The D800 is a very dangerous camera because my sonny does video, and he's very interested in my interest in the camera. I suspect he's haking my computer to see if I have placed a preorder. I'm...

I would not be so sure that Nex mount is compatible with full frame, in mount size and flange distance respects. I think it would require lenses design so telecentric that even a supposed pancake...

Sorry, Angenieux has been out of business for many years, and Cooke is specialized in cine lenses, which have different characters, needs and design priorities than photo lenses. Sony could...

As soon as the D800 is delivered, a good lot of used D700s will be on the market. Go and buy one. It's still a very capable camera, and will be for a long time. We have seen how a full frame...

Most Carl Zeiss wides will be ok. All Nikon and Zeiss macros. The good old 80-200 2.8, if not abused. My 28mm/2,8 Ais, 105/2,5 Ai and 180/2,8 Ai, at least I hope. Plus, of course, the 2.8 zooms...

…if the sensor does what is promised, and the lenses are good and dostortion free. Or it could be a steal if the promises are not fullfilled. We can't do anything but wait.

I understand. Must be hard work. In my latitudes people care less about atmosphere, luckily. But I agree that in the situations you described anything but the best Nikon autofocus, or a well tuned...

For all my life I have focused, framed, shot. The same with autofocus: focus, frame, shot. Most subjects let you work this way, apart from athlets in sports competitions and birds inflight. The...

[…] Not if they keep producing a single iterated camera, the DSLR. An ideal instrument for some kinds of photography, a less than ideal for others. The illusion of a single solution for...

I'm a Nikon owner, and I'm simply tired of going around with a camera and lenses that weight as much as a Hasselblad outfit in film days. So yes, I will turn to Fuji for a few reasons: 1. the...

I plan to use the x-pro1 for travel, obviously. I hope the 14mm will come soon, because in some interiors it's the right focal length. Then I will use the camera for concerts, obviously not with...

Damn, I was hoping to finance the x-Pro1 selling a bit of DSLR gear.

I think the equivalence problem is over hyped. Different cameras bring in different results, and you will never obtain big format look with 35mm, or full frame look with a small small format...

Here in Italy there is much talk about a ship commander who steered his huge ship into the rocks, with sad loss of lives. In the last ten years I have had the impression that Kodak was guided by...

Astonishing. Looks like my Nikon D300 @ISO 3200, or the Leica M9 sensor @1600. Fuji will re-write the rules.

Size and weight are just a part of the story. Anyhow they mean a more relaxed, less intrusive way of working. I have never liked cameras, lenses, big bag, flash or flashes shouting “I'm a pro!“ at...

May I suggest that your screen is not properly profiled.

The samples provided by Fuji seem to be unsharpened. if you shift-refresh the page, you will find many more samples. I downloaded a couple of images, and they took a huge amount of sharpening...

The couple of images I downloaded take a real looot of sharpening (different sharpenings too) without showing embarassment or artifacts. We'll have to tune in a different way our workflows, I suppose.

Physical dimensions have an influence on focussing speed. Focussing a small lens with a tiny movement from near range to ∞ is faster and less energy demanding than focussing a bigger lens...
