XS-1 New York Part 1

You're doing a great service to X-S1 owners, and to those considering purchases, by posting these images. They really show how capable (in good hands) this camera can be.

Big Apple with a big lens, bravo. The long shots always bring to mind that while it's not a D4 with a 600mm AF Nikkor, in the right hands, it ain't bad, plus you save 10 grand !

Bravo.

It also puts me in mind to think in a world with an RX10, and FZ1000, and the forthcoming Canon big-sensor bridge, it would be a shame for the XS to be a one-time only product, knowing full well with Fuji's engineers on the case, an XS-2 could be a monster. Time will tell.

Hi Speedex, thank you for your comment. I'm coming from the FZ30 that I found a pleasure to use. I had been looking for a replacement for a long time, and when the X-S1 was on Amazon UK in a daily deal for £220, it just seemed too good to miss, so I took a punt. I am enjoying the improved EVF, wider and longer reach, longer battery life. Except improvement at the long end I would put the IQ on par with FZ30. What I miss about the FZ30 is the fixed zoom and the ability to fold the screen face down into the body. All in all I am pleased with the X-S1, it is hell of a lot of camera for 220 quid and I will definitely be keeping it. Cheers, Rob.
