of the X-E1 to be impressive, by my standards, anyway.

But I have to tell you what really makes this machine a completely new tool is its stealthiness in Auto mode. It knows what to do. You just sneak about and point it at subject matter.

I've never been able to capture portraiture with this degree of casual engagement. Pull from pocket. Shoot. Return. Call me Secret Agent Photog

Now, safe to say, I am never surrendering my S5 Pro and Zeiss 21mm. That combination was inspired by fortune, provenance and a good year at work. But this wee gizmo, yes, I will have some assignments requiring invisibility and this is just the kit to have on hand.

Peter
