Thanks! No, these are not SOOC jpegs. They are RAWs that I edited in Lightroom, which I did my own manual adjustments on. The soft blacks can be achieved by adjusting the blacks in the Tone Curve in Lightroom.

Howdy folks! With my wife and daughter, I took my X100S along on a train trip through part of Colorado, between Denver and Glenwood Springs. We've never ridden the train, so just the getting there and back was as much an adventure as being there! Some of you may enjoy, so feel free to take a...

Oh, I just saw this. Glad I could be helpful!

I posted about it. ISO 1,000 jpeg pushed by 1 and 2/3 stops. Takes a pounding, but looks good to me. Fuji X100S Jpeg Pushed ISO Test - Brian Kraft Photography

Yes, certainly feel free to print the file. And I agree-- the level and detail (AT ISO 1600!!) is amazing. I made a blog post related to high (ish) ISO and what it looks like to dramatically push those JPEG files. Check it out- Fuji X100S Jpeg Pushed ISO Test - Brian Kraft Photography

Oh, I just remembered that I had posted a full-res SOOC jpeg that you can download that was part of a street set I recently posted here- Fuji X100S Street Photography - Brian Kraft Photography You can grab the file from the text section at the beginning of that blog post. That will give you a...

Thank you. I would by no means judge the camera's handling of contrast, micro-contrast, or skin detail by my photos. You should probably look at people posting photos as SOOC to make those types of evaluations.

Thanks, all! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Overall, very sweet little camera.

So, the on-board flash does not let you rear-curtain sync, but you can set an external flash to rear-curtain and it should work... I *think*. I prefer first-curtain syncing in general, so I haven't had a lot of experience with rear with the X100/X100S, but if I remember correctly from testing...

Howdy! I did it this weekend. Photographed a wedding entirely on the X100S- Fuji X100S Wedding Photography - Colorado - Brian Kraft Photography Enjoy! Brian

I did it yesterday. Photographed a full wedding with just the X100S-- http://www.briankraft.com/Blog/fuji-x100s-wedding-photography-colorado/

Thanks for having fun! I've got the results published and they are very interesting! http://www.briankraft.com/Blog/personal/x100s-vs-x100-vs-canon-5d-mark-iii/

Stupid punk rock roommates.

I took a look at a very particular aspect of the RAW vs jpeg comparison in the X100S: http://www.briankraft.com/Blog/personal/fuji-x100s-raw-vs-jpeg/

That's not possible, since some have guessed different answers. I will reveal the answer tomorrow!
