This is better done with high resolution.

I find it hard to manual focus in the OVF of my d7100 so i really want to try this EVF on the x-t1.<br /><br />I think I will start with the x-t1 and go FF later if I really need to. thanks for your answer and btw great blog! :)Fishmaster3000https://www.blogger.com/profile/01870633807184809549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-73057756960366429302016-01-09T11:07:07.309-05:002016-01-09T11:07:07.309-05:00DSLR cameras are not really very good at working w...DSLR cameras are not really very good at working with live view. It's just the nature of the beast. If you really prefer using working from the back of the camera, then mirrorless is the way to go. Both the Sony and Fuji are excellent cameras. For landscape, I find it best to use FF cameras to obtain a higher quality image. For candid shooting I like the smaller APS size. The new Fuji X-PRO2 will be a 24mp camera so with that you could have both high MPix and small size, but it does not have an articulating screen. So long as your print sizes are not much larger than 16x20" or 20x24" then either format will work. For larger work, I would recommend FF. Hope that helps. - TomTom Grill:https://www.blogger.com/profile/06149972936838234537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-30082530673642444552016-01-09T07:37:19.252-05:002016-01-09T07:37:19.252-05:00Hello guys!

I'm a general purpose photographer and i shoot artistic, portraits, street, landscape and ocasionally I shoot a wedding or two. Soon I'll be moving to Switzerland so I will be shooting even more landscape.<br /><br />For the last couple of weeks i've been looking to replace the d7100 with the a7ii or x-t1, why? <br /><br />I won't rant too much about why, but the biggest issue is when using live view. It literally takes about 4-5 seconds to take 1 picture using live view with the nikon, its so friggin slow!! And if taking a series of lets say 5-6 photos when taking a portrait I have to wait like 8 seconds for the buffer to clear so i can review the picutre...<br />(My camera is front/backfocusing alot even after microadjustment so i need liveview to get sharp eyes)<br /><br />In this way the mirrorless seem to be much much faster and i can take series of photos and instantly review them on the screen.<br /><br />I really like the fuji and the lenses and Im planning to get samyang 135 manual lens, wich should be really convenient on the fuji.<br /><br />The only reason for me to get the sony over the fuji is higher MPix, FF and ibis.<br /><br />Now, do i REALLY need the 24mpix FF in landscape photography or is the 16mpix fuji sufficient?<br /><br />Yes I plan to do some printing, both for hanging on my walls and also for making photobooks for wedding clients.<br /><br />Please help me choose :)<br /><br />Thanks / DennisFishmaster3000https://www.blogger.com/profile/01870633807184809549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-15851182936430946012016-01-09T07:33:10.379-05:002016-01-09T07:33:10.379-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fishmaster3000https://www.blogger.com/profile/01870633807184809549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-89444732987251497032015-04-30T03:04:07.997-04:002015-04-30T03:04:07.997-04:00Repairs are the single thing that I truly HATE the...Repairs are the single thing that I truly HATE the most about Fuji in the Netherlands.<br /><br />Their repair lab is... in Germany! It takes , at least two weeks to send and receive the camera ( though the shop) and a couple of weeks to do the repair. <br /><br />This was the main reason why I now own a X-T1 because my XE-1 went there with a dirty sensor and came back with an even dirtier one after 6 weeks.<br /><br />Having said this, what strikes me if the view on top of both cameras ( which is the reason why I liked my X-T1 more than the Sony when I considered buying one or the other) whatever is not there in the form of a turning knob in the Sony has to be activated by means of a menu which is precisely what I truly hate to do by using any camera ( even the X-T1) operating the on screen menus. I loathe them!<br /><br />This was the single most important factor for me to go for the Fuji.<br /><br />I truly don’t care about pixel amounts at this level.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362413556263270346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-17754700917320870952015-04-20T22:47:53.274-04:002015-04-20T22:47:53.274-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826575373579389667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8331638045168087261.post-72855960346342402472015-04-20T22:47:24.641-04:002015-04-20T22:47:24.641-04:00Ugh, of course!

When my RX-1 viewfinder failed I was told it would be $700 to repair (almost double the new price!) and later told it couldn't be repaired at all. ballardboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00743275492221134119noreply@blogger.com
