X-M1 seems really good deal, if without the lens filter, how much you would get?

Hi! Regarding the thumbs up from Selens, it is shorter compared to MT's. Will take some getting use to.
In the end, no doubt that MT's still the best!
Here is a sample of it attached to the camera :

Any suggestion to edit the first post? smile.gif

Let's make this for everyone, 5 things I'd like to address.

1) Scrap the owner list
2) Introduce the new Fujiclub Malaysia
3) Possible new section for gatherings/sharings (Behind the lens)
4) Facebook Group link
5) Scrap the "premium" title and welcome. X-M1, XA-1, XQ-1.

you can follow canon page, make it short and simple with just a x series picture
or
follow nikon style and put some guide and introduction to x series
but i really think fujifilm is really a 'premium' camera, as i guess rarely people will take fujifilm x series as their first camera, users are mainly from 'heavy' DSLR family or got 'heavily' poison from friend using fujifilm..just suggesting smile.gif

A friendly couple

thank you for your reply on the other thread btw tongue.gif. the frame correction thingy, is it just for the x100s/x-pro 1 or does the x10 have it? from what i remember i didn't see a frame correction thingy.

i think i'm gonna get the x-pro 1 haha. depending on how quickly i manage to sell my camera! if i manage to sell up to the amount for the body + 35mm then i'll buy the x-pro 1 straight to use for cny hehe

Why not try other straps such as Gordy's or Kaza Deluxe smile.gif
Made from leather and almost the same price or cheaper than A&A straps.
http://gordyscamerastraps.com/
http://www.kaza-deluxe.com/detail.php?id=96

As for screen protector, you can buy those "glass type" screen protector from Ebay, I just bought this and waiting for it to arrive. Hoping it will fit the x100s:

Woah really? That road use to be really congested at times so parking would be a problem. Would suggest people to take the LRT and walk a few minutes to reach. smile.gif

Meanwhile, I guess I should be switching to Keat for 23mm purchase. smile.gif

guys. im in dilemma in choosing between em5 and xe1.

im prone to choose xe1 because of it's better colour reproduction.

but when thinking that it doesnt come with in body image stabilization, it demotivated me to buy xe1.im planning to use it with 35mm f2 lens. without ois.

is it really important to have ois? means long exposure shot will be blur.

any advice?

Though both are of different 'type' of cameras, I had a similar dilemma between EM5 and X100S. I chose the X100S in the end.

If image stabilization is a big deal for you, get the em5. It will pair well with the Pana-leica 25mm f1.4 lens. You can get pre-owned for both at a nice price.

If you are keen to go for XE-1/2 with the 35mm, do note that it is actually f1.4 (not f2 as u mentioned) - thus the lack of image stabilization during low light is compensated by the larger aperture. Or you can also get the 18-55 with built in OIS.

Why I chose the Fuji, aside from the stunning image reproduction is the manual control experience - the tactile feel when you fiddle around with the aperture ring, the shutter speed dial, as well as the exposure compensation dial. It gives me a sense of intuitive control.

Just my 2cents, hope it helps to give you a different perspective. My advice is to go try out both cameras and decide for yourself smile.gif

Well, I am using X-E2 + 35mm combo. Pretty good for casual shooting on the street, wedding dinner (again casual only) and close up portrait. The only problem for me now is on the RAW processing which LR wasn't able to demosaicing the x-trans raw nicely. Yet, there are many work around for it, just a bit tedious smile.gif.

Bottom line, it really depends on what you plan to get from your camera. For me, it is all due to weight and lowlight (1 lens for travel). The 35mm f1.4 is around 2.5 stop faster than the 18-55 at 35 (f3.6), but the 18-55 has 2-3 IS stop to compensate. But then, you will lose out on shutter speed which may be important to avoid subject movement.

Therefore, it really depends on your shooting style and budget. But cost wise, getting the X-E2 + 18-55 combo will be lower smile.gif as the lens itself is roughly 50% cheaper.

Mind elaborating on the problem with RAW processing with LR? hmm.gif
Is it because the XE-2 is not supported yet? Or?

I think I will be more comfortable with the kitlens haha, its a pretty good lens to start with~
Perhaps later on only invest in the prime laugh.gif

No worries. Well, for the RAW processing, LR wasn't able to demosaicing the x-trans raw as others bayer raw. In short, the direct RAW converted x-trans files are softer than the jpeg output and the color reproduction is also a little off. I am using LR5.3 RC which listed to support X-E2. This is a typical problem that faces by most of the Fuji X users. If you are not die hard fan of LR or RAW shooter, this is not an issue. But too add on, using Photo Ninja or Iridient (for Mac only) would be a better off in x-trans raw processing which you can get sharper image. When I have some free time, I will post some comparison on LR, PN and OCC files.

I am not sure if you have any experiences in photoshooting. It surely good to start of with kit lens, but no worries the 18-55 is not normal kit. I would say it is a high quality kit as compare to the 16-50. With the kit, you can try to use a fix focus range (i.e. 18mm, 23mm, 35mm or 55mm) to understand if you are comfortable on using either one of those range. Once confirm, then you can pull your trigger on getting one of those prime or the 55-200mm smile.gif. So, go try it out before you make up your decision.

Honestly speaking, I was hoping if fuji will launch a 50-150 f2.8 OIS lens and not overly expensive. Then I can fully retire my canon gear smile.gif.

Besides, if you are a DSLR user, you may need some time to get use to the EVF which personally I feel better on fuji X-E2 EVF as compared to EM-1 or Alpha 7. Not sure why, it is just the feeling blush.gif ...


Oh, not sure if any sifus here were using the EF-42 flash. Was thinking how well is Fuji flash work as compare to canon. Was hoping to use that with the 55-200mm if I cannot hold of my GAS tongue.gif.

Much appreciated!

Looks liked I will be affected by the problem since I use LR alot and I only shoot in RAW haha laugh.gif
So any ideas on whether there will be LR updates to solve this issue? Or its not exactly an issue in the 1st place? hmm.gif

Yeah, I've read reviews on the 18-55 F2.8-4, and I am very impressed with what I've read haha, it should be good enough for me, and what's more, its versatile ^____^

OIS is very important on shooting video....on shooting pic i think is not that essential....
35mm f2 you can set the minimum shutter around 1/125 sec...then auto ISO up to 6400....
i never have blurred shot on x100s with this settings....

You are very much welcome. Well, I would say it is a well known issue with LR and Adobe on handling x-trans raw and I don't think the issue will be fixed anytime soon. But it is not exactly a major issue if you don't mind to alter your raw processing workflow smile.gif.

Take a look on the post below and you will see the diff.
x-trans smearing issue on LR

Again, if you are a mac users, iridient seems to be very good replacement for LR. For window, no choice has to go with Photo Ninja (RAW to TIFF) + LightRoom (TIFF to JPEG) or Capture1.

Really hope that Adobe can work with Fuji to improve LR and Photoshop ability on x-trans.

For fuji camera, I think u can try at Menara axis there (fuji office). The fuji store at the entrance should have most of the model that u are looking for. As for EM-5, u can try at lowyat I guess or the olympus store in mid valey. It is pretty common since EM-1 came out smile.gif.

and one more question, why are not even consider the xe1? the ability to change lens makes it more flexible and futureproof. and how do u accustomed to a zoomless camera?

and any difference between in term of IQ between x trans and x trans ii sensor? hmm.gif

or any sifu can share the experience? notworthy.gif

Some said both raw images from 2 sensors, using different work flows, can produce similar jpeg. That's why I'm asking, if straight out of camera jpeg, is x-m1 really more superior?

hmm... i think it's a long way to go for iso performance and continuous+low light focusing. other than that mirrorless is quite perfect.

