Nice set.. I'm sure the couple will be pleased.

So, if you were to shoot only with the Fuji and I'm not suggesting that you would, would you have the confidence to shoot OVF only? In your line of work, getting the composition right is vital.
 
I wasn't harping. Just posting my experience in close quarters. Any other setting it would be a non issue. Several reviews said it was no big deal. I just wanted to my wedding day experience for anyone interested in that application.

Oh cmon, she heard that and not the shutter?

Thanks for the comp🙂

Yes, that's right. The chatter is almost as loud as the shutter. (which is fairly soft)

Woah, woah... sorry for the confusion. I quoted the thread I was referring to... I wasn't talking about you.
 
Alright I've had a chance to check out your review on your website. If Fujifilm was able to fix the aperture chatter thing, as well as speed up focus speed a little (particularly in low light) and maybe fix up the focus points option, could this camera potentially replace your standard DSLR for wedding work? Potentially? Hypothetically?
 
Can't see the difference between it and any digi camera from the past few years. What am I missing? Might as well been a Nikon D70.
 
I have never used this camera, but I do use an X100.

Extrapolating a little, I could not see this camera replacing an SLR as a main camera for wedding work unless you happen to hate SLRs or dislike zooms altogether.

A good SLR is so darned fast and so flexible that I cannot see it. I like using primes for some aspects of a wedding, but I would not want to give up the zooms altogether myself. Image quality is not the issue - the X-Pro is dynamite - but other utility issues. Sure, there are zooms coming for the X-Pro, but it will still involve compromises that do not affect SLRs.

As romantic as it might seem to shoot weddings with an X-Pro, or Leica M9, a 5D II/III or Nikon equivalent is a pretty well unbeatable all rounder for this line of work IMHO.

I think the difference is that if you used a digital mirrorless camera from the past few years you would be able to tell from the photos that it's crap 😛
(that is, if you managed to get the photos with it in the first place)

The fact that the camera pulled its weight in a wedding environment and you cant really distinguish the result from a DSLR is an achievement in its own right.
