Took your advice and did a factory reset, have put some basic settings in for myself so far and will hopefully have a proper play at the weekend and tweak them...

:banana: Woop! My X20 has arrived!! Not had chance for a proper play but initial impressions are good. It feels similar to my Panasonic Gf1 with 20mm in the hand with the added advantage of the OVF. Can't decide whether to start fiddling with settings or just do a factory reset and start from...

Has anyone got any pics of a silver x10 / x20 with the JJC lens hood / adapter fitted by any chance? The Fuji one seems a little steep! Edit : actually not as bad as previously given the Amazon link above!

Thanks so far all. (y) I'm gradually working my way through the x10/x20/x30 thread too...

Hi all, sort of 2 threads rolled into one really... I have just purchased a Fuji X20 and am looking for some advice really as this is my first Fuji : 1) Are there any pointers regarding ideal settings for making use of the camera easier from any of the Fuji veterans out there? Eg quick menus or...

Looks like I may have missed the 16-85mm, I'd like to spend less if possible but agree generally with spending on good glass. I loved the 24-70 L on my 40D, I just didn't love carrying it!! That's a really generous offer Andy, I may take you up on it as I'm no closer to picking. I had a play...

Thanks for the replies so far everyone. I'm afraid the 16-85 is a touch pricey for the time being, I shall take a look at the Tamron 18-270, I hadn't considered it before but it sounds good. The old 18-70 doesn't get the best reviews online, it gets placed behind the 18-55 and the 18-105...

I'm just coming back to the forum from a bit of a break. I sold my Canon 40D and 24-70L as I found it wasn't getting much use and bought a Panasonic GF1 20mm kit. I have used this combo exclusively for the past few years and love the versatility it provides. Recently, the wife has become more...

Software package and voucher arrived on Monday. Installed last night and had a play. The content aware fill brush is pretty impressive!! 2 weeks from sending to the package arriving, pretty impressive service from Panasonic. I sent mine first class signed for, not sure if that makes a...

I'll keep an eye on this as I will be doing the same in a couple of weeks.....

The above setup looks like a dream setup to me! I have just got the 50mm 1.4 (albeit on a 40D not a 5DII) and am quite impressed with the results once stopped down a bit (around f2.0). Macro wise, I have just had the 100mm f2.8 L delivered today and from a brief play it appears amazingly sharp...

How about a nice Prime? I have just got a 50mm 1.4 for taking pictures of the kids. I had a nifty-fifty a little while back and took some of my most cherished pictures of the kids using it. The fixed focal length makes you think a bit more about what you are taking and the wide aperture is...

Have a look over here : http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=158427 166 pages long so there should be at least one full length portrait at f2.8...

I sent my form off yesterday so I'll update when it gets here. They will have Elements 10 out by the time it arrives! :whistling:
