Had a walk with my wife in the woods here in Connecticut
Took some handholding shots and I must say that the quality of the files are incredible!!!
My IQ reference are the Canon 5DsR with the two Outs lenses (55 +85) and the Pentax 645z (with 55mm,75, 150mm)
In my humble opinion the X1D IQ is vastly superior to the Canon and despite sharing the same sensor I find it to be superior to the Pentax too (color tonality is better and the lenses I had dint reach this this kind of performance)
What I also really love is the size !!!! unbelievable !!!!! :bugeyes::bugeyes::bugeyes::clap::clap::clap:
While the AF is slow, I find that its more accurate then the one of the 645Z, which was often pretty off when shooting wide open and using the off center AF points
At the end I have only 3 major issues that I believe can or will be fixed with Firmware update
- Smaller AF points, for more precise focusing (which I was told is coming)
- Minimum shutter speed option (Hope its coming too)
- Intervalometer (I can't believe it was not implemented!!! and I really hope it will be )
I am going to place an order for the 30mm and I hope the 65mm will be at list 2.8 :angel:
This is a fantastic camera, with outstanding IQ packed oin a super small package
A real dream!
Cheers