I think dslr is for more serious work, while mirrorless is for daily purpose, travel, light and compact, as dslr stil have the advantages of using USM (ultra sonic motor) which can fast focus even in low light ^^ and u wont want to attach something big flash like 580exII or sb900 on ur mirrorless cam right? Haha

If talk about sensor alone, yes nowaday mirrorless is on pair with dslr ^^ me personal eyeing on fuji x100s or the panasonic gx7 as my backup camera. Stil thinking which to grab

Tried my with Canon 430EXii (with other 4 pins covered with tape). Works fine using manual mode on the flash. However, you may want to turn off the "preview exp. in manual mode" under screen set-up when are using flash. Else, it would be pretty tough for you to focus on your object (all blackout) smile.gif. With this option turn off, you will get something like looking through a point and shoot LCD (a bit noisy especially in very dim room but still acceptable to me).

But if i go GX7 , i will take the primes f1.7 only , which is same as x100s fit focal length too , i won't get the kit lens since i already have canon 60D + 17-55mm , the Gx7/x100s will be my backup camera only , so stil deciding

oh really ah? why not considering xe1? it also interchangable lens ma.

the colour reproduction on lumix gx7 in my opinion is not that good as compared to fuji cameras.

then the x100s is obviously a better choice? micro 4/3 sensor compared to APSC, f1.7 lens compared to f2, EVF compared to OVF. not to mention the kickass high iso performance from fujifilm.

Had the same dilemma few weeks ago. Eventually bought the X100S as my primary camera, to replace the humble Lumix LX3 (a very awesome compact).

I chose the X100s over XE1 due to the smaller footprint - easier to manage and store. It's also equivalent to the 35mm focal length. If I were to buy the XE1, I would be using the 35mm prime anyway so I did not mind the fixed focal length of the X100S smile.gif
Besides that, it's RM400-600 cheaper than an XE1 + 35mm.

yes....on m4/3 even f1.7 the DOF is not as shallow as on APSC sensor....which means the f2 on x100s will have better DOF.....more over x100s got hybrid finder....means got ovf and evf together...

Not sure about other lenses but the 35mm 1.4 and 23mm 1.4 is much sharper than the lens on the x100s, but then the lens alone will cost you around 1.7k and 2.7k respectively.
Having this said, the lens on the x100s performs very well for the price you pay.

There are 2 ways for your to change the focal length of the x100/x100s.
1. Use Wide Conversion Lens WCL-X100 - convert ur 23mm to 19mm (or 28.5mm FF equiv)
2. Old fashion way, zoom with your feet tongue.gif

Please take note that, x100/x100s has 23mm lens which is 34.5mm equiv in FF. Where as 35mm on X cameras is equal to 52.5mm equiv in FF. So be extra careful when you deciding on x100s or X series which you need to know which focal length that you will be using most of the time.

One of the reason why I opt for XE-2 with 35mm is because I am not used to the focal length of the x100s smile.gif. Prefer to have a bit of distance btw myself and the subject rather than shoting very close to it. Beside, the EVF on X-E2 was very nice, and I don't really miss my dslr OVF so far but this is really a personal preference.

Size wise, you will be surprise that both of that are about the same dimension. The only diff is on the lens size. If you slap a 27mm pancake on X-E2, I would say the are about the same as well. So bottom line it is really come down budget.

zoom with your feet...prime lens is superior than zoom in terms of image quality for sure....
at the same time, the fixed focal length makes you focus on 1 composition so it can easily trained you to have consistent angle shot...slowly you will get to optimised the focal length well without rely on zoom in or out...

Fuji X100 is a camera you like it to your deep heart or use it once is on eBay already, is not a camera for everyone, but once it suit your photography style then it is your shooting buddy

Zoom lens are good when you need the extra reach for wider or tighter view. But this happen to me, let say i have the 18-55mm kit lens, i always use to 18mm or 55mm end and rarely use the middle range, and i have to think what zoom range i have to use to shoot my subject. So when i select and zoom, i might miss the decisive moment.

So in the end i pick a fixed focal lens, as i roughly know how wide or tight my lens can give me, so when i street shooting, i can roughly preframe my subject with my eye and when my subject is ready, i am ready.

i preframe, when he look towards me, i got my shot

plus i like optical viewfinder, so i vote for the X100/s, why not get the best of both world with its hybrid viewfinder?

i already own samsung nx1000 but im unhappy with the colour reproduction that is my first camera

and most of the time,about 95 percent from my shot is taken is wide angle which is at 20mm and i think this x100s with 23mm is actually will suit my needs as the difference is not that much.

zooming while taking a picture make the photo horrible. nuff said. u cant the actual representation of what u see with ur naked eyes.thats why my shot with the nx1000, i rarely use the zoom function.

and im quite worry if i buy this x100s,i will miss shots as i need to compose and think first before taking the shot.
and also taking picture from a place that limit ur movement from a high rise building and behind a glass wall which also limits ur capability to use feet movement as replacment for a zoomless camera

all the things you worry will slowly lead you to the area where the camera control your limit....
remember you are the one who use the camera, dont let the camera use you instead.....
fixed lens is something you can learn to see the world in consistent perspective....if you wanna shoot the tall building with a very wide lens, but on your hand you dont have the lens, then think again how to optimise the lens you got to get the pic loh....there are just too many possibilities on taking pictures....prime lens is something to let you find out the possibilities that not follow your standard thinking....

i always love what Robert Cappa said:"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.'. He is one of the founder of Magnum Photo who also a very famous leica shooter.

if you worry about things like 'ohh, i need to take that building or subject, but something is in my way', then surely X100s is not for you, you might just poisoned by the camera appearance...

Then talking about getting XE-1, is either 18-55mm kit lens or most probably the 35mm lens, so if getting the 18-55mm lens, is much a superior lens than other kit lens as it aperture opening is much bigger than others, but in the end you might be thinking the lens is still 18mm to 55mm, still the same range from what you get from other C&N kit lens, wide not wide enough, tele not very tele end. But in the end it really depend on what is your shooting style smile.gif

samsung NX1000 is a beginner model, dont blame the camera for not giving good result, say if you finally get the X100s in hand, then you might just asking why the picture is not what you wanted or something and say i cannot zoom with my X100s, so i shoot something like this and etc. So live with what you have in hand or else the best camera is the camera you dont have.

i basically shoot everything with my X100

Current Canon user here... been wanted to switch to mirrorless, eyeing fujifilm for awhile, X-E2 seems like a good place to start. if it has a tilt screen it would have been perfect for my need. Anyway, just want to check with you guys on something:

1. between XF23mm and XF27mm, which do you prefer for candid/street photography? planning to get one prime with the kit lens and wait for 10-20 to come.

2. i know X-E2 are not really meant for Video, but at the very least the video feature of it is more than enough for general use? need some feedback from user on this as i occasionally do some video.

3. can i shoot a picture (raw or jpeg) and later only apply the film simulation or effect on it? or i have to decide to use it on the spot of shooting?

I haven't got chance to play with one at the moment (that day played with one which is not turned on at the shop), handling feels ok, will go and check it out when i got time to do so.

I don't hv XF23mm but I have XF27mm and XF18mm....

XF27mm is made in china and plastics bulid, XF18mm more solid feel more premium, IQ is slightly better, AF slightly faster in low light....

I'm not saying XF27mm is bad, it's good enuff for me and I think XF23mm would be more superior than XF27mm

look even more better in person bro, i just wished i have the money blush.gif
yes both are manual lenses, but its very easy to use. especially with the help of the focus peaking.

if im not mistaken, i read somewhere that the feel of these touit is not good as fujinon lenses.
i dont know as ive never tried it in person. but according to a video in youtube, the guy hate the focus barrel.
and to me, i love my xf 35mm, super sharp lens. good luck! biggrin.gif

1.) In terms of image quality, 23mm is more superior. In terms of candid or street shooting, no doubt 23mm is much suitable since 35mm effective focal length is classic perspective of street shooting....another focal length is 50mm....so you can measure yourself....

