tinpusher's recent activity

  • I often travel with the X100S and G1X and they make a great combination. Recently I've been using the tiny Sony RX100 instead of the Canon purely because it goes on my belt and can almost match the...
  • Apparently it's an offer made by Sony and DXO. The program is both Stand Alone and plugi-n for my Adobe software - other software too maybe. The activation code is sent as soon as you download the...
  • Replied in Yes, I would
    Of all my Fuji cameras it's the colour from the X10 that I like the most. For images of people it seems to capture skin beautifully and although it may lack the resolution of some of its peers the...
  • I've found it best to avoid the thin flexible type of shield ; for me they always end up crooked or with air bubbles. Giottos and ACMaxx brands are good but in this case Sony's own protector is...
  • Lowepro Napoli 30 The case is perfect on a belt but when packed away for travel the soft sides mean that the on/off switch may be inadvertently activated. In my handluggage I use the Official...
  • Commented on DSCF2228 photo in tinpusher's photo gallery

    This illustrates the X100S at its worst.
    I think DR400 has been applied to the jpeg and although NR was at -2 there is too much smearing for my taste look at the sheep. The colours are equally bad...

  • Thanks for an excellent post. I keep NR to -2 and haven't seen much smearing although times when I've suspected smearing especially in leaves it's been the same in the RAW files converted with LR -...
  • I'm another that found my RX100 turning on in it's soft case and draining the battery. It was fine on my belt but I put the case and camera in my hand luggage only to find it drained sometime...
  • If we get a new update , the update page contains all the information you need. http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/finepix_x100/index.html It's worth a read. IIRC...
  • Serial 13Nxxxx would have been constructed after the SAB fault had been identified and corrected I think that Fuji are being quite fair
  • Specifically :  Taiwa-Cho (AFAIK)
  • Thinking specifically of the X100S You're correct in that the colour set is different ( just as good mind ) and with Leica glass you have a different contrast that cam almost make your subject pop...
  • Sony Colours , the Auto modes and the User interface are the three factors that I dislike most about the RX100 although it's still an amazing camera for all that. Yellows come out looking too green...
  • Keep the LX7 for Macro iif that's important to you. The user interface on the Sony is clumsy but there's no denying its IQ if you make large prints.
  • I use the JJC lens hood and filter adaptor which is of excellent quality and cheaper than the Fuji version.  I say that I "use" but  I'm not a fan of putting glass in front of an expensive lens and...
  • Why not try a used Fuji X100 ? It will challenge you photographically , possibly change your attitude to Prime lenses and then sell on for virtually no financial loss. It will also slip into a...
  • There again the new Leica X Vario doesn't either and that's a flagship product. Given that the sensor is almost APS-C size I find it remarlable that the G1X has such a small lens of incredible...
  • I use both cameras ; they are totally different. The RX100 has fantastic IQ for its size but is a pain to use. Ideal for the small pocket. The X100S fixed lens but otherwise as close to perfect as...
  • I think you'll find that at Base ISO the new backlit sensor displays the result of crosstalk and is slightly less sharp although in practical terms it probably doesn't matter. The upside is that...
  • I bought an X20 to replace my X10 but got rid very quickly as the jpegs were smeary with foliage being particularly poor.  Strangely the X20 RAW files are fine with lots of detail and gorgeous Fuji...
