*OFFICIAL* Snapshot of the Day (one image per post please) #2

NEFARIOUS · 03-07-2015, 12:16 AM

I was bored then since the fog was too thick to see anything, and I'm bored enough to now showcase some of my old stuff (as in, back when I actually had a decent camera on hand).

I should never have "dropped by" the camera store the same day my tax refund came back

Nice, Ed. I keep thinking about it. But I've seen too many folks buy them and then turn around and sell them after a few months. It's got me thinking twice. That's why I went with the SL1. Not much larger and no need to invest in a new line of lenses. Still, that EVF in the X-T1 with the split view and zoom to focus is intriguing.

It's a handsome piece.

I went back and forth in my head many times. I had the Sony A7II and the Fuji next to each other on the counter for about an hour. Logically, the Sony is the better camera with more DR and a larger sensor, but the Fuji just looks better, handles better, and the EVF in my opinion is nicer. It is a nice little package, that is replacing my NEX 6 that I will be selling. I don't plan to go nuts in the lens department. The kit lens, another zoom and a prime is about all I envision, and I hope to get all of those used.

Looks great. Did you shoot Raw, or in-camera jpeg?

Itsed65 · 03-07-2015, 10:18 PM

That's a RAW, but I haven't really delved into any of the in camera settings yet. I've got a faster prime on the way soon.

It's showing lots of dynamic range and great colors.

M_Six · 03-07-2015, 10:44 PM

Yeah, very nice shot. Great 3D effect.

I can see where California winters wouldn't be hard to bear. I take it that's a one-way road?
