Mike did you manage to test the Sony EVF in low light with fast movement?

A bit late in on this but needless to say I also think the D810 must be the right choice for you Eric!

Having said that since I am no longer a working professional I find my little Sony RX10 is light and with me most of the time and produces images well up to scratch in terms of an exhibition quality A3 print in the monthly print comp at the local camera club. Yesterday the RPS DI group selected an image from same Sony for this years major print exhibition and rejected 2 others shot on my D810. Nothing to do with quality but all about content.

Was in the 46th floor of the Hilton overlooking a partly frozen Niagra Falls.

Were no problems noted except dirty windows.

The fastest movement was money flowing from wallets into the casino slot machines. :lol:

Seriously the Sony a7S preformed well and some of the aps gave results that are next to impossible with most cameras.

You can download and install aps for various functions (timelapse) just like on a tablet or smartphone.

Lets the user customize the camera without having all kinds of stuff cloging up the minues with things you'll never need.

I agree with Tom that the XPro1 has the best 'feel' but it is lacking some of the more advanced features found in the XE2 and XT1.

Maybe the XPro2 will be an XT1 in an XPro1 body but for me the only real problem with the Fujis is the AF performance and the EVF performance in low light with fast action.
The OVF is not something I use very much.


Agree on focus, but x100T is pretty close to perfect.

OVF is how you see the VR in color :-). I have my EVF set to BW

Got to say that Sony produce some very nice kit but it has a very short lifetime as they make models redundant all the time rather than improving a current model, unlike Fuji.  I prefer the Fuji method but I do wish for faster release of lenses and a 24MP camera with fast Af performance.


I love my X100.  I wish I could justify a X100T to myself.
Unfortunately I am just about to splash on a RV/motorhome/camper van.

How many tanks of fuel will a motorhome get for the price of an X100T? :lol:

5000km would take me to Vancover BC and the ocean, but then there is the return trip.

No go south it is warmer. Follow the coast to San Francisco.
:offtopic2:

I dont think we are helping Eric in his choice!

I really cant decide if the D7100 is the D400 in disguise.
If I was to purchase a new Nikon I would be hard pressed to choose one but the D7100 is currently the DX flagship but in the FX cameras the choice is more difficult.
I think the D4S is large and heavy but well built. The D810 is a good camera but too many MP. The D750 may be the sweetspot FX camera but I havent seen one and the D610 seems to be similar but lacking some of the advanced features so it looks like the D750 is the best option.
It really is horse for courses!
