Costello Jello posted:More Pentax K-01 pics: Look as an Australian Industrial Designer i think i can say that I hate Marc Newson more than most but seriously what's wrong with the bike? Its a carbon fibre time trial bike designed by Trek. The only input idiot Newson had into it was the placement of the yellow vinyl stickers. If i recall correctly that whole tour Lance Armstrong had several different bikes painted or graphicced by various artists or designers. I think they were all auctioned for his charity too. That aside i think the K-01 is a horrible design, eschewing benefits of a mirrorless system for the sake of a missed aesthetic. Pretty much a typical Newson design. That said, if it's marketed well it will sell incredibly well.

Am i stupid to be thinking of replacing my 40D with something mirrorless? Love the look of the xpro1 (the price not so much). Would love to still have a viewfinder as i really dislike taking pictures with a lcd backscreen.

RustedChrome posted:I took the X-pro around Philly tonight for to see how it does in the dark. Holy crap, ISO 6400 is amazing. No need for additional noise reduction. What little noise I see looks like a nice fine-grained film with none of that ugly chroma noise confetti at all. Detail is still good, particularly for the landscape type shots I got tonight. So far, no buyers remorse here. Don't keep making me want one

If the rumoured Canon mirrorless is essentially a mirrorless 7d I'll go out and buy one straight away. The biggest thing stopping me from getting a nex 7 or xpro1 at the moment is my other gear. (mostly my 580exii, the 40d and lenses can't be worth too much anymore)

Quick update on the X-Pro 1 after two weeks of shooting. I love this thing. Image quality is great, ISO responsiveness is lovely, the 35mm lens is so sharp and i love the size of the camera.

thetzar posted:How do you like the responsiveness of it? The focus is taking a little to get used to. I was quite used to selecting the focus point on the fly with my 40d and now its a bit different. Aside from that though all the controls are pretty good, a bit different and taking a bit of time to get used to but that's going to be what you get switching systems anyway.

I'm starting to seriously consider selling off all my Canon gear to fund another lens for the X-Pro 1. Any of you guys get rid of a DSLR when you went mirrorless rather than keeping it around? Anything you miss?

Mest0r posted:I didn't buy into a system, just a camera rather (the X100) and the biggest differences or trade-offs was the AF speed and different types of optical viewfinder. The XPro 1 (and the X100) offer the EVF as well as the OVF so that helps when you need to frame something more critically, but that doesn't really replace looking through the lens like you would with a SLR for me personally. I've already bought the X-Pro 1, had it about a month and love it. I've just kept my old 40D kicking around as its got a Tamron 17-50 on it and I occasionally have to shoot exhibitions and events for work. What I'm thinking is to sell the 40D, 17-50, 50 1.8, Batteries cards the lot (tho keep my speedlight) and use the money to either pick up the new 14mm or the new 18-55, then grab the 10-24 the it comes out.

Mest0r posted:Doh, I thought you didn't have the XPro 1 yet. It sounds like you're just asking the internet permission for what you have set in your mind to do anyway. You can probably try shooting with the XPro 1 for work and see if that works out for you to begin with. Yeah that's pretty much true about asking the internet. I used the X-Pro for some shots a couple of weeks ago and it was great, just i only have the 35mm so i still had to carry the 40D with me for wide angle shots. Oh well its only money right?

Just sold off all my Canon gear so i can afford a new lens for my X-Pro 1. I'm thinking the new 18-55 zoom is probably the way to go but occasionally have a thought that the 18mm prime might be better. Who knows I'll update this on Saturday.

Shmoogy posted:Got to play with my Xpro1 & 35 1.4 today a bit. Upset that it doesn't have a minimum shutter speed setting like the x100- and due to the size/weight/balance I will likely always have the shutter set to 1/250, on auto iso (6400) and alter my aperture as needed. Watch out for situations where you move from a dark environment to a bright one, sometimes ISO 200 and 1/125s still lets in too much light.

krackmonkey posted:I hope Fuji looks long and hard at their lineup and what they'd consider their competition. The X100 successor should be looking at the Sony RX1 as its' main competition, and with that in mind, I'd like to see them really take that bold next step into the future with the X system. They don't need to rush into FF with the X-PRO/XE series, but why not go there with the fixed lens X series? It would pave the way for the technology to filter down to the interchangeable lens models at a later date. I'm not sure what the point of going full frame would be for Fujifilm at this point. They have the X-Pro 1 and the XE-1 that have both sold really well and you have a new lens mount associated (XF). Then they have a nice lens roadmap and they're struggling to meet that (14mm has been delayed a little to focus on 18-55 that's selling like hotcakes). If they were to develop a full frame sensor for an X100 replacement you'd imagine there would be a full frame X-Pro 1 coming soon and that would mean a new lens mount. I'm not sure what the X100 replacement would be like, surely an XE1 with an upcoming 27mm pancake would be pretty similar.

