Peter H Posted September 4, 2013 Share #22 Posted September 4, 2013 Regarding multiple focus points, in the old days of lugging DSLRs around I used to find that continuously having to select the focus point from a choice of about 51 (the same point was rarely appropriate for more than a couple of consecutive shots before it needed moving) a slower and much more irritating experience than focussing and recomposing, so I used to select the single central-focus-point option anyway.

Me too, but because the external points were not cross type and focusing was usually off. So a focus recompose with the central cross type was actually still more accurate. These days though, with the 1DX and 5D3 the outer points are extremely sensitive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou Posted September 4, 2013 Share #24 Posted September 4, 2013 Maybe for the existing customer base - but with this camera they are looking into other markets, and I predict this is a very good product for that purpose and a platform for future developments. I wish you will prove right in future, anyway i did not buy one i could get today though i have many, many, wonderful R lenses that i intend to keep and use now on film. The EVF is not yet up to the task, refresh rate will stay as it is before a future eventual improvement and the adapter is nowhere. I have already an M9 and though i like better the shutter and some features of the M i could not justify this buy to myself, now. For video users i do not see yet what this camera will give that you do not find already in mature products. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 4, 2013 Share #25 Posted September 4, 2013 I won't say the EVF is brilliant, but I find it adequate with my R lenses, it is an auxiliary system anyway. The image quality of the R lenses is brilliant on the camera - my DMR is getting dusty.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanetomlane Posted September 7, 2013 Share #26 Posted September 7, 2013 I enjoyed reading the review, the only problem is that it's likely to cost me a couple of grand. One of his other reviews was a comparison between the 50 Summicron and a 50 Zeiss. In conclusion he mentioned that neither of these lenses is a patch on the 50 Summilux. I've been thinking of upgrading to the 'lux for some time and this review has more or less convinced me. I'm in Seattle at the moment and so I'm off to Glazers (the local dealer) to hopefully do a deal. Cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