2.) I never touched xe2 before but i saw all the sample videos it is quite good for normal recording..

3.) you can shoot raw + jepg together.....then the in camera allows you to change film simulation on the raw and convert it to jpeg...

thanks... i will try out the 23mm if i have a chance.

from youtube the video quality seems ok, just wonder any actual user has any specific comment about it or not.

good to know about this. wonder how many of you shoot jpeg straight, and how many on RAW as the OOC jpeg quality is already pretty impressive as of what i see from the web...

FF is surely have some advantage when come to noise control and depth of field. But noise control has advanced so much recently that aps-c is catching up. As for depth of field... Is pretty subjective. But for me aps-c + a fast prime is already more than enough tomplay already

In a recent comparison (XE-2 vs A7) done by admiringlight shows that the noise performance came to a close call.

hehe, finally got it! New X-Pro 1 user here! with 35mm f/1.4, Samyang 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye and EF-20. also bought the Match Technical soft shutter release & Artisan & Artisan leather strap at YL just now.

btw, the 23mm and 35mm what are the differences except for the focal length? i tested out the 23mm at YL Camera just now, it feels more solid and its a bit bigger. and also with the cool push the focus ring to AF/MF (took me 5mins to figure out why it was in MF haha)

I just got my X-E2 on Saturday, with Kit Lens. Will probably upgrade with 23mm and the 10-24mm in near future. Played with it for awhile and it is really quite impressive. Previously been using Canon 50D and G1X all the time, so here are some of my thoughts of the shortcoming of X-E2:

1. No tilted screen - it would have been perfect if there's a articulate screen on it to provide more options on creativity.
2. No built in ND filter - with the base ISO at only 200 (i know there's an expansion to lower ISO, but I'm talking about the general usage region) it is a little too high for broad daylight. Hence, if there's a built in ND filter it would have been very nice.
3. Base ISO 100 - I would prefer the base ISO to be 100, and expandable to ISO 50... somehow I often will use ISO100
4. Not enough customizable button - simply not enough! well this is just my personal problem. would glad to see myself being able to customize what to display in "drive" and "Q" button as well... then it would be a dream camera to use.
5. Weather seal - not a must, but if it has some minimal form of weather seal, i would be glad to take it for a shot in the drizzle.
6. Limited wifi functionality - new feature, expect it to improve over time. hope it will feature remote shooting, like what Canon is doing now.
7. Grip can be better - you really need to consider the optional hand grip if you want to shoot for long time or want a stable hold of the camera, especially if you are attaching big guns like 55-200mm.

To look at it, actually nothing major, probably is just that I'm used to certain things from my past camera. Will try to develop myself to adapt and explore more possibility of this new camera that I owned.

The bright side? The EVF is so good that I don't even miss my OVF for now. I don't do a lot of sports or tracking, so it is ok. Overall lighter and smaller package, speedy enough, AF is good, will share more about it after I abuse it for longer period.
Cheers!

after getting the x-pro 1 (moving from the 60D), the biggest thing I miss is also the articulating screen! I actually use it quite a lot for low angled shots and huge group selfies with my fisheye. I like the EVF a lot too, its really bright and it has all the info there (even the quick menu which was really cool, but i think it's easier to change just by looking at the screen). It lags when you move the camera quickly but honestly I don't see a problem with that as I too don't use it for sports haha.

I think their grip is meant to be like that to make the camera not too bulky like a DSLR.. for me i found it really awkward too to hold the camera after having such a nice grip on the 60D but I think it's not such a big issue, can adapt tongue.gif. I haven't had the chance to try the optional grip yet as they told me i can't attach it to my camera, only can see and touch. same with the thumbs up too.

the weight and IQ from fuji is really poisoning. but the autofocus is holding me back (i don't shoot sports all the time, but I love capturing actions for some instance), and no cheap telephoto lens too (for example i can get a good 200mm f2.8L from canon at around rm2k which offers excellent IQ and autofocus), same to the lack of good macro lens (the 60mm is nice and tiny, but has super slow autofocus that is a little too slow for daily shooting and only offers 1:2 magnification and the price is quite expensive, compared to what i can get with canon 100mm macro or tamron 90mm macro).

that said, it's tiring sometimes to bring heavy dslr gears everywhere even mine was just only 550D with a 70-200.

for me it's the same like that. but one day I just decided to just jump ship to Fuji after making up my mind and sticking with it. the logic of having a DSLR (in my mind of course) is if I can get so many lenses, and if I have the funds to, I will get them. a telephoto, a standard wide angle zoom lens, a fisheye, a big ass flash which is like 10x the size of the EF-20/EF-X20 flash. not to mention a big ass bag which will make me feel like i'm migrating to another country (also, as I travel a lot it's a big pain to travel around with my gear.)

why not just bring what I need for the trip? simple.. i always have this thinking that if I have the gear available, why not just bring all with me. who knows maybe I will see the need to use the 70-200 at an indoor function (yes, of course it popped into my mind that I will use it for maybe 1 shot or something). but always I will end up carrying a big bag with me to a dinner. Also there's a case of getting a good tripod and bullhead which can support the weight of my gear, which probably won't be light, won't be cheap & won't be easy to lug around.

now I go out for a simple dinner can just bring my billingham hadley pro with all my gears which is just 1 body 2 lens 1 flash for the weight of probably just the 60d body + 1 lens alone, and i have space in the bag for more stuff too (i was tempted to buy this Sirui tripod I saw at YL which can be folded but it didn't fit into my bag!).

I think it just comes down to the individual haha. I think even some people who can afford to fund both a DSLR system and a system like the fuji x series will have a hard time deciding to bring which camera for an event and end up bringing both! I have seen quite a number tourists while I was in Europe carrying a DSLR w/ a 24-70 or 70-200 and also carrying an x100/x100s/x-pro 1 with them, which i thought was pretty impractical as they will be super tired at the end of the day and not have fun on their holiday! (which is of course my opinion).

yeah, more gears = more frustration. hopefully someday the price of fuji lenses will drop by a bit more. (not all lenses, but a few that are quite overpriced such as the 60mm and 55-250mm)

even the 23mm is not so cheap. its 2.7k! i only bought the xpro1 and 35mm bundle as the guy gave me a good deal for 4.4k for both. so i just paid like 1k for the 35mm. now trying to sell the 35mm for a bit more so i can get the 23mm haha. and yes, the 55-250 is also quite pricey RM2k i think.

I been thinking to sell all my gear for GX7+20mm f1.7 or Fujifilm x100s b4 haha , but stil in decision biggrin.gif

Now what i need is to sell off my 10-22mm + 580exII flash first because i only carry 60D + 1755 f2.8 + 430exII , quite ok when i put this setup in my Passport Sling bag , light weight and won't too bulky as b4 , (85mm keep in house unless need for outdoor portrait)


actually should i get a fujifilm + ultra wide and keep my 60D + a Primes maybe get 50mm/85mm (sell the 17-55mm f2.8, will i regret? sweat.gif )

So when travel i will using fujifilm + uwa and 60D + 50mm or 85mm either 1 for portrait or candid shot ?


my choice would be :

(60d + 10-22mm) + (Fujifilm + 35mm primes) = (sell 17-55mm f2.8 and 85mm f1.8)

(60d + 50mm/85mm) + (fujifilm + ultra wide) = (sell 10-22mm , sell 17-55mm f2.8)

yeah, some of the prices are really crazy. even FF samyang 24mm f1.4 costs less than that (maybe not as sharp as the fuji, but how much else you should ask for a 1.5k f1.4 lens). A XE-2 + 23mm would costs almost the same as a 6D + samyang 24mm which is quite crazy.

i would suggest the first combo, since the 10-22 is a really good lens and fuji's 35mm is quite cheap also.

yeah bro but the samyang 24mm is manual lens ma, I would rather spend 1.2k more to get the fuji's 23 1.4. manual focusing is quite fun actually, especially with the peak mode, but it'll take a bit more time to take a photo, then if have to ask people to help me take a photo if i want to be in the photo then people dunno how to manual focus. i think its not worth the trouble haha (of course people who always use mf will disagree, but that's just me haha).

