Incredible camera for a limited set of situations

I think you hit the nail on the head. Let me say I love this camera, for landscape and still life. I would much rather shoot with this camera than the D800 which I disposed of. The physical form of the camera, the fixed optics, the sparse user settings, hearken back to a simpler time. Leica-like simplicity. There is nothing on the camera that does not need to be there. I have a different workflow than most, using Jpeg Plus Raw mode, from PM5, I select only a few images to take over to SPP for processing. Those full 16 bit, uncompressed TIFF images gently nudged in SPP are phenomenal. This is a deliberate, slow process, and this camera and it's workflow make you contemplate what you are doing. I did read one philosophy that you should let all images develop for a while on the card. The implication being that in the emotional vortex of taking pictures you misjudge the good ones. Everything about the shoot heightens your emotional attachment to the photos. Only after a time can you go back and really look at the pictures. I have printed a lot of photos within days of a shoot that I have to throw out. The best images float to the top only after proper fermentation.

I suppose you could just set up your JPEG profiles and shoot away, but any camera can do that. This camera has no WiFi, no Facebook app, and it does not want one.

The other thing to emphasize is the incredible optics. I am very impressed with the clarity of the images. I have a 30 A on a Sony camera, and I thought those optics were good. These are better. Not sure if the lens is different, it certainly is physically larger, or it's due to the sensor. Comparing images processed in a similar fashion, the Quattro wins each time. In fact, that's the one thing I do notice is the loss of some data off the Sony due to compression of the Raw files, that does not happen with the Quattro.
