Re: new Fuji X Pro1 camera (formerly called "new camera")
In my experience, talent is irrespective of gear. I see absolutely nothing in that first image that couldn't be done with any number of cameras, and indeed the second as well...but this takes nothing away from his talent, does it?
Yes, I've read the thread; I was referring specifically to my comments which have not been about technical comparisons to Leica.Okay, seems you haven't been reading what people have been writing regarding technical and IQ comparisons to Leica ... but if you say so.
Excellent. My point, AGAIN: Leica has to get their production house in order *regardless.* I've been involved in a similar capacity with two dealers who rejected such an investment specifically because they have no guarantee that Leica will reward them with sufficient shipments to pay off such an investment.:OT:The information that the Leica stores are wholly Corporate owned is not correct or misunderstood ... but again if you say so. I have the full marketing presentation that, as a consultant in marketing and advertising (my profession), I'm evaluating for an authorized Leica dealer as a possible investment. It is a franchise, not wholly owned company stores.:OT:
It will be interesting to see technical comparisons with those cheaper crop DSLRs. Considering that early indications show that the sensor is, in many tests, at least the equal of, and outperforms full frame cameras costing more; some, much more.Nice camera, but I agree with Jono ... it's not a NEX7 nor a Leica M in terms of either EVF or OVF ... okay for some, not with others. It's a crop frame with lens factors ... okay for some, not with others. It apparently has neither stellar AF nor breakthrough manual focus (like focus peaking) ... okay for some, not for others. IQ as demonstrated so far is okay, but not earth shattering or unobtainable by an array of other choices including some smaller DSLRs with more resolution at less cost ... okay for some, not with others.
Yes. That is exactly what has been happening in this thread, with a bit of a diversion.The point of threads like these isn't a sales platform for marketers, it's for photographers to thrash out all of the aspects that determine ... "Okay for some, not for me".
Crossed swords in what way? I complimented his work. Are you saying that only one camera can produce those types of images? Of so, which one would that be?In your opinion, not everyone's. Personally, I think you have crossed swords with the wrong photographer

Yes! In your opinion. Not everyone's. But we aren't really comparing photographers in this thread. Absolutely, Fuji should send him a camera and see what he can do with it!Nothing shown so far using the Fuji even approaches this work ... IMO.
