FUJIFILM X-Pro1 (35mm, f/1.4, 1/100 sec, ISO200)
After I tested the Velvia setting of my Fuji X100 I changed to RAW + JPEG. With the Fuji X Pro-1 it was the same. I shot RAW plus JPEG fine and used the Velvia JPEGS most of the time. Still there were a couple of things I didn’t like. So the image above is most likely the last OOC JPEG I will ever post. Continue reading
Canon EOS 6D (70mm, f/4, 1/40 sec, ISO12800)
Not long ago all DSLRs were big and heavy. Than they became much more compact and today first models are almost as small as mirrorless cameras. Full frame cameras are different. Even the enthusiast models were bulky. Now that has changed. Continue reading
FUJIFILM FinePix X100 (23mm, f/2, 1/60 sec, ISO2500)
SONY DSC-RX100 (11.32mm, f/2.2, 1/40 sec, ISO800)

Three very different cameras – one location.
I shot those cameras on different days so light is very different but my main topic is not image quality it is shooting experience. How does it feel shooting them? Do they deliver in poor light? Which camera is most fun? Which one is the most annoying? But of course also about: How do the images compare in real life? Continue reading
SONY NEX-5 (39mm, f/8, 1/60 sec, ISO250)
I got my Fuji X100 in September 2011 but it became my most used camera in that year. Even more impressive when you consider that it had the sticky aperture blade – problem, needed to be sent to Germany for repair and missed a trip to Moscow.
It was also by far my most used camera in 2012 but I doubt that it will be my most used camera in 2013 and the reason is simple: I got myself the Fuji X-Pro 1 for Christmas. Continue reading
Canon EOS 5D (35mm, f/2, 1/2000 sec, ISO100)
I have to admit that I was shocked twice when Sony announced the RX1. The first shock was a very positive one. Finally a really compact full frame camera with a fixed lens. And the fixed lens is a Zeiss 35mm/f2.0 with T* coating. Just perfect! The second shock came within a minute and it wasn’t a positive one. No viewfinder. NO VIEWFINDER!
I can imagine that there was a rather emotional discussion within the Sony marketing department. Obviously the small is everything group won. Continue reading