I agree with mingyuyu, the 60D+ 10-22 and fuji with 35mm is a good combo. right now my setup is x-pro 1 with 35mm (planning to sell and get 23mm soon) + 8mm fisheye for wide photos.

actually i was thinking about this beforehand.. i played with the x100s which has the 23mm length and i thought that this length is just nice for me..not too wide not too tele. with my 60d setup i'm with the 17-40 and more often than not i'm towards the wide end. of course la easy to say so lazy why not just take 5 step back 35mm become 23m, but what if i in not so wide room and i'm already with my back against the wall? to make 23mm become 35mm is ok ma, can walk forward 5steps, to make 35mm become 23mm a bit difficult if space is limited.

also, this is actually my first time using just primes haha. now i understand why people say with primes you actually learn how to compose your shots properly. you can't zoom, need to move to find the shot you want. but i like it a lot, i like the weight too. i can go hawker stall bring my x-pro 1 and people won't stare at me (except for photography enthusiasts la they recognise x-series which i think attracts the attention of a lot of photography enthusiasts)

That the reason too why I want a compact camera, bring a 60d + 1755 to a restaurant like first anniversary, me or my wife birthday dinner is quite big size, ppl will pay attention on ur bulky camera haha

Either I go 60d + primes and sell my 1755 , but alot of my fren stop me to do so haha, say wasted if sell the 1755, should keep it and get a GX7 + 23mm or x100/s or xe1+35

Sometime its so hard to make decision

its the same for me lo haha. i go simple family/friends dinner if i want to take just 1 or 2 shots need to lug a big dslr with 2 lenses(my 17-40 and samyang fisheye) and 1 flash and i will have to carry a heavy bag all the time, and if wanna go somewhere after that yumcha cannot leave in car coz not safe, then need to carry with me also haha.

the x100s is pretty good actually, i really like the shutter sound and the look of the camera! i was so indecisive between the xpro1 and x100s then i googled for my favourite lens to use(samyang 8mm fisheye) to check whether got fuji x mount or not and turns out they do have it! so after that i straightaway decided and told the seller that confirm i want the x-pro 1.

and yes lo, even though dslr so common everywhere now, people will still stare at your setup and automatically think you are rich. also you will be easy target for snatch thief & robber.

yeah bro but the samyang 24mm is manual lens ma, I would rather spend 1.2k more to get the fuji's 23 1.4. manual focusing is quite fun actually, especially with the peak mode, but it'll take a bit more time to take a photo, then if have to ask people to help me take a photo if i want to be in the photo then people dunno how to manual focus. i think its not worth the trouble haha (of course people who always use mf will disagree, but that's just me haha).

I agree with mingyuyu, the 60D+ 10-22 and fuji with 35mm is a good combo. right now my setup is x-pro 1 with 35mm (planning to sell and get 23mm soon) + 8mm fisheye for wide photos.

but 24mm wideness and f1.4 at FF is really poisoning, can do some super low light photography in almost pitch black condition yet still get clean pictures (but would be a pain to focus tongue.gif)

the x100s is very poisoning also, but i am afraid 23mm might be not enough for landscape. too wide for closeup portrait also, but perfect for streets and travel. can only afford 2nd hand x100 for now, but I don't want get any more body/ lenses unless I can sell something in my current lineup away.

yes bro but you see your 1st and 3rd comment haha. 24mm is really wide on FF yes that's very true, but you'll have to buy ANOTHER lens to use for portrait if you're going with the idea that 23mm is too wide for closeup portrait.

I played with the 23mm lens when I was with YL and I was like damn, I didn't realise the 35mm is so tight haha. for the not-wide-enough part, that's where my fisheye comes in. sure, some people dislike the distorted look but for the samyang, for far away objects the distortion isn't that much actually. and i love that i don't have to ask people to take the photo for me, i can just snap the fisheye on, tell my whole family of 6 people to stand behind me and we can take our family photo + the background + so much more. but the only thing now is that i don't have the articulating screen to compose my shot sad.gif

yeah, but i can change lens on DSLR, but no on the x100s. it will be good enough for full body shots though.

@kernel123 : honestly, i don't know also. the guy who sold me the x-pro 1 also recommended me to take a look at the xe1/2 if i don't really care about the ovf. i just don't know haha. the xe/xa/xm and whatever series never really appealed to me, only the x100/x100s and x-pro 1. and I think I tried the xe1 but felt that it was too small in my hands so its a bit difficult to hold so i decided against it. but i can't rmb whether it was the xe series or not, its the first one they released after the x100/x-pro 1 to not have the viewfinder.

@mingyuyu oh i thought you were talking about x-pro 1, my bad haha. but then again, it comes back to the part about changing lenses. if we have the option, have the lens, we will want to bring all our arsenal of lenses with us so we can take the shots we want. 1 uwa for landscape, 1 wide angle standard zoom for normal use, 1 telephoto for sports, etc, 1 prime for portraits, wtv. if we have the option, we will opt for it, we will feel the "need" to have more lenses.

I decided to change my setup so even if I feel like I "need" another lens, i won't have the option so I won't want to fork out more money to spend more and just make do with what I have and enjoy taking photos without worrying about people eyeing my setup and carrying a bag which is 5-10kg when i am on an outing with my family or friends.

for me it's the same like that. but one day I just decided to just jump ship to Fuji after making up my mind and sticking with it. the logic of having a DSLR (in my mind of course) is if I can get so many lenses, and if I have the funds to, I will get them. a telephoto, a standard wide angle zoom lens, a fisheye, a big ass flash which is like 10x the size of the EF-20/EF-X20 flash. not to mention a big ass bag which will make me feel like i'm migrating to another country (also, as I travel a lot it's a big pain to travel around with my gear.)

why not just bring what I need for the trip? simple.. i always have this thinking that if I have the gear available, why not just bring all with me. who knows maybe I will see the need to use the 70-200 at an indoor function (yes, of course it popped into my mind that I will use it for maybe 1 shot or something). but always I will end up carrying a big bag with me to a dinner. Also there's a case of getting a good tripod and bullhead which can support the weight of my gear, which probably won't be light, won't be cheap & won't be easy to lug around.

now I go out for a simple dinner can just bring my billingham hadley pro with all my gears which is just 1 body 2 lens 1 flash for the weight of probably just the 60d body + 1 lens alone, and i have space in the bag for more stuff too (i was tempted to buy this Sirui tripod I saw at YL which can be folded but it didn't fit into my bag!).

I think it just comes down to the individual haha. I think even some people who can afford to fund both a DSLR system and a system like the fuji x series will have a hard time deciding to bring which camera for an event and end up bringing both! I have seen quite a number tourists while I was in Europe carrying a DSLR w/ a 24-70 or 70-200 and also carrying an x100/x100s/x-pro 1 with them, which i thought was pretty impractical as they will be super tired at the end of the day and not have fun on their holiday! (which is of course my opinion).

