  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S First Look preview

    I actually think it's a great travel camera where you're in the "thick of it". I needed anything longer surprisingly rarely when I was on a trip to Spain and only had the X100 with me. But sure,...

  • This sounds great! Just awesome to have it that wide but also be able to use it as a normal lens. I'm surprised we've seen so few lenses like this for the Nikon DX format.

    This one, the Sigma 30...

  • The problem with going close with a wide angle to get decent DoF on an APS-C sensor like the Fuji X cameras is that you'll have to get so close that her facial features get distorted. I wouldn't...

    Yeah, the focal length kills it for me. 40mm equivalent would be perfect though. :p

  • Commented on {Text:Title} preview

    The lenses aren't even because the X100s sports a "normal" lens, 35mm equivalent. This is on the wide angle-end. This'll make a major difference if you want to shoot the occasional portrait or do...

  • Commented on {Text:Title} preview

    I have Nikon gear and like that setup and I like my X100 and this sort of cameras. But not this one. Too wide, unfortunately. Even the X100 is pushing it as I prefer shooting 35mm on APS-C. This...

    The successor to this one will most likely at least use the new hybrid AF system found in the Fujifilm X100s, so then you'll at least get a taste of DSLR-like phase detection autofocus.

    I'm...

  • Commented on Just posted: Fujifilm X-E1 Review news story

    Thats's interesting because I've heard the opposite (as well as seen in this review's lab test) due to the missing AA filter. You haven't compared the results via RAW's in Lightroom or Aperture?...

    I didn't expect a Gold award for this one with the persisting AF weakness, but rather Silver and Gold (with a margin!) for the X100s.

    Now that, I expect to be a slam dunk for Fujifilm in reviews....

  • I didn't believe in the 24 MP of this camera at first, but that was before I saw the photos.

    There's a certain point to high MP in that you should in a perfect world never be limited by the...

  • Yup, I didn't believe in the 24 MP on DX, but now I'm a believer. I'm looking at the finest details in the branches there, and I'll be damned if it's not actually there. This is impressive coming...

  • The first photo is using the new 1.3x crop mode? (it's 15 MP) Interesting if true! I didn't expect to get a taste this early. The optics still look pretty good despite a total 2x crop, if true.

  • I also like this a lot. The best part is perhaps not having to fiddle with external tools, messing up my workflow. I'm not sure how "authentic" their film looks really are, but that's besides the...

  • Video capture would allow very immersive photography! Much like this: http://krpano.com/video/video.html

  • Commented on Hands-on with Fujifilm's X100S article

    The SAB issue was supposedly caused be the Japanese earthquake flooding Fujifilm facilities, and new ones having paramters slightly off. The SAB issue should not affect even X100's built or...

  • The IQ of this is excellent. Adapters don't really get better than this. If I were not impressed, it would have been about the minor change in focal length. But that is probably also why it can...

  • Especially for the little change in focal length this adapter will make. I was kind of interested, and really like that the already great optical quality is preserved, but the difference is just...
