FIRST OFF: Thanks a lot, Etienne (blog) for the samples and your impressions.

Check out his blog about 1 year travel he did with his Fujis here at pack2life!

We are still waiting for Fujifilm to upload their official samples… so in the meantime you can find some on Fujirumors. This time it’s FR-reader Etienne, who shared with us some of his samples taken with the upcoming XF 50-140mm f/2.8 OIS WR and XF 56mm f/1.2 APD

I’ll just share one low resolution image (with crop) taken with the XF 50-140mm f/2.8 OIS WR at 140 f/2.8 (above) and one shot with the XF 56mm f/1.2 APD (at the bottom). For all the full resolution samples, download them at dropbox here. The samples are really very sharp!

He also send us 3 things he has noticed during this event:

  • the 90mm is really huge compared to the 56mm (ok the 140-400mm is even bigger but not too long for this range)
  • the tripod collar of the preproduction 50-140mm can’t be entirely removed of the lens. The collar will stay but you can “only” remove the L shape part that is attached to the tripod (with 2 screws). It is actually different from the Canon 70-200mm f/4 I had in the past (no screws like this). I don’t know if it is going to be the same thing on the final model. I don’t really like it this way.
  • the electronic shutter once activated made the X.T1 a perfect silence camera (I tried that on the graphite X-T1).

Also the threeguyswithcameras was at the event, and they posted their samples and impressions here.

Pre-order
(& support FR. No extra cost for you, but a small comission is valued back to FR. Thanks to those who decide to support FR this way and allow me to keep this blog running)

Sony RX100III vs Fujifilm X30 :: which one is the better camera according to Kai (digitalrev)?

Share

Kai from digitalrev compared the the Fujifilm X30 with the Sony RX100III (see youtube). His conclusions are that “there is nothing wrong with the Fuji… it’s a decent (but fat) compact camera, it’s just that the Sony seems to be the better camera overall“.

Here just a few PRO’s he listed about each camera:

Fujifilm X30 PROS: cool looking, bigger & better EVF, feels better in the hand, manual zoom.
Sony RX100III PROS: Pocketable size, flip screen, slightly sharper, more detailed images, better dynamic range, better auto-white balance in low light, better ISO performance

Just let me add one more PRO to the Fujifilm X30… it costs $200 less than the Sony. The Fujifilm X30 is sold for $599, while the Sony RX100III costs $799.
