Makes sense. And I agree with the Nikon. But maybe I also got used to the Sony Menu which many people hate, and find the RX100 OOC settings much more versatile (I prefer to PP only the more worthy pics and keep a nicer OOC for the others)... I wanted to try a Canon and the 24-100 lens reach made...

Nice pics. Somehow I never warmed to the camera. Maybe it needs a little more PP on my part to enjoy the results, I don't know.

I've never shot with a Fuji and admit I'm curious, but you can customize your Jpegs in so many ways with the RX1r, you can get some really good ones, many keepers. I realized that with my little Canon G7X which I find lacking in JPG settings compared to my RX100MII. But I assume you have more...

Hey christilou, Was also in the RX1 forum, but I have to say that some of your best (if not the best) photos are here! Congratulations! I saw while checking this thread to help me decide if I'll jump on the A7R II or will go to the Oly EM-5 II. I now want something a little longer to...

Thanks for trouble, I did like the reading! But I guess there is no plain agreeing or not, it is all so subjective. First there is perception of the photos one is taking (each eye sees differently), then there is taste, then there is how one expresses it in words. I say that, because I agree...

It may be my bad, but I don't seem yo find the post on your blog, and I'm interested in your experience. Thanks.

Thank you all. It is similar to what I understood, I appreciate the additional clarification! Looks to be the best choice for me!

Some help here (I hope it is not the wrong place to ask): As far as I understand, the main difference between the G7X and the RX100 "Mx" in terms of IQ are: - zooming or in 100% (pixel peeping), the corners of the G7X in 24mm (or close to that) and in 100mm WITH aperture completely open are...

+1 for the "wine mobility"... :-) But one can never go wrong in the most beautiful country there is!

Glad you enjoyed. Yes, Amalfi is one of the most beautiful places anywhere. And it passed the "second trip" test! It's always a risk to come back and ruin an amazing memory. But I liked the second time as much! I do similar PP: Photo Ninja+ NIK. I'll try to isolate the area or soften as...

Yes, I exaggerated the detail/sharpening, I kind of liked the pointilistic/convoluted look when you see the picture a little bigger... kkk I'll try the softening, thanks!

Amalfi This is just a thank you note to Ray, who is always helpful when advice is asked: When I was there at Amalfi I remembered your pictures and was thankful for your comments that helped me decide on my gear! BTW, the second one I kind of like, but I could not manage well PP on the border...

Vatican A different angle to see the Vatican. Summer, 2014.

Little Dames and the Emperor. Rome, Summer 2014.

Lines Nothing major, but I liked to play with the lines, and certain pride with the "Dome", which was handheld with no crop: I couldn't position myself right below the hole, and despite that I got almost prefect symmetry, which IN THIS CASE was part of the attraction to get the photo "right"...

Night shot Woman, searching for light in the City of Popes... (Avignon). DSC00353_v1 pn2 Viveza_edited-2 Ilford

One with PP... DSC00679_v1 pn2 Silver_edited-1 Great cloister of the "Certosa di Pavia".

Has a Great Gatsby quality for sure! BTW, I see many of you use flickr. I'm now setting up my Flickr account, and want a tutorial on how best to upload there, organize stuff, what type of file is best to use etc. And then how to post from there in here... Is there any tutorial around with this...

This looks so vintage. Very cool.

I think, me too. And the unbalance makes the Earth feel rounder, right? :-)

Well, thanks! It was the moon, the camera, and a little patience... I might have straighten the horizon like below, but I don't know which I prefer, there is some charm in not cropping and using whatever you manage to get on spot. Too many easy options in digital photography...

Monaco Monaco at night, 30 sec exposure using a fence as a tripod. What a moon it was.

Hey, thanks, glad you liked it! Like many of yours as well. I have one memory set to "Vivid", with Contrast +1, and Saturation -2, DRO auto, which I use most; the other is set "Vivid", contrast -1, Saturation -1, DRO Off All in Aperture mode, mostly multi centered metering, but that I change...

Italy As I bought my RX1r while doing a major job, before my work ended I could only try to learn about the camera and its possibilities a little. That's what I did reading the manual, and forums. But you have to be on the field to really understand your usage and how much you like it or not...

