Fuji X70 First Impressions:
I will be posting my review of the Fuji X70 probably by the end of this week but I thought I’d give all of you my overall first impressions of this camera. When I first heard about the X70, I thought it was a great idea. Who doesn’t want a compact camera with an APS-C sensor for about $700? However, there were two things I didn’t like about it right off the bat. I don’t like the fact that the X70 does not have a viewfinder, and while I’m okay with a fix focal length lens, I don’t like that it is essentially a 28mm equivalent. I’m just not a huge fan of a 28mm lens in general. [continue reading…]

Sunlows Orange-LL Leather Camera Strap Review:
A short while ago, there were just a few major camera strap companies out there but now, there are more manufacturers than ever before, and one of these companies is Sunlows. Sunlows is a company from Turkey that has been producing fine leatherwork for quite some time, and has brought that experience and knowledge to photography. They produce wrist straps, and neck straps made not just from leather but also from other various materials. One of their products is the Orange-LL, which is an all leather camera neck strap that Sunlows was kind enough to send me to review and evaluate. Here is what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Fuji X30 Compact Camera Review:
The high end compact point and shoot scene has certainly changed in recent years. More and more manufacturers are introducing products with a list of improvements and features. To combat this, Fuji has the X30, which is the third generation of this series of camera. The X30 maintains many of the attributes and features that has made the X20 successful but it also introduces new features in hopes to remain competitive and viable in this category.

Fuji X-T1 vs. Leica D-Lux Typ 109 ISO Comparison:
I’ve been raving about the high ISO capabilities of the Leica D-Lux Typ 109, and some of you have emailed me asking me for more info on the D-Lux. So, I figured what better way to demonstrate its high ISO capabilities than to compare it to a camera that I know produces excellent high ISO files. Therefore, I decided to compare it to my Fuji X-T1, and see how it would measure up. [continue reading…]
Fuji XF 27mm F2.8 Review: Pancake Lens For The X Series:
If you want something that will produce excellent results all while maintaining a compact form, a mirrorless camera is hard to beat. To match the small size of some of these mirrorless cameras, many manufacturers have built their own version of a “pancake” lens. Fuji has a couple of lenses that are very compact like the XF 18mm F2 but the XF 27mm F2.8 is their first official pancake lens. The truth is, I didn’t have much desire to try this lens when it was first released. It didn’t seem like it had that many qualities that would help it stand out from the rest of the XF lenses other than its compact size. But when I was planning for my trip to Walt Disney World, I wanted a very compact system, so I wouldn’t have to lug around so much gear in a place where there are long lines and a lot of walking. I brought with me a Fuji X-T10, and I decided to give the XF 27mm a try because the focal length was right between a traditional 35mm and 50mm, and therefore, my thought was that this one lens coul get me through my trip. Plus, I thought the ultra compact size would be a great match with the small dimensions of the X-T10. Here are my results from this lens and what I think of it. [continue reading…]
