Apologies, couple recycles here...
I could post endless samples, but I'm limiting myself to only 10.
Thx for that lightgreen. Your pictures are great, as usual.
Actually LR was my second handle. TTH was my first. I made the mistake of having the mods scrub my account which removed all posts when I ditched that one. However, during that phase in time I was EOS M3 and thus antsy for an upgrade. Most posts revolved around regurgitated specs, patents, etc, not many samples as I was shy sharing back then. Not much lost, but it's hard finding some of the stuff I dug up these days.
It has been on my purchase list forever & a day. Never actually bought it caus I was afraid of:
- The strange swivelling video people screen (not for street shooters)
- The poor low light performance (thats where big sensors come into their own, right?) See how a Fuji XF10 compares with the G1XM3 @ iso 12800 on DPR's tool....
Yes, the Fuji has a newer sensor, coupled with a prime which I'm guessing is an "honest" f/2.8 vs the G1X III's f/2.8 may in fact be say, f/3.1 (which perhaps should be f/3.2 but marketing fudged a bit I'm sure)? Happens. That's why we have tools to show when folks are stretching/bending the numbers like DPR's studio scene and DXO Mark results, if you believe them (I believe the raw metrics, but not their overall scoring system).
That Fuji has no zoom though and that Sony RX100 V is (still) getting beat at ISO 12800 in RAW and especially JPEG, which means it is likely employing RAW noise reduction which impacts the JPEGs (or your RAW processor of choice) ability to ultimately resolve detail (ha-ha, you can cheat, but you get caught eventually).
APS-C is still APS-C.
- The short battery life (no, i refuse to buy extra)
That's a price you pay for the very small form factor. I do get around 400-500 shots myself which greatly exceeds the CIPA. It's enough for me to wander out without a spare if I have a full charge or if it's a short outing. But anything full day, I have a topped off spare in the pocket. I don't find it a show stopper, but, I can understand if others do.
But it remains a very tempting little beast for many reasons
