JK is a little prone to acronyms, it saves him time, CP is Capture Pro, and lr is Lightroom. I suppose Aperture would come out as aa3? I hope you back them up too Jeff? Even to TM (Time Machine) would be better than nothing although TM isn't really a backup, it's a way of turning the clock back in case you delete something, or a file corrupts while saving. You can go back and restore it. You should also save the images to another drive, even if it's only a CD.

I have my important stuff on HD's (Hard Drives) at two other locations. If you have the drives connected all the time and there were a lightning strike nearby that could destroy the data too. I lost a computer and HD that way, a Mac plus, back in about '93 I think. I got paid out on the computer by the insurance but nothing for the data. Most of it was on floppies then, so they were OK.

Go my XE1. Well it is different to the XPro1. It has some advantages and some missing items but no show stoppers. I can fortunately see a reason to keep both. The XE1 is more X100 sized but with all the advantages of the interchangeable lenses. I have the 18mm f2.0, 35mm f1.4, 60mm f2.4 and the new 18-55mm zoom to put on the XPro1 and the XE1. However I do want something wider but am not tempted by the new just out this week 14mm f2.8 lens as I want the 10-24mm zoom and the 55-200mm zooms when they arrive. In the mean time I will try to decide if I can manage without AF as I will be testing the cameras extensively when I go away in March to my birthplace in South America. I expect this will be a severe test of equipment and I will be taking the XPro1 and XE1 with Fuji 18-55mm and 60mm f2.4 with the Kipon adapter with my Nikon 70-300 AFS VR lens to give me extra reach.

I can say that I am very happy with my XE1 and it with the XPro1 will be going with me to South America next month. I have only one gripe which is with the 18-55mm lens which has a IR hotspot so I have to tune that out in Photoshop when I do my IR shots. However in the normal light range the 18-55 performs admirably and will no doubt be the lens that gets used most on my trip.

Dont want the 14mm as there is a 10-24mm zoom coming late this year. That will be perfect for me. Unfortunately the 55-200 zoom wont be available for purchase until April /May which is a month or so too late for me to take on my trip.

Been playing with the various options on the XE1 and its autofocus capabilities. There is an AF mode called AF-C. This is not like the AF-C on the Nikon as it only provides a central crosshair which you place on the object of desired focus and then you half press the shutter (and keep it half pressed) before recomposing and then shooting by full pressure on the shutte release. This provides very rapid and accurate AF. I need to test on XPro1 as well but it should behave the same. These cameras really have been significantly improved since release by the firmware upgrades.
