Thanks! Yes, I always shoot in manual. I suppose I do have more keepers (in RAW you can "save" many photos, but some of them could be too far off... or at least compromised), but more importantly I...

Hey all! It's explained in the blog post, but in short-- this is a look back a some of my favorite photos from the past 100 days using the X100s. I thought some of you may enjoy looking. So, please...

Ha--thanks, dude/dudette.

The results to the above guessing game are posted in the link, but if you can't wait another second to find out ;-) #1 is the X100S #2 is the Canon 5D3 with 35L

I'm stealing someone else's comment from another forum, since they can explain it better than me: "The X100S's native file size is about 11 x 16 inches when printed at 300 ppi.  However, when...

I included 2048 px downloads of each. That's pretty big for viewing on a monitor. I feel like what you're talking about is pixel-peeping. Why do it? It doesn't have a practical basis, imo. View a...

Please, feel free to play along and take your best guess. :-) http://www.briankraft.com/Blog/personal/x100s-vs-canon-5d-mark-iii-with-35l-1-4/

Really nice stuff. This one is particularly beautiful to me. The washes of color and the particular color palette is just fantastic. Would make an amazing large fine-art print.

Looks pretty awesome to me.

Well, you do have to consider that this shot's focal plane is not all that close to the camera. The real problem occurs much closer. Not a problem that's not insurmountable by stopping down, if...

What exactly is your point?

Looks great! I forget where I saw it, but a couple days ago I saw someone whining about how the X100S is soft at f/4. By the time I got from my phone to a PC, I couldn't remember where I had seen...

Bend your knees.

Well, his glasses are the sharpest part of the image, whereas I would have tried to actually get focus on his eyes. But that's just a side point. There is a glow around even the sharpest parts of...

There's a disproportionately high number of people taking incredibly dull photos of their cats. It's usually the first photo with a camera-- because cats always seem to be around at un-boxing time.

Why are you so awesome?

As mentioned, what kind of portraiture are you looking to do? Are you familiar with using a 35mm FOV for portraits? It definitely takes some getting used to. Now that I understand it better and how...

I really like the shot a lot. Very compelling composition. Since you asked about critics, I'll offer one idea. I keep wondering how the photo would feel if you had taken it from a lower perspective...

Thought some folks may enjoy these photos from today. My daughter helping out with gardening, feeding the chickens and goats, and making a nice mess too! For some of the closer up shots and...

In case you didn't see, there's a poll where we can all submit our wishes for firmware updates. Nobody knows if Fuji will listen, but it seems they did with the X100S upgrades. And this is the most...
