The photographer comes first. A camera is just a tool and as iPhone photos printed in the NY Times show us, a chisel and hammer at the hands of a sculptor yields art.
Any of the available DSLRs and...

I personally love my X-E1. Have you tried it?

You showed them! Good for you! Eye of the tiger!

Thanks. It's interesting to see you used 30 seconds at ISO 3200. I was shooting at 30 seconds at ISO 200. I'll use this technique, thanks for the info.

I recently went on a night hike to take some photos of the night sky. As a first-timer, I did some mistakes such as leaving IS. My biggest challenge was focusing. As I couldn't just turn the focus...

I think the best advise is to get whatever camera (you're on the X forum, of course we all love our Fujis...) and take 1000 photos with it BEFORE you go on vacation. That is the best way for you to...

For anyone who might be interested, I bought the Vello TTL off-camera 3ft flash cord for Canon and it works great with the...

I agree with everything you said. People didn't make lesser photos or were less creative when all they had were several types of the same film for years.
I am as guilty as everyone else for looking...

Saying there's not anywhere to go is like saying no one would need more than 640KB of RAM or more than 1GB of HDD. While it's true the megapixel race may be done, IQ has many places to go - 3D?...

It should just come with a spray kit - panels that can be disconnected and some spray cans.

Adding some salt will add that special flavor to your photos.

I think that more often than not the trick is not to use the most elaborate setup or equipment you can afford/borrow/carry, but the opposite - to get essence beyond the technique.
That's why most...

I recently bought the Sirui T-005X. Very similar weight and minimum size, but over 150cm max height. I took it for a spin with my FujiFilm X-E1 and it was great. I don't yet have a bag with a...

This lens is twice as heavy as the X-E1. I wonder how it will be operating it.

What is the maximum magnification? I'm sure it can be calculated from the minimum focus distance and focal length,...

It's made from transparent Aluminum ;-P

I added 55 RAF files to a zip in Windows 7.Original size: 1,438,074,880 bytesCompressed size: 1,067,162,752 bytesCompression ratio: 74.2%So on average, one compressed RAF would be about 19GB, still...

This statement has a tipping point as writing to the the card takes longer for larger files, so the slower the card the closer the point where compressing in memory would make sense. Overall I...

I'll check that out. If I can at least compress them on my computer it would be great. To reply to others here - IQ has very little to do with the file size. That is debatable and would depend on...

Browsing through DPReview image quality comparison pages I noticed that with same resolution files, the Sony NEX-6, MEX-5N and Olympus OM-D EM-5 are about 14MB-16MB whereas Fuji X-E1 RAW files are...

How hard is it to pan with a ball-head? This tripod definitely looks interesting and small enough.
