Paul MaudDib posted:This is the thread about small, light cameras that are basically just like DSLRs in every way, many of which lack a grip, right? The NEXs have a grip, and it's only some of the m4/3 cameras that lack a substantial grip. They also weigh less than half of the Nikon FM2, with an even greater weight savings in the lenses. That said, I still wouldn't buy a m4/3 camera without a grip (or at least good add-ons).

Wengy posted:IQ is probbably about equal, but with the GR you're getting a much more compact body, provided you can do without the EVF. With the caveat of "Do you like RAW processing?" because the GR's SOOC jpegs are pretty flat and unimpressive color-wise.

So is it pressing the shutter button that causes the vibration? Because if it's the shutter itself, I don't see how changing when it fires is going to change anything.

Baron Dirigible posted:I just installed the new firmware, and I want to double-check the Auto ISO works as I understand it to. Say I set the minimum ISO to 200, the max to 3200, and the minimum shutter speed to 1/160. So the camera starts by checking if ISO200 at any shutter speed down to 160 will expose correctly. If not, it will bump the ISO to 250 (or whatever) until it does. However, if it reaches 3200 without a correct exposure, it will then start lowering the shutter speed as a last resort. Is this right, assuming aperture priority? I don't have a Fuji, but that's exactly how Auto-ISO works on my cameras.

whatever7 posted:So Fuji is basically building a prosumer APSC body aiming squarely at the D300s/7D market where both Nikon and Canon are leaving and replacing with cheap FF bodies right now. I get the sense that Fuji is not getting a better APSC sensor from Sony that's why they are loading up features on a new body but try not to call it a XPro-2. They probably will get a new APSC sensor for the XPro2 after new Nex-5 (new A7000 series) get a new sensor. Why do you say Fuji is dependent on Sony for a new design? I was under the impression that the X-trans is an in-house Fuji design, and manufactured by Toshiba.

Buy this book: http://www.amazon.com/Understanding...anding+exposure You can learn everything in there on your own using the internet for free, but the fact you're asking here instead of doing that already says you'd probably rather read this book.

Saint Fu posted:I'm planning a 3 week hiking/backpacking trip and am looking at a Ricoh GR as a lightweight camera option. I'm thinking about battery scenarios and I realized I could get an OVF to significantly extend the life of the battery by leaving the back screen off and framing with the OVF. Then I realized that if I leave the back screen off, I wouldn't have any exposure information like I would with a dslr or EVF. It'd be a lot cheaper and easier to just buy 1 (or 2) extra batteries.

Saint Fu posted:I will have several extras but nowhere to charge them en route. Cost isn't so much as issue as weight. The GR battery is pretty small really. But you can turn the display on and off pretty easily using the Disp button, you just have to press it three times fast to turn it off, because it cycles through other display options (like rule of 3rds grid) before turning off.

whatever7 posted:Just leave it at aperture priority f/8 or something. Doesn't GR let you set min shutter speed anyway. Yes it does, and that should be fine for daylight landscapes. Not a good idea for tricky focus situations of course. The GR doesn't always focus where you think it's going to, so the LCD is important for that.

You'd think Fuji would be working very closely with Adobe on their understanding of how to maximize image quality from the X-trans RAWs. Maybe they are.

That's a nice camera grip. But they're definitely deluding themselves if they think people are willing to pay for a "pro" body for a 1" sensor.

I'd like to see what Fuji could do with a full-frame fixed-lens prime camera, but I have zero interest in a full-frame mirrorless. At that point, quality lenses are so big it stops making sense to me over a DSLR, for size and weight savings. I think Fuji has already hit a good compromise with their APS-C line-up.

bobfather posted:I do think the pro-level MFT bodies are really nice (the Olympus EM-5 and EM-1, most notably), but the thing that rubs me the wrong way about MFT is that they charge an arm and a leg for their lenses, when in reality your average MFT lens is way smaller and physically has much less glass than other lenses. That's a pretty dumb way to look at it. The lens design is going to be just as complex as a larger lens, your argument boils down to "there's less silicate because the glass is smaller" but the sand doesn't make glass expensive, it's all the work that goes into designing and building these optically perfect designs. Micro 4/3 glass packs 16 megapixels into a very small area, so the glass needs to be able to resolve that, as well.

Why does it need to be in a cycling jersey pocket? I feel like you have visions of cruising at top speed down a road, seeing a beautiful sight, and whipping your camera out of your pocket and taking this perfect picture while still pedaling on. That's just asking for a blurry, crooked mess of a photo. Any time you'd realistically be taking photos, you'd get off your bike, and compose, and it's not that much effort to pull the camera out of a pack under your seat or wherever.

Some of you guys have said the Wasabi power batteries are pretty decent right? I'm traveling with my Ricoh GR and left my charging USB cable at home, so I need to pick up a charger, and might as well get some batteries too.

bung posted:The Wasabi batteries for the EM-5 do not report battery life correctly. It will show 100% and then no power, nothing in between. Also the Oly charger will not charge Wasabi batteries but the Wasabi charger will charge the Oly battery. Hmm, well, the Ricoh GR battery is the same battery they've been putting in cameras for like a decade, so I doubt it has really fancy circuitry inside. Thanks guys, I'm going to just buy it because it turns out I don't really have a choice anyway, not only are the real battery and chargers super expensive, but they are also not available to be shipped pretty much instantly on Amazon Prime like the Wasabi stuff, so that basically settles it for my case.

Olympus's new 40 megapixel sensor-shift mode is pretty damned exciting to me. Can't use it hand-held of course, but most of the "important" shots I take are on a tripod anyway.
