Best review I've seen yet as it doesn't obsess with the pixel-peeping qualities and focuses on the overall experience of using this camera. I've found exactly the same with mine - it's a quirky camera, but it's inexplicably FUN in ways my D90 could never be. I'm a convert! Anyone want to buy a D90?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422247842944775079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528040719432781010.post-62534213006372803252011-04-21T10:05:10.526-07:002011-04-21T10:05:10.526-07:00Thanks Jorge, glad you found it useful.

This weekend I plan to do an actual resolution test between the X100 and 5D with 35Lmr_chompershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10873634675609716382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528040719432781010.post-52456917190736341262011-04-21T10:02:00.977-07:002011-04-21T10:02:00.977-07:00You have written my favorite piece on the X100 so ...You have written my favorite piece on the X100 so far. By relating it to the EOS 5D, a camera I had for a couple of years and used to produce this http://www.youtube.com/v/vz9DGotQ5-k , and a relevant comparison resolution and quality wise, you provide very useful information and tips on picture taking and camera settings. Thanks a lot for writing it ! Jorge AlbanJorge Albánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264315754256756501noreply@blogger.com
