Mirrorless Cameras

One of the limitations for any camera is the shutter speed - and on the Fuji X Series, the shutter speed tops out at 1/4000. Normally this isn't an issue, you rarely even have to think about it. Bu...

Professional documentary wedding photography using the Fujifilm X100S camera

I hate neck straps for cameras. Number one, if you want to take pictures as you walk around, your camera needs to be in your hand, ready to shoot. Second, when a camera is on a neck strap and hangi...

The photographer and blogger Ming Thein wrote a wonderful post back in November 2012 about the creative evolution of a photographer. He identifies four stages (actually five if you include the pre ...

Fuji recently announced the all black X100s and I felt this was my cue to buy myself one, for no other reason than I like black.As a Fuji Pro user for well over a year now (XPro/XE1) it made total sense to have this little camera in my arsenal for general purpose and street photography. My…

The Sigma DP line is quite unique in the compact camera segment. Despite its many flaws including short battery life, slow autofocus and poor high ISO performance in low light, its Foveon sensor is...

I can be a mighty stubborn guy. You see, I have this very clear conception of the X Series cameras, one that’s severely tainted by my initial experiences with the original X100 and the reasons why I first became interested.

It is always exciting to get something new, especially if it makes you stretch your brain a bit or adds a bit of mystery to something you felt you had mastered. Most of us have experienced that in ...

I have a theory as to why we as a species seem to be universally attracted to things like clouds, fireworks, water, trees and flowers; that will be the subject of a much longer philosophical elucid...

My Fujifilm X-E2 review and real-world write up, describing my day to day personal and professional use of the camera.

If you are interested in the upcoming Fuji X-T1 and if you happen to be in Tokyo, Fujifilm is showing off its brand new weather resistant X-mount camera at Midtown's Fujifilm Square. It is there fo...

It amazes me that whenever anybody sees me shooting with a mirrorless camera they usually go on to tell me how they need a full size sensor and lots of megapixels to get a really sharp image. “You must make big prints?” I ask. Usually the answer is that they don’t make any prints from their files. The reality is that sensors of Micro Four-thirds cameras, for example, are one-quarter the size of a full frame (24x36mm) sensor and yet I can still easily make up to 20×30 inch prints.
