Yeah. I think a lot of people focus too much on those "high end" specs and too little about small, practical, quality of life things.
I remember how I instantly liked Fuji X100 for its built in ND filter. Yes, you can screw a filter on by yourself. Then you suddenly find yourself on a sunny beach and you wish you had your photo bag with you.
Not saying global shutter isn't nice feature, but that 250 base ISO can be a bit of a hassle depending on what kind of photography you do just like not everybody is going to benefit from the new shutter.
- ISL 3y agoThe faster available shutter speeds will compensate for the faster base ISO except where the superior dynamic range of a lower ISO is needed or when a longer shutter speed is simultaneously desired.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoWell to be fair if the base ISO is 250, even the typical 1/8000 will be enough for most purposes except maybe f/1.2 in sunlight....
- onetimeuse92304 3y agoTrue that, unless you also want slower shutter speed for some reason. But that's pretty rare.

- PaulHoule 3y agoNever could get why people liked ND filters until I got a 50mm f/0.95 lens for which exposures are scary short close to sunset...
- bearmode 3y agoThey're pretty essential for any situation where you can't just stop down the exposure in the camera. If you want a long exposure shot of some crashing waves on a bright day for instance, you might not be able to just increase the shutter speed or narrow the aperture without ruining the intended photo.
- onetimeuse92304 3y agoI personally like to make dreamy photos wide open with relatively long shutter to accentuate movement. Some of it in full sunlight. Yes, ND filter is essential then.
- nayuki 3y agoIt's not essential. You can take hundreds of short-exposure photos and blend them in software.
