How many shots makes it up?  It's spectacular!

X-E1, processed M3:2 JPG from earlier today, Rock Creek Park, Washington DC: Not the sharpest shot of the batch, but certainly the best light!  Great place to shoot a family portrait!

I tried a few X-E1 test shots today to compare in-camera half-sizing with my best efforts in Photoshop Elements. I think the camera does an equally good job of it. Yesterday I tried this with a...

We are like sheep, and they are the shepherds. A kitty cat shall lead them. And other nuggets.... Just a great shot, by the way, capturing so well the pure disdain.

This forum is mostly about gear and technical methods and so on, but it seems every week or so we have two threads devoted to the simple pleasures of photography, sharing images, comments,...

My cat deserves the best, and now I know my X-E1 is simply not up to the job! Relax your vigilance and the world will relegate you to the dustbin of history.  We must upgrade, and the sooner the...

Marumi 40mm filter is a great fit on my X-10.  Lens cap tends to fall off so I got a capkeeper too.

The foveon stairstepping on diagonal straight lines is not really a factor in the X-E1 images, I think because the CFA technology prevents the hard as nails rendering you get without...

I had already signed out thinking my lunch break was over, but after seeing your message I just had to sign back in to clarify this subtle and important distinction.A Sigmatite hangs from the...

Yes I wanted to know how close I can come to Foveon quality with my X-E1. The answer, at least for me, is that I can practically meet it if my image size is 8 megapixels or less.I've done 24" x...

Sorry I don't have a full-res version of the shot. I think you would see more roughness in the X-E1 crop if you tried it at full res. In-camera downsizing minimizes the junk in the X-E1...

Sigma does not currently offer a DPxM with interchangeable lenses. The Fuji X-E1 seems to be almost as good at 8 megapixels. It offers small size, light weight, good image quality, and very good...

The crops shown in the comparison image were the same number of pixels.  In the X-E1 image the dimensions are 450x506.  In the SD1 image the dimensions are 451x507. Yes in the X-E1 the original...

Your last paragraph is exactly what the general sentiment on the Sigma forum seems to be. I set my X-E1 to "M3:2" image size and I set image quality to "F". The entire sensor is used to make the...

I went with a half-sized OOC JPG from the X-E1 because (from what I understand) the recommended way to compare Foveon with CFA is to either half-size the CFA and compare pixel-to-pixel, or...

There are some very good waterproof cameras out there these days.  Fuji seems weak in this area but my wife likes her XP100.

Check back with the bride and groom and let them know the response on the forum has not been too great.  My guess is they simply won't care! You've got a very small high performance camera and...

Looks good to me, but I see a little more noise suppression smoothing than I really like.  Also I think I agree with you about monitor resolution and maybe even magazine page sized prints. I have...

Maybe before you give up on the X10/X20, see if you can try one.  It might be just fine. Also, I've seen your similar thread in the Fuji X forum. I have an X10 and an X-E1, as well as other...

Welcoming your Sigmatite comments on this comparison, from a similar thread in the Fuji X forum: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52260331 Thanks!
