Think JK was referring to the lousy menu complexities you mentioned.
That look a nice clean image .
Yes. That was what I was commenting about.
At present I am debating the why's and wherefore's of getting a Fuji XE1 with 18-55 zoom.
The combined kit price is £1089 but the camera alone price is £689 and the lens £599.
But do I really want the XE1 camera body as I already have the XPro1 with 18mm f2.0, 35mm f1.4, 60mm f2.4 lenses. These are very good lenses but the new zoom has much less CA than the 18mm and is a great walk-about lens as it covers the full range of all the primes.
However the new Sony NEX6 with 16-50 would do the same for £800 and with the 55-200 for a total of £1000 which is less than the Fuji XE1 kit. But I dont want to have another camera make and lenses!
Also there are the problems of the support of the new Fuji XTrans sensors whilst the Sony stuff is bog standard sensor technology.
I suppose I should wait to the end of January which is the traditional price drop time for camera kit.
Choices, choices!!
I'll add my own Oh Dear - the growing urge to spend money!
I need to get some of Eric's Yorkshire thrift going, should be possible as my Dad's family are all from there!
