-rsolti13 (Ryan?), very nice set with the statues, facade and daisy!
-Bob, beautiful sets (esp. the first post) from Yosemite! Well composed and great colors and clarity. We were there about ten years ago and really liked it.
-Sean, that is stunning, almost surreal.
Another from a walk around home (the halos above the mountains are there in the original too, because the rays lit them up from behind):

Gregg - number 2 is priceless!...Thank you Bob! Both my boys are little nudists! Giovanni, especially, as he likes to wear just his cap, glasses, and sandals!!
Gregg, I like the portrait of the man....Thank you Jochenb, that is my father-in-law.
Gregg, the B/W you posted is exactly why I bought this camera. Love the look I have been seeing...the handling of the midtones...Thank you Ryan...I agree! I adjusted in the in camera contrast, sharpness, and ??, by 1 notch each, and those were the results. It rivals what I can get out of Silver Efex2!
@HelenaN...I do love ALL of your shots from prvious pages, especially the macro-frog! It's beautiful! The parade shot above is also fantastic...shows a lot of culture, of which we here in the U.S. have left behind!!
@Ryan...I really like both fountain shots, although the second seems a little too blue for me. The macro daisy is awesome! Talk about detail...
@Bob...Love your Yosemite shots, again! We go there several times a year, as my dad has a second house an hour away from the Valley. But, having 2 little ones really prohibits me from going out and taking such exemplary shots!!! Last time there when my wife was pregnant I got a few shots with my now gone ZE 35 1.4...but that's it.
Anyone have input on using .jpg vs raw for the RX1?? I find the .jpgs really nice, but I prefer shooting raw...

Gregg - I haven't compared much between jpg and raw probably because I assume shooting raw is always worth the extra processing. The interesting place to try might be B&W jpgs through the RX1. I find the rendering straight from the camera to be quite compelling.

Thanks Phil - I think B&W is a huge strength of this camera...couldn't agree more!!
A few more images taken yesterday and today. I've got under 2 weeks with the camera, so I'm trying to make the best with it! Fortunately, it's so small, it's easy to carry around, always!

Nice shots Ryan.
I have to admit, though, as much as I'm liking the camera, it does have a weak spot! Shooting in bright daylight hours is hard on the camera! I'm not sure if it's me, but the 1/2000th top shutter speed, even at iso 50, makes these(bright daylight) shots trying. Having a 6yr and 1 1/2 yrs old boys limits my photography to these times(at least while I'm out!).
Is it possible to get a faster shutter speed??

I've been really enjoying my RX1 as the image quality is just incredible for any camera. However, I have a dust spot on my sensor in the upper left portion of the frame . . . right where the sky would be. Today, I sent it to Sony's repair center presumably under warranty. We will see how they respond. Of course, I had to pay for the shipping to get it there and make sure I had the camera insured. It will arrive in Laredo, TX Thursday. I'm hoping for a quick turnaround . . .