QUOTE(mingyuyu @ Dec 23 2013, 11:27 PM)
yeah, some of the prices are really crazy. even FF samyang 24mm f1.4 costs less than that (maybe not as sharp as the fuji, but how much else you should ask for a 1.5k f1.4 lens). A XE-2 + 23mm would costs almost the same as a 6D + samyang 24mm which is quite crazy.
i would suggest the first combo, since the 10-22 is a really good lens and fuji's 35mm is quite cheap also.

just personal opinion, if plan to use prime, normally want to be discrete... use Fuji better... DSLR + Prime will still attract a lot of attention from people. but if this is not your concern, then either way will do. a lot of DSLR shooter who don feel like letting go of their DSLR system will go for X100/100s as a second body. just like a DSLR second body attached with prime lens. at least it is not at all bulky and a lot of fun to use.

when using DSLR i have never go more than 80mm before as the longest lens i have stops at 85mm... i really don do much of sports or wild life thing. so at the moment not planning to get fuji 55-200mm yet. Will definitely get the 10-24mm, with kit lens 18-55, then maybe add one or two fast prime and i should be able to survive for quite some time. All in all, the investment is surely there, just hope that i can recover most of it from my old gear selling off cry.gif

Depending on what you shoot, actually there're quite some cheap manual lens that can be use with Fuji, which is something i will definitely look into blush.gif Feeling like re-learn all my photography skills and passion after getting the X-E2

I've never used primes with my DSLR tongue.gif. But yes, that's very true, DSLR in general attracts a lot of attention as its bulky and people will immediately mark you as a rich person (even if you're using a d3100 or 450d which cost about the same as a compact). I found it difficult to walk around when I'm having a day trip when I have to carry my DSLR to take photos. Sometimes I'm even too lazy/too afraid to take out my DSLR in some areas that I just use my phone to snap photos.

I haven't actually had the chance to use my x-pro 1 yet haha. only tonight and tomorrow. but i have a feeling that i will enjoy it immensely even without the articulating screen. for me I used my 70-200 quite a lot as I'm doing my piloting course and it's really good to use to take photos of planes and stuff but now as I am done with the course, I thought that once i got back to KL, I will sell my whole set up and jump to Fuji (which I have been eyeing ever since the release of the X100).

Like I said, manual focusing can be fun but for me it's a pass haha. It's way too troublesome for me to learn how to do the right way & it will be a cause for me to buy the f/0.95 lens haha. I really like the leica M series, I had the opportunity to touch(molest whistling.gif ) an M9 some time ago and damn, the feel of it is just really good haha. it feels like a car not like a camera. Even with that said, I still think that I will never get the Leica M even if I could afford it because manual focus is just not my thing haha.

yeap, totally different style of shooting with fuji compared to dslr. there's a really small prime from canon (40mm pancake) and small body (100D) but it's still a little bigger compared to fuji.

also i wanted to ask are there a lot of differences between xe2 and xe1, x100 and x100s? because the price between 2 generations are quite far away.

from what i know is that X100 and X100s has a very big difference, Fujifilm release X100s with more than 70 improvement over the X100 and the most significant is the newer sensor which is without AA filter and defenitely faster AF speed.

But releasing X100s does not really make X100 obselete, example like ipad Air release make the previous gen ipad look like a bigger chunk of tab with whole lot of spec difference. X100 still have its feet and its supporters.

I haven try XE2 yet, but i guess there is a lot of difference for the money you pay for. XE1 is also a good choice as it has to be given continuous firmware update to take in newer lens and Fujifilm will keep assuring XE1 is able to accept newer X lens. Just wish they can improve battery life over firmware upgrade. smile.gif

I prefer focus n recompose... It just too slow to move the af around... tongue.gif

As I know the xm1 got 2 dail right? Is that the dail is control iso and aperture in A mode from the 2 dail?

And have any fast access to change exposure compensation?


Actually what the advantages of nex6 and xm1 haha

in Aperture mode, the top dial give access to change exposure compensation (which I sometimes accidentally dial it), the back dial give access to change aperture value, ISO value can change via Q button....

I love the auto iso function that can set max iso & min shutter speed...

Thx for the information

i'm not too sure which to go yet , because stil in dilemma between X-m1 or sony Nex6 , since the sony lens cheaper alot  biggrin.gif

NEX6 has the advantage of an EVF though which is a great point for me. Tat being said , I feel that Nex6 has white balance issue while Fuji offers more superior IQ.

If you find yurself not using the EVF, then think no more smile.gif

It wont be a issues for me without the EVF, because I think the EVF cant be change focus point right? Because I see youtube video, mostly all EVF have only middle auto focus point. I not really like to focus recompose.


Anyway is that big different between x trans II vs the old one? Hope xm1 wont outdate too soon if I get it now

Any of the X model practically have good IQ even the old X10 or X100. You might wanna skip model without evf/ovf..you'll miss it coming from dslr.

x trans II vs the old one difference is just the II got embed phase detection sensor on it, so it allows faster AF compared to conventional image sensor. i have tested it out both in low light and bright condition, AF is not superbly fast like DSLR, but i don feel it slow or sluggish at all. image quality wise, expect more or less the same with the old version.

X trans sensor (I or II) use different arrangement for the sensor photosite which allows it to do away optical low pass filter, other words sharper image without moire... well, this is what they claim.

AF point selection can be done doesn't matter u are using LCD or EVF. what u see in LCD can be seen in EVF. no difference. just see which one you prefer only.

i have tested the Nex-6 too before decided to go for X-E2. for me, both EVF seems to be good enough, but i never tested the nex-6 under low light, so no comment. but X-E2 evf really work like a charm under low light condition, which is something the X-E1 lack of. in terms of lens, have to agree so far fuji lens and 3rd party X mount lens are expensive. unless you buy manual lens then can be cheaper. but for me I'm ok as the quality of the lens is superb. some of the sony E mount lens just feel not solid (maybe they are meant for entry level or so), but image quality wise, there are some good lens as i heard of from sony user.

go and test the camera out and see which you prefer. and oh, Nex-6 advantage is better grip. the x-E2 retro styling look nice, but when shooting long time your hand grip will feel tired. i need to get the optional grip to solve this problem... cry.gif

Yes you can select the focus point in Xpro1 OVF. But the points are limited compared to the EVF.
In OVF theres only 25 points, while 49 points if you change to EVF.

And XE2 EVF, theres no problem to select the focus point.

Thx guys for the comment

Already place order for the x-m1 as xpro1 and xe2 is out of my budget, I need something that can bring to restaurant, have a small party with family use, my 60d and 1755mm f2.8 stil will keep with me haha, I just make sure I wont do the wrong decision to skip the sony nex6 and join fuji family

about the ovf or evf, I think its ok because I stil use my note2 for shot if didnt bring my dslr, should be not a big problem without the ovf evf from the x-m1 ^^

I need something that good , light , and cheap price haha, I seethe xm1 iso performance is even little better than my 60d @@"

Keep in mind tat x100s APSC sensor is larger than X20. I suck big time when using prime and I am lazy at zooming with my feet. If you are a bokeh whore you will be able to achieve such result easier using x100s. The X100s gives you a more dynamic experience when taking street photography too as you hav to go up close to your subject.

That being said, I am more than satisfied with my x20 for the price I paid for. It is compact, gives me a good zoom range and has brilliant IQ.

I think it just comes down to the individual haha. I think even some people who can afford to fund both a DSLR system and a system like the fuji x series will have a hard time deciding to bring which camera for an event and end up bringing both! I have seen quite a number tourists while I was in Europe carrying a DSLR w/ a 24-70 or 70-200 and also carrying an x100/x100s/x-pro 1 with them, which i thought was pretty impractical as they will be super tired at the end of the day and not have fun on their holiday! (which is of course my opinion).

