Guest DrPix Posted March 1, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted March 1, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Pics are taken during my last visit to Lanzarote (January 2014). X Vario turns out to be a perfect "travel-companion", not too heavy to carry, quiet in action and delivering top quality even in "point-n-shoot" mode. Some photogs experience difficulty with AF (both speed and blurry shots) - not a single problem for me after over 2000 shots; guess I am "lucky". Enjoy!

wda Posted March 1, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted March 1, 2014 Couldn't agree more with your conclusion about focus and quality. I'll come back to focus in a moment. But first I enjoyed your short photo-essay on the zoo with its superb photography and composition. The moment captured between sea-lion and keeper is magnificent. Quick reaction of both you and the camera. Â A word on focusing. I rarely get a mis-focus and when I do it is immediately noticed and remedied. Just five minutes ago I was in my garden amazed to find a new daphne, rescued from the discard bench at a nursery, had flowered for the first time, despite an extremely wet winter; just a few tiny florets on a bare stem. Now that was a challenge for any AF. My usual 1-point focusing failed, despite repositioning for a second attempt. I immediately switched to Spot focus and it locked onto the tiny flower first time and the following three shots were spot-on. The lesson is clear. Recognise potential problem subjects and adjust your procedure accordingly. They are few in number in practice. I thought this example might be helpful for those worried about misleading reports about focusing failure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XVarior Posted March 1, 2014 Share #3 Â Posted March 1, 2014 Superb. again seen for the second time I really enjoyed this spzoo show. David, you did the right thing adjusting the camera AF setting to cope with the target. This is why those different settings exist in the first place, no maki use of them would be a huge waste of possibilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Mungar Posted March 14, 2014 Share #5 Â Posted March 14, 2014 I agree that the composition is excellent. I am impressed with the detail and image quality. Thanks for posting. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted March 14, 2014 Share #6 Â Posted March 14, 2014 A fine instrument that may very well be a fine substitute for the M cameras at half the cost. Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 16, 2014 Share #7 Â Posted March 16, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dr. Pix - Â These are lovely photos, but too few of us will see them since many of us will not click through without incentive to do so. In the future I most strongly urge you to place one or two images directly on the Forum to lure us into clicking through to see the rest of the images..
