Recently acquired a used X-T20 to replace the Panasonic in my studio, to allow me to use the Panny on location where it is more suited. My setup is the X-T20 HDMI out to an Atomos Ninja Blade which ...

My TG5 proved to be quite fussy about HDMI connections. I used a cable with a standard HDMI at one end and a micro HDMI at the other. It was OK at first then it got flaky and I would get "no ...

I find this fascinating and I can't wait to buy the latest smartphone with all of this capability. It'll save me tons of money. Instead of me going on vacation with all of the expense that entails,...

1080 30p to HDMI

I'm outputting the HDMI of the TG5 to an Atomos Ninja Blade recorder so the camera is just sending its HDMI signal to the recorder only. I'm never using the record feature of the camera and I'm ...

When we press the shutter release, the aperture does not close down smoothly, rather it seems to "stutter" as it closes down, opens, then closes. I have not seen it on my V, but it was present on ...

The ring is more than well dampened enough to be solid for back button or zone focusing. On my T I had to put a rubber band around it to keep it from moving. The V still has a "Wheel of Fortune"...

I've been using a X100T for a while for street photography and I jumped on the V version as it addressed my enhancement wish list (weather sealing, tilt screen, dampened manual ring). I previously...

As a happy X100T owner, I felt that the camera only needed three things to make it the perfect street camera: weather sealing, an improved manual focusing ring, and a tilt screen. The X100V has all ...

Once upon a time I was a big Pentax user: K2DMD, MX (two of them), and a K1000. Great cameras.

I often thought that Pentax missed the boat when introducing the K10D as direct competition to Nikon...

That was a trip down memory lane. My line up, in order, over a 30 year span: K1000, MX (2), K2DMD, LX, K10D, K20D and ending with a K7.

I've often thought that Pentax could've gotten a jump on...

The aperture stutter seems to affect a fair number of people. It isn't just me with this issue. Point the camera at yourself with the aperture at something around f11, take a pic and watch the ...

Ya, that's exactly how I use it now. I've put an elastic band on the focusing ring to prevent me from accidentally moving it after setting the focus. If I'm not working quickly and can take my ...

Ya, that matches my experience.

No, it's adequate on the X-T3, but it's really slow on older cameras.

I have a love/hate relationship with this camera. On the positive side, the entire package is a photographic dream. It's everything I want in a camera, but there's a but. I do most of my street ...

I have no issues with the optical performance of this lens, but it's noisy, slow AF and lack of an aperture ring drags down my opinion of it. That said, I love the perspective of the focal length ...

Early adopters in the home market, jumping on the bandwagon, means nothing. Let's see what the worldwide sales are like in a couple of years.

About Nikon FF vs. Fujifilm APS-C? I'm an amateur. I...

You see it as a path, I see it as a dead end. The sales will prove which one of us is right.

And if they gone with a dedicated APS-C mount it would have been even smaller and lighter.

Would you put the 24-70 f4 on the Z50 as your primary setup?

My point is simple, if you're only going...
