A Reintroduction

Hi, just dropping in to reintroduce myself. I used to frequent this place more as a lurker than a regular poster but stopped when I traded my S1R in for a Fuji for weight reasons. I seem to have had a frustrating experience with the Fuji with lens failures etc and the images have just never seemed as good as those from the S1R. Over the last few days I’ve dug out my original S5 and 20-60 that I kept for reasons unknown and I don’t know if it’s just me the image quality seems to be a significant improvement on the XH2 despite (or maybe because of) the drop in megapixels. This long rambling post is really leading to the realisation that I’ll most likely be returning to L mount and the Fuji gear will be getting traded in.
Hopefully this time around I’ll try and be a little more active here :)

Welcome back!

Just an FYI in case you missed them: Panasonic released a firmware update for the S5 last October, and for the S20-60 lens last month. See:

Good to see you return!

If you wanted the Fuji for size/weight, I like having the Sigma fp as a smaller/lighter counterpart to my S5; that way you can share lenses, and I think the fp has great IQ in most situations; it's especially good in low light, and I probably use it in an 80/20 split with the S5.

(Megapixels aren't everything by any means; I prefer the greater light sensitivity, better high-ISO performance, and greater dynamic range from larger pixels.)
