robert blu Posted December 14, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 14, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I shoot both film (M7+35+50+75 + Nikon SRL) and digital (my only camera Leica x1). Depending on the project and circumstances I choice if film or digital. I'm now planning to add a small size high quality digital camera beside the x1 (of which I'm satisfied) to use when I need a moderate tele (postraits in available light) or not really macro but let say close up shots. After thinking, looking for infos the final match is between Olympus OM-D and Fuji XE-1 . I appreciate in the Oly the camera/lenses smallsize and the I.S. and I feel not sure about the sensor size and do not like the 3/4 ratio. Of the Fuji I'm interested in the new sensor type which for what I read seems very promising. Unfortunately I have no chance to try and or compare the two cameras, shops here seem pushing the Oly and not the Fuji (in three different shops they did not have one charged battery! for the Fuji, I suspect there is a minor mark up!). I do not print large than A3 /A3+ (approx. 12 x 16 inches). Easy manual focusing (50 or 75mmlenses) and uncomplicated menu is...desired! Has anyone here any suggestion or comment? I thank you in advance. robert PS: sorry for long post but necessary to define my needs/desires... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted December 14, 2012 Share #2 Posted December 14, 2012 If you have a Nikon film SLR why not just add a Nikon DSLR body to your collection and use your existing lenses? You have the choice of FF or crop sensor, and you can pick up some used bargains if you're not after the latest model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert blu Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted December 15, 2012 ... why not just add a Nikon DSLR body to your collection and use your existing lenses?... Thanks for comment, yes this is naturally another option, more conventional maybe. I was thinking to take the opportunity to experiment the new technologies...I like film when I shoot film but when I have to shoot digital why not to try the most modern technologies like the Fuji sensor or the Oly IS ? If only Leica had something between the x series and the M... robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
