The more I use this camera the more I’m finding similarities to shooting medium format film. Huge file sizes yes. Slow write times yes but using this camera requires a different mind-set compared to most other digital cameras I’ve used. Forget the ‘machine gun’ approach and consider this camera as a medium format camera where speed is not a major concern as this camera is about slowing down and thinking. The rewards are more image definition than you will know what to do with! Certainly at ISOs less than 400 this camera (if used within its limitations) and if used with care easily rivals other cameras costing many thousands more.
