What I don't get is why this lens is only compatible with the EOS M. What about the EOS100 they just released? Why would you go to all the trouble of designing "the world's smallest DSLR" and then...

I wouldn't put all your eggs in the Fuji basket. Right now you have two different sensors, which means if you don't like the output of one you can switch to the other. Not to mention that with the...

Is there an SD card with 'Firmware update' printed on it somewhere in the box? I got that with mine, the camera itself was only on the earliest firmware.

I love the colours.

As far as I know, Touit is only otherwise found as part of the scientific name of a genus of parrots. Maybe it was an attempt at onomatopoeia?

Out of interest, what was the card you were using? If you buy a fast SanDisk it writes quite quickly. And as others have said, having slow AF doesn't rule it out for street photography, which...

As an X-E1 user, I'd say the difference in IQ is very slim. In low light, the Fuji has an advantage. In bright conditions with lots of background detail, the latest m43 sensors don't have the...

I believe the autofocus speed on both cameras is pretty much the same. Apparently Fuji is working on a firmware update due out in a couple of months that is supposed to increase AF speed even...

Firstly, the watercolour effect is still marginally noticeable in some photos from JPG mode. Secondly, I can get better photos out of RAW than the JPG engine. That's not to say that the JPG engine...

I knew from reading reviews that this was a potential issue going into my purchase of this camera, so I have forced myself into the habit of checking the exposure dial every time I turn the camera...

Hehe. So meta.

I'd hardly call it a mess. Yeah, the watercolour issue is annoying, but you only notice it at 100%.

It makes sense. The brain can only focus on so many elements at once. Digital photography and post-processing makes it possible to boost every element of a photograph to optimum, and it's very easy...

I can see the pattern you're talking about just fine. Where the X-trans does tend to smear details is mainly in foliage: however this is primarily an Adobe issue. If you convert with Aperture it's...

I agree. I gasped so loudly at the colloquialism that my monocle almost fell off.

You misunderstand me. Because the eye is capable of making micro-adjustments by opening and closing rapidly to suit varying light conditions, it has an effective dynamic range of over 24 f-stops...

It's not so much about faking the right exposure as having extra options. Actually, the thing I like most about RAW files is their longevity. I've pulled out files I took years ago that looked like...

I must say I'm very impressed with the camera's auto WB, using the dropper in Lightroom usually only ever pushes the hue slightly in one direction. It does make shooting only in JPEG a real...

I moved from a D60 to an X-E1 and the autofocus speed is more or less the same. Both cameras will hunt a bit in low-contrast or low light situations, but for subjects that aren't moving constantly...

Lovely work, especially the first picture.
