    Fuji X70 Owners Thread

    Are you going to keep the X100T? I'm really not sure I need it anymore now I got the X70... I like the OVF/EVF but both cameras seem so close it kind of feels pointless.

    Fuji x100/S/T/F Owners Thread

    I did just that, a little over a year ago. I was very happy with the decision up until very recently. Originally I got an X100S to go on tour with my band with. I didn't want to bring the rather bulky X-T1 with the brilliant 23/1.4. The X100S got very close in performance. So I sold the whole...

    Fuji x100/S/T/F Owners Thread

    Yeah, I just sniped a used one on a German forum (I'm located in Germany right now)... will see how it fares but the smaller form factor and wider focal length really make it an attractive option if IQ and usability are as close to the X100T as everything I've heard and seen suggests they are...

    Fuji x100/S/T/F Owners Thread

    Yeah, the WCL is about to be sold. Probably to fund an X70. Just seems like a very good hiking and backpacking camera, all things considered. Thanks guys!

    Fuji x100/S/T/F Owners Thread

    I used to own the X-T1 with the 14, 10-24, 23, 35 and 56 lenses. Selling all that for the X100S and then T just felt so liberating. Limiting my technical choices forced me to be creative and improved my photography a lot. So I'm somewhat hesitant to "go back". Maybe just the 18 and the 27 (or...

    Fuji x100/S/T/F Owners Thread

    I was thinking about that as well... My neighbour has an X-E2S with the 27mm and it's virtually the same as the X100T in many ways. I could get the 18 and the 27 and have a very compact and capable travel setup with the best of both worlds. But the reviews on the 18 are very mixed and I somehow...

    Fuji x100/S/T/F Owners Thread

    someone talk me out of or into buying an X70. The X100T (and before that the X100S) has been my only camera for over two years now. I love it to bits, and it does everything I need. It fits into coat pockets or the side pocket of my backpack for easy access, and goes on every trip with me. I...

    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    23 and 56 were my favourite lenses by a bit. That's not to say I didn't like the 10-24, 14 and 35... ;)

    Fuji x100

    So I finally bit the bullet and got the X100T. I wanted to stick with the X100S til the next upgrade but I was handed one to shoot with at an event recently and I was very impressed with the AF speed. It's a LOT snappier. I have both here right now so I'm not just imagining this and it's...

    Raw v Jpeg - Blurring the lines ?

    Which is not an argument against cloud storage at all. Apple Photos has a local library that is backed up to iCloud. All your work is done on the local files and synced to iCloud in the background. Other devices tap into the same library from iCloud and store versions optimised for that device...

    Raw v Jpeg - Blurring the lines ?

    Also, the trend towards cloud storage (Dropbox Carousel, Apple Photos, Eye-Fi Cloud etc.) somewhat counteracts the "disk space is getting cheap" argument.

    Raw v Jpeg - Blurring the lines ?

    It all depends... I used to shoot RAW only but a) it made my computer slow, b) not all photos I take are going to be processed heavily (family photos, events, parties etc.) and c) Fuji JPEGs are stupid good. So now I use RAW whenever I shoot "seriously" which is becoming increasingly rare these...

    Beginner Anyone using Apples new "Photos" software ??

    SsSsSsSsSnake: The pedal is gone, sorry. Oh, and you can share to Flickr straight from the Photos app as well, by the way.

    Beginner Anyone using Apples new "Photos" software ??

    It all depends on what you're after... if you're going to need excessive regional editing tools and very detailed colour adjustments, probably not, at least not in the near future. That part of it seems gone. I wouldn't hold my breath and migrate to LR or C1 at this point. I'm just saying, if...

    Beginner Anyone using Apples new "Photos" software ??

    I must be one of the very few Aperture users who actually like it. Yes it's very limiting and doesn't offer anywhere near the same capabilities as Aperture did and no it won't be the only software you'll need if you want professional photo editing. But: iCloud integration and the Library appear...
