two images..one from my old D800 and 24-70 F2.8 and the newer one a little over two years later with a Em1 and 40-150 f2.8..same hotel pool, same sunnies !! ..same women similar pose different look !.. gotta love the cameras ..just a bit of fun, no comparo ..both smallish Jpegs and been through the same processing with retouch etc

yep Id have to agree with that comment..I too prefer the older image ..not because of the darker background of the latest ..but the harsh light in it does nobody any favours..would have been nice to have had a diffuser . the top image looks like i took it in shade whereas the other in full sun . I also prefer the pose in the older shot

I shoot both FF and mFT and both are very capable, there is a lot of pleasure gained by using the lighter smaller mFT kit. Harsh sunlight is always a challenge though here in not so sunny Scotland it will not be much of an issue for a while

I still obviously like em both cause its her indoors. LOL

A wise choice my friend

As a portrait the second image looks poorer in just about every way, not the lovely model I hasten to add :-). It has rather harsh contrast, giving a dark and somewhat muddy background.
