    Bad Camera Day

    Can't say I've had one of these before but everything I tried to shoot today seemed to go wrong. I was visiting a partly restored Franciscan Church on the East side of Manchester UK where the interiors were quite dark. Firstly I started shooting with my FF Sony as JPEG only having completely...

    Focus Peaking

    Just been looking at the GX7 specs and wondering if I'm the only one underwhelmed by Focus Peaking. It features on two of my cameras - RX100 and X100S - but frankly it seems to indicate "in focus" over an unexpectedly wide range. Even the X100S split screen focusing aid seems a bother ...

    I didn't believe it

    Just to the North of Notre Dame Paris we found this little bar and stopped for a drink. The Wisteria was real but all those lovely roses were fake I took 3 cameras with me - the G1X ,X100 and RX100. I'm still trying to understand why most of my keepers came from the tiny RX100

    Sony Sony RX100 special website

    Fuji X20 Images really not good news.

    Slowly getting used to the quirks of the X20. I think I have a better handle on why there is so much smearing ; for some reason this camera underexposes low contrast scenes by up to 2 stops and then struggles with the absence of detail in the low lights. I've read that Fuji handles XTrans...

    Fuji X20 first 6 hours

    I'm keeping my X10. After the trauma of the orbs and two journeys back to Fuji I kind of feel attached to it and besides it is almost my perfect compact camera. The X10's only weakness for me was that resolution couldn't quite match my LX5 but those colors and body made up for it. Enter...

    Fiordo

    Spent the last few days going through some old shots and getting better acquainted with Flikr. I found this of Fiordo - just along the coast road from Amalfi , Italy. It's an area we've visited 3 times and never disappointed. Lumix G1, 14-45mm lens

    Canon Duxford , Cambridgeshire

    Visiting Duxford with a friend and former colleague and we were both reminded of our old age when we saw FU hanging from the ceiling. Employed by the then Board of Trade , we had both spent some time in the right hand seat of this de Havilland Dove during our training and were reminded how...

    Canon The Story of the G1X Development

    Rather like the Fuji stories , Canon have produced a brochure giving background information on the G1X. I hadn't seen this before although it may not be new. Links to the PDF file http://tinyurl.com/G1Xdevelop http://www.brochures.canon-europe.com/getFile.php?productid=8592&languageid=-1

    Fuji Default sharpness

    Given all the positive feedback on the Fuji X100 I post this with some trepidation....... I bought my X100 at the start of April having agonized about it for a year. When the prices started to drop , with firmware 1.21 looking good and Fuji announcing a proper fix for their X10 ( which I...

    Canon Showcase G1X Images

    I get the feeling that this camera isn't selling too well. It certainly fails to impress when I hold it , look at its lacklustre focusing and wonder at its dated looks but whenever I get the images back to my computer I realise that this is something special. This is my Fuji X100 with a...

    Canon Canon G1X images - Pearl Harbour

    The National Parks service does a wonderful job looking after this Historic Site and I'd certainly recommend a visit. Just make sure that you allow a full day and go early. When we arrived at 10 am there was already a 4 hour wait to see the Arizona so no time for us as we had other plans...

    Amin , BB et al ....... Any thoughts about which forum should be used for the G1X? It's not exactly a small sensor. When the sun finally comes out I'll post some images but into which forum?

    Fuji Vacances en France and looking for X10 Orbs ( long post )

    Armed only with my X10 and a new lens hood my wife and I set off to a friend's house in Northern France last Friday. This was to be a final test for the dreaded Orbs and to see if the camera was really worth taking on our long haul trip next month. By the time we reached Folkestone to board our...

    Fuji Fuji X10 firmware update!

    The new firmware is out but seems not to have addressed the issue of "Orbs" Fuji says that the ... Blooming (White disk) phenomena, which can be observed in EXR AUTO mode, is reduced. so nothing then about the Orbs that can be observed in every other mode. However they have given us a...

    Hi

    Hello Just joined the forum as the words "serious" and "compact" sound right to me. I've been a camera junkie for decades now and embraced digital as soon as Casio produced their first camera. How things have moved on. Currently using a Leica X1 . Lumix GF-1 and G1 , Leica DLux4 and a Sony...
