Anybody still using an S5Pro?
3

Took mine for a spin today, only regret using the 60G rather than the old 50D, next time...

As usual my son patiently posed for me

Got one. Don’t use enough. Of all my old cameras this is the one most limited by my own lens arsenal as I have exactly one Nikkor AF. Thinking of using it at an upcoming wedding.

Nice color, wondering why you regret using 60G instead of 50D? The former is a fine and versatile lens. I am also suprise that your battery is still working.

The old 50D f1.4 is somehow smoother than the 60 even tho not as sharp at all

Re: Anybody still using an S5Pro?

No S5 but i did take out my S3PRO last week and attached sigma. I saw why i was 100% happy in the day. To me, even by todays stansard i was shocked at how good the pictures were. I'm beginning to think that maybe apart from things like noise and fast focusing picture quality on a good day id not night and day. Last year i did a test, on a nice day between my Oly E1 and a chums Sony A7R. Printed A4, 12 people couldn't say which was which. Last week a friend who works in a photo shop compared them. After 5 minutes (a long time) he eventually picked out the sony. Very very slightly sharper. Pictures from my S3PRO are lovely, maybe not for pros but, i'm not a pro.
