When it comes to the mantra of ... just go shoot and get in the moment, part of that is having confidence in your equipment. Understanding the limitations of your equipment is part of establishing that confidence.
Nobody is suggesting that you should have stopped and metered an impromptu moment. It\'s just an objective observation of how the camera handled that particular situation. That\'s it ... nothing more, nothing less. I\'m actually looking for something a bit more liberating than my FF technical approach has allowed for, but I realize that I\'ll have to make some compromises to accommodate that. What/where/how much accommodation will fit into my style and comfort zone ... well, that\'s highly variable and personalized to each of us.
I appreciate the aspect that not every great image is technically perfect ... go figure, I\'d have never thunk it. But if I\'m gonna commit to $$$ for a platform change/addition ... I think it is prudent to be cognizant and understanding of what you are and/or aren\'t getting yourself into, so that you have realistic expectations.
Again, thanks for sharing the real world images ... it looks like you had a good time on vacation.
