Spent some time today tweaking a bunch of vacation photos. We had a nex-5, M9 and X2 with us.
There were a couple of things quite evident when doing so:
1) camera comparison was cruel. I felt sorry for the nex, it was so far behind that it wasn't even funny
2) using Apple Aperture, the raw converters default settings are crap. What's going on with the "boost" setting. It's almost like automagic way of blowing highlights.
3) the nex needs to go
the gap is just too much.. but what to get as replacement?? Wish someone would make the X2 with 24-90 VR and maybe movie. Leave the rest alone.. alas no such dream compact exists. Small camera, large sensor, midrange zoom, Leica simplicity and oh yea lens should be quite fast too..
4) I love my 90 elmarit-m
