XE-3 ...just can' put it down. A jewel of a camera. Can't see me upgrading anytime soon.
Good thing too. At their current prices they were almost giving them away.
A tissue and an elastic band does the same job. Cost is outragious.
Sounds like a bargain at that price. Must cost at least $10 each to manufacture.
You can buy a house painters canvas drip cloth for about $20 and splash your own paint onto it with a mop.
Brilliant tips! Thanx.
For those bemoaning the focal length of the lens and the price of the camera...check out the sample gallery and see why this camera deserves its price. The images have a seductive quality that Fuji seems to excell at delivering. This will be a street camera par excellent.
Settle down folks. It's just a camera.
Take another look at the winner, deconstruct the arrangement, note the repeating rhythms of the cliff face, the sand, the water, the clouds and the snow? See how cleverly it all fits together like a jigsaw puzzle, yet the overall illusion is a composition of simplicity. See how all of the different forms have sharks teeth? See how all the lines lead the eye deep into the image space? Now give the judges a little credit for knowing their stuff....at least they took the time to look.
Each one of these images has a quality that lifts it above the normal run of the mill portraits. For those who can't see that, lift the curtain.
And so cheap....they'll flood the market.
zakk9: The correct title of this should be "Vantage Point: The military aircraft photography of Jon Pece". No, I don't care much for glorifying photos of military equipment used for unprovoked attacks on other nations, resulting in millions of innocent deads, damaged lives, refugees etc. Some call it "collateral damage", but it's murder, plain and simple.
How did a discussion on photography become a discourse on war? They are excellent photographs...a show of immaculate technique and fine composition. Stay focussed folks!
Hey....Waitaminute! I think they're twins!
wherearemyshorts: 1/4000 top shutter speed.
My 10 year old D70 will do 1/8000 of a second. OF course the D70 used a CCD sensor and the shutter was opened and the sensor was turned on for 1/8000 of a second.
But then I do not think it would interfere with taking photographs. But I am still happy with 6 megapixels. But those 6 megapixels cost only $1000 but then.
The difference between 1/8000th and 1/4000th is...let's face it....1/4000th of a second. In photographic terms it doesn't make much of a difference to most users.
Perfect. Pure artistry!
Advice to Leica
If you can't build a better digital camera than those already available on the market....then build transistor radios instead.
I think they are missing the boat. This camera should have had an even better OVF, faster focus and better IQ than the previous 2 models. A tilting screen is not a game changer. If you start with a good product and keep improving it then you will end up with perfection. If you simply keep changing it then you end up with something else. The X10 could have been developed into a classic Leica type camera that every photographer would want in his camera bag. The image quality of the original X10 was remarkable and it would have taken little to make the camera king of the point and shoots.
That's one pretty little camera.
I had a dream that this would happen...therefore the copyright belongs to me.
An interesting study in shape, form and colour. For all of the stupid, negative comments on this thread, these images are whimsical and I'm sure anyone who looks at them can see other creative possibilities using this technique. Look, think and learn.