Ksi posted:Nevermind. Just upgraded the body and the lens and, from a bunch of pictures in my dim light room it seems to focus faster and more accurately. It seems to hunt less for focus and no "lens noise" reported. Good to hear, I'm going to upgrade mine tonight. I often think a lot of the whining on camera forums is over exaggerated. Wah why don't fuji update the firmware to give me a little feature, wah my lens is a little noisier. You've gone out and bought a camera that is capable of producing some amazing shots. Fujifilm continue to develop improvements for it, What re you complaining about?

krooj posted:If you're okay with shooting at 50mm eff. having a shop pair the X-E1 with the 35mm 1.4 might be the ticket. The 35mm 1.4 isn't much smaller than the 18-55. Its not saying its a big lens, neither is the zoom (even compared to something like a Tamron 17-50). If you want more compact i think Fuji is releasing a pancake later this year. If you're unsure what you're shooting I'd grab the XE1 kit. The 35 is lovely but primes are a bit of an enthusiast approach first up, tho it could teach you some good habits too.

Pablo Bluth posted:I can only speak as somebody who lusts after one, but reading all of the reviews, it struck me that pretty much every criticism levelled as the camera could be put under the heading of Speed. Be it auto-focus speed, EVF speed, buffer/write speed, or general responsiveness. I'd suggest that the Mk2 doesn't need to address a lack of particular features so much as polish the user-experience. There's a lot of chatter online of people who have far too mch time on their hands and bitch about every little niggle and blow them completely out of proportion. The focussing was pretty slow on Firmware 1.00, now at 2.03 its pretty good. Similarly the lack of RAW processing with mainstream editors was pretty poor, lightroom 4.4 has pretty much fixed this too.

Yeah the Fuji 18-55 it's a really nice lens, I use it a fair bit. I'm also looking forward to the 55-200 add well, the only unfortunate thing I've noticed with the whole Fuji system is the lack of cheap lenses, everything is $700 or more.

While I would love to become a wedding photographer and everything else, I just don't have the time. My images mostly consist of places/things and a few people here and there. Would one of these new mirrorless cameras do better than the 40D setup I have right now? I don't take it with me too many places, mainly because I just have to carry so much. Had pretty similar kit to you and switched over to the X-Pro1. Sold all my Canon gear except my 580EXII. I've now the 35 and the 18-55mm lenses. Can't say miss the 40D at all. I was out at a light show last night and it was great, nice and light, easy to throw in a shoulder bag and forget I had it with me when I wasn't taking shots.

krooj posted:The more telling point will be whether they continue firmware updates after replacement models have been released. Yeah it will be interesting to see what support happens when the xp 2 comes out. I don't quite understand everyone's rush for it though, the xp 1 has been out for what 18 months? 2 years? What's Canon's release cycle like? Where's the 7d mk ii? The xp 1 does pretty much everything I need, small body, great ISO sensitivity, amazing picture quality and with the constant upgrades in firmware and autofocus it's a camera that I'll have for a long time yet. Sure when a xp2 comes out I'll look at it and maybe grab one but it won't make any of my pictures taken with the 1 any worse, hell this camera is way above my skill already.

I was thinking about maybe a Crumpler Haven or something but I'm interested in other peoples thoughts. I have a crumpler haven for my XPro1, 35mm and 18-55. It's pretty good, when I travel I'll throw it in my Complete Seed, if I'm walking about town it'll go in my Barney Rustle, on my (now stolen) motorbike it fit well in my Kriega (both R35 and US20) though if I'm taking my flash and other gear I'll need my 5 million dollar home.

Some people just can't adapt to change very well. That said, I quite like the implementation of video on my XPro1, it's there if I need it but it doesn't intrude on what is primarily a stills camera.
