I generally don't use the hood or filter. If I need a hood, I use my hand. The case keeps the camera well protected. I just throw it in my bag, hang in over my shoulder... and not worry about it....

Depends on what you shoot. If you mainly shoot people, then you don't really need it since you're going to have issues with motion blur below 1/60 which is before camera shake becomes a problem...

What speed is your memory card? On my XP1 it is painfully slow if I put in a slow memory card. I've seen a similar phenomena when using a 15mb/s card, but with my 95mb/s card everything is much...

Never had any issues with dust. No dust is one of the advantages of a fix lens camera since most dust is introduced when changing lenses.

I remember with the X100 it took awhile for the initial shipments to go out due to the Tsunami, but once they got the ball rolling again I was still seeing it backordered through the end of the...

So should my $2000 85L have IS since, the $200 Rebel kit lens has it? The S90 has a tiny sensor and lens system so adding optical IS adds a very small amount of size and weight. An extra ounce on a...

I've used round metal rings and they definitely helped. I know Fuji replaced their original triangle rings with ones that were more rounded. Also, the newer lugs come with an inside lining of...

I get pretty much all my spares for my XP1 and X100 through Ebay for a few bucks a piece. On average they last about 80% as long as the OEM versions, but at 1/10th the price. I've gotten a few that...

Try it. With proper technique 1/30 should be no problem and you will likely be able to nail 90% of your shots at 1/15. If you take your time and have steady hands you should be able to get a decent...

Here's the logic. The general rule of thumb is that the slowest shutter speed you should use would be equal to the inverse of the focal length or your lens. At 35mm that means 1/35. With proper...

One of the advantages of the X-trans sensor is the quality of noise. The noise is almost grain-like and practically free of chroma. I've also found that it retains colors better at higher ISO's....

The early serial numbers are at risk of SAB. Probably a very small risk, but I'd want to make sure that I'm protected just in case. Purchase a later serial number, see if the repair has already...

I've been using these among a few others and they work just fine. They've been going strong for about a year and hold charge just fine. For the price, you can't beat it. Between the two, I prefer...

The X100s is a brand new camera with a new hybrid sensor. More likely than anything is that the new hardware components enable Fuji to implement a new set of features not possible/practical with...

X100 without question. Leave the bulk at home and enjoy the trip. Maybe it's just me, but I hate traveling with gear. The less the better. Plus you're really not sacrificing with an X100. I feel...

Why not just keep FW updates free as Fuji has been doing? It seems to me that Fuji has worked pretty hard to continuously improve their X-series cameras to optimize their performance. They have...

I've used cheap imitation leather cases for years and they've always held out very well. They don't wear nicely as leather does, but it does the job at a fraction of the price. Think about it this...

Get one directly from Fuji. You can call customer service directly or send them an email from the website.

The wrinkled shirt or the moire? The wrinkled shirt can be fixed in a few minutes with an iron, the moire can be fixed in 2 seconds using ACR.

It doesn't really cost anything more to give something a "retro look" vs. a modern one. All cameras have to go through the industrial design process. If the project manager throws down a bunch of...
