OK so I’ve been shooting a lot more with the XT-1. I took it to the Reading Photographers and Models Social for starters, which is a very badly lit environment, and took some shots there. I wasn’t seriously trying to capture some great images, I was socialising, but here are a few shots..Shot in JPEG, which is still a little soft on the skin for my taste even with NR down to -2. But they are not too bad and the camera performed extremely well.
I’ve also been shooting with it in the studio. This is also a dimly lit environment when the strobes are off, but again the camera has been performing very well and I’ve not missed having my DSLR at all. Here are a few shots from the location shoots I’ve done ( the studio work has not been edited yet ).
There were a few focussing issues with the shots that were heavily backlit, but nothing drastic and I was with my brother who had a few issues on the DSLRS he was carrying too. He also had to carry gear that weighed twice as much as mine and the end results were not significantly different or better. In short, I feel totally confident in this camera and have sold all the DSLR kit now.
