I wonder if all you Xpro1 users can tell me about your shooting experience with the camera.
I'd like to know about working speed when shooting raw files. I'm not doing action photography, sports, dancing...but is there a wait between taking shots? I shoot with a D700 now and want to know how happy/unhappy i'd be with actual day to day usage. I usually just shoot one image at a time, carefully, but sometimes I might shoot two or three raw files in succession say on the street. There's no lag time with the Nikon.
A question about autofocus. I often hold the D700 against my stomach and shoot 'blind'. Or I'll hold the camera at my side vertically at arms length and shoot. I depend on the autofocus for accuracy and a steady hand. Sure, it's hit and miss, but i get lots of very sharp images this way. Is it possible to work this way with fuji's Xpro1?
I usually use the center focus point. Sometimes I shift it around depending on subject. Do you find the xpro1 focus points accurate and sensitive enough, even the ones at the edges?
I do wonder if the choice of evf or ovf is better for how i like to work. I guess I'll find that out if I get a chance to try the camera.
Ok, I think that's it for now. I will go to a camera shop and try and use the camera so i can judge all this for myself, but it's early days yet. They aren't in the stores here in the south of France. I do really need to make sure the camera feels good in hand too.
Thanks kindly for your advice and experience. Oh, and I've been following the 'fun with'...thread and there's so many excellent images. The color and dynamic range on these images looks really good to me.
