Hi Everyone,
I'm not a wedding photographer, however I figure you all would be the best group to ask about this subject. I do a fair amount of documentary type shooting, frequently indoors and in lousy light. I currently shoot Canon, and I really do so because a) my 5d3 will focus in lousy light, and b) it's a mature system with a variety of options for speedlites and related accessories, and I feel like Canon will be there for me and these accessories will work, period.
I have to admit that I am really not pleased with the image quality I'm getting from Canon with my low light, non-speedlite/strobe, non-tripod work. I do a lot of black and white conversions with adjustments to luminance levels, and the Canon files are way behind my Fuji files as far as I'm concerned. (But I wouldn't shoot an important event with my Fuji for love or money at this point, just because of the focusing. But that's another issue.) My other issue is size; I'm over carrying the brick. All this brings me to my question:
I am considering trying a non-DSLR system in the next year or so, however my main concern is that I'll get what I want as far as size and files quality go, but I'm afraid I'll be seriously left in the dust with regard to speedlites and responsive performance in the kind of conditions in which you use speedlites. Do either Sony, Fuji or Olympus currently produce any flash units that can rival the functionality of Canon's best units? I'm not worried about studio because I can just use pocket wizards and call it a day. But I KNOW that if I use my Canon and a 580 that it'll focus and it'll get the job done, and I'm worried about giving up that ability. I'm basically wondering if the smaller manufacturers are producing any professional level speedlites.
Are any of you all shooting/lighting events on any of these non-DSLR systems? Any thoughts?
Thanks
