C&C: Butterfly loves X-A1

Thanks for viewing Mike !!!

My wife is very happy with XA1. She came from a point & shoot Sony WX5 (it is a good small camera she has been with 3 years) and now start using X-A1.

~~~ For my X-T1 shoots I tried to use higher ISO to prevent hand shaking problem that I have. Plus the place we went was an indoor butterfly conservatory like a green house and the light was not very bright as outdoor The butterflies were flying and most of them never stand still for long. Using a higher shutter speed might have a better chance to freeze any moment --- thats what I thought.

~~~ Both of us did not use flash (I did no teach my wife how to activate XA1 flash so I am 100% sure she didn't use it LOL). I am not sure if flash is allow at the park I never saw anyone using it. I personally do not use on insect as I always think flash will blind insect !!! LOL

~~~ For the XA1 images, maybe me and my wife are not picky we are happy with the result on XA1 + kit lens 16-50. Actually the 16-50 performance was above my expectation!!! I think my wife's skill surely have space to improve --- I can tell the images that she took were not the sharpest. Oh well she has only been using XA1 for few days I think she did a better job than I did with the same amount of time with XT1

~~~ I am not sure about the problem that you have on XA1, since we just start using it for a few days and we are not professional photographer Maybe we should try NR-2 next time. I think the problem might come from Fuji Noise Reduction algorithm on jpeg

~~~ We highly recommend this butterfly conservatory for anyone who live in Toronto area:

Me and my wife had so much fun there taking photos + sharing lenses by using XT1 and XA1.
