I’ve been holding off on my Fujifilm x100s review for quite some time now. I’ve used it in a multitude of ways that I can think possible. I haven’t done everything yet and am learning from other x100s...

I shoot fujifilm exclusively; I use two X-Pro 1’s and a X100s for my wedding work and travels.
Heather Broster's insight:
An interesting albeit technical overview of focusing with the OVF.

So, what of A7R? It definitely pushes all my important buttons. Fantastic detail thanks to its 36Mp sensor. Great IQ otherwise (colors, contrast, DR, noise). No major no-nos in handling. Larger than a NEX7 or an RX-1, but still totally portable. What makes it laughably superior to its competition is that it, with its 35mm FE f:2.8 lens, weighs less than the latest Olympus OM-D with comparable 17mm f:1.4 (same effective focal length, same light-gathering ability). Yet the sensor is very, very much larger and better…

For those interested in the technical details, these were all taken with a Fuji XE1 and 35mm lens, except for the last shot which was taken with a X100.

You’ll notice a theme here: it really comes down to the lenses. This puts me in a bit of a dilemma: I don’t know whether to go out and buy one, or stick to my D800Es. Let me explain why: on one hand, the A7R unquestionably raises the bar when it comes to the quality/ portability equation; yet it has an extremely limited shooting envelope because of its demands on stability/ shutter speed, and very limited native lenses – just 35mm and 55mm so far – that can make the most of that potential. Perhaps the most telling question would be whether I missed the D800E/ Otus combination when using the A7R/55...

Given the compact size, light weight, and faster aperture, I’d say the FUJINON XF 18mm ƒ/2 was made with street photographers in mind, more so than landscape fans... The FUJINON XF 14mm ƒ/2.8 is stellar, and a must-have for Fuji landscapers. While bigger than the 18mm, it’s still relatively small and lightweight. It also provides excellent handling and super sharp images. It currently its own spot in my Billingham.

After a 2 year production cycle, Fujifilm upgraded the revolutionary X100 and introduced the X100S. The X100 was the reason I bought my first digital Fuji camera a little over 2 years ago and it has turned me into a loyal customer, also buying the X10 and X-Pro 1. The X100 was also the first camera that I preordered without ever holding it in my hands or reading a single review (there were no reviews at the time I preordered).

My Sony a7 review. Check my thoughts here on the new 24Mpx full-trame mirrorless camera from Sony - the a7, or ILCE-7 as Sony call it!

A very good write-up about the A7.

For me personally, I’m glad to have both. Because I shoot weddings and portraits and depend on my gear to get the job done, I feel like I need the X-E2. However, it’s not so compellingly better that I felt the need to sell my X-E1 and replace it with a second X-E2 (if you’re getting paid, you DO have a backup body, right??). Generally I find them to be complementary bodies, and aside from a few cases of moved cheese (I’m looking at you, Q button), there’s not a lot of cognitive dissonance going back and forth between the two.
Heather Broster's insight:
Wonderful, concise article written in a way that keeps you reading until the end.

m4/3 has been around for a while now. Initially praised for its small size there are now some options around that could be seen as having a professional capability. But do they, or is that just wishful thinking?

Maybe it’s because I had been using fully weather-sealed (semi-)pro bodies and lenses from Nikon for the past 5 years, or simply because I live in Canada, but I don’t ever give a second thought to bringing my camera gear out in the temperatures we get during the winter.

I'm really happy I followed my heart, sold my Canon 6d and got myself the Fujifilm X-E2 camera. It just feels like coming home.. I just got it with the two lenses I had with my X-Pro1 setup: the 14mm f/2.8 and the 35mm f/1.4...

The Ricoh GR is a seemingly simple, point and shoot camera that packs a big sensor, a sharp lens, excellent ergonomics and plenty of manual controls into a body that looks plain enough to make it easy to mistake it for a much simpler and less capable camera (stealth). I’ve been using it for a while and I can say without question that it is one of the finest, most enjoyable cameras I’ve ever used, bar none. I love this camera.

I am a freelance photographer living in Southampton, England. this Tumblr site is dedicated the work I do with the Fujifilm X-Pro1.

As I said at the beginning of this article, I am a happy Fuji user, especially of the X-Pro1. The perfect tool does probably not exist in any specialty. Neither does the single camera for all situations. My needs focus on “street” and large percentage of people photography. We will always want more in terms of technology, competence and our particular needs. Via hpc

This is the second of a series of articles on the Fuji XPRO. The first was addressing what I like the most of the camera. Here we will have a look of what I consider the short comings.. The “Pro” is not a camera to produce instant results. Its few weaknesses appear after continued use. Its undoubted ergonomics are misleading.
