Hi BrianThanks Jono - wow, what lens will you be using with the NEX7?
You're right though... I too have waaaay too many cameras and I'm not using any of them enough right now! :deadhorse:
Hope you're well :salute:

Hi JimIt's probably best you held off on the X10.. it does have one glaring wart, see my review of the issue at http://www.boxedlight.com/x10
It seems to have an issue with handling specular highlights.. some of have indicated this is caused by operator error but I am not so sure. At any rate the camera is a pleasure to use and works quite well for what and how I shoot. Love the feel of the thing and the form factor.
I had a chance to handle the NEX-7 in Austin, Texas several weeks ago and was, at the time, considering it, the form factor put me off. It just did not feel comfortable in my hands. I look forward to seeing what you get from it.
Thanks, Jono and all of those on the X10 page were shot over a 14 day period I believe.. I finally had some free time and it's no longer 105 degrees in the shade.Hi Jim
My - as others say - what a bunch of great photos you have . . . . I'm not naive enough to think it's the camera (or at least, not just the camera).
I haven't been lucky enough to play with a NEX7, but I've spent enough time with the 5n to know that I can manage the odd interface. Sounds like it may be the new year before they turn up though.
all the best
No, I made no adjustments to the highlights settings.. just camera default.I am afraid this it the sensor (maybe even pixels leaking light to the side). Shot with which settings. Did you set Highlights to soft?
Nope.. I did not see a single Orb in this shot and because all of the light is indirect.. not head on, there are no blobs of light... also the intensity was not high enough to cause an issue.... No Photoshop involved.Interesting that the specular highlight off the hanging wok didn't create a blob nor did the high hat lights cause a problem for the sensor. Finally one other spot that could have been problematic is the metal for the exhaust hood behind the wok.
The only spot I've seen the problem seems to be very harsh highlight bouncing off of metal outdoors.
Unless you photoshopped out problems LOL

The problem does exist. I've proven it to my own satisfaction.. if you've not been to my X10 section on my website, please visit.. took a water shot today and the results are as I expected.. pretty ugly.
Indeed - quite right too - It's possible there's a camera without some sort of a glitch . . . but it's also possible there isn'tI am probably done "testing" the X10 in regards to the orbs/blobs and will hope that Fuji will find a way to handle the issue. For now I will use and enjoy the X10 for what it can do very well.
