I experimented with compact mirrorless cameras on May 31, 2014, during a visit to Charlotte, North Carolina,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My trusty Lumix LX3 had failed a few weeks earlier, and I was seeking a suitable replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this trip photographer Pat Yough let me try out his FujiFilm XE-2. While my father had lent me his Lumix LX7, (a model that was an upgraded variation on the older LX3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these images using the Lumix LX7 which photographing the Lynx light rail system south of downtown Charlotte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately,not onlydid I buy a Lumix LX7, but after continued experimentation with the Fuji system, I also bought a Fuji XT1, which served me well for a number of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve found that it really helps to experiement with different camera systems to put them through their paces BEFORE drawing firm conclusions or making a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are three variations of the same image. The first is a scaled version of the in-camera JPG (scaled for internet presention, not cropped); the other two are interpretations from the camera RAW using Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
