goatsby Posted March 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Knowing I'm preaching to the choir, just wanted to say how much of an absolute joy the X Vario has been. On Sunday, my wife went into early labor and I grabbed the X Vario as the camera to use in case my daughter was born early. As it turns out, she was and the XV performed amazingly. The NICU where my newborn daughter currently resides is very lowly lit. The slow lens was not a problem and focus was spot on in all situations. Battery life was good, and unlike my M, it was nice to be able to hand off the camera to a nurse for the family photo. Also, the recently purchased FlashAir card made downloading and then emailing photos from the hospital through Photosync a cinch. The card is noticeably slower than my Sandisk Extreme, but the ability to download photos immediately was, in this instance, priceless. I sold the T to get the XV and have to say there are no regrets. The camera has been such a joy to use, and under the difficult circumstances of the past few days has proven its metal in one of the most important events in my life. It will be my trusty companion for many occasions to come! AG Welcome, dear visitor!
