During a family portrait session today using the excellent Canon 135mm f2L I experimented with the Fuji X10 to do a comparison
This is the Canon at f2.2 ISO 1600 jpeg
and this is the Fuji X10 – aperture priority – Velvia film mode zoomed into approx 112mm (35mm equivalent) at f2.8 – both in natural window light
Very impressive showing by the X10 versus one of the best portrait lenses on offer by Canon
x10 is good though.. showing vibrant colors as well. Dont know why canon is showing dull colors here.
But why use a Velvia simulation with a portrait? I would prefer less contrast, more continuous tones and less background noise using standard (Provia) simulation. But even so I believe the comparison being like between a Golf and a top German Merc or Audi is quite interesting and the small X10 gives very good results.
