    Fuji X100s and Classic Chrome?

    The main thing I lust after in the X100T is the new Classic Chrome. There were rumors that Fuji would put it in the X100S through a firmware update but I have not seen any. Does anybody know if this will come, or if I missed an announcement? I checked Fuji's firmware pages. I am not interested...

    Bluebell Time - XE1 +8mm Samyang

    I really like the one with the ferns. In the second shot is all that purple foliage in tree some chromatic aberration? It goes well with the rest of the picture.

    Seattle Cityscape at Night (Looking for Feedback)

    No, I have not tried a gradient in LR. I do have LR but am trying to pick between Aperture and LR and right now I am learning Aperture first (even though basic unforgivable bugs like not being able to reorder projects drive me crazy, I like its full screen UI on my small 13" screen better, and...

    It really is a Miata

    This was not directed at you lightmancer but an observation that this small car somehow polarizes people between those who think it is a great roadster in sheep clothes and those who think only "chicks" and middle aged people drive them. As someone wrote all you need is a twisty road to...

    It really is a Miata

    The Miata always bring [reactions] out of people. I miss mine. It was crashed by a "real man" Ford Explorer driven by a woman who spun right in front of it... In my "neck of the woods" the chicks drive Mustangs and Corvettes. So much for the stereotypes. I still have some nice pictures of a...

    Seattle Cityscape at Night (Looking for Feedback)

    16 seconds at f/8, ISO 200 (Aperture priority). This is part of my very first set of night/long exposure pictures. I would love to get feedback and tips to take better pictures or to process them better. For example, would the city lights have been a bit crisper at a higher ISO and therefore...

    Fuji Suggestions for a P&S

    Regardless of the good pricing, I wouldn't call the E-PM2 a point and shoot and it definitely does not have the form factor, even with the collapsible zoom. (I got an E-PL2 with that same lens from my son for $200; it was refurbished but I count that as new as it came with a one year warranty...

    Fuji X100S "easily done" firmware wish list

    Yes, everything needs to add up to something within what the processor can do. It's tough when you see that for $100 less Olympus can make a camera (the OM-D) with an apparent huge reserve of processing power, doing all of those expensive things like blown colors highlighting, face detection...

    Fuji X100S "easily done" firmware wish list

    What's frustrating is that the camera will tell you a face was detected during review but not during exposure making. I am guessing you want it to focus on said face? It's funny that they do that in cameras that are hundred of $ less (and those also will have GPS or Wi-Fi; I'd pick GPS from...

    Fuji X100S "easily done" firmware wish list

    I am sure we all have a list of things that could be improved in the firmware. Here is mine... I only list things that I (as a software engineer, albeit in a different field) think can be pretty easily done in firmware. The "importance" categories are for me, of course. What is yours? Here's...

    Fuji Apple Support for X-Trans Now Available

    People are posting pictures showing big CA/purple fringing as well as coor bleeding in the Apple version versus none from Adobe's. On the other hand it seems that the colors are richer out of the box.

    Fuji X100s aperture bug ?

    They may have decided that it worked well enough and was not worth a hardware redesign of the lens. Or they did not want to change the experience for all the X100 owners upgrading in hordes. Or maybe they felt it would be more diffcult to use so close to the body. My first thought is more...

    A completely unexciting and unspectacular bridge

    Camera Raw without an Aperture makes sense as it provides a system level service. However, Camera Raw + Aperture + some well down Fuji photographer's showcases/studios would be quite good PR. I also think Apple will keep Aperture. They once were at the mercy of Adobe and that was quite painful...

    A completely unexciting and unspectacular bridge

    Got it. I actually liked Aperture's UI better and its projects were something I could easily understand. Do you the curves in the Enhance brick? I decided to try Lghtroom because I figured that its plugins would be portable and so the plugin I want to play with writing would be available to...

    So I tried with the LR (not Aperture) VSCO presets and there the Tri-X 400 does not have that outrageous look yours have. I basically go (screen captures) from: to: So I am wondering if the presets are so wildly different (I read blogs complaining they are) between LR and Aperture, or if...

    Fuji X100s -- just when I was loosing hope

    Fuji Can anyone refute that Fuji inflates its ISO numbers?

    Dang! I had a feeling this would be the case... I can't wait to get my own X100S, which is planned for delivery this Friday! I hear you on the progresses made by camera makers. We are pretty much buying soon-to-be "obsolete" cameras by the time they hit the shelves (and at a premium price too...

    A completely unexciting and unspectacular bridge

    I guess that is what I was wondering whether you used VSCO simulations. I do not want to spend too crazily as I learn. I have Aperture, and was thinking of getting the $126 Nik suite because I want to do black and white. Not sure I am ready to buy more than that for now. Is that a good approach?

    Very neat. Where does the film simulation come from? Can one add the blue in Aperture directly or do you need something else? Seeking of the Kodak film you used: Kodak Tri-X 400 on Monday

    Fuji Pro Photo Supply in Portland has it least one X100S

    Just got a call from Ryan at Pro Photo Supply in Portland telling me that he had an X100S for me. I called back and left a message saying I do not need it since I found one yesterday. Hopefully this will make someone else happy! Too bad mine is on a five day travel instead of next state :)

    Fuji X100S - Missing brackets; anyone else?

