EX1/TL500 Senior Portrait shoot.
4

I've been fighting my family to let me give my daughter's senior portrait photos a shot. I know an EX1 is not really the 1st choice for portrait photography but it's what I own. All of the below photos are JPEGS, I have the raw but lack the knowledge to process them. Anyway, I had fun, my daughter seems happy and I saved a couple hundred bucks.  "You can't always get what you want...."

Olympus Stylus 1s Samsung TL500 (EX1)

Great compositions!

I still have my EX1...a little and slow wonder with an amazing fast and sharp lens!

Beautiful daughter and a good job by the proud father  EX1 still one of my all time favorite compacts for its form factor and lens quality combo.

I'm sure there are a lot of better cameras out there but it's the best camera I've owned to date. So easy to carry, bright articulating screen and solidly built, I've really put mine to use. I hope to own an SLR someday but this forum has taught me to quit worrying about what you have and just get out and take some pictures. Really aside from the ex1's difficulty in creating bokeh, I love mine.

I agree with all that, particularly the bit about getting out to take some pictures, and the EX1 allows us to do that very conveniently.
