 p.10 #6 · My Fuji XE-1 outperforms my D800...... | |
I must say, I am angered by the title of the thread. A lot of people come here looking for opinions and threads that may make a difference in purchases costing them hundreds of dollars. So when someone reads his titleand gets exdcited that they may be about to read a thread that could have a big impact on a purchase decision, only to open it to read, "OH, hey, I didn't even use one of these cameras and i was just joking", that can feel like a slap in the face. In other words, THAT'S NOT FUNNY OR COOL to mislead people to come in to a thread when to them what they are looking for is very meaningful and important stuff that will help them decide to spend hundreds of dollars. Maybe I should start a thread saying "Found the Canon 5D3, new for $1,700 at... So they can get excited, open the thread and see, "ha, just joking." That would not be funny or a joke to me.
Secondly, your argument doesn't really hold up because if weight is the main factor then an 8 mp cell phone would be a drop in quality, sure, but the MASSIVE, HUGE difference in portability would surely outweigh the IQ difference. I mean, you can take an 8mp phone and actually have it in your PANTS pocket, and I mean EVEN WHILE YOU ARE SITTING AT A TABLE you can still have it in your pants pocket, and no one even thinks twice about seeing someone fiddling with their phone. So a cell phone would be FAR MORE convenient with FAR LESS weight and would be MUCH MORE enjoyable and quick for snaps than the X-E1, so why weren't you using one of those? So if your argument holds then you were still not using the best bang for your buck if portability compared to IQ is what you are after.
And last, I would always want my precious memories in the best IQ my money can afford and NO WAY would I ever let a couple extra pounds interfere with my pics that will bring back memories for a life time. You state they were only snaps, then go on to tell us you hadn't been alone with your wonderful wife for years together and how much you enjoyed that. To me that would make the snaps MORE IMPORTANT to me and my personal life, NOT LESS important. I ALWAYS want the best iq my money can afford AT ALL TIMES, especially shots of precious moments with loved ones
I'll end by saying, nice pics,, but I am left wanting because I sure wish I could have seen these pics taken with the great dynamic range of the D800. What a shame that I can't see shots from your vacation with the D800, oh well, guess I'll be left wondering how great they would have looked.