When I work, I usually bring a 3kg+ full DSLR and a Fujifilm X-E1, the combo works great. icon_rolleyes.gif

For travel, get a mirrorless, any mirrorless but for the best "gentle" and quality, you can relax when it comes to Fujifilm.

hahaha. i already can imagine if i kept my 60D and bought an x100s or x-pro 1, i will want to bring all with me. ya i agree, i really like fuji's mirror less. i've tried some other cameras like the nex/lumix gf/etc etc (not sure if they're mirror less la but generally talking about cameras higher than compacts and lower than dslr), and i really like fuji's x series.

haha, i was at curve on xmas eve with a friend. she and I went to sit and laundry bar for some drinks but I was really afraid to take my xpro1 out as they were starting to spray the foam thingy even at 10+ doh.gif . saw many photo opportunities but I was afraid as its my newborn baby tongue.gif.

really? i see everyone's words the same size as mine hmm.gif hmm.gif ..that "what about now" is larger than everyone else's and i put the font size to large haha.

btw anyone can explain why the ef-x20 is 2x the price of the ef-20? i tried both at YL and i bought the EF-20 just coz its able to bounce. but admittedly the ef-x20 looks nicer on the x-pro 1 + the old fashioned dials make it look quite ngam with the x series dials haha

hmm..had my first opportunity to actually use my X-Pro 1 + 35mm + 8mm fisheye + EF-20..camera performed pretty well actually, but a little disappointed with the AF in lowlight condition (even with the AF assist light on)

the AF when its dark (not pitch black dark, like dim restaurant lights) is pretty bad. its slow + it doesn't AF very well. takes 2-3 tries sometimes to get it right. and I had 3 or 4 shots out of 100 that is OOF.

also, the EF-20 is surprisingly powerful! it lights up my subjects really well (sometimes a little too well....). i only wish that flash can be rotated like the 580EXII so I can bounce up even when I'm taking portrait shots.

the 35mm is just..too sharp lol..it's weird, I guess, like "SHARP ALSO COMPLAIN, NOT SHARP ALSO COMPLAIN" but I take some shots with 1/60 - 1/120(i think) F4 ISO800 with the flash, the subjects' hair (especially girls) become very....pixelated? it's like when a photo is too sharp it becomes like that..(without +sharp PP and without crop)

other than that, I think the other issue I had was lack of space haha. with the 35mm it's really tough to get more than 6 ppl in a shot comfortably.

bro do you have photo sample for the pixel (crop) that you mention. this is my opinion, if the initial x series was design with rangefinder in mind this is abit better because the camera comes with AF not fully manual. Yet again the lens shall come with manual focus distance indicator, mostly didnot. Being said that, I guess the x series enquire the user to master both AF and manual focus, basically teach to think and set before you shoot. Regarding low light, I been shooting with X-E1 at the streets during night without problem. Its good to go somewhere near like Spore where there are plenty things to shoot with varieties of subject option.

i will post some photos here in awhile..i think so far i've only seen 1 lens with the manual focus distance indicator, which is the 23mm f/1.4..hmm maybe its just me but sometimes it takes 2-3 tries to get the focus and some of the shots are totally oof

Never consider a x-m1? X trans sensor with new processor that found in xe2 and x100s , and its half of the price from xpro xe2 , view finder is nothing for me after come from dslr, I even happy using the live view to shot, I can compose even better, more creative angle rather only rely on ur eyes level.

If budget is a problem for u, pls consider the x-m1, it got dual dail which can change setting faster just like the x100s and xe1 do.

The downside of x100s is its a fix length, I rather have something zoom + a primes , or a 14/18mm + a 35mm f1.4 rather than just stick to the 23mm at x100s , get something within ur budget, a camera just a tools hehe, don get something that u need to eat white bread for the next few month. Just my advice.

u miss the view finder? Haha


Anyway i really very confuse with the FOCUS MODE on X-m1 ,

there is

MANUAL - i know how this work , it won't do anything and u have to turn ur focus ring by urself to get focus
Multi - it will choose most nearest subject to focus
Area - u control the 49 focus point
Continuous & Tracking - i get confuse of this both focus mode , it will keep on tracking the subject , but when i half press the shutter , it will re-focus and capture the subject , so what point if it will re-focus after we press the shutter ? Shouldnt it tracking the subject and we press the shutter to capture ? Or any fuji pro member care to explain and help me out icon_question.gif

Anyway i really very confuse with the FOCUS MODE on X-m1 ,

there is

MANUAL - i know how this work , it won't do anything and u have to turn ur focus ring by urself to get focus
Multi - it will choose most nearest subject to focus
Area - u control the 49 focus point

Live view is good, just that I'm too used to using viewfinder. Also it can brings abit of burden to the battery due to the big screen.

Problem is it will auto tracking even i didn't touch the shutter , when i half-press the shutter , it will re-focus and lock the focus , it stop tracking sweat.gif

it only track when i didn't touch anything , so what the point actually to have such focus mode? Or is that i miss out something? icon_question.gif

BEHIND THE LENS (BTL) / Di Sebalik Lensa Kamera (DSLK)

BTL/DSLK..............24th. feat. Jay & Jian Han (MOCO BRIDAL)
DATE/TARIKH.........JAN 8th [WEDNESDAY] 2014
VENUE/TEMPAT........ENG TONG SHOWROOM (Kota Damansara)
TIME/MASA............6PM - 10PM (Register 6PM, Event 8PM)

BIO: Jay Han & Jian Han

Jay began his journey in photography in 2006 while he was still working in Europe. There, he obtained his first DSLR, the EOS 350D with the intention of documenting his travels, allowing him to hone many hours of self taught photography. His passion in photography slowly grew and over the years, it led him to explore portraits and wedding photography. Jay considers his work as stylistic environmental portraits, and focuses a lot on crafting natural expressions.

Jian Han picked up photography in 2007 under heavy influences from his brother, Jay. Jian Han did a photography course with the New England Institute of Arts and at the same time, began shooting for numerous local ads in the USA. It was in 2010 that he decided to move back to Malaysia and start pursuing wedding photography. Jian Han's approach to bridal photography can be described as chic and fashionable.

Jay and Jian teamed up to form MOCO Bridal Gallery in 2011 with the intention of providing a one stop solution for bridal photography services. The business grew from a simple photography studio into a bridal gallery with more than 300 pieces of bridal gowns within a year. Within 3 years of operations, MOCO Bridal Gallery has served over 400 couples and has done destination assignments in more than 20 major cities worldwide. Led by Jay and Jian, the business is set for further expansions in 2014.

As more2teayap said, go with what your budget allows. If you don't find yourself using the EVF, there is no point getting one.

Never consider a x-m1? X trans sensor with new processor that found in xe2 and x100s , and its half of the price from xpro xe2 , view finder is nothing for me after come from dslr, I even happy using the live view to shot, I can compose even better, more creative angle rather only rely on ur eyes level.

If budget is a problem for u, pls consider the x-m1, it got dual dail which  can change setting faster just like the x100s and xe1 do.

