Abroad with the MX-1

This year I've found just taking and using the MX-1 abroad quite liberating. Leaving aside its few little operational annoyances, the results, after processing, have proved quite good enough to meet my modest requirements. I'm not sure folks will take me seriously as a photographer any more now my DSLRs collect dust in the loft...

Below are a few from a recent trip to Menorca. I hope you like them. It's a good place to visit.

Smashing set Andrew , the curvy gate is lovely ...you make that MX-1 earn it's keep ...jeff....

Very nice Andrew. A nice set.

The low viewpoint of the bike is brilliant. Love the coastal view that follows it as well. Those are my highlights from this nice set of images.

Excellent work, great images - all of them. A compact camera with a high quality zoom lens seems like the perfect travel companion.

Excellent shots, a great set I like them all. And the image quality is superb too!

Is there nowhere you can not find rust Andrew?

Very nice set - especially the bike.

No DSLR being used ? Just proves the photographer is the most important component

6, 9 and 13 could easily be desktop backgrounds! But I wouldn't be surprised if that whole set was in a gallery. Very good set, which I'd very proud of

Lovely fresh feeling travel photography Andrew .... It induces a 'wish we were there' sense. I like all of your framings and foregrounds, it's a great exploration. Clearly you're not being weighed down or held back in any way by the compact nature of your camera !

Perhaps you won't need to start saving up for the full frame after all ....

Nice set the camera has done you proud as well.

Superb quality and variety (as always ) - I was very tempted to get one just before a trip to the Lakes earlier this week, but my biggest concern is how big images from the smallish sensor cope. I love my Q, but i'd struggle to get a half decent A3 from it - do you think the MX-1 would cope?

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. They are much appreciated.


I love my little camera, Lenny and find the quality good enough for my purposes; that is to say, exclusively uncropped on the computer screen.

I haven't made a print of any kind this century, so I'm not the best person to ask, but I'd be amazed if that tiny sensor could produce an acceptable large print. I sense this because when I'm working in RAW, processing the files at 100%, things look a bit blotchy. You might manage A4 but A3...

They might mock your rust Andrew but I really like the hoop over the wooden gate - simple and effective

It doesn't matter what camera you used Andrew, this is a super panel of pictures which would look good on an exhibition wall. I'd be surprised if you couldn't get decent A3 prints from these.
