Shutter experiments and then some...

(using one of the fun scene settings on the X500 called the 'Sketch Mode')

(shutter priority test at night)

taken by my wife, while I was staring into nothingness

(using the X500's panoramic shot mode)

But using the X500 at night, in the dork, shows the X500's weakness when it comes to low light level photography. Up close, these pictures are pixelized with color dithering in dark areas. Indicating that the sensor is overcompensating for light.
