Re: Balancing act

What I don't get is all the fuss about the body. First thing I thought was: Great street camera. With a wrist strap and the OVF, LCD turned off, zone focussing, and excellent performance at low res, it is a no brainer. Set the auto ISO range to 100-800, lock the aperture to f/8 and you should always be in a good shutter speed range.

The Quattro is as conspicuous as Sony's A7S, which has a silent shutter, can shoot in any light and has autofocus light years ahead of the Sigma.  We'll have to see if any street shooters take to this camera.  I seriously doubt it, sorry.

SPP has always had its ups and downs. It has been faster and slower, better or worse at default settings. But it is what it is and still the best raw converter for these images. And the last I checked, it is much faster than a chemical darkroom. A deal-killer for me, never. But then I don't mind snow blowing a really steep driveway very, very slowly in the middle of a blizzard.

Actually, I can live with SPP.  It's worth it to me as to many on this forum.  But if that isn't an issue why shoot with a slightly faster camera that isn't as good as the model before it?  Unless you think the Q images are better.  Are they?  They'd have to be a lot better for me to choose that camera over an M.  Thoughts?
