Dynamic range
Images: The huge zoom range of the X-S1’s lens makes it very versatile
With a sensor that is larger than that of a typical bridge camera, the X-S1 has a better dynamic range than its competitors.
However, the sensor is still relatively small when compared to a DSLR unit, so although it has a little more detail in shadow areas and the highlights don’t blow out quite as soon as they might on a compact, the X-S1 doesn’t have the dynamic range to match a DSLR, particularly as the ISO sensitivity increases.
In the main, the dynamic range of the X-S1 is very good, particularly if it is combined with careful exposure control.
