I'm not sure I've had that specific delay in initiation of focus. However, there is no doubt focus is the fatal flaw of this camera. No getting around that. In the real world subjects often...

No notable change on the 35 mm AF to me. Probably not worth the effort to upgrade and reset all your settings.

For lightroom there are a couple of pre-packaged options. I'm not sure how close to the in camera jpegs they really come. I tried the free ones and they are pretty different but not without their...

Nice! What do you use for a vari-ND ?

As a follow up-- I did order the cloudFTP device and had a chance to play with it a bit. For anyone contemplating lightening their load a little and using the ipad for first pass review in the...

Make sure you are set to 'S' mode focus.Obviously it doesn't work for manual focus-- although It took me 5 minutes to realize that!

Yeah-- my problem is I'd be constantly clearing space to import a batch-- then have to wipe space... my Ipads are only 16 gigs and more then half full.

You have to import them onto the ipad to get more then a thumbnail preview.

Going to give cloudFTP a try--Of all the different possibilities this seemed most interesting so I am going to give it a shot. You can plug any usb device into it and then access it from any...

Yeah-- it's a memory stick (you supply the sd card although it comes with one to start) with wifi and some amount of media server capabilities. It seems a niche market has sprung for these devices...

I'm probably imagining it but it seems like the focus is a bit improved with the new firmware. Slightly faster and more consistent with the 35 in a quick test. Maybe it's a placebo effect.

This seems like a pretty neat way to preview/manage images on an SD card--- http://www.airstash.com/ But for now I'll probably just stick with the camera kit connector and a handful of sd cards on...

It's a good point about the unpredictable wifi connection. It is probably a false assumption that the bandwidth would be sufficient to back up any sufficiently large volume of image data in a...

Has anyone used an iPad as a conduit to offload pictures while traveling? I am thinking that with an SD card reader connected to the ipad (3) and a wifi connection I can dump my cards to cloud...

I'm contemplating the same thing. An obvious downside to shooting both is it appears to require considerably longer write times to the SD card. Also- you end up with a lot of extra photos to sort...

My first reaction as well--- but it's actually not as bad as it seems-- some combination of experience and using the corrected AF boxes has evaporated most of the issue for me. I've never seen it...

As welcome as the raw support is for purists-- I do like the way Fuji processes the jpegs. I'll probably save both a jpeg and a raw for a while to have the flexibility of raw when needed but the...

great review--- shadows my feelings. Great image quality but with sluggish performance. Maybe firmware updates will fix some of that in the near future.Thanks
