The directional button with the rotary around it really sucks. It’s fiddly
and doesn’t match the rest of the quality feel (imo). Review was
interesting.
Why is it that every time someone refers to a lens as being “4 ex”, it
makes me feel like they’re reading a spec sheet verbatim without
understanding the underlying concepts? It’s akin to mentioning a “2-slash-3
double-quote sensor” or an “8-on-its-side maximum focus distance”.
Not shooting through the view finder would bother me. Man, can Fuji ever
make a camera that doesn’t have SOME major flaw in it? The x100 has focus
problems and the x10 has a nearly unusable viewfinder. How is this stuff
missed during quality control? -mM
can someone explain how this is a compact camera. With the lens always
making the footprint bigger, I’m not sure how to easily carry it other than
a bag or strap. Not very compact in my mind.
@bedbugtrippin To be fair, though, the Leica viewfinder has the same
parallax problem and doesn’t zoom (the frame lines change size when you
switch lenses, and their movement only tells you where the subject will
appear — not how it will relate to the background). It’s not hard to get
used to a non-TTL finder and make accurate framing decisions — it’s just
very different from the SLR experience.
I disagree that the viewfinder is worthless. You have to adjust for the
parallax, which is the issue for every rangefinder type camera. Once you
figure it out it is simple.
Nice job. So many guys just seem like they’re reading the spec sheet and
haven’t shot the camera extensively, but you pointed out the high AND low
points. It’s a shame about the viewfinder; there’s not much point it
shaping it like a Leica M if one can’t use the viewfinder. May as well be
brick-shaped, just like the rest of them. 😉

It’s quite expensive in Asia but is the optical viewfinder not accurate? :<
Mark says the OVF is inaccurate. What exactly does that mean?

That EXR mode is really neat. If it was a little cheaper I might get one
but I am still learning my DSLR at this point.

I might have missed it…. stereo microphone or not?
Nice review, Mark!
Good job with the review; liked watching your CreativeLive workshop as well!
Great review Mark, as always!
@gecmartins I agree.

@3107210748 0:17 he says “retails for 600 dollars”
dont forget to mention it is black.
You made up my mind. After researching every confounded mirrorless camera
out there I gonna get this one as my walk around street camera. Thanks, Mark
get a T3i….
@dombowerphoto Hey its Dom! I just watched your vid on the Samyang 85mm
f1.4! thats a terrific lens for the price. Cheers!

“It does all kind of things!” Oh Really??
What about the price?

i was just about to say the same thing! Haha, thought I was going crazy
What do you think about the issue of “white disc effect” of this camera?
When you shoot light with dark background.
Very informative presentation. 🙂 Now I am really convince to buy this
camera.