    It is usually a good thing in UI to not make things appear/disappear (rather than graying out) so you know what is out there. Otherwise someone like the OP asks the kind of questions he asked... If it cramps the UI out though one may need to look at other ways to handle that (I haven't seen the...

    Fuji SD card speed for the X100S?

    Yes I think 16Gb is the sweet spot for "no need to worry I have enough capacity most of the time." In JPEG+RAW you get about 24 pictures per Gb, so 150 for 8 Gb and over 300 for 16. That is very plenty. I would also like a wifi card bust their speeds are way behind :( So here too maybe two...

    Fuji Can anyone refute that Fuji inflates its ISO numbers?

    Ok so if the quality ends up being similar to the OM-D, then it will boil down to other factors for people to decide, like the "Fuji colors" or the handling etc. I do understand that one might be disappointed if the quality of the APS-C sensor ends up being about the same as the MFT one...

    Fuji SD card speed for the X100S?

    Okay, thanks. I'll look for a super fast camera. Is there a good site showing WRITE speeds of cards? Advertised specs are difficult an so variable (e.g. Sony's 95 mb/s is a read spec... people say write might be as low as 20-25 mb/s but I haven't seen tests). How big is the X100S buffer? How...

    Fuji SD card speed for the X100S?

    Does anybody know if the X100S has an UHS-1 controller? I also wonder if spending big money on a 95 Mb or 45 Mb card is worth it, or if a "regular" UHS1 is good enough. The latter (e.g. a Sony UHS1 R40 Class 10) is $40 for 64 Gb vs $128 for a 64 Mb Sandisk Extreme Pro! I cannot find tests for it...

    Fuji Linear or circular polarizing filter for the X100S?

    I am a bit confused... I thought that a circular filter was only needed for cameras using a semi transparent mirror, and that therefore I could get a cheaper linear filter (allowing me to buy a better one). But I also found one reference saying that PDAF systems required the circular ones. Was...

    Fuji X100S Filter Adapters

    Sounds good. I can't wait for my camera to show up. I know it is big to be pocketable but truly pocketable cameras do not have the controls I want so this is it. I'll adjust the size of my pockets.

    Fuji X100S Filter Adapters

    Is the JJC adapter bigger than the Fuji or is the 49-52mm step up ring what makes your camera non pocketable? Fitting in a coat pocket is essential to me, and I was looking at the JJC given the prohibitive cost of the Fuji's kit. How is the color match between the JJc and the Fuji (assuming you...

    Fuji Has anybody tried the Toshiba Flashair card in the X100S (or X100)?

    Is it fast enough? (I know... "Define fast enough!") It is Class 6 but I can't find measured speeds. I think it would be great to have such a card to easily share pictures but am not sure what the tradeoff is with, say, everybody's favorite Sandisk Extreme card. Edit: I also see that on a...

    Fuji Where can I buy the new X100s leather case?

    He does, and they seem like a treat, albeit a very expensive one at ~$400 or 1/3 of the price of the camera (though he has a cheaper machine stitched model). I like his tripod screw insert, but wish it were centered. He probably put it where he is because of his "Made in Italy" stamp, but...

    A trip to the Junkyard with the X100

    I think I will be okay with just one lens. I would have three with the OM-D: the 12-50 for weather, a pancake and the body lens cap (because it is fun and tiny). And if I am not, then I will have to borrow the E-PL2 I just bought my son :)

    Fuji X100s vs OMD decisions

    :) I think that extra 1 cm in height and depth does make quite a difference (the X100 has the extra 1cm in width but it seems less important—or maybe I just truly want to return my OM-D for an X100S!) Put a 17mm or 20mm pancake on the OM-D and I think it's even more. To cherrywood yes the X-E1...

    Fuji ISO setting through the command control in the X100S?

    For those who have had an X100S in their hands... Do you know if Fuji has improved the use of the command control compared to, say, the X-E1? It just seems that it would be PERFECT to allow one to have it control ISO (maybe after clicking it so as not to mess with program shift, and/or after the...

    A trip to the Junkyard with the X100

    I have the 12-50mm kit lens. At least for now while I am learning photography and composition, I do not want to have many lenses. Actually, on the OM-D I would probably just want to have two: the 12-50mm so I have something I can just shoot in the Seattle rain without any worry, and a small...

    Fuji X100s vs OMD decisions

    Is it? I have an OM-D and am thinking of returning it for an X100S for portability. I'd hate to be wrong. I tried the X-E1 and it's too big. But I am pretty sure that the OM-D with a pancake like the the Panasonic 20mm/1.7 is bigger than the X100S. If I believe camerasize.com, a pancake would...

    Very nice photographs. I like how you saturated the colors. I see that you shot with the X100 and the OM-D. I bought an OM-D but am considering returning it for an X100S, hoping that the slightly smaller size, onboard flash and ND filter will make it a camera I can always put in a coat pocket...
