I used CS2 and now CS5. I've tries LR but I hated it as it seemed to me to be heavily biased towards cataloguing images with the processing side being tucked away on a cobweb covered shelf at the back.

They've stopped updating CS5 now so I have to convert my GX7 and G7 files to DNG and it slows the whole thing down so I have been tempted to pay for CC and indeed I tried to trial it but it doesn't like something on my PC and it craps out every single time. I do feel very reluctant to give Adobe any more money as I feel I got royaly shafted with both CS2 and 5. I had problems with CS2 when changing PC's and Adobe just shut the door and what felt like about a millisecond after I paid £600 for CS5 they stopped updating it so I really don't want to give them another penny but looking at it in cold hard economics and taking the emotion, well actually hatred out of it, I think that CC is actually not too bad a deal. Unless they think of a way to shaft customers in the future.
 
Anybody heard anything about their X10 orders :)

US amazon are showing in stock,but no one seem to no where the UK is (n)

funnily enough I bought the graphite but once the initial excitement wore off, I wish I had just got the black version. Something about the graphite tint that just looks completely false.

Thanks for letting me no,maybe just stick to my original plan :)
 
I've said it a few times in here, the silver/graphite doesn't suit the X-T1. The silver suits the rangefinder style cameras and the new X-T10 because it doesn't cover a the back of the camera. The Oly E-M1 is the same when it is in its silver guise.

Have you tried MetaRAW yet? It converts to DNG on the fly and is free to try. I'm using it with cs4 for all my camera files. Occasionally. LR is my main tool now I've got my head around it :)

Not tried it.

One annoyance with DNG's is that once everything seems to have finished CS5 then goes through an additional saving settings procedure (I can't this minute remember exactly what the message is.) //////the whole process is significantly longer than with raws CS5 can read. But it is free.
 
Does this bring all the new stuff the X-T10 has?
If it does... your thoughts?????
 
It does although i think the menu's could be a little different from something that Rico said. No idea though. The X-T10's are out there, no idea if they're in the UK yet though. Seen a few pics of peoples that they have been posting. Look nice for sure.

As for initial thoughts, no idea, only just done it. Off to try it with some duckyboo's.
 
I've read on the (new) Fuji forum that the 35/1.4 is now lightening fast at focusing even in low light. That alone will be a result! If the 18/2 is sped up too then I will be very happy (presuming the same firmware makes its way to the x-e2 as Fuji have indicated).

Ok ok. No need to rub it in!
 
Sorry Adam. :LOL:

7 shot sequence with above settings and at f2.8 as this has been a criticism of some people here. In the video's posted previously, the photographer was using a small aperture so giving plenty of DOF.






 
Impressive - but I'm going to wait for the official version and then another couple of days, just in case!
 
minnnt said:
Well the x-t10 looks nice from the pics I've seen that people have posted.

Does that help? :D

Got some runners to post aswell but it might be tomorrow now.

It's quite good.

Hope so,just find it odd no one knows where the UK stock is :confused:
 
Has anyone ever compared an XT-1 with 23mm lens and an X100S/T? just wondering what the IQ would be like between them. I know the 23mm is an f1.4 but really tempted by a used x100s instead of forking out for the 23mm.
Just a thought.....

The 23mm on the X-T1 is sharper of the two options. I've got both and as long as I'm not traveling really light then I use that combo. In saying that I wouldn't part with the X100S.

I have a 23mm XF which is considered by many as Fuji's finest lens. However, if you only wan't one focal length the just go for an X100S/T. The whole point of an interchangeable lens system is to, well change lenses when required ! In addition you will get a degree of parallel error from any rangefinder, where as the the X-T1 will provide you with the definitive viewpoint. Of course, it's all down to personal choice. Horses for courses and all that !
