Inner virtues:
- very effective image stabilization, the Fujifilm-promised 4 stops may be plausible.
For comparison, the RX100 is reported to have 0 stops effectiveness at its wide...

Regarding the Canon Sxxx 'lens error' issue (the lens gets stuck while the cam is still new) , Canon admitted the problem some time ago, and had announced this being solved from a...

I got the XF1 now.
@Frank, if you shoot weddings professionally, I guess you like shooting people in general for pleasure? then the XF1 is suitable, having a fast and reliable AF, better colours...

Yes, I had ordered and received my X-F1 by now, and I like it. It also helps, that Adobe updated their RAW-Process (with the update from ACR v7.1 to v7.4, the latter [at least officially] not...

the traditional US amateur photography magazines are the traditional US amateur pixel peepers. The XF1 won't get love from any pixel peeper, though, as long as the support of RAW converter software...

I just had a look at example pictures from the F770, and they are not to my expectations. To me they look like photos from a cheap digicam, or from a smart phone, in terms of pretty poor local...

Hi Ivar,  JPEG is perfectly all-right, if you are not used to do much (or any) post-processing to your pictures, because you are happy to let your camera already do this stuff, and because the...

P.S.  actually, the above picture is a good example to demonstrate, why I only do RAW since it became available, and will never return to JPEG (therefore my strong interest in this thread on how...

Fair enough, sometimes I indulge in switching to techy/nerdy mode, especially when a camera purchase is due ;) After all, a forum of a technically orientated photo gear testing site, is the natural...

Hi 57even, never mind! Thanks for listing some alternative RAW converters, which seem to take Fuji more serious, certainly worth giving them a try for EXR cams as well.   Hi Asylum Photo, The EXR...

Oh sh..ugar, that means I'm back to square one with my EXR concerns. Indeed, '57even', who gave the most comprehensive answer yet, uses a X-E1, i.e. one with the other pattern (X-Trans). Because...

Thanks a lot for the comprehensive and encouraging answer(s). I didn't know (because I don't own a Fuji yet), that they bundle their RAW capable cameras with a Silkypix derivate. But yes, my...

Hi, I'v been doing DSLR (RAW only) in the past, and now I'm also keen on a TRULY pocketable digicam (for doing RAW only). Fuji's X-F1 draws my attention here, because it seems having a good sensor...

On the Japanese Forum, the one originating the leaked pictures, one guy says: 30-122 mm F1.8-2.5 Sensor type 1/1.7 LX7So, the XZ-2 ist just a bit of an evolution, not a revolution. I.e., not a...

To be honest, I'm not shure about what I should hope for. As every optical "advancement" in one direction, be it one out of following:dimensionszoom rangemax apertures across zoom...

I also considered expensive tele zooms, but I couldn't convince myself for such an investment, because I doubted if the marginal improvements (as per lens tests) would be field relevant.I also saw,...

When I had to choose between these two in 2008, I came to the conclusion that the Pentax was the better buy for me, even regarding its higher price. I remember I did extensive research on the web...
