jaapv Posted March 31, 2012 Share #21 Posted March 31, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Essentially we are saying the same thing - if you need 3200 ISO, that is it - you need Leica to make a camera with effortless high ISO performance, presupposing you are looking at a Leica gear set. And the LCD is neither here nor there, as long as it works (but it would be nice if it were better) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlorianM Posted April 3, 2012 Share #23 Posted April 3, 2012 Waiting as well. I'm just an amateur though, and I like new toys that and I'm a little spoiled taking pictures in the dark with the X100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiver Posted April 4, 2012 Share #24 Posted April 4, 2012 I did consider the x pro 1 but not sure the lack of full frame sensor is a good plan for me. I need at least a clean ISO at 3200 and shutter speeds of at least 1/100 which is tricky with the M9.. No matter how fast the lens is. I have to say that the X-Pro 1 high ISO took me completely by surprise. I took a series of test photos in the shop, both indoors and outdoors, at f1.4. It seemed odd that the shutter speeds were really high but I didn't think much of it until I got home. Then I was shocked to see what I thought was a ISO 400 or lower image was actually ISO 3200! It was that clean and good! If you are after a clean ISO 3200, the X-Pro 1 will deliver. On the other hand, I am putting off the X-Pro 1 for a number of reasons, one of them being the upcoming Leica EVIL. Leica will have to pull something really good out of the bag in order to compete with the X-Pro 1 image quality, but I am happy to wait and see.

jaques Posted April 4, 2012 Share #25 Posted April 4, 2012 For me higher ISO is a very desirable capability for a camera: shooting stage work (for instance) wide open at a low shutter speeds is not much fun if you are trying to freeze fast movement and get a sharp image with a decent DOF. Being able to crank the ISO up- use a fast shutter speed and medium aperture is a revelation in these conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
