I've actually just recently returned to Nikon having spent several years in the mirrorless camp. Curiosity and the desire for lighter gear were my original motivation for switching. So, when I ...

Ignore. Reading the earlier threads I see that it is indeed possible if you are not fussy about gray market/white box gear.

How is that possible? Are you sure they are legit?

Long story short, I returned it. Drop in IQ was unacceptable to me. Way too noisy, even at lowish ISOs. I was excited by the lens and figured it would compensate for the small sensor, but I was ...

So far, very happy with IQ.

Thanks for the advice. Believe it or not I previously owned the FZ1000, but sold it on a whim. I would have bought it again, but preferred the longer reach and brighter lens of the FZ300, knowing ...

Just got it yesterday and popped out on my lunch break and before leaving for work this morning to give it a spin. Mightily impressed! Here are the results (SOOC):

I may have done that as well but as I was half-blinded shooting into the sun, I only noticed it when I reviewed the pictures at home!

I drive past this field every day on the way to work and couldn't ignore it any longer :-) I would have liked to have cloned out the large leaf (behind the flower), but it's too much work.

Well, I guess that would depend both on your particular needs and your financial circumstances. If you are cash-strapped, it may make more sense to sell gear that you are not using and invest in ...

Straight OOC JPEGs. Still getting used to the bulk again (having moved from M43/Fuji), but initial impressions are quite favorable. Obviously editing could have improved the results (especially ...

Nothing in the printed user guide. I saw that the online user guide for 4.0 does have the firmware version after the title. It's strange because everything was packed as if new and the camera does ...

It is a pretty scene, but I am not seeing the sharpness that others are seeing. The trees at the back look very mushy. Perhaps something happened when you downsized it for web viewing? Or, the ...

Thanks, I'll check when I get home!

Hi, I bought a new X-E2 + 18-55 kit from a reputable ebay store. The camera arrived with FW 4.0 already installed. Should I be suspicious? Thanks, Elchanan

Hmm, I wonder how "informed" became "infrared" in my previous post :-O Cosmetically, I'd give it about a 7/10. The mottled pattern has worn away from the thumb grip and some of the paint has flaked ...

In the end, I purchased a used X-T1 for $550 ($158 more than the used XE-2 I was considering). That left me with even less funds for a lens :-(. Luckily, I came across a mint 18-55 for $261 that I ...

That's easy to believe. Now the presence of aliens on the other hand...:-) Obviously I want both, but having never shot Fuji and currently on a restricted budge until I can offload some of my M43 ...

Wow, so many people willing to help a total stranger. There's hope for humankind yet ;-) Seriously though, it seems that there isn't "one right answer" to my question. I'll re-read the replies over ...

I should have mentioned that I am an experienced hobbyist (20 years +). My head says 18-55, but my heart says 35 - ever happen to you? Damn, decisions, decisions...
