Re: A m4/3 owner ready to buy the fuji s5 pro for playing around?

I didn't use VR lenses (according to manual it supports VR), of course things can get better with VR and shorter focal length. But for portraits the 50 mm AF-D is cheap and has better color rendition (some people say) however anything below 1/100 is soft. With epl7 I can shoot handheld at ridiculous speeds.

and for OP (and others) this is a link (if you did see it already or if it was posted before, I apologize) where you can see some gorgeous portraits taken with S5 that emphasize that silky smooth look (which can't be seen anymore in today's cameras) - these pictures (and others) made me buy this camera even if it was 10 years old.

If you look at the pictures description you can see what lenses were used and evaluate them.
