Two years of endless discussion about the shortcomings of the X-trans sensor, and this is the final proof? A few slightly mushier background trees? If anyone seriously is going to use that as an...

Really? I thought there were some good points in here - a few things my camera bag needs before my next trip.

Speak for yourself. I'm more than happy with the sensor - it produces very usable high ISO files, more than any other camera I've owned.

Had the week to play around with my photos from a recent trip to Sydney. My initial impressions have remained fairly constant: PhotoNinja delivers the best out of the box colour rendition of any...

Looks to me like a classic halo. It's worth remembering that Silkypix's default does add some sharpening to the image. Try toning it back and sharpening the image selectively. I get this problem in...

I'm blown away by it. Absolutely love the detail it brings out, and the colour. Not sure I like the sharpening, but the integration with Lightroom could fix that.

Hey DPR, thanks for the review. I'm still on the fence about getting this lens, but there are some helpful observations in here.

Those are some awesome shots. Mobile photography is getting better all the time.

As long as you also have the lenses to cover both regular and crop mode as efficiently as possible. It is a pretty good proposition, albeit one sadly well out of my financial reach.

Okay, let's look at the features. Here's what it has that the X-Pro and X-E1 don't: EXR II processor Compact body Dual control wheels as well as a mode dial Tilt screen Refined Auto ISO Motion...

Funny, I would have thought that launching a camera with a dysfunctional focus system would have done more to hurt the concept of 'peak of perfection' than launching a camera available in block...

I don't think you were using it correctly in some aspects, such as focusing in low light. It's important to select a point with as much contrast as possible, so if you focus on an area that's much...

No one knows why, especially when their website makes the following claim. All sensor scores reflect only the RAW sensor performance of a camera body. All measurements are performed on the RAW...

I was talking analogously, not literally. Forget the notion of 'equivalent aperture lenses' for a moment. The fact is, you can cover the same optical rangea large FF lens offers with a smaller...

I beg to differ, it's very much like a big car and a small car. A big car might go faster and move more people, but you might want a smaller car for more fuel efficiency and being able to park it...

All of your arguments about 35mm can be applied just as equally to medium and large format. There's nothing special about any one size. The size of the gear and the quality of the image vary at...

It's only a flaw if you plan on making large prints. Doesn't really show up otherwise.

What's the problem? Do you think coloured cameras have a disease your X-Pro might catch?

I love it too. The focus is really fast after the firmware upgrade, the center is beautifully sharp, the contrast and colour is fantastic. I also really love the small size. I used to feel like a...

Personally I agree with you in suspecting that it's a sensor-related issue derived from the CFA. I've taken files that show the smearing and it shows up in the JPG as well as the raw, and no...
