Fuji XF1 Arrived Today And...

We can hope, Armando, we can hope.

Major gas is going on, I thought Armando will be buying a XM1, maybe next

I always use aki-asahi covers, eg on Olympus e-p's, Sony RX1/RX100. If you want more colors for XF1:

Ooo, so we can change our colors! Or maybe so "the missus" and Armando can each choose a color?

Straight Out Of Camera.
Used the EXR High ISO & Low Noise option...ISO 1600 here @ ƒ3.4.

For the record, this is the shot that convinced me to give the XF1 a try.

Don't drag me into your finances!

The XF1 should be quite a little capable camera, especially using it as a 6 mp camera. I have fond memories of the X10. It'll be interesting to shoot at 25mm instead of 28mm though. When using a point and shoot, I just tend to shoot at the widest (and fastest) end.

I see a lot of use at those small, intimate home parties (or at a bar) where even an X100 would be large and out of place. But unsheathe your XF1 and

Right, that's what I'm hoping, Ed...

But hey, we have to blame someone for our financial decisions!

My first serious digital camera was a 6mp Nikon D40 so I have no issues with working with 6mp either

I had the Aki Asahi skin and half case for my EP2. They are very high quality!

I'm resisting the XM1. I just remembered that buying a XM1 would result in TONS more $ on additional lenses as well! So buying fixed lens cameras are safer.

Helpful advice needed

I notice I get less detail on reds off my F660 especially on flowers / petals - sort of blown out smudge is the best description

could someone take photos with the XF1 / X10 of a red flower for comparison please

Any hints how to compensate on camera controls settings?

Hi ReD,
I have trouble with almost every camera I have ever owned regarding blowing out the red channel when shooting red flowers. I don't know what the right solution is. I usually shoot RAW and then desaturate the red channel in post. Some cameras allow adjustment of saturation in JPEG settings, but I don't know about the Fuji. I'll shoot some for you when mine arrives.

South Texas heat has pretty much burned up anything with the name of "flower" around here...Unless it's an agave or prickly pear...

So true! That's why I went for an XF1 now and will probably go for the X100s. I can't afford to build a yet another system. I still have both my Pentax DSLR kit and my micro four-thirds kit. I have to begin unloading some of this stuff soon.

Okay here's one wish for the XF2 or whatever,
I wish you could get some type of power going while in stand-by so you view your images without having the lens element exposed....

 

[BBW]

That's odd. On the X10 all one has to do is hit that little button with the green arrow thingie...don't need to turn it on or extend the lens.

Don't you just press AND hold?

Could be operator error on my part though....

^ same on the F660 (apparently!)