The downside of x100s is its a fix length, I rather have something zoom + a primes , or a 14/18mm + a 35mm f1.4 rather than just stick to the 23mm at x100s , get something within ur budget, a camera just a tools hehe, don get something that u need to eat white bread for the next few month. Just my advice.

nice reasoning u have there. xm1 is cheaper but it doesnt have evf which is my priority.
i have a nx1000 without evf only live view and i never satisfied with the photo.
with evf i can better preview to photo im gonna get

hmm. maybe u r right.. with xf 35 1.4 with xc 16-50 i can get combination of x100s and xe1.
wide angle summore with cheaper price as compared to xf 18-50 brows.gif


which is much more useful for travelling smile.gif

i think is not just this year..is all the stock of xm1 and xe2 (i think) this year that aren't sold are all given free 18mm f/2 by fuji to help the sales..i was talking with the seller who sold to me..i dunno if is until end of this year but i think not coz he told me he receive stock for 1 18mm f/2 per body already..

anyway, i think that if right now u have enough money to buy (and you really really want to buy), just go ahead and buy it now coz of the promotion..the 18mm cost almost 1.7k alone, u can sell it for 1k also u untung..

brows.gif brows.gif . the kotak inside not so premium feel even with the premium price tag sad.gif. the 35mm kotak so nice leh, the 23mm the kotak inside like to pack egg 1 lol. like those carton of 8 eggs, its very similar. with my 35 they give 1 nice hard case box inside the lens box..

btw this lens quite noisy the focus lol, more or less the same speed as the 35 but a bit noisier. but i like coz the lens barrel won't come out while focusing like the 35 laugh.gif

well long story short, it more about the weight and bulkiness that made me want to switch haha. and whenever I'm with a DSLR I just feel uncomfortable with people staring at my every time i take out my camera in public. and DSLR owners are normally easy targets for robbers as they are marked as rich people. now I can even bring out my x-pro 1 with one lens anywhere I want and don't have to worry about the weight the bulkiness etc etc.

I don't know if I'm the first haha, but I know for sure I won't be the last tongue.gif.

No AF bro, MF only. But to me its still easy to MF because we got the focus peaking.
Depends on the lens la haha, I attached 70-200 and yeah you have to hold the lens together for support ofcoz.
I attached the canon 50mm and its easy to hold the camera one-handed. smile.gif

Its indeed quite heavy, but its not that bad. Ive tried a canon tele lens on my camera and yes its hard to handle handheld.
But with the sigma, is still easy to balance, but need two hands ofcoz.

Well i love the color of the image produced by this sigma 10-20. Keep it bro, if you wanna try it on the x camera.
Or sell it and get the XF 10-24 soon biggrin.gif

even me, the 23mm is awesome haha. for wide I have the fisheye and if I really want a wide angle that's not a fisheye I'll consider the 14/18mm..but so far the 23mm + 8mm fisheye is really working well for me haha. what do you use with the fuji other than the 10-24?

even me, the 23mm is awesome haha. for wide I have the fisheye and if I really want a wide angle that's not a fisheye I'll consider the 14/18mm..but so far the 23mm + 8mm fisheye is really working well for me haha. what do you use with the fuji other than the 10-24?

hows the samyang 8mm bro? kinda interested with that lens too, but i wanna try it first hehe and also the 23mm.
for now the only XF lens i have is the 35mm. others are from my canon gear lenses.. smile.gif

the samyang 8mm is awesome. I've had it even with my DSLR gear and the availability of this lens in X mount made me choose the X-Pro 1 over X100s haha. Generally, I find the output of the lenses on both Fuji X and EOS the same, but if I had to choose I'd say the Fuji X mount is better in terms of flare control, sharpness, widest aperture (f/2.8 for Fuji X, f/3.5 for EOS).

these are 2 photos I've taken with the Samyang 8mm f/3.5 Canon mount with my 60D. a lot of people doubt the use of fisheye for people photos coz of the distortion but I haven't heard a single complaint from people who have seen my fisheye group photos that their face distorted or something, a lot of my friends and family love my fisheye group shots (esp the 2nd one which is taken during Chor Yat 2013). I just love this lens haha.

if you are from KL, you can visit YL camera at Jaya 33..even if you not ready to buy at that moment, make it seem like you have the cash ready to buy already & you are gonna buy. They will let you test the 8mm and 23mm haha.

NOTE : btw the photos are taken straight from FB so the quality isn't that good, but the original files are really clean and sharp laugh.gif laugh.gif

as far as i know theres no electronic ones for fuji x mount adapters out there yet.
the one that can change the aperture is on the adapter itself, no electronic contacts whatsoever.

like this one kipon eos-fx with aperture

just one question. i have read somewhere that the skin tone that x100s produced looks plastic at high iso.

and some of them prefer x100 over x100s as the colour reproduction is more natural. anyone can confirm this? hmm.gif

bought from YL ar? i bought the red leather one haha. will post some pics later biggrin.gif .

btw my mum just told me my little bro needs to get a new camera to use for school as his camera got stolen some months ago but he didn't need to use until now as school reopened. Instead of getting another DSLR for him, was planning on getting a used x100 or x100s. used x100 is about 2k, x100s about 2.9k, brand new x100s 3.3k. what do you guys think? he's using it for school photography club, I think for him it will be perfect.

of coz for HIM to use right, not for ME to play with whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif whistling.gif

thing is I bought an x10 for my mum for her to use personally as she needed her own camera to use(she's actually a teacher in the same school my brother goes to...) and she doesn't want my brother to use her camera as she normally brings hers with her in her handbag to school (she loves how easy it is to carry around with her)..

that's why I was thinking to get an X100/X100s for him (whole family fuji thumbup.gif thumbup.gif ) instead of another X10 or X20 (as its basically the same..).

on ISO6400 the default noise reduction will make the pic looks like very very smooth because they apply heavily noise reduction on it....normally when i shoot jpeg i turn down the noise reduction to -2 or shoot RAW....

it depends bro..cannot say upgrade cannot say downgrade also, even though xe2 is a lot newer than the 550D..depends on your usage, if you using for sports event or events that need fast AF, fuji x will have a hard time to please you. if you want to change your system for the sole reason that DSLR too bulky, then I think you won't be disappointed.

I, too, changed from my 60D+17-40+70-200+8mm+580EXII to Fuji X Pro 1 and I don't regret it one bit coz I've been using my 60D since it just released in 2010 (i think) and I know that the xpro 1 will suit my needs and more..if you bring a dslr out, it will be mafan to lug around + if you have a dinner, and after dinner got some plans, need to lug it around again after that (coz face it, if you leave an expensive camera in your car, especially in Malaysia, you're just asking to be robbed) with the lens and the bag and everything..

now, I can bring my x-pro 1 with the 23mm attached everywhere even without a bag (but normally I always carry a bag to put other things too) and don't have to worry about the weight + bulkiness or even going to certain places which might not be suitable for DSLR..

yeah I was studying in Europe too, a lot of walking around right? after my experience in Europe, I too decided to change system haha (not the whole reason la but one of the contributing factors). for dinners + gatherings for sure this camera will be perfect. lowlight and night scene a bit difficult as I found out the other day..I've only tried with EVF la actually, never tried with the OVF yet but since XE2 only has EVF, I think you will face some problems with the focus in low light even with the AF assist light..

