Here comes the beauty of Lugu Lake - 泸沽湖, everything is so surreal yet so real. I spent 5D4N here and these are just half of those edited shots from this lake, more will be shared later. I strongly recommend those planning to go to Yunnan for vacation to insert Lugu Lake into your itinerary.

Guys, im currently own fuji x-t1, sold my 27mm & 60mm, in dilemma & thought of this 2 option

1. selling the body and replace it with sony rx100 m4 or m3.
2. or buy a new/used 16-55mm f2.8 lens for my x-t1

sometimes i just want an ultra portable camera like the sony rx100 that can easy fit in my pocket and cover a bit wide range of focal length and also have a good video quality. bought a used sony rx100 m2 for my gf and im kinda like it A LOT  .

usually doing part time of helping my friend to take some pic and VIDEO on their event. the fuji kinda makes me look like some kind of professional , but the sony rx100 just look like a normal compact camera. dunno whether  should i care about "the look" or not 

sony rx100 m4 or m3
+ nice pic quality
+ great video quality
+ ultra portable
-  looks like compact camera

fuji xt1 + xf 16-55mm f2.8
+ GREAT pic quality
+ looks very professional
- normal video quality
- portable than DSLR, but not so ultra portable
- need to fork out $$$ for lens (16-55mm f2.8)

need ur guys unbiased opinion on this 

Just wanted to share my pictures during my Kathmandu trip earlier this year. all taken with XT-1 and 35 1.4, processed with Lightroom.
I've always been a very shy person, it was very hard for me to approach random strangers and ask them to pose for photos.
However Nepalese are super friendly and down to earth, they don't shy away from cameras and will always smile for you. This is by far the most enjoyable trip I've experienced so far.

i old my x100 the other day and by that time, i am quite sure everything was normal as it should be. however today the buyer contact me and told me that he thinks that there is problem with the shutter speed from 1/125 to 1/500. he said that he shot at around 8pm (presumably the surrounding should be quite dark), iso 1000 at f4 with shutter speed between 1/100-1/500 and the shots were constantly overexposed.. however when he shot during the day time things were normal..

wondering anyone heard anything about shutter problem with x100? im suspecting he just got his setting wrong rather than the camera problem

resetting doesnt work and he was in manual mode.

Iso1000, f4, 1/500
Is quite bright for 8pm. Must be like under spot light.

So what he's saying is that it should be dark and underexposed. But he is getting overexposed. The issue is sticky aperture blades. It's a known problem with earlier batches of X100. The aperture is wide open when you view the image in the viewfinder but occasional cannot close properly to the right f stop. That's why it's overexposed.

Fuji at one time fixed this under warranty. But I suspect most X100 will be out of warranty by now. You can try to get it fixed but they may charge you.

what is the ideal setting mode? thanks for advise! 

to be honest i think i am under utilizing the full features of it. need to learn more. 

There's no "ideal" setting but Fuji's sensor is 3:2 size so I'd prefer to use every megapixel in the sensor.

Here's some of your photos cropped to 3:2... also to avoid those empty space in the frame

Ok wut.. prefer to have a conversation rather than just price and where to buy talk. 

Thanks for the input!

But then X70 is a compact no? I would prefer a mirrorless though. And I don't think the excuses of not bringing it out would be applicable to me (?)

What I do is use those cheap foam water tumbler holder which I got from thrift shop as lens protection. It works well and only a fraction of the cost on what I would otherwise pay for a proper one.

Something like this but cheapo plain black type


For system cameras... buy into the system ie the lens available rather than just the camera body. Good luck.

The material is akin to memory foam so there's no lint and what not.

Besides, its only used when I bring out the lens. Otherwise they're kept in dry cabinet.

wanna ask those using X series camera with wifi. can i insert a sd card from a non-wifi X series camera to perform image transfer?

eg. i pop in my X100 sd card into X70 or X-T1 to perform image transfer to ipad/phone.

will it corrupt the card or mess up the image name numbering?

Can anyone recommend a fujifilm mirrorless camera model that is on par/better with Sony A6000? My budget is max 2k.
