Skiing with the XT5 & 16-80
5

I just spent two days on a ski resort near my home town and the XT5 proved great for shooting my friends and even better in their hands (who have no idea of using a camera apart from their mobiles)!

Not such a hard slope...

Weather was not great.. That was one of the few moments we saw the blue sky on the mountain

The 16-80 along with the 40mp proved great for shooting action as long as people were relatively close

There is plenty of resolution to crop even more...

While I was shooting them steady, my friend being much better than me could follow me and even go faster than me with the camera just pointing at me and shooting (wide tracking, CL burst)

The XT5 worked great in terms of CAF with many keepers and files had plenty of DR to reduce highlights.
