I was just kidding (although I do not find the menus to be all that complicated; there are just so many options).  Actually, I find them pretty easy to navigate.  Of course, I've been shooting ...

I prefer not to think of the menus as being "complex". Instead, they are "rich in features and options, which allow the discerning photographer to configure virtually every aspect of the camera's ...

This is a true statement.   Different people have different preferences or requirements. This is not necessarily true. With all due respect, the fact that YOU have shot without IBIS and can ...

I would like the Fuji a lot better if it had IBIS.  I have minor hand tremors, but with the Oly IBIS I have no issues whatsoever getting sharp shots with my set of m4/3 lenses.  The Fuji primes ...

I posted a question along these lines, to the Fuji X-series forum.  I asked if it made sense to go from an E-M1 mk I with the 12-40 lens, to a Fuji X-T2 with the Fuji 18-55 f/2.8-4 OIS lens. ...

Look at it this way: the parts of the camera that are used EVERY time one takes a photograph are the shutter button, and the device through which one looks to compose and frame the image. Some ...

Good point. By the way, your post is the second one recommending the use of a tripod for landscapes.  Is this because the OIS in Fuji lenses is not all that great, or just a general good practice ...

Interesting (and a bit reassuring as well).  Thanks for the info; I appreciate it.

I have DxO Optics Pro and really like it.  I just checked their web site and they do not support RAW files from the X-Trans sensor (or whatever the sensor in the X-series cameras is called).  None ...

Thanks for the info.  I kinda like the idea of an aperture ring on the lens itself...my E-M1 has a front and rear control dial; the rear one adjusts the aperture or shutter speed, depending upon ...

Here's a link to a thread I posted on the Fuji X-series forum, asking the folks there how they thought the E-M1 with 12-40 compared to the Fuji X-T2 with its 18-55 f/2.8 - 4 lens.  If others are ...

Thanks for your comments. Hmmm...more things to consider (especially the part about  RAW editing and landscapes).   I can Google the RAW processing issue easily enough, but what is it about the ...

Thanks very much for your insightful clarifications.  Interesting points for me to think about.

Thanks for your reply.  The issue I'd have with the X100T is that it doesn't have a fold out LCD.  I do the majority of my shooting with the camera hanging from the neck strap, pressed gently ...

Bill, thanks for your inputs. I understand that I'd lose a bit on the short end with the Fuji zoom compared to the Oly 12-40, but for indoor shooting with the E-M1 I currently use my Panasonic 15mm ...

Thanks for the comeback. To save bandwidth and not waste others' time, I won't replicate our combined posts here.  But, I do want to wish you good luck with your little kids. I can definitely ...

Thanks very much for your reply. If I didn't already have a camera system, this would be a much easier decision. However, as things stand now, I have a nice set of gear that works well for me, and ...

Hi, thanks for your response.  Please see my comments embedded underneath yours. If I read you right, my expectations are in fact overly optimistic.  Is that what you meant? Ouch, I was afraid of ...

Hello I am mulling over replacing my Olympus E-M1 and 12-40 f/2.8 lens, with a Fuji X-T2 and the Fuji 18-55 F/2.8 – 4 OIS lens (and probably adding a fast prime a bit later). I shoot almost ...

I saw somewhere that the fully articulated screens are better for video shooting, than the tilt screens that just fold down and out directly behind the camera. I can see how the swivel screen could ...
