Party pooper! :-D

Another LR4 and Nik... Moved from Aperture 3 fairly recently and I'm much happier with my results now...

Ed...

Look at the top plate design, the dials, the shape of the camera. Its Leica through and through... it's DNA if you will. Not panasonic in any shape or form...

Theres too much M DNA in that camera for it to be a rebranded panasonic...

I have virtually no focussing issues with the X100, but that could be due to my style of photography. So for me, the upgrade is totally unneccesary. (Improved MF would be a pleasant luxury but...

To marike6 - $900 is not inexpensive!!

Wow, wonderful image..

35mm is a perfect focal length for close candid shots. Wider than the human eye it can bring in the surroundings to give context, but it is not too wide so that subjects are lost in the image. When...

+1 on Gordys... ... I wouldn't have anything else on my cameras and they just get better and better with age.

Lightroom has struggled with the x-trans algorithm, nothing else. I find it very hard to believe that at iso 6400 Fuji applies a magical tone curve that lifts the file over 2 stops, and can then...

These photos (see Boston Globe article) are truly stunning! A very talented photojournalist at work...

I have the Lensmate for my x100 and Thumbs up for the XP1. The Thumbs up is milled from brass and has great silicon bumpers. It is beautifully made but very expensive. Worth it however!The lensmate...

Why didn't you say that in the first place?Well we now know the purpose of this thread is to give you the tiny push in the direction of the X100s...One review I read said that it increases your...

I own the X100 (since release) and the XPro1 (same focussing as the XE1). The X100 has great focussing in day light and isn't BAD at night... you just need to find contrast areas. AF in these...

What like the XP1, XE1, X100, X100s or the X20? Can't get much better than those in my opinion...

Ha, no... But their actions will inspire artists to create Art that will provoke discussion and create reaction..

It's also provoking discussion and a reaction from you so you are right, it is Art...

The are many polar arguments here and as is often the case, the truth is somewhere in between.

My view is that a tool can also be beautiful, not only to look at but to touch... The well dampened...

+1 on Freeman's The Photographers Eye...I've seen many articles on composition and heard lectures on the subject, and this book covers it all...Of course, some of it comes from within too :-)

I have found using a thumb grip works a treat and improves handling... I use the Thumbs Up EP 7S on my XP1. Expensive but worth it for the difference it's made...
