The camera isnt for grabshots tbough. It goes to sleep to save battery. By the time it wakes up, the shot has gone. Its shutter lag is also more than a dslr...i missed some action shots decisive moments despite using some predictive technique. Using afs wouldnt help. ..i dont think. But i will give it a go to see if the buffering is quick enough. All in all its a nice camera for casual no pressure shooting. ....but not in dslr league for quick use..imho.
Yes this is very useful and is one of the reasons why the Fuji cameras are slower to use than a Nikon as the Nikon doesnt do this unless you use the Preview function ;-)

The Fuji does it every time you half-press the shutter when in EVF mode.

When I get back go Spain (later this month or in October) I will do a straight comparison.
The Fuji is APS-C (DX) so it is only a x1.5 multiplier compared to a FX camera.

D600 with 300mm lens, and XPro1 with 55-200. I'll also do a near equivalence so a D600 with 200mm and then cropped up to 300mm view so this will yield a near similar angle of view and MP equivalence.

D600 (24MP) v. XPro1 (16MP).

Interestingly...
The 55-200 paperwork says it is the equivalent of 84-305.

So ... unlike Nikon DX lenses, Fuji haven't corrected their lenses for the multiplication factor. They are effectively FX lenses?
No the Fuji lenses wont cover a FX format.
The lenses are designed specifically for the X series cameras and wouldnt focus accurately on a FX camera. The focus point is (I think) on 14-19mm behind the lens

But we are back to the old chestnut. How can a 55-200 be 'equivalent' to an 84-305 ...unless the magnification factor is being applied? Never get my head round this assertion.
A DX lens on a DX body has exactly the same field of view as the same focal lens as an Fx lens on an Fx body. Only when an FX lens is used on a DX body is there any relevance to a 35mm equivalent statement.

I have not however compared the field of view on the Fuji to the above mentioned scenarios. But I feel the 18mm of the 18-55 isnt as wide as the 18-105 DX on my D7000. Hence my view the Fuji isn't corrected.

Need to check.No an 18mm on the Fuji whether it is a Nikon or a Fuji lens should give the same field of view as a 18mm on a DX but that lens placed on a FX camera (presuming it is a lens that covers a full frame camera sensor will provide a wider field of view.

I have a very nice diagram somewhere that explains this I will try to dig out later today when I have done my other jobs for this morning/afternoon.

Sorry Jonathan...my head was filled with holiday fizz for a moment.

I am back now and yes I agree.

The Fuji has the same field of view as the D7000 with a DXlens at the same focal length.

I was forgetting my D200IR is a Dx body with an FX lens on it and the narrower field of view was confusing me for a moment.

And yes...compared to an FX body and FX lens the Fuji is 1.5x magnification.

Meds now working. :lol:

LOL Eric, as you say. Just the fizz from those French wines that gets to you.

For those interested this is a good article that explains the differences.
