Paul Genge from Camera Diner just invited us to watch a Fuji related Live show: “LIVE on www.cameradiner.com tomorrow night at 7pm (UK) 8pm(CET) we will have photographer David Kai Piper who is a professional photographer using X-PRO1 and published by Fujifilm UK. Because its a LIVE show the viewer can interact and ask questions directly through the chatwall.“
We know well that it AF speed is not exactly one of the most impressive features of the X cameras. But Fuji seems to working on some innovative solutions for the future. The Japanese website Egami (translation here) spotted that new patent describing an on sensor phase detection system. The interesting news here is they found a way to allow such a feature without the use of extra Phase detection AF pixels!
Let’s hope this is coming with the next X camera…
Unlike so many other cases Gariz (korean design company) is know to make elegant and let me say sexy looking cases! Just check the pictures of the [shoplink 2169 ebay]Black case (on eBay)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 2170 ebay]Brown case (again on eBay)[/shoplink].
Doesn’t the X-E1 look even nicer than before? I want it :)
found via Slidoo eBay.
The Spanish DSLRmagazine (translation here) posted the full Fuji X-E1 review. And they compared the camera not against other APS-C models but against the best new Full Frame DSRL! The Nikon D600 and Canon 5DmarkIII. Is it madness? Just check out the comparison image (Click here). According to the reviewer the Fuji is able to match in many aspects the quality of the FF cameras. Imagine what a Fuji Full Frame camera could do once released! :)
The X-E1 in Stock status:
Europe at Amazon UK, Amazon DE and of course on eBay (Click here to see auctions).
USA at Amazon US (overpriced via third party reseller) and via worldwide eBay stores.
There is much interest around how good (or bad) the EVF of the new X-E1 (click here) really is. Is there a lag or even a freeze that blocks the camera from doing anything for a second or… there is a lively discussion in the comments to this post of fujirumors (click here).
You can see how the EVF performs in bright sunshine in this youtube video (click here). I think he should have taken some shots to understand better how the EVF performs.
There is another video of someone taking shots through the X-E1 viewfinder that you can see here on youtube (click here)!
Now, does these to videos clear up this issue? Leave a comment.