If possible keep ur dslr with a general purpose lens, then get x-e2 with primes , it will be more a good idea, u dont know 1 day u will stil need auto focus of dslr hehe, but if budget not allow, then fuji is a good choice

of coz la i know they want me to buy their product tongue.gif , but like I said ma, match technical is a pretty popular brand used by leica users too so their products should be quite reliable..takkan spend few k on camera and save a few bucks on accessories haha..yeah if i'm not mistaken they told me its 300 or 400 something?

i think right (and i might be wrong), basically XE-2 and X-M1 is the same..just stuff like fps is different..the main difference (I think) is x-m1 dun have viewfinder, but honestly, even with the x-pro 1 i find myself using the screen a lot also. and x-m1 flash can be bounced too (not sure if xe2 can or not)..

yeah, not only shoulder or leg pain bro haha, but also not so convenient right to carry a big dslr around? I was in Portugal for study, went to Spain and Paris for awhile..also very afraid of pickpocket as Europe A LOT of pickpocket..

u can ask @chongkiatz for better personal review for the x-m1 as he just bought 1 some time ago..

then probably xe-2/x100/s better for you..for xe2 u have the option of using the LCD or EVF..for x100/s and xpro1 u have LCD,EVF and hybrid VF..speaking of brand new, x100s is about 3300, x-pro1+ 18mm/35mm is about 4400..xe-2 with 18-55 is about same as xpro1 also i believe..

i have tested both and opt for XE2. here're some comparison i can recall:
image quality not much different.
XE2 got viewfinder, XM1 no.
XE2 AF better than XM1
XE2 build quality better (more metal) compare to XM1 (more plastic)
XM1 got tilted screen good for capturing low and high angle shot with LCD, XE2 don hav
XE2 got faster processor, therefore faster frame rate, read write speed etc.
XE2 better grip than XM1 (although both also not much grip to me)
more customize button for XE2 than XM1
if u are those people who like a lot of manual controls, button, dial etc... XE2 is a better choice

btw guys, I have a question..you know that frame correction thing in the OVF, that white box that tells you what your image looks like? why is it when i frame it nicely, i half press it, after it AF locks on then the frame moves hmm.gif hmm.gif ..a bit annoying especially if I'm using a large aperture, if i have to reframe it with the same AF lock then the image will be a little OOF..

after i let go the shutter button the box move again, then I try to recompose again, half press, the box moves again doh.gif

Hi Guys! When I want to shoot a photo in auto-camera mode, I initially pre-focus the subject with the focus point in the centre then while half pressing the shutter, I shift and recompose the photo.

Problem is when I recompose after pre-focus, the metering seems to be out of balance and the subject face will be slightly darkened.

Do you usually pre-focus then recompose yur image? I won't be able to switch the focus point as it will take too long a time.

Any guidance is appreciated smile.gif

i assume your subject got a very bright or dark background.....
your issue is because when you recompose the frame, the camera measure the exposure again.....
in order to solve this, next time when you shooting at a subject got such background, try to use AEL to lock the exposure....

I do prefocus and shot, but the exposure is metered according to the pre-frame condition, so the exposure might vary when you recompose and shoot again

There is a dedicated AE-L/AF-L button on your camera back which mean Auto Exposure Lock/ Auto Focus Lock
By pressing the button you can either:
1. Lock the current exposure or
2. Lock the current focus (not sure whether shutter button is needed to press to achieve AF) or
3. Lock both exposure and focus

which these 3 setting can be set in the menu and i usually set to AF-L and set to to 'Switch mode', then i half-press shutter and press the AE-L/AF-L button and then press the shutter to capture

Is very hard to show in word, a hands on tutorial will do the job, cheers!

if u are those people who like a lot of manual controls, button, dial etc... XE2 is a better choice (In manual mode , it's about the same , u have 2 dail just like the X-E2 have , u will lack some "AF" Dail only)

Let me share the advantages of EVF and OVF


EVF (Electronic View Finder) Vs OVF (Optical View Finder)

Advantages of EVF vs OVF
- When u Shot at under sun , normally u won't be able to see the Live View screen because it will be blow out , this is where EVF very useful, but fuji do update their firmware and u can hold the "Q" button and your screen will automatic become bright , so the problem will be solve for those X-M1 , X-A1 or shot with live view user.

- U see what u get , mean with EVF , u can direct see what is the final image is. Whenever u adjust exposure compensation , it will follow ur adjustment.

- More bright , u can see more detail and more clear with EVF , not to mention u can review ur photo too in View Finder too.

Disadvantages

- Will use more battery than the Optical View Finder , but this is not the big deal as u can easily get a spare battery

- Shoting with flash , when ur background too bright and u need to setting down ur exposure compensation and fill flash to ur subject , let say u are in A mode and u setting down -1 or -2 EV , u will see a very underexposo view from ur EVF , while when in Optical View Finder u won't have any problem with because exposure compensation won't effect ur Optical View Finder

- When doing panning , u will feel the EVF is lagging while Optical View Finder won't


So having both is a plus plus like the xpro1 / x100 , x100s have , but for those without view finder , don be sad , just hold ur "Q" button and ur screen will automatic bright biggrin.gif

Hi Guys! When I want to shoot a photo in auto-camera mode, I initially pre-focus the subject with the focus point in the centre then while half pressing the shutter, I shift and recompose the photo.

Problem is when I recompose after pre-focus, the metering seems to be out of balance and the subject face will be slightly darkened.

Do you usually pre-focus then recompose yur image? I won't be able to switch the focus point as it will take too long a time.

Any guidance is appreciated smile.gif

Press AE-L/AF-L. In your settings make sure pressing AF-L will lock the exposure as well. What camera are you using?

Let me share the advantages of EVF and OVF
EVF (Electronic View Finder) Vs OVF (Optical View Finder)

Advantages of EVF vs OVF
- When u Shot at under sun , normally u won't be able to see the Live View screen because it will be blow out , this is where EVF very useful, but fuji do update their firmware and u can hold the "Q" button and your screen will automatic become bright , so the problem will be solve for those X-M1 , X-A1 or shot with live view user.

- U see what u get , mean with EVF , u can direct see what is the final image is. Whenever u adjust exposure compensation , it will follow ur adjustment.

- More bright , u can see more detail and more clear with EVF , not to mention u can review ur photo too in View Finder too.

Disadvantages

- Will use more battery than the Optical View Finder , but this is not the big deal as u can easily get a spare battery

- Shoting with flash , when ur background too bright and u need to setting down ur exposure compensation and fill flash to ur subject , let say u are in A mode and u setting down -1 or -2 EV , u will see a very underexposo view from ur EVF , while when in Optical View Finder u won't have any problem with because exposure compensation won't effect ur Optical View Finder

- When doing panning , u will feel the EVF is lagging while Optical View Finder won't
So having both is a plus plus like the xpro1 / x100 , x100s have , but for those without view finder , don be sad , just hold ur "Q" button and ur screen will automatic bright  biggrin.gif

Not sure for other X-series camera, but on X100, the OVF consumes more battery than EVF. sweat.gif

Really? Haha in Dslr, mostly semi pro body if using the OVF can easily shot over 1k picture, while sony slt EVF all only can get only 350-400 shot

But I might be wrong for fuji system, my explaination is base on my dslr experience hehe

For Fujifilm's hybrid OVF/EVF system, if we use the OVF, it needs much more brightness to overlay the settings display on to the transparent screen. That's why it is consuming a lot of battery. I can verify this for X100 because I own one. Does this apply to X100s and X-Pro1 too?

In China now for work (2 months), I brought my Canon FF+all my heavy L lenses to Beijing... Too heavy to bring around. doh.gif doh.gif At the end, I'm only using my Note 3 to snap photos here.

Damn regret now and I'm really losing motivation to snap photos using my DSLR.

Once I go back KL, will sell off my whole system and go for smaller camera. The only camera that attracts me for now is X100s, is it still worth to get now or any newer models?

I don't want to keep changing lenses... Wanna get rid of that thought now. sweat.gif

X100 and X100s is basically the same, with different sensors and megapixels being the biggest change..but even so, what's nice about Fuji is they don't forget about old models..they still update with firmware and stuff so even if you buy the X100, you'll be happy..

X100s is worth getting of course, but if you prefer to save that 1k, X100 is also a very good choice..there's also the XE-2 and XM-1 but they're interchangeable laugh.gif

5k budget definitely enough haha..x100s + a couple of good sd cards and some accessories. After selling my entire canon gear I found myself with extra money to save after getting the xpro1, 2 lenses and 1 flash laugh.gif
