Pretty fair assessment. The author is a good photographer, but he obviously isn't versed in single lens, non-brain distortion. Every lens under the sun will show perspective distortion when a...

Indeed. I can imagine only two or three countries at most where such size is considered even close to normal. Unfortunately DPReview resides in one of them. It used to reside in another. Waaaay...

I'm a product photographer who would very much like to move up to an S in the next few years. D800 is great, but it is just a stop gap vs. a better 'medium' format with larger dynamic range, better...

I would be very happy to do without X Trans. I'd also like 24 megapixels.

Those are good points. The difference with Apple and Fuji is that Apple have never played by anyone else's rules - not exactly. Fuji are playing by every other mirror less maker and Canikon rules...

And to a point, you are correct. It isn't about making cheap or expensive, it is about maintaining an image, something NO Japanese company I know of, does. Leica may make rebadged cameras, but not...

I think Harry Potter was probably a poor choice. ACME Recipe book might have been better. And again, there is nothing _wrong_ by introducing lower products except that it dilutes your brand....

That dude looks like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.

In other words, built a nex or M43. It is possible to maintain profits and quality by catering to a real market. The right moves do not consist of cheaply building something so that every unique...

Yes, they do quality stuff _as well_. I assume that I am reading the op correctly because I agree with him. Fuji started making unique, upper class products. Today, they seem intent on making mass...

Re: annoying shutter speed dial. On my Canon P the dial freely rotates. On my FE, it is locked. But the FE also has Automatic Exposure and compensation for a specific aperture. To me, the lock is...

Mr. Knobs here.
Just wanted to agree: the X system is great. But it has enough problems that it sorely needs a BIG update not just an iterative one.
I would be mostly happy if only one thing was...

I should have explained that. I lived for a while in a place where to be a man (in a society that was changing to automatic transmissions) you had to own a standard transmission car. I have never...

Do you drive in snow? Having manual coupling to the gear box via a clutch is absolutely necessary to get going on hills and in avoiding slippage. It isn't about having your hand on the manly knob,...

Let me guess, you own a 1980's Toyota, wear hand-me-down jeans only, shave with disposable razors and eat Kraft Dinner every night. If you don't, you have no reason to criticise people for liking a...

While I don't agree as strongly about the ThinkTank bags, I do agree they are tailored to a different market. I'm the sort of person that appreciates design as dictated by use, but above that...

No, I very literally understand manual vs. mechanical. Manual is defined by the Oxford thusly:
adjectiverelating to or done with the hands: manual dexterity.• (of a device) operated or controlled...

I am happily dismissed. I have not a single X lens on my X. I have ONE AF lens on my Nikon, the 28-70/2,8ED AFS. That qualifies us for nothing more than rubbing manual shoulders.
I'm a user. So are...

57LowRider: you are correct only as it applies to the eye.
Electronically, the X-Pro/XE-1 is far more electronic than even the most electronic of Canon lenses is. There is NO focus helicoid in any...
