Dear Complete Amateur: Good eye! Thanks for sharing.

The interesting thing is that I don't find framing so hard with it, either. Obviously, the frameline coverage is not precise, but as a graduate of the class of M8, you could say I've been well-trained :D

Always helps me to put those things in perspective: compared to the long weeks, months, and perhaps years of pleasure that you will surely get from the camera, 3 weeks is nothing.

So says the guy with the "Now Playing" avatar...


No, I'm not jealous
:D:D

This is the first time I have had to wait for a camera. I have been spoiled by only buying used.

I'm used to waiting. I have ordered a bunch of tasty backpacking gear from cottage manufacturers in the United States that often takes three months for delivery. (jpmac55 is an old friend and knows all about that!).

I would have waited for this one, too, but I'm flying back to Taiwan at the beginning of April for two weeks to participate in a series of events for which I really want this camera. Fortunately, propitious circumstances and the kindness of others came together to make it happen. If it is any consolation, know that I paid a small premium over North American prices, but still saved quite a bit compared to the European price. Only after ordering did it become clear that I could have got the camera and lens in Taiwan, but once again, there is a real advantage to learning the camera before departure.

To be honest, I should change my avatar to "men working" or something like that. :) I've been doing a lot of writing, and it's going darn well.
 
Not that impressed.

This is not a knock on your photography, just IQ wise its not that much of an upgrade from my x100. :p

I have no way of comparing, since I do not have the X100 here, and I have not yet seen any comparisons.

The X100 looks very very good to my eyes.

I did not consider an X100. I prefer the 50 efov over 35, and the ability to change lenses. I assume the sensor in the XP1 is also significantly better.

No doubt you will want to keep your eye on the inevitable slew of objective and subjective comparisons available in the weeks and months to come. I agree, it should be fun!
 
I tried this today as well, the sensor is indeed very very good. If Fuji made a real rangefinder with this sensor... well, I can only wish ^_^
 
Very very nice color, I think it will be kinda pointless to use raw on this camera, unless LR or other raw developer can figure out the secret ingredient of Fuji color. And congrats that you can use this camera for your Taiwan trip, by the time you go back it could be out of stock so it's always nice to have it now. :)
 
Very punch colours, I had to choose between the OM-D and the Xpro1 as my back up body, and the Xpro1 won my choice though, but I still like the OM-D...
 
Prefer the Velvia on this one, but that might be my own subjective bias (having shot Velvia 50 film for years, together with Provia 100 and 400)... Nice picture in any case.

I agree, though after a couple of days I feel like I'm getting "high contrast and saturation fatigue".
