Hello!

... it depends - do you want to make do with one of the best 6MP outputs ever or do you want more pixels to work with (the S5 matches my Canon 20D but stays behind my Oly E3 in terms of resolving power with more workable files alltogether).

If you want to make do with it - it is well worth it. And it is not rocket science either. Make a factory reset, shoot RAW, use A-mode and a tripod (or fast enough shutter speeds) and adjust the exposure comp. to get the histogram to where you want it. The rest is easily done in the converting process.

A simple prime (used 50/1.8 D or MF, 40mm macro etc) will work wonders and can be had for little money.

I currently shoot (amongst many others) an XT2, D810 and A7RII and still like to pick the S5 for some casual shooting because I love the tonality (without having to spend a lot of time in processing to get it there).

Best,

Alex

Today i try it with the 50mm f1.8. the result i like it:) very natural colours pleasant to the eyes. i  dont want  this camera to be better than my olympus , i want it to be different and it is. The only negative of 6mp is that you cant have a crop like in more mp. sometimes this can be very important when you taking portraits etc. you can bring a face more close to you without loosing details. to be honest i like the s5. it could be a new technology for me that an old technology:) this images is taken today using the 50mm F1.8
