I just spent a warm and brilliant day shooting outside of my car
I know shock and amazement right?
Anyway several thing impressed them selves on me.
1-I HAVE to have an eye level finder in bright Sun. It really doesn't matter if its an OVF or EVF.
Unlike shooting from a Car or in a Bar, the LCD thing simply doesn't work.
I knew this already which is why my CV 28mm brightline finder is always with me and now lives on my GRD.
Today was just extra bright and the Sun was low and LCD were Unuseable.
2-Shutter lag has to be as short as possible. My otherwise adimarable Samsung L85 has it bad, esp at longer EFL. Even with a half-press tolock prefocus. Slow enough that I have some unintentional shots of my toes! Slow enough that a Racing Shell moved out of frame before the shutter fired.
Great for stationary shots, not much else
My Fuji S6000 (32 RAW shots; trying to post process now) and my GRD (jpeg, 40 shots) worked a charm. Sadly, for the Rowboat shot the Fuji was in the trunk of my car
If the G-10 has terrible lag, it simply will not do.
(Simon, does the DP-1 have lag at all?Too tired and irritated to look it up )
If the G-10 has lag like that its a non-started, leaving only the Fuji S100fs, the K200d ( and trust to dust sealing and cleaning system to keep it at least manageable).
Just sayin'
