About Photography: Starting the New Year with my Fuji X-E2

About Photography: Starting the New Year with my Fuji X-E2 | Mirrorless Cameras | Scoop.it

I like starting off the new year with an early morning walk camera in hand to see what compositional gems I might find in the residue from the previous night's festivities. This year my camera choice was a no-brainer. It was the same camera I have been grabbing for all such occasions where I want the freedom of a small and light system coupled with the versatility of a wide assortment of focal lengths and excellent optics. That boiled down to a Fuji X-E2 and two zooms, the 18-55mm and 55-200mm -- easy enough to stick one on the camera and the other in a jacket pocket.

Fuji vs. Fuji - X100S vs. 23mm ƒ/1.4

Fuji vs. Fuji - X100S vs. 23mm ƒ/1.4 | Mirrorless Cameras | Scoop.it

Overall, the FUJINON XF 23mm ƒ/1.4 outperforms the X100S in my tests. This is to be expected given the lens retails for 70% of what the X100S does at the time of writing. The X100S holds its own though and things like the built-in ND filter, leaf shutter, and close-focus capabilities might make it worth taking over, or in addition to the 23/1.4. My X100S won’t be going anywhere.

Very nice comparison by Donovan.

The Fujifilml X-Pro 1 VS the big-ass SLR

The Fujifilml X-Pro 1 VS the big-ass SLR | Mirrorless Cameras | Scoop.it

"Smaller is better" and "SLRs are big" and "prisms suck" and "humping sucks" and so on are slung around at Fujifilm fan sites. I wonder if that crowd have ever used an SLR from, say, the 1970's or 80's. The Fujifilm X-Pro 1 happens to be the same size as my Nikon FE, a regular-sized SLR camera. In fact, it is an SLR camera that was never considered that compact or small. People who valued compact cameras turned it down in favour of other cameras, like the Nikon EM.

Heather Broster's insight:

"Today's 'compact' is pretty much yesterday's 'normal'," as ohm says. :-)

Meandering into Mirrorless: First Impressions of the Fujifilm X-Pro1

Meandering into Mirrorless: First Impressions of the Fujifilm X-Pro1 | Mirrorless Cameras | Scoop.it

Have I stopped dragging all my kit with me? Nope. Now I drag all my kit plus the X-Pro1 and it’s two lenses. This is not because the X-Pro1 can’t perform (because it really can), it’s just because I am who I am, giant bag of camera kit and all. That being said, it’s been my only camera a few times and I have loved using it.

X-A1 Review: a little surprise | Mirrorless Cameras | Scoop.it

This camera is not aimed at pro's or higher level photographers like myself, and they would be pixel peeping and judging it against the higher-end cameras. I felt that was unjust to the camera. So what I did for this review, was handing it to my cousin...
