The sky is a bit overblown but I still like this shot.

I've been looking into mirrorless systemcameras lately to maybe replace my trusty RX100.
Finding a decent model for $800 really isn't that easy.

It doesn't look like overblown to me. Nicely done.

There isn't much around my city to shoot, but I went downtown to see what I could do. I also started experimenting with Lightroom, so excuse the overblown processing in some of the pics:

I REALLY like that first one nice leading lines.

Shoot in RAW if you can (why not) and you always have some rooms for non-destructive recovery for things like overblown.

100% agreed.  I always shoot in RAW unless I need super-fast write speeds.

Thanks!
Yeah not exactly overblown, but I'm not really happy with the clouds...nevermind.

Just like I do.
I also use JPEG for black and white shots and HDR shenanigans.


Hmmm the Sony NEX-6 looks really tempting....

My favorite camera that I own right now is the FujI X100S.  One of the coolest features is the ability to do in-camera processing.  I can shoot in RAW and convert an image to one of Fuji's amazing filters while still preserving the RAW image.  There are B&W Y/G/B filters, plus a ton of proprietary Fuji film-simualtion filters like Velvia.  It's such a fun toy.

That is one of the reason I keep thinking about getting the X100s.

I have about $4,000 tied up in Micro 4/3 gear that I haven't used at all since I got the X100S.  It's the most fun I've had shooting in a very long time.

Anybody into the mirrorless m4/3 Panasonic GH series here?

 

[SoulSyde]

I've been an Olympus shooter, but I really like the video capabilities of the Panny gear.

 

[jonyoo]

Just briefly took a look at your inventory. Very jealous of the Voigtlander you have there Have always wanted to get my hands on one. How does it work out for you on your Olympus?

 

[SoulSyde]

It's amazing.  I LOVE that lens, it's the reason I got into the 4/3 system to begin with.  It's practically a macro lens with how close it will focus.  The bokeh is simply sublime.  
 
On the OM-D, it's brilliant on Aperture priority for street/vacation shooting.  If you're more of a manual shooter like me you would love the focus and aperture control on the lens - like back in the stone ages.
 
The build quality is on par with Leica.  I can't say enough how much I love that lens.

Here's an example of the bokeh shot wide-open on the OM-D:
