anybody went to the Fuji X-Pro1 hands on seminar/workshop?

you shouldn't worry too much about noise. having a super-clean image is only for our own ego.

it will hit your filter if you don't have the adapter ring. if you search back many many pages back I've a detailed explanation on what works and what doesn't.

if you want pinch cap with hood, the cap needs to be 52mm.


same with if you want to make a cheap ring to replace the adapter, just get a cheap cheap 49mm filter, take out the glass and mount it terbalik, and you'll have a makeshift adapter that will fit any 49mm thread accessories. or like me, just get a US0.99 cent 52-49m STEP DOWN ring adapter from ebay (free shipping somemore!), and mount it terbalik.



and to remove the star effect at lightsource in your photos, under lightroom just increase the clarity setting.

Old vs new firmware difference.... impressive!




For those who are too lazy to find my posts, these are some of the things that you can do with your X100:

tips for buying battery

1. if it's from an unknown cina-mali brand, it's definitely fake, or can't retain the charge as long as the original.

2. if the capacity from an unknown cina-mali brand is higher than the original battery, AND CHEAPER, it definitely won't retain the power as long as the original, AND it's almost always have a lower mAh rating. check the weight, it should be heavier. that's your best bet.

get the SDXC version if you have the cash, it really helps with the speed.

haha i wouldn't get something like a memory card thru ebay, way too many sandisk fakes around.

1.20


although the reviews by past sellers are a good indication, you can even buy reviews or positive ebay marks in ebay itself




my logic is this: spend 4k on a camera, but wanna save rm20-40 for it to work (for the mem card)............. win?

oooh, i have the silver/metal-coloured one, the brass one hmmmmm just doesn't seem right. But RM25 ok la, can COD?

if you have the money, anything's possible.

or this

meh, no such thing as "overpriced" ler. if i want to sell a water bottle for a million bucks, i can. if you want to pay 2 million for it, you can.

it can (thereotically) be "overpriced" if they set a price, and nobody buys it. but this is not the case.

and if it is indeed "overpriced" to you, then you are simply not their market la. so move on with your life already

Xpro1 for beginners? lol comparing G1x with X100

Yeah. International price: RM1k.

Fuji Msia's price: RM1.5k. Sure one lah.

the bigger the filesize, the longer it takes to copy, thus the more battery power it needs. obviously writing a 30mb file will take more power and longer than 3mb file..... simple wat.

L is large size, S is erm... standard i think?

RAW + something is only useful if you want two copies of the same file, one in jpg and another in RAW for further editing. if you use lightroom, it still doesn't support X100's raw file editing. Most of the time I get by with just editing X100 jpegs using lightroom, seems close enough. I don't do studio photography or anything too complex that needs RAW. If the lighting is too dark then maybe I use raw.

3.4 and below will open RAW files, but there are few things that it doesn't support, or broken. i don't remember the full details, but one thing that i do remember is opening an x100 RAW in lightroom and silkypix and noticing that lightroom will not read the exposure (meaning underexpose the pic). and something about no proper/default/official camera profile for x100. lightroom 3.4.1 and 4 supposedly will/has fix this, but this too i'm not so sure.

edit: also remembered something about LR not fully supporting/converting x100's DR100/200/400 setting correctly. although you have to understand that RAW file is supposed to look "uglier" than jpegs since there are no in-camera post-processing (auto brightness or whatever) being done to them. while in certain conditions it's better to have RAW than just jpegs, most of the time i get by with editing x100 jpegs just fine.

don't get AA straps imo. many of the leather ones that they have there are of a low quality one. it's durable i must say, but really la you have to spend $$$$$ for something of a high quality version. if so then might as well go and get Luigi's wat.

high shutter, average f stop
