Fujifilm FinePix X100, Overview Of The X100 By A Nikon Dslr And M4/3 Owner
I am writing this review out of your perspective of someone who owns your Nikon full-frame dSLR (Nikon D700+MB-D10), a couple Nikon crop dSLR (Nikon D7000+MB-D11 together with Nikon D3100) and an m4/3 digicam (Panasonic GH2).
I receive the Fuji FinePix X100 about 5 days ago and since that time, I have been slowly learning the features and capabilities in this camera. I will be steadily adding to this particular review in the coming days but I decided to share here my initial impressions within the FinePix X100 to help those wondering whether to obtain this camera make their decision.
Though I tried my hand at using small cameras that will shot RAW and provide full manually operated controls on aperture, shutter speed, ISO and White Balance (the Panasonic LX-3 and therefore the Canon S90 being among these), I was never pleased with the marginal photos that I could take using these cameras. This is mainly due into the small-sized camera sensor. Yet part of my dis-satisfaction with these cameras is also as a consequence of shooting position where one extends one’s arms to see and compose with the rear LCD screen as opposed to the viewfinder to the eye position when making use of a dSLR. After trying my hand with your cameras, I sold them but knew which usually my next small and light camera should have a large sensor and a good viewfinder.
My initial attempt to finally address this issue on poor image quality and sub-optimal shooting stance yet have got a small and compact camera was my purchase of your Nikon D3100 which I paired having a Nikkor 35mm f/1. 8G DX aperture. Equipped with a good-sized sensor, a huge optical view finder (OVF) and a very capable lens, this setup provided me with a compact, light, inexpensive and very have the ability camera setup. I was very pleased about the setup and it provided me some getting rid of using the D700+MB-D10 or D7000+MB-D11 combo. Though I did install and use my other Nikkor lenses about the D3100, it was the Nikkor 35mm f/1. 8G DX that was mounted on the D3100 easily 50% of the time. For the other times, it ended up being mainly the Nikkor 24mm f/1. 4G at 40% of the time and the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2. 8 or maybe the Tokina 11-16mm f/2. 8 to the remaining 10%. I would have put to use the Nikkor 24mm f/1. 4G significantly more often with the D3100 than a Nikkor 35mm f/1. 8G DX however large size and heavy weight in the Nikkor 24mm f/1. 4G lens doesn’t necessarily make for a light and well-balanced combo with all the D3100. So as much as Appraisal have preferred matching the D3100 by using a 24mm focal length prime lens, the lighter weight and smaller size in the 35mm f/1. 8G DX made it the default lens in the D3100.
I also acquired a Panasonic GH2. Though pre-loaded with a smaller m4/3 sensor, the GH2 acquits itself adequately for video work and the 14-140mm lens provided great results when shooting outdoors or in fine lighting conditions. But for still-photography, the GH2 when using the 14-140mm lens is simply awful. For a little bit, I had the impression that the GH2 was very unhealthy for still photos until I decided to find an adapter and mounted my Nikkor prime lenses over the GH2. Wow.. what a difference mounting good lenses made on the products photos the GH2 can take. I found myself using the GH2 more often for still-photos even though I had to manually focus my Nikkor lenses. The GH2 was my first exposure to an electronic viewfinder (EVF) and despite its real limitations when getting work done in sub-optimally lighted conditions, I appreciated the power of the EVF of the GH2 to show off information that an OVF could not even display. I decided to add some Panasonic 20mm f/1. 7 and 14mm f/2. 5 lens and was proud the resulting setup which was far more compact and lighter than my Nikon D3100 as well as 35mm f/1. 8G DX lens. Although the image quality of the Nikon D3100 was still as good as the GH2, the smaller lighter size of your GH2 and its excellent video capabilities managed to get it my choice for many situations.
After that came the Fujifilm X100. Combining the small compact size of this GH2 and its compact prime lenses plus incorporating the benefits of both the optical viewfinder of the D3100 along with the electronic viewfinder of the GH2, I became intent on the X100. The fact that the lens was not interchangeable was not an issue for me as the X100 lens is often a 23mm f/2. 0 – the perfect focal length as far as I was concerned. The 35mm equivalent of 35mm would’ve been my favorite focal length while using the D3100 and the GH2 but neither Nikon nor Panasonic makes a compact and light prime lens that includes a fast 35mm in 35mm equivalent (Olympus makes a m4/3 17mm nonetheless it is just f/2. 8). That the Fujifilm FinePix X100 lens was also a timely f/2. 0 lens was definitely an ace simply the X100. While cleaning the sensor with my D700, I realized another reason why the non-interchangeable lens nature of any X100 was a non-issue. With the non-removable lens, the X100 will likely not want any sensor cleaning at all, MY SPOUSE AND I happily realized. Yes!
