EM1 VS D800 ..LOL

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

Nice! Good use of light in both and well composed. Which is which😀?

And a very lovely model too.

Your post is a good demonstration of exactly why I prefer to use m4/3's equipment for both personal and professional shooting.

Cheers I'll tell her that..not bad for a 50 year old

Yep I'm with you on the m43 thinking..great gear with awesome lenses

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.

Stuck record ...

Jim, none of the differences you mention in your comments/comparisons could possibly be because the light is different, different exposure parameters, different metering, etc, etc ... Must be the "inferior" camera/lens ...

Well, the model is smiling in the Nikon image. The Nikon must be better in this amazingly balanced competition.

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 still obviously like em both cause its her indoors.  LOL

John, I was only commenting on the photos , I never said anything about the gear. All the gear used for these images is more than capable of making wonderful images .

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

A wise choice my friend

50yo? I thought something like 30ish.. OK, now for the images. D800 one is better, but it's different light, and the angle of shooting, D800 one is bit higher.

Cheers for the comments lads...yep she's aged well the old girl..it's the Italian blood in her..:-)

This thread was just for a bit of fun. Not a true comparison as different light etc..but i still think it's useful as i had some really top end nikon gear. Now I have top end MFT , I just think it's amazing what you can achieve these days.. I bloody love the new lens of mine too.. (40-150 pro) so sharp I nicked me finger on it .

Lmao..I'll let her know mate...aye she  is a little cracker

Yep agreed. I do like the lighter gear . I took these in Bali while on a short break..so having the lighter carry on was a blessing,  plenty of sun in Australia  mate..too bleeding much

Yep .she's pretty awesome .cheers
