Viramati

5 and 13

Have had the camera for a few weeks and agree with most of the review. I only shoot RAW and am pretty happy with the results I can get in Lr4.4. In fact I find the files to very malleable and with...

Good review he does talk about the DR system on page 6 under features and recommends not going above 200%. I agree about the jpegs but I find the RAW files to be very good and not bad  at high iso....

seems to be normal that it will go tho white out for a couple of seconds in bright light. shouldn't be 10 seconds though

jpegs are fine at base iso but go above 200 and things start getting strange. you have also noticed yourself the problems in the 2nd image. what is odd is the fact that I can get very good files in...

The problems with the X20 jpeg engine are well known. What you need to do is email your results to fuji as I have done and hopefully a firmware update will be forthcoming

IMHO good in RAW up to 1600 and even usable at 3200 but you need to be good at tweaking in PP (Lr4.4 in my case). Appalling jpegs at anything above base iso. If you are a jpeg only shooter this may...

noticed this as well

I only use the masking at base iso or up to 200 and I use the technique that you describe above and as I said these are only starting points and I'm still getting to know the camera

Some intersting points Liz and in some ways it comes to a personal choice As I said I use these as a starting point and the high iso preset is pretty much based on one I use for the Leica M9 at iso...

Thanks a lot. I can see a difference with these setting at base iso but at high iso I think it make less of a change

Please ignore the original post as something went very wrong when I copied and pasted it in:-( Here are some Lr4 settings I use for developing X20 RAW files. I have them as presets and use them as...

Sorry this has all somehow got very messed up and I am trying to delete the post and start again

Here are some settings I have saved as presets which I use as staritng points especially for high iso in Lr4 iso 800-3200 (basic) clarity +15(tone curve)linear or medium contrast according to...

Shoot RAW and get fantastic files in camera jpegs are pretty awful considering. I use Lr4.4 and have made some presets so can work really quickly I don't find the RAW files to be noisy for a camera...

Shoot RAW. I have made some presets in Lr4 that I am happy with so with a click of the mouse voila

We can only hope  When the X100 came out it had some terrible faults most of which were operational and were soon sorted out with firmware updates so one would hope that this can be done with the...

It works but doesn't seem very relevant of a camera such as this which has an inherently high DOF

I am still experimenting but so far in high iso jpegs I am setting NR and sharpening both to -2 and even so I'm not impressed when you compare the images to the RAW files and what Lr4.4 can...

Got mine yesterday and in many ways it is a great camera. But thank god I am a RAW shooter as the jpegs are awful at anything above iso 400 (all is slightly better if you set sharpening and NR to...
