Get mine tomorrow http://www.seriouscompacts.com/f111/children-normal-light-indoors-rx1-get-mine-tomorrow-19475/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:19:38 GMT I am a semi-professional photographer and am set to receive the rx-1 tomorrow via fedex. Right now for snaps around the house i've been using the original canon 5d + 35L 1.4 lens. When I saw sony come out with a FF compact camera, it took me about 2 days to order it.

I've read over and over that this camera hunts in low light. And my main question is, how "low" is low-light in reference to this camera. Like a dark bar? Or like a room with the blinds closed with soft light shining through.

Can't wait to get it tomorrow and find out for myself, but i'd like some answers or something to read to make these hours stop feeling like years. ]]> Sony RX1 Forum Andrew Rasmussen http://www.seriouscompacts.com/f111/children-normal-light-indoors-rx1-get-mine-tomorrow-19475/ Olympus OM-1 50mm F1.4 28mm F3.5 35mm F2.8 80-200 F4.5 Zuiko MFT Sony NEX http://www.seriouscompacts.com/f79/olympus-om-1-50mm-f1-4-28mm-f3-5-35mm-f2-8-80-200-f4-5-zuiko-mft-sony-nex-19474/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:50:42 GMT

She is the official "photographer", for family get together. We've been on a quest for the perfect combination, of compact, capable, and novice user friendly. Something to carry in the purse, always there and ready for events such as the birth of great niece this week. It was at the ready, and presto the family (that in the rush and drama, forgot to bring a camera) had pictures. Aunt Dollie to the rescue! This small, capable, little picture taker, never disappoints (her). And that makes me very happy. :smile:

And in case you missed the details, Oly 14-42mm IIr on the Pana GF5. Unlikely match. But the Pana 14-42mm is now on my E-p3. Works for us.

]]> Nature bilzmale http://www.seriouscompacts.com/f20/asian-blooms-19468/ Considering switching systems... http://www.seriouscompacts.com/f2/considering-switching-systems-19467/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:58:12 GMT I currently shoot with a Sony NEX 5 that has served me pretty well over the last few years.

I've been using a mixture of the Sigma 30mm 2.8 and some legacy primes.

The things I'm struggling with with my NEX currently: NO VIEWFINDER has been brutal. Slow AF slow startup. Lens selection (really need a fast normal lens and maybe a cheaper long zoom for vacation shots)

The other day I stopped in a camera shop and played with the OMD and was FLOORED by the AF speed.

My question to you guys is, would I regret the change to a smaller sensor? Have any of you switched from APS-c to m43? How was the transition?

Thanks! ]]> Micro Four Thirds Forum huggernaut http://www.seriouscompacts.com/f2/considering-switching-systems-19467/ Samsung NX 45mm F/1.8 Lens http://www.seriouscompacts.com/f79/samsung-nx-45mm-f-1-8-lens-19466/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 08:50:48 GMT
