Fuji S5Pro - worth keeping?...
Just found the PT site this evening and delighted to see it has a dedicated FF Forum.
For some unknown reason, when I first 'got into' photography it was with a lower end FF bridge camera, which stood me in good stead as a camera to learn on as it had the full range of modes and quite a few other bells and whistles as well.
Progressed through various subsequent bridge camera releases and at some point managed to bag myself a mint condition S5 Pro thinking that was the way to go. (Possibly. Back to this later...)
However, then FF brought out the XS1 bridge which I love so much that I've got two of them. I just love the fact that it's a decent all in one, easy to carry about, quality camera which produces damn good pics (well it does when I take them
)Anyway, back to the S5. Seems a waste never to have actually got around to using it! (Blame the XS1). At various times I've bought Nikon AF-S 35mm f1.8; Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 & Tamron 70-200 f2.8 lenses to use with it thinking yep, I'll give it a go, but they're all gathering dust. Well they're not really, because they're all still in the boxes they came in...
Was recently wondering whether to buy myself a Nikon D850 on the basis all the lenses could be used with that, then I put the brakes on my thoughts in that direction, thinking 'I'm not a pro-photographer - do I really need this?' And I think I was right to stop myself.
Then I found this site, so I'll throw it open to you other FF Forum members. What do you think? Even though it's old (no, very old - a bit like me I suppose) and the sensor resolution is low - I think its some sort of weird 'combined' pixel equivalent of 12 point something - is this necessarily a 'bad' thing?
I got into photography through my love of the image, and what thoughts/pleasure an arresting photograph can inspire. So really, its the image not the pixel count that truly matters, and if I'm happy with what I produce, then 12mp is still adequate to allow a decent print, right?
Over to you for thoughts, feedback, whatever. I'd be really interested to hear back from you.
Thanks
