Hi All - seeking some advice / perspectives on a RAW editor for RAF files. There seems to be an offer on pretty much all of them at the minute. I have concluded that Capture One is probably a bit much for me so have narrowed it down to DXO Photolab6, ON1 PhotoRAW and Luminar Neo. I’m not much of...

I find that I am defaulting to ‘M’ which is probably no bad thing if I want to improve! But as you say if it just feels wrong life’s too short to force it, particularly as the XT5 will likely deliver what you want in a familiar package.

Interesting. I have one on a weekend loan and am torn between the dial based approach from the XT's (which I've had for years now) and the PASM on the XH2. In some ways it's more intuitive on the XH2 so I guess my muscle memory is still dialled into years of DSLRs! Plus I have to say the...

@dancook in addition to the above I’d also suggest driving out to Sandwich (20 mins from Canterbury) or Deal (30 mins). For the White Cliffs you might want to drive to St Margaret’s (30 mins) and walking up to South Foreland lighthouse and along to Dover. The dogs will need to be on the lead as...

I bought a Sony RX10 mk4 this summer having for years dismissed superzooms. I'll put that down to arrogance and an ill informed view point! As an all in one package I have been very impressed with its flexibility, image quality etc. Like you I have Fuji kit (XT4 and X100V). Love the X100V and...

I bought a used RX10 mk4 for a recent trip. I was very taken with the all in one solution it offered for travel photography. To the extent where I am now experimenting with it instead of my other kit now I’m home. AF performance, image quality are excellent and the convenience factor cannot be...

Going for #2 too. I like the added context of the habitat.

Not sure my long walks count as hiking! :).However the photography pack that I referred to adds a removable waist belt so with the chest strap you get the benefits of a snug fit for walking. The fact that you can strip it down a touch also makes it good for around town use as you correctly...

Just to add to the advice party, have a look at the WANDRD PRVKE 21. Really well thought out bag and with the photography pack covers pretty much all the bases. RRP can be a little steep but seems to often be on offer.

Hi, yes use this quite a bit for the same reason you mention. I've come to the conclusion that the infrequent times I need to go long the combo suits me just fine. Not sure if you can rent a 2xTC for short period and see for yourself?

Hi All - question about developing RAWs. To date I’ve typically relied on the JPEG output of my X100F but was looking at ways to achieve bether dynamic range in landscape photos. Whilst I think I get the technique around exposing for post processing and I’m starting to understand how to play...

Don't know if you'd classify it as a messenger bag but I use a PD Everyday Sling 10L for this exact combo plus other bits and bobs (like dog poo bags!!).

I tried the H1 on a number of occasions but just couldn’t get comfortable with it in the hand vs the XT-2. As evidenced by the comments from H1 owners, I am clearly in the minority. Not wanting to be a contrarian but it perhaps demonstrates the importance of handling a camera before purchase...

Cameraworld advised that I should not expect to receive my pre-order until early May and may be a little bit later. Nothing said re a potential price rise.

Thanks! Yes, the 'late spring' timeframe was what I was told too.
