[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 560921, member: 12855"] So I got tickets to Firefly music festival (and either I'll take a date with me who much needs a getaway or sell it off last-minute) and decided to go and experience with the rest of my friends under the same hookup. That created a problem - 3-4 days of party without a camera, since they strictly say DSLR/interchangeable lens rigs are NOT allowed and I know these guys do enforce that (nor do my DJ friend playing have any leverage on sneaking me in safely with my gear) I figured to hunt me down a decent low-light for the price ML, a pancake lens for it, and play it off as a POS'ish camera to get in with. A6000 was my choice, but after doing proper HW on Fuji, XP1 definitely peaked my interest with price point, first-party AF lens quality, and being a hybrid RF that I've always wanted to properly try. Found a nice condition used body w/ 3 batteries for 300 and decided to go ahead with it. Now I gotta hunt me a deal on the pancake, or a MF vintage solution that would pass for a built-in piece like the X100. I have considered AW1 to be able to play underwater and whatnot, but IQ and high ISO wise, CX is no match for effectively a pro-level DX that XP1 is. The next goal for this motion was to get a cam that can easily adapt most vintage lenses so I can start playing with oldies and that fuzzy style bokeh and soap bubbles and whatnot that our Nikons simply suck at adapting due to the mount>sensor distance.
