edit: just looked at the full sized IR images, there are blown highlights with xe-1 and the grey background is way brighter than the d800 shot. very different exposures. not really any conclusions to draw from that. in general i like the xe-1 shot better at 1600px and the d800 shot better at 100%. meh. i\'d find the a properly exposed and processed shot much more useful.
+1 @ the exposure variance ... but if that illustrates how the camera meters, then it does have some viability of useful information @ how it performs, hence the tendency to blow highlights (in native modes). Of course, EC would be no biggie to incorporate if it does tend to meter off a tad/tendency to blow highlights.

+1 ... I like to \"romp & stomp\" too and a non-FF, non-pack mule, gear approach has merit.
I\'ve just been trying to objectively understand what the tradeoffs involved are.
