Probably a lot of it is just due to my lack of experience in PP especially since I only used DPP for canon. I can't imagine how I'd even begin to manipulate the canon files to make them look as organic and vibrant as fuji though. Not saying better just clearly different to my eyes. Anyway the...

Fair point. Got the x100s today and even though I have a lot of learning to do but I've already got a few pics that are just alive with color in a way that I could never get with the canon DSCF8937c by blazingstarre, on Flickr

Went for a refurb x100s in the end, was a very good price with voucher code from fuji. Should be here tomorrow. Will be interesting to see how it compares to the EOS M, very different beasts I'm sure. Many thanks again for all the advice.

Many thanks Jolyon, will look into those options for just the body. Very interesting you say the IQ is better than the original M, I've heard others say there is not a lot in it other than higher ISO abilities. I find the M very grainy over 800. I always shoot raw and use canon's own software...

Thanks for doing that Furtim :) Very interesting indeed. I think fuji recommends stopping down to f 4 for close ups. But it seems the x100 will focus closer than the m3 so that would make up the ground between the two in background blur in theory. Sooo not sure if that 2 stop difference would be...

Yes, I'm very tempted by the m3. Trouble is you can't just buy the body and its a lot of money for something that I don't know will be any better image wise than what I've got. I'm also kind of enamoured by the gritty yet sharp and three dimensional images I see from fuji and ricoh gr. Hmmmmm...

Thanks for the advice Furtim. I've heard the x100s is very soft wide open at close focus. The 22mm eos m is very sharp. I particularly like to take close up shots with a wider context. I pretty much stick to one lens so if x100 is good for close up I would be happy.

Hi, I love my little eos m and 22mm but it has its limitations so I'm looking for an upgrade. Main thing I don't like about it is the slightly plasticky unfilmlike colours compared to Fuji for example. Slow focus not tooo much of a problem for me but I'd obviously like better. Things I like...

Couple more shots then this thread is going the way of Mr. skellington here cos I'm sure its just not the done thing to have a whole thread devoted to myself?!! :pompous: Oops just realised i'd posted one twice in different edits. IMG_311533 by blazingstarre, on Flickr IMG_31153 by...

Thanks Rog. Though I bet if I had an expensive camera and a windmill to hand I'd be just as bad as the rest of em ;) ( if I could be arsed to get out of bed for the golden hour that is )

Don't worry, its hardly 'M' specific. I wouldn't respond to such a ludicrous thread with such absurd photos either, best just ignore it till it goes away is my advice to everyone.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of this thread ;) may I present to you the latest misshapen fruit of my ill conceived indoor photographic forrays. Behold - 'Hiddles and Hellion' IMG_3052b24 by blazingstarre, on Flickr

Many thanks for the nice comments. Apparently the clouds were mentioned on the local news the next day so quite a rare phenomena I guess.

I like that the bird is indistinct, it adds to the atmosphere of the photo.

Well, I'm learning something, I hadn't heard of either mammatus or lenticular clouds before yesterday :)
