Originally posted by DSims I'm not sure what lens(es) you were shooting with before, but certainly the 01 was the only one with top-quality IQ until the 06 and 08 came out.
wrong. i dont want to upset someone, but it is very important to look at your cameras inside before you mount a lens(hairs floating to the air etc.) and to have a look that the lenses front and rear elements are clean.
When i had my first Q i missed the point that those lenses are just so incy wincy tiny things, you leave thumbprints and such so easily on it.
And ... sidelight also often plays bad tricks on you, believe me... Use hoods, your results will look much better.
like this shot of my rusty raven in the garden... i made it with a Q-S1 with a Q02 Standard Zoom at 5mm...WIDE OPEN!!!
it its straight out of cam... i wouldnt call this a bad shot.(yeah i maybe should have used a corrected flash to lighten up the raven a bit but i like atmospheric images...)
look:
