Hi all. Need all of your kind opinion.

Dilemma.

Is it worth it if i let go my d300s + 3 fast lens + 2 flash gun for a Xpro1 + 35 + 18 ?

previously i was 60% hobbyist 40% doing part time photo. but now thinking to migrate 99% hobbyist. been using GF2 for a while i it fits my need especially during travel.

the two latest post are from GF2 http://oh-jimi.tumblr.com/ and the rest are from d300s or d200 or d50

been eyeing for X100 too but worry about the auto focus issue. plus the fixed lens, as the camera will be the only one camera for me, not as a second body.

its not about migrating to different brand. im with nikon (currently) but if people ask me what to buy i advice them to go with canon.

NISMOgan! i totally 100% agree with you! hehe very understanding my inner dilemma =) X100 slow AF is the biggest issue for me right now. BUT i never get my hand on the camera so not sure how 'slow' is slow ..

right now considering whether i can live with 18mm and 35mm ..no problem with the prime/fixed lens but prefer to have 14mm n 23mm instead. please fuji please.

Hi all, just one simple question, should I buy X-E1 now, or hold until the price bit 'stable' ?

Been eyeing for the X series since the X100, then X-Pro1, and now the seXy-onE.

All have sold my d300s and other gears sweat.gif

You can try Boeing... Saw a black one in Empire. Was informed they also have two silvers in stock as well.

I got my XE-1 a few weeks back with the XF 35mm F1.4. I can say that i'm loving it. Previously I was using a D90 and the new XE-1 comes in a great size and a lot easier to take around.

Focus takes a bit to get used to. Sometimes it hunts around and sometimes it gets the focus outright wrong. But the image quality makes it worth it and the focusing is something that you learn to compensate for after a while.

I'll post some pics here. All straight JPEGs without any post-processing.
