I've taken a look at those FX1000's raw files with RPP, and I must say I'm impressed, at 3200iso it's quite good (much better than the dpr's comparison image). I don't know how RPP can manage that raw but it does...

By the evergreen X20

Just a short un-philosophically informed note. Or is it philosophically uninformed, sorry for the pidgin english... What we see (like or dislike) is educated. It depends on what we have seen and what has been teached/told us is good or bad. Try to explain what blue, red or... grain are to a...

Beautiful thread.

Phoenix, wonderful!!! Hey, 1.4! This camera isn't up to shoot sports, is it... :rolleyes: Update, seen right now. The bit of text behind. At first sight, you read "cade". "Cade" in Italian means "he falls". :D LOL

Nicely said. Someone's still thinking the old film way, while now we have three variables and one nice dial to trick the light-meter. Fix two variables, have the third auto-set, allow compensation. It works BUT when you fix A and S and this is a miss.

Fuji X20 here. It's the best do it all for my use, great for street, relaxed walk, hiking/climbing and motorbike. Was the X10 before, equally good but with less usable raw.

The samples with that smoothing look terrible. I think fuji should give a choice smooth-don't smooth, but you should also consider if you're really going to shoot portraits at 6400iso in jpeg. If you have to and think to get anything serious, it has to be RAW. But again, it's the usual Fuji's...

Ahem. Sorry to put in some gritty images - street style, but this is indeed the right section... Apart from the street style, this is about animal interactions. And also my first outing with the XF 35 I've just found, used, at a price that makes my X-E1 + kit zoom + 35mm the most affordable...

Supposedly coming? This would be good news... Then, let's say the configurable minimum shutter speed should be really configurable, not up to 1/125 only (ask Ray...). Also, DR auto could be enabled in M mode too, when in auto iso. And a forced minimum iso could find its use too (in an auto iso...

Same as Leica elmar, I think. Other images as I get them... first signs by onreb, on Flickr

I am ready to see one or more APS-C (or generally bigger that it used to be) fixed zoom "compacts" from various makers, but I can't imagine a truly pocketable "good zoom". There are some optically fine small zooms for bigger sensors, but I don't think they can indeed be said good and for sure...

Market day. It means many people on the streets of this otherways calm place. I needed some shutter terapy, these are my X20 - zone focused - liberally handled results. PP with Silver efex. Thanks for viewing. Cheers, Alessandro. man with hoover by onreb, on Flickr rose by onreb, on...

Ok, cialis helped... (i mean the soon to be removed spam up here). I got my shop to replace the camera. It's taken a week, I've had to get upset and quote parts of the law. In the end, friends again, but they are actually having a dispute with the distributor, who's not helping. They confirm to...

Yes of course. He's hiding behind the distributor's policy. But again, our European law protects him too, cause in a case like this he could force the distributor to comply with the law itself. Of course this would require some lawyer's work, so each character in this comedy is trying to charge...

What about being happy to have bought new to use it, and then wait one month. Sorry but we actually have a specific law that says I can ask for replacement. And if it is new but has to be fixed, ask Apple. It is called reconditioned, and sold for less. For the rest, I perfectly understand a...

Yes we have, Gordon. Same European law as in countries behaving way better. It's the deep nature of people to make a difference. If I simply remind a legal obligation, I'm going to see upset people yelling at me. Don't know how up to date with our internal situation you are. There's a guy with...

Ditto. I love the camera and own an X20 too. I have the right to ask for a replacement and they risk to loose a customer and to have bad reports on the web. I have read the EC consumer law and understood I have to blame the seller, but the Italian distributor (by way of its after sales service)...

Where? My simpaties

Here's a copy of what I'm going to send to Fuji Europe: To FUJIFILM Europe GmbH - Heesenstrasse 31 D-40549 Düsseldorf, Germany Phone: +49 211 5089 0 - Fax: +49 211 5089 344 Good morning. I am going to ask you to analyze this after-sales story that’s happening in Italy. 4-9-2013 I buy a...

Adieu Fuji. See this thread: https://www.fujixspot.com/showthread.php?t=1715 It's Fujifilm Italia's fault: as I know now, they DON'T exchange defective cameras, unless you find the problem instantly, in the shop. After 6 days since having bought it, I know my camera will be repaired, and it...

