My question is.... is it worth parting from a Canon 5D classic with Sigma 50mm f1.4 for?
I'm looking to change for somthing that I will enjoy shooting with and isn't threatening.
Been looking at the OM-D as well. An M8 would be nice but it's far to much!
depends on how are you approaching this question. from IQ you might loose out a bit , especially with DoF **** I think is overrated anyway.
what you gain is - portability which is - well, obvious when you compare the two. the x100 might be more useable beyond iso800 too I think. at least the new small camera systems are better there then the old pro/semi pro dslr's .
om-d m5 - looks like it's going to be a killer ! I'm so looking forward first real test and nice price drops
actually om-d might be the only camera you'll ever need unless for sports etc.
but you do get the same DoF with 25mm f0.95 as the f1.4 on FF
I can get less DoF with the 25mm f0.95 on MFT because it's a wide aperture and that lens will focus closer than a 50mm f1.4 will on full frame. Wide aperture + close focus = very shallow DoF
35mm f1.4 on APS-C will get you much closer to the look of a 50mm f1.4 on full frame at extreme aperture than a 23mm f2 will.
Glad to explain this one to you
The X Pro 1 does look nice, also has a nice price.
The price of it comes very close to an M8
If you're talking apertures you'll need an ever wider aperture as you use ever wider focal lengths to get the shallow look, if that's what you want. Or you could reduce your camera to subject distance but with wide angle lenses that can get you a different but still interesting image
FoV is no illusion, it's pretty much the same but there's more to the look of an image than FoV and from using APS-C at 20 and 30mm and full frame at 50mm I can say that all have their charms but as the OP has a 5D+50mm f1.4 I thought the X Pro 1 + 35mm f1.4 option was worth mentioning as it'll give a more similar look without having to change shooting distances and styles.
True but I imagine it it better-specified and with more up to date technology than an M8.
I was thinking earlier that one could get a 5D2 with the asking price of a X Pro 1, nice as it is.
Wheres the best place to get one of these at the moment?..Cheapest I can find it for is £699
Thanks mate but they dont have the best reputation..
lol not sold on x10 yet the x100 keeps dragging me back!..Whats the voucher code?..tried one it didnt work and at 660 rather pay 40 quid more for brand new.Are the refurbs ones that have had the sticky blade problem and repaired?
Thanks chris..thought the two year and platinum service came with all new ones regardless where you buy as long as its an authorised dealer.
Stuart have you gone and tried out both cameras?
My own conclusion having tried both was that:
- the X10 wasn't much smaller than the X100 so the size argument of getting a 'compact' camera went out the window.
-the VF of the X10 wasn't what I was expecting and I found it disappointing.
Its a tough call..i could get an ipad 3 and an x10 for the price of an x100 and case lol!!
