I just think you are being picky. I just have no idea what you expect from a camera like the X5. It takes great stills. My Mark 3 takes great stills. What do you need better for?That second image is quite something!
they're completely different shots. you've obviously done a lot more work on the sunset than the mid-day picture.
as for differences, there's a lot more in the shadows to be saved in the second file, along with a pile more detail, and a hell of a lot less chromatic aberration (the tents in the first photo are still annoying me).
also, there's a very high level of distortion in the first image, I don't think you are ever going to get those buildings straight and horizen level! I did a little bit of messing with it just to see what kind of stuff you
can do with it, and I know it's only a low-quality file, id be very interested to see the raw version.
That being said, there's a lot you can do with that photo still. It's very useable. If that was in low light I'd imagine it would be a different story.
On the point of upgrading the camera, I guess that's half the point, is the x5 worth buying when the x5r isn't that far away from it?
the interchangeable lens' would be a bigger reason to buy for me than the ability to change the camera. At the present rate I'd imagine
that there'll be a new inspire out long before there's a new camera to mount on the existing one.