Thank you for the simpathy. I am so upset by this unbelievable behaviour that I'm ready to send a fax to the Europe Fuji headquarters in Germany too. Of course I understand it's not fuji's fault, but their distributor's policy in Italy is apparently not doing any good to the brand. Unless this...

Thank you. I managed to contact the italian repair center and the after sales service. One says the camera should (or could) have been exchanged, the other says the procedure is to send it to the repair center and wait for response (accelerated times just for me cause I am doing a mess...

Are anyone aware of e-mail addresses where I could complain? They are quite hidden in the fuji site. This stuff made me so nervous I have to give some vent to it.

Bad assistance in Italy Unfortunately, my new X-E1 has a dust particle inside the sensor/glass sandwich. It works this way here in Italy: brand new camera bought at the official shop, it has been sent to the repair center for evauation. They will decide if it has to be replaced or repaired. In...

Could this explain why I'm having a huge increase in spamming on the email address I use on these forums?

Impressive. I'm shooting raw with my new X-E1, but should definitely try the jpgs too. That 18-55 is a jewel, it reminds me my first good lens, an Oly 14-54 (on an E1). It's probably better, cause my 14-54 was a bit soft at the longest end. And it has got a very functional OIS too! Doing some...

Mmmmh. Me too... Got my X-E1 yesterday! :-) Is your (and others) experience documented anywhere? Just out of curiosity.

Extract from the 1941's Italian law on copyright: "a portrait cannot be shown or sold (it's not taken) if it offend's the person's honour, reputation or dignity". Of course it's speaking of photos taken in public spaces. That's it for me. And I don't mean my country's law, I mean my personal...

+1 definitely

I'd posted a funny couple of shots, where fun was the juxtaposition made by the flickr interface. Two shots, with the names of the authors. As anyone can freely see on flickr. I'd put it in the "words/no words" subforum; it looked to fit but here I can be wrong. Now, please: if you're going to...

Indeed, there must be stacking and merging in any case. The two native frames extracted separately using DCRAW are 2848x2144px each. Ever heard of "super-resolution"? You can do with any camera: take multiple shots and merge as median. Micro detail will be added and noise reduced. This way, you...

Well, it's quite complicated stuff... Indeed, its not correct to say it's 6mp, because it's 2x6mp... You should take apart an X10 raw file with DCRAW: you will find two frames, 6mp each. those are combined into one file, but the process to obtain a 4000x3000px file is indeed interpolation. In...

Got X20 after X10. RAW shooter only. Those having problems with foliage and such should look at different developers, the latest versions of Adobe's products are very good but still lacking somewhere. Le's clarify this one: the X10 is an exceptional 6MPx camera, with unrivaled jpg quality and...

Love the fourth one, really.

Yes. I understand it shouldn't be surprising, but that's the effect it has had for me. As I've understood, he's a pro usually shooting dslrs who has actually chosen to do that job with an iphone. It's under "personal" in his site, but nonetheless a big documentary project. For me it's...

Yup, he's featured on NYT lens blog, here's his site where the images are bigger. Brian Sokol | Photographer Guess what the surprise is... Great lesson about photographic gear syndromes, I think...

Thank you very much, Ray, really appreciate. Yes, I'm having quite a good time with this camera. I think it could be a nightmare just for those looking for clean files (it can do, but it's not its speciality...). Raws are very workable, and the mix of auto DR and anti shake (with added movement...

LOL! Second one after you said you're pretending to be kim?

I've got one of those decisive moments. Proud of it; it's quickly gone, I'd just turned the corner, seen, click. Don't exactly know why, this shot has an old school look to me. Sorry for the oversharpened flickr reduction, the original is better. whassup by onreb, on Flickr Same fine street...

LOL! it's sleeves are so tight they are acting as a tourniquet.

Has anyone already written about the other DIY solution, the one that consists in coupling the (off) camera to a vibrating cell-phone? :biggrin:

Just to add a voice out of the choir: I'd never liked the flickr interface. I've restarted using it just before the change because I don't like 500px anymore; lots of stuff I don't like and feedback given only in change of feedback, sort of "please have a look at my work" every time and that...

Really love this one

Yes sorry, I'd edited my post while you were answering. I only looked at the highlight recovery, didn't look at the shadows. This explains why I got a better image in my test, cause the underexposed one was the good one. Any explanation about the exposure of the underexposed image? It seems they...
