All done with a broken camera by adjusting the speed manually and looking the histogram, and then tiding up in Lightroom afterwards.
Some of my friends who didn't know photography was my hobby were very complimentary afterwards. If only I had that D3s battery :dumb:
But back on topic - the reason for posting these is I guess you can get by without a DSLR but I know I would have done a lot better with one and maybe taken some real gems.
When taking these images with the X100 I had to really try and anticipate the shot ahead of time, allow for the relatively slow camera and then it took ages for the viewer to come back to real time. Not a problem for the portraits, but it made the actual boxing shots very hard indeed, I would have got many more keepers of probably a far higher quality with the D3s. I know this is stating the obvious - but I am not by any means a sports shooter but it is very nice to have a camera that can do this when you want (assuming you don't leave the battery at home).
