NX500 Image joy and screen sadness
Hank Photo wrote:
In bright sun or bright shade, the NX500 screen is almost impossible to see and do composition work. I have the LCD set to maximum brightness. From what I was reading, I was hoping that the NX500 would have a brighter screen than the NX300 which I found unacceptable. I do live in the Central Coast of California where the sun is bright but this appears to be a real problem for camera usability. I am going to try a ClearViewer and a hand over the screen but this is hard for me to do with a cane, need something to lean on or a monopod. With a cane, my ideal is a camera I can use with one hand.
I am really missing an EVF. I wonder when Samsung will come out with the NX50. I want to stay small and light.
With my 16mm, 30mm, and old 20-50mm, the still images are impressive! With my 30mm and printing 8 x 10 inch prints, I can get a 3D looking pop. I have shot up to ISO 2500 with nice low noise (JPEG and RAW w/Silklypix). Given my success at 2500, I am going to open up Auto ISO to 5000 or 6400 and see how that works. I will have to see how these higher ISO images compare to by Nikon Df. I leave the Df auto-ISO set at 12,800. The Df is only 16mp so down-sampling the NX500 images may be a nice surprise. I shall see.
