Ryan, photographers who are used to this functionality know the value if it and know there really isn't a substitute. For example, fast moving subjects that might be moving in and out of shade/sun...

on the contrary.  Having the ability to use the AF-L button to lock focus in AF mode is very useful.  I shoot this way all the time with my dslr.  It allows you to take multiple shots without...

I updated the FW on my x-e1 and after a few minutes of using it in various lighting conditions, I did think it focusses faster. I also realised that i can use the AF-L button to focus.  I'm really...

Thanks again everyone. So, the D600 is and isn't good enough :-D It's a shame we don't get to try and return where I am.  Once we've bought, that's it!  I often wonder what happens to all these...

Thanks for all your comments (and doggy photos). I like the d300s except for the aging 12 mp sensor.  The DR and ISO capabilities are not up to the task and of course people seem to want to print...

Thankyou for your response Oscar.  Sorry, I couldn't tell if you have, or have used, any of the cameras I am asking about though. Your image is not typical of the type of pet photography I am...

As Nikon don't look like offering me a d400 to replace my d300s, I am still considering either the d600 or d800. although I'm not sure either is a good fit like the d300s, I can't see any other...

Well, I don't care about who's wanting who to comment, I was happy to see the review and thought it was a good read. and yes for whatever reason I'm happy thom has as soft spot for the wonderful...

Overall I'm very happy with my fuji.  It's a beatiful rose, complete with thorns and a few aphids. I have not used any of the other comparable cameras, apart from handling them in store.  I don't...

I've had the x-e1 for a couple of weeks now, so i might as well add my opinion to maybe help others with their decision making. I was one was trying to decide if I wanted the fuji or the Oly. In...

No, this what the RAW file looks like.  No post-processing, exported from LR straight from RAW file.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, the images are shot at minimum focus range, so I am not concerned about DOF. I did wonder if that level of softness was standard on this lens though. But the main...

I am trying to get an understanding of different faults and problems with lenses so that I can recognise the different problems when I see them in my images.  I have the 50mm 1.4g.  I know there...

thanks for your reply.  I want to buy the fuji but still have moments of wondering if I would be an idiot for passing on the Oly, considering it too has pretty good IQ and better EVF and AF,...

So Steve, you don't regret getting rid of your omd? What didn't you like about it and what do you like better about the x-e1?

I'm not an avid fan but a regular reader of Thom. I don't read him as being negative and anti-Nikon at all.  I find what he writes to be balanced and informative and in no way reactionary, which is...

OK.  Having a close look, there is a difference in noise between the two cameras. I do prefer the fuji picture.  I also notice that there is more detail in the reflection of the counter top with...

...actually the fuji image isn't really darker in the last shot, looking again, it's just very different.

Thanks for posting these. I thought I had made up my mind and had dismissed the Oly because of better lowlight performance of the fuji.  i would love to be able to shoot lowlight at iso 6400. I'm...

Thanks for the comments so far.  It looks like I will probably need more than fuji for what I do.  I thought the comment about the dog park was key because I do sometimes need to be able to do...
