Lumix LX-3
A Lumix LX-3 Review as an every day camera, by Jorge Ledesma.
When I hold the LX3, I just feel like making pictures and my creativity just naturally flows. I don’t have to think about it too much because I know that for the images I want to create the LX3 will be there ready and up to the task when she’s called upon.
Camera is a creativity tool. I have always heard good things about the Lumix LX series, and this confirms it. Panasonic is playing a significant part in today’s camera market.
X-Pro1 reactivity
I know that one of the questions is how faster is the Fujifilm X-Pro1 as the X-100 seemed to be sluggish, frustrating a lot of early adopters of the X-series.
Here is a video that shows the X-Pro1:
From “nycphotog2006” the same person that posted these sample images.
X-Pro1 samples
A Fujifilm employee posted personal sample shots with a Fujifilm X-Pro1. First night out and first day out
Also it seems that the M-mount adapter has been spotted.
OM-D or E-M5? Weather seal.
Just a clarification: OM-D is the product line, a bit like Pen Digital. E-M5 is the model, like E-P1.
Also, concerning the weather sealing for the body, look at this demo:
The flash you see on the camera is also part of the standard package as it does not have a built-in flash.
Kodachrome 2010
A small documentary “Kodachrome 2010” by Xander Robin, with an interview of Dwayne’s Photo lab manager and how it came to an end.
The video was taken down on YouTube due to a copyright claim.
Robert Cohen found his last roll of Kodachrome and went to the Missouri fair to shoot it ; then drove down to Dwayne’s to get it processed, anxiously waiting to see if the film had any picture on it.
My biggest regret is to not have shot Kodachrome more often. I think that the 3 weeks turnaround in France was part of what turned me off.
Presentation of the OM-D EM-5 by Olympus
RedDotPhoto has a present of the E-M5 by Mr Terada from Olympus.
OM-D vs E-P3 with EVF
At the same time as the announcement pekkpotka has a review of the OM-D E-M5 and compare the size with the E-P3 and VF-2 viewfinder. Strikingly similar size, with the E-P3 being actually bigger with the EVF.
Also more details on the camera itself.
Moving to Medium Format
Zack Arias with “Why I moved to medium format” explain us why he bought a Digital Medium Format for his professional work. He also uses a X100 for his own personal work.
Techradar meet with the X-Pro1 designer
Techradar met with the X-Pro1 designer at CES 2012 in January.
Jun Sato, Fuji’s Design Manager for the X-series, revealed that the X-Pro1 was about half-way finished when he received feedback on the X100 that would allow his team to finesse the new camera.
This means that Fujifilm seems to have a long term strategy. The X-100 was a starting point and the X-Pro1 should confirm what they are capable of.
And don’t miss out Techradar hands on review.
