The 100S ain't an action camera. I have one, I would not bother with people walking with it. theredkni463 wrote: SGinNorcal wrote: theredkni463 wrote:
thank you all for your advice. I am noticing that people are either recommending the 100mp over the 50mp version or have had regrets about it. is it really worth spending about an extra 1k for that version? I recently bought an SL2-S for general photoshoots and wanted to get a medium format for landscape and cityscapes.
I guess that depends on how you feel about that $1k. The 50SII has stabilization but not phase detect AF (only contrast detect). I felt that the 100S AF is only marginally better in good light but AF is not strength of anybody's Medium Format so marginally better is a step in the right direction. The extra resolution is nice for cropping and digital "zooming" is pretty effective on the 100Mp sensor. But in side by side identical photos without cropping or pixel peeping its going to be difficult to impossible to tell apart. I resold my 50S for within a couple hundred of what I paid for it used after the 100SII came out and values dropped on the 100S.
I mean i could save up a bit more to get the 100S if it does indeed have the phase detection. my SL2-S does not and it sometimes does have trouble with autofocus in darker areas but I do not shoot fast moving subjects. the fastest moving subject is probably maybe fashion runway shots so it should be okay. I assume the 100S will outperform the SL2-S even. other from that, how is the lens selection like on the GFX systems? I do own a X-pro 2 and do have X lenses but dont know much about any third part GFX lenses.
I’ll disagree with you here, or perhaps you were exaggerating to make a point? While the GFX 100s wasn’t what I’d call a great action camera, with the 45-100 mounted it easily tracked my grandkids running around the yard or park.
