    Used x100f/xe3 prices... good/best value for money?

    Hi everyone It’s quite a while since I posted, but I wanted to get your thoughts on some prices for used x series cameras. I come from my lovely S100FS which has been my companion since its launch and I really loved using that camera. I’m really used to it and eventually I wanted a “next step”...

    Gimp vs PS Elements

    I only use open source software, so I think I can pitch in :) I have a S100FS, my workflow is as follows: a) Take picture b) Load it into digikam for RAW processing, if its a JPEG, I always start in digikam, lens correction, white balance, and if needed, slight noise reduction and local...

    X30 vs Panny LX100

    Yeah... the only reason the XA/XM cams were a no-go from me since day one was because of complete lack of VF... otherwise, Id have gotten the XM with the 16-50 + samyang 12 :) Fuji: if you give us a wide angle converter for the X#0 series we wont get mad, we promise ;) C'mon, one size fits...

    X30 vs Panny LX100

    Dont get me wrong, I think the LX100 is a terrific camera... but if Im willing to spend 900 bucks on such an item, I think I can squeeze the extra 200 to get to an XE2, which (except for video) is a hell of a lot more camera than the LX. Also, there are no more average joes here, they all moved...

    X30 vs Panny LX100

    Well, they changed the battery, now you get about double the battery life (470 Vs 270). Also, its not THAT big compared to the x20: x20= 117 x 70 x 57 mm X30= 119 x 72 x 60 mm Were talking about 2mm bigger in each direction and now we have a flip screen!

    X30 vs Panny LX100

    First of all, bluewater77, congrats on your new cam :) I hope you are enjoying it a lot! I like very much the first picture (the one with the nuts) but I have some issues with two of the other: the tree (third picture) and the last (feather trapped in grass) The tree looks amazing on...

    S100FS vs X20: is the oldie still unmatched?

    Lloydy, great pic! :D When I pp my s100 files, I usually apply very few NR, and in fact, most of the time I apply it only to chroma noise, while luma noise is either untouched or far less aggresively reduced, the problem is that when I do so the picture loses some saturation, which is easily...

    Unmask the cam! :D who is who? (ISO 100 version)

    Ok, here's a fun game: Below you will find some images, all of them have been taken at ISO100, all of them are from cameras reviewed by dpreview, all the images are mixed up and you have to guess which image belongs to what camera. Why this game? Well, other than fun, is to see if how biased...

    S100FS vs X20: is the oldie still unmatched?

    still thinking bout a new cam, I started to compare the x20 to my current s100fs, and while the x20 certainly has a lot of improvements over the s100fs, apparently, IQ isn't one of them (at least not until ISO 3200). Please, take a look at the stamps found on the x20 and s100fs reviews...

    RAW files recovery from a formatted (accidentally) CF card?

    I've heard of recuva but havn't tested it. File Scavenger works GREAT, but it costs. I could recover an entire 80Gb partition thanks to this program, that I accidentally formatted when installing xp (I deleted the partition, but I didn't reinstall on top of that, so no data was overwritten...

    Which X to get?

    Ok, I just wrote a dedicated reply to each one of you and for I-don't-know-why it never got posted :-x just a blank "reply format" :-x Anyways, to summarize: - Marumi 40mm filters will seem to do the job right, in the future, maybe, there will be other marumi (or hoya ;) ) 40mm filters or I'll...

    Which X to get?

    In this comment I'll reply to you all @ Limburger: It's just one option :p @ Tomhonkong I was thinking of the 52mm filters, because (for what I have seen) there's a lot more options for that thread than for the 40.5mm one. Thanks for your input regarding the raynox accessories, I bought a...

    Which X to get?

    Ok, here's the deal, I'm considering a new camera, at the moment I have narrowed it down to two choices. What I'm looking for is good IQ, compactness, manual controls and have fun. I love to shoot RAW and fine tune RAW images to my taste but it's been almost a year since I have had the chance...
