AF feels fine to me...http://www.flickr.com/photos/harry_s/sets/72157634005095926/

As a motorsport shooter the continuous AF has me very interested, a big expensive leap to pre-order without a good idea of how in practice it will work for fast moving subjects though.

I'm looking to get a square filter kit for my X-E1 / 14mm 2.8 combo, does anyone have any experience of them? Reading up on the Cokin A kit for example, it suggests a minimum focal length of 35mm,...

My PPing secret is that there is very little PPing. I shoot in JPEG, transfer to my iPad, crop/straighten and maybe adjust colour (or convert to B&W) in Snapseed, then upload straight to Flickr. I...

I fully agree with this, I get far more of a buzz taking a sports shot with this than I did when I had a Nikon D90 / 70-200 2.8 VR, that thing would lock on without breaking a sweat and never let...

I only used the 18-55 in London, I had an X100 as well and that got 99% of my wider focal length use. I imagine the 35mm will be a almost permanently attached to my X-E1 now, with the 14mm and 60mm...

My X-E1 was bought to replace my bulky Sony DSLR gear in June, mainly because it's a big year for us with lots of holiday plans coming up, including our honeymoon part 1 (two weeks around South...

Exactly the same situation here, in fact mine went back yesterday. I'm in the UK, mine came from WEX, it's going off for repair unfortunately they won't do a refund/replacement, bought it for my...

It's hard to complain when they keep releasing genuinely useful/noticeable firmware upgrades, but surely minimum shutter speed in AutoISO is a very easy fix?!

For anything moving I control the shutter speed and leave the Aperture on A. I use anything from 1/500 down to 1/30 for motion depending on how much background blur I want. The faster the shutter...

It's quite hard to explain as it's such a bizarre system (to me, anyway), but I basically ignore the fact that AF-C supposedly re-focuses constantly whilst not touching the shutter release at all....

I posted some action shots a few weeks back, but these were all pans so were as much down to technique as camera/lens/af ability. I knew the little X-E1 had it in it though, I just needed somewhere...

I'm thrilled with the AF of my X-E1, I've owned a G5, OM-D and various DSLRS before, and after reading up here and elsewhere I really wasn't expecting anything, but I'm very pleasantly surprised by...

A few more from today, trying out cars heading away and various things so much tougher on the AF system. Really happy with how it's working out, nice and sharp.

Thanks for your comments, I didn't have much time but next weekend I will try out a wider range of shots, unfortunately 200mm isn't really enough reach for anything really challenging (such as...

C-AF is still useful in these circumstances, regardless of how it works, as I still want it continuously evaluating the  focus until the last moment. I've shot for a few years with Panasonic M4/3...

The 55-200 arrived yesterday, had an hour free earlier today to try it out, seemed rude not to... Worked really in Continuous AF mode, much much better than I expected actually. I will give it a...

Within reason I don't care how long it is when in use, it's the size of it when transported that matters And where comparisons are normally made. I would never dream of taking a 70-200 2.8 on my...

I think you have your numbers very, very wrong... Fuji 55-200 = 75mm x 118mm (580g) Nikon 70-200 f4 = 78mm x 178mm (850g) Nikon 70-200 2.8 = 87mm x 215mm (1470g) The f4 Nikon is 50% longer and...