I know this is a Fuji thread, but since I brought up the "selfie" issue a few pages back, I'll just post one fun picture I took with the help of the tiltable LCD of the NEX 5T coupled with a Rokinon fish eye 8mm, which I eneded up buying. I believe it would be very difficult to get a picture...

Amazon or Backlot...? Just for the fun of it: the backlot of a show I created/run.

hehehe I know you didn't imply that. I was just making fun of myself.

+1 : been doing that before the term was created... People can be deceitful... and we have always to remember somebody wrote their lines, created their characters, and directed them. They may be quite different in person. Been doing that for more than 20 years, still surprise myself, some for...

Tried that also. But then you take the photo almost by chance, and you even cropping later you may not find the best composition or the one you were looking for. thanks

I know self-portraits may look silly and kind of egotistical, I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but it can be fun... (smiles) It's cool on a Film or TV set, and I want to take them better. There are the Jeff Bridges film set pictures as an interesting reference... I tried the Wireless...

I think I like the X-Trans, and would be OK paying the price for it. Just... the LCD, again. It goes up and down, but not to the front as the NEX 5T or 5R, right?

I can see that, and may come to the point you are in later on. But right now I'm not looking for a whole set of lenses and all. I mostly want another smallish nice camera with a Wide Angle lens attached to put into another jacket pocket along with my cameras... and the articulated LCD... I...

Ray, Thank you so much for your explanation. You are very kind to be so detailed in your answers. So it seems not much difference in PP from the RX1, right? Mostly when shooting, with the Velvia setup and the X-Trans by itself. Is that correct to assume? I ask this, because, I maybe wrong...

Maybe other program...

These are beautiful! Really. I was curious to know why you had replaced your RX1 for the X-T1 (you were kind to answer me many questions when I was considering the RX1), now I know... Would you mind explaining a little bit the differences of in camera settings (did you shoot RAW on both, or...

Thanks. And the ghost-like effect on your photo below...

Cool... What type of PP of the first and second to get the colors? The last one is just long exposure to achieve the "ghost" effect? Just trying to learn, appreciate any insight (just general idea, don't have to be thorough) if it is not too much trouble. Thanks

BTW, Ray's example is impressive.

From my experience in Cinema, if the need arises, in darker scenes, the DPs normally prefer to risk overexposing a little bit than to have to push from the black in PP. But that's 35 mm, I don't know if digital is different.

Hey, thanks for the thorough explanation! So no in-camera effect, like "vivid" or the likes?

Lucille, You use a lot of OOC JPEGs, right?. I like your colors. Which settings do you normally use? Or does it change much? Thanks

Quite nice set here and in Flickr! Do you do a lot of PP, or mostly colors, exposure?

Sure, the composition/framing is quite nice, but I loved their "texture". Looks like some PP, except the lady which may be the lighting.

Just to say I took the plunge and bought a RX1r. That was my tendency technically anyway, and I found an OK deal for Brazilian standards. Almost the same I would pay in the US, and here the X100S was not even 30% cheaper, as opposed to less than 50% of the RX1 over there. As i said, this was...

Shane, This quite an old post, but the Bus, the Lady and the "marché" have a sort of almost drawing quality to them that I find quite beautiful. Could you explain how did you do this? Or if you did previously direct me there? Thanks so much.

Thank you everybody. Taking all in. rbelyell, Luke, I'll check out the X100 more. What makes the choice harder is that I don't have the possibility, as Americans do, to play with the camera for a while and then make up my mind. I have to make it up with research and opinions. Luckily, I have...

Hi, You mean buy X100 instead of the X100S and the RX1?

Thanks so much. You are very thorough in your posts and this helps a lot!!! When you say RX1 is "more forgiving", this is very important for me. I'm not that experienced and kind of lazy, and my perception is that the photos I see around from the X100S are much more dependent on the...

Ray, This is my first post. I have this very same doubt right now: I shall buy a new camera in May and am deciding between these two, RX1, X100S, unless something more interesting appear in the meantime, which doesn't seem likely... After more than half a year from the last post, I would like...
