Those are some really nice X30 shots Mr Bassie, you always do so well with it. Nice scenery and love the Fuji colors!

I have the X10 and X20 and in most cases the X10 just produces better images. In a few cases the X20 will outperform it, but not often. That EXR sensor was really a winner...wish they still used it.

The first day I got the X10 I loved it...and still do.


I didn't know a thing about it and just set it on EXR and shot.....Did good enough for me for a first day use!

Rupert,
The EXR technology was/is fantastic stuff. The issue is the horrible term 'MP' for something that is at best questionable. 6mp for exr on the X10 is enough for sharp letter prints. Likewise for me on the F600exr.

I am currently taking a break from truly compact cameras, but caved a few days ago and bought a GM1 for the insane amount of travel i'm currently doing.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Clarkey, the little X10 is still fun for me too, and the EXR sensor is good enough for most of what I do.

What kind of travels are you doing? Business or pleasure?

A couple from tonight...I mounted the Pentax 540 on the X10 and I can get faster flash response and faster speed too.

1/400 @5.6


1/400 @5.6 Fish filets tonight...they loved them!


Look at him stuff it in!





The 540 will sync all the way up to 1/4000 on the X10 or X20, which can really help get the best exposure control.

Regards & Keep it touch!

I like it Paul! That camera does a very nice job....you too! Hard to believe that is a soccer field, but the rains were awesome. weren't they!

Regards!

I'll try for a few more Raccoon shots tonight if I can. I think I am still a ways off from getting the best shots, but am getting a little closer as I learn the best exposure methods with flash. Raccoons are always willing....as long as I have plenty of treats for them!

Looks like fun in your neck of the woods!

Sadly, for business. Just coming back for more than the 14 or so hours I've been home in the last 9 days...
Will post some GM1 and GR shots when I get to a computer.

I'm back! Not been anywhere just moving job location and starting course so been fairly busy, nothing new on the camera front, still with the X-Pro and X30 and loving them.
We do have a new addition to the family, a Cockapoo called Dougal.



Who need a big sensor for Bokeh.... X30.



Got some in my flickr backlog mostly taken at steam shows, will go through as see what I haven't shared.

Cheers, Steve

The camera is quite good, even with the "kit" lens

You do such a great job with the X30 that you don't need anything else......just wonderful shots! Love that horsey shot a lot! Your B/W shots are always the best of quality too!

Nothing much here but more raccoons. I've been using the X10 mor and more.....I just like it better than my X20, and think it does better with the EXR sensor for my needs.

Baby hanging on to save his spot!


He wants me to refill the feeder!


They will pose if you pay them in food!


The little Sunpak flash works great with the X10/X20 and being able to sync up to 1/4000 give you a wide range of aperture and speed choices to control exposure.


Regards! Love your Toy Cameras, they are wonderful friends!

Looks good! Yeah, I really tried out the X30, and ergonomically it is good, just a bit big to cram into the carry on for work travel and to put in a pocket. I had the pleasure of attending a wedding near Newry (Warrenpoint), a few years back. Friends living near Clough. Lovely part of the world.

Cheers, that's as close as I could get in post> Panasonic files are different (different, non-Sony sensor) to process. Good thinking with the flash, definitely can't do that with the gm1!

Something weird about the perspective on that first shot Paul...and it is really neat! The color is great too!

More raccoons from last night...

It gets crowded...




Then the fights break out an Mama heads for the hills!

My Brother-In-Law is from near Seaford just down the road from Clough, well so is where my with is from in Castlewellan.
My oldest Sister-in-law wedding breakfast was held in Warrenpoint, not that I knew at the time as I was not meant to be there.......

Do like NI, it's very similar to down here in Cornwall.

Cheers, Steve
