Capture One Beta

Take a look at all the Capture One Beta vs Lightroom comparison pics here on flickr (Photo By 夏天).

There is another “new product” in the Beta version. It’s AccuRaw Beta. Just take a look at chromasoft’s post here.

The Trinity Comparison (part 3): the EVF comparison

Alexander of fujifilm-x-opinions.net posted his third part of the Trinity Comparison (X-PRO1 vs X-E1 vs X-100). It’s an important part, where he compares the EVF. Just click here and read it. Remember, he will sell the “looser” of this comparison. Which camera would you sell? And which one will be the winner?

X-PRO1

“All in all, I’m impressed. I’m pretty sure I’ll get used to the quirks and come to really love this camera.  It has only been two days, and like I said, I haven’t used strobes with it or really shot much in the way of people yet. I’m sure the sync speed slowness with frustrate me, once I do. It will be interesting to see how much, if any, this can replace my D700 for that sort of work. That isn’t why I got it, but it is the cherry on top if it works out.” This are some thoughts from the first impressions of rodneyboles.com (click here)

X-E1

Brandon Remler posted some shot taken with the X-F1 (needle) and with the X-E1 14mm and 18-55mm (pigeons). Click here to see them.

We all share the same passion: photography! It’s this passion that brought David to start his blog composinghands.com and write about his experience with the X-E1. So click here an take a look at his site (first time with X-E1) and his clear PROS and CONS post here.

Rumor Update: X-20

 

This time the rumor comes from Vietnam, posted on mayanhjp.com (translated version).

– New EXR CMOS 2/3 14MP

– Fujinon 24-120mm F1.8-2.8

– continuous shooting up to 10 frames per second

– Full HD videos 1080*1920

– maximum ISO 12.800

– 460.000 pixel screen and optical viewfinder

– expected launch: January

So, this new rumor confirms what I’ve already posted on Fujirumors… and after Fan Fuji, now also this new rumor from Vietnam provides us with some more details.

No doubt, the X-20 and the X-100 replacement will come. And very likely they will be launched on January 7! Follow Fujirumors, I’ll continuously update my site. Follow us on twitter (click here), subscribe RSS feed (click here) and join us in facebook.

 

Rumor Update: X100 replacement + X20

 

Here again!

A FR reader linked me to the comments in the Japanese website digicame-info. There is a source that calls himself “Fan Fuji” giving some more news about about the X10 and X100 replacements. Some of them correspond to rumors I have from trusted sources. Now let’s make the point of the situation:

X-20

The name of the X10 replacement will probably be X-20. The principal improvements will concern the sensor and the viewfinder. So that’s for sure (trusted sources).

And now let’s see what COULD be according to “Fan Fuji”

Fan Fuji says: The X20 has a newly developed EXR CMOS lowpass-less sensor and its viewfinder can display information. [This could correspond with the information I have, that the major improvements will concern the sensor and the viewfinder.] According to Fan Fuji the X-20 will be costlier than the X-10.

X-100 replacement (according to Fan Fuji)

1. the name of X100 replacement will be X100s (we know that the name won’t be X200, so here everything is possible)

2. sensor: 2nd generation X-Trans CMOS (we know that it will have an X-Trans sensor. I’m doubtful if it really will be a second generation X-Trans)

3. new hybrid viewfinder (yes, the HVF will be improved)

4. rangefinder-like focusing gimmick (I would have expected such a feature on future interchangeable lenses cameras…)

5. on sale in February or March (other trusted sources told me it will be March)

6. the price of X100s is as much as X100. (I don’t have infos from trusted sources about the price yet)

Now be careful with these information. I have already posted what I know from trusted sources about the X100 replacement here. And regarding the X20 the only sure thing is that there will be a new sensor and viewfinder. So let’s wait and see if Fan Fuju is reliable.

I tried to contact Fan Fuji through the comments in the digicame post. I didn’t get any answer yet. So, Fan Fuji, in case you’re reading this, please contact me … you can create a fake email account if you want… we could have something more to share…

beautiful and comprehensive: riflessifotografici X-mount review

shadows

And then, when all hope had faded ;-), it happens!

It happens that after all the reviews I’ve read I can still be surprised. And it’s again riflessifotografici! I think they’ll never be the first to post a review, but hey, just take a look at their shots, and you’ll understand why. They don’t just test cameras, they work with them. The result is a really beautiful collection of images and a comprehensive review. This doesn’t mean necessarily pages over pages of mere specs, shots and technical data. No way. You don’t need a lot of words but just the right words to reveal the secrets of a camera and its lenses. And what you also need are great pictures. And there are plenty of them here. You wanna know the truth? It took me more time to choose the images to post here than to write this text! A real photographers review made for photographers!

The result is a perfect mix between art, professional observations and personal considerations. These guys really know how to figure out the secret of a camera.

Landscape, portrait, street, people, beauty… you can have it all in one, if you read the latest riflessifotografici review. It’s a passionate work of two photographers (Massimiliano Angeloni and Donato Chirulli). Take your time, and discover your X-E1 and lenses by reading the original Italian review here (translated version).
