Seems the photo did not go with the post. Apologies for my ineptitude. It was DCSF128, as far as I can tell vultures on a peak. DSCF3128

This photograph Is amazing. It made me wish I had taken it. Also, the girl with goat has something about it, almost heartbreaking somehow with the expression and the complacent impervious...

Great shot! Brilliant capture of the moment, I feel like I'm there--this expresses all the excitement of watching these riders who move with such skill. Her extended hand gripping the reins...

The old nikon FM (I think tht's the right model name) diopters work--I just picked up a +1 for my XP1 at a used camera store in Portland for $6. They had several. It works perfectly with my...

It's hard to believe that this thread is still here. Hasn't the dead horse been beaten sufficiently for those doing the beating to certify it as officially dead?

To begin with, after reading reviews, I found myself uttering @!!&%$$## and such. Then I read the manual--carefully-- and changed my settings. As I learned, I found the image quality improved...

Agree with this. Buy from a local shop so that you can take it back if there are problems. The price won't be any worse, but you will have local support which can be worth a little extra expense if...

Apple does not repair problems for those who are not the registered owners of the equipment. The comparison lacks merit. When you start the computer, it leads you to the registration online that...

If you go to Amazon.com you will find used X100's as low as $773. Whether they will suffer SAB is a question in comparison to the new ones which will have the reconfigured lens assembly. On the...

You are right, everything is out of focus. I only had this occur once--I had bought a cheap used uv filter thinking to protect the lens and it degraded the sharpness noticeably. Not as much as your...

Your son has that camera down! Do you get your own talent hereditarily from him? :)

Been a long time since I was there, but I seem to remember parts of the Gran Via as being lively at night. Wish I could be there too, it's a great city.When I was there, not long after the death of...

As far as being dark, I took a series of pictures in Savannah that seemed fine and in the LR4 beta all were dark. Some on this forum have noted that if you shoot with dynamic range over 100 that...

About manual focus, years ago I used a Leica IIIF, a Rollei with the Tessar lenses, an Exacta, and 4x5 and 8x10 cameras. Is the XP1 faster than manual on the Leica and Exacta? In my opinion, yes....

You are absolutely right about that, forgive my inability to make the point without obscurity.What I was getting at is that sometimes expectations have more to do with perception than the actual...

Focusing for that 36 megapixels is critical. The reviewers I have read so far say that the D800 will provide amazing results but requires (not just gets better with) high quality lenses to get the...

To those who talk about autofocus, I never suggested it. I learned to shoot on a IIIF and manual focus is fine. But the M9 is almost impossible to focus if you have presbyopia, as I do, and the...

This comparison convinces me of something I have been mulling for a while now, which is that we live in an emerging golden age for photographers in which many cameras will provide sufficient...

As I have the X100 I one may consider me biased if I think it is a very good camera. The images to date have been very very good for me.That said, buy the X2 if your post reflects your feelings. It...
