Why I like mirrorless
This is Bumper, the ultimate bad boy with occasional mellow moments. The camera is the Fujifilm X-T1. He was in dim light, perched in front of a blank TV screen, with strong glare coming from a window behind him. No flash, no tripod. Handheld. Autofocused. A ridiculously inadequate speed of 1/17 sec., and a high ISO of 3200. And this is a JPEG straight out of the camera. My Canon 6D could not have done this. I've grown addicted to reading discussions by pros of the merits of the XT-1, with rip-roaring accusations hurled back and forth about being a "Fujiboy" or a "Nikonboy who can't accept change". But the best comment was the one where the guy simply said that the camera puts the joy back into taking a picture.
