Advertisement Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Hi viramati, Take a look here Fujifilm X20. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andym911 Posted September 8, 2013 Share #42 Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks Brent agree...very nice indeed. I just picked up the X20 too. has a few things going for it, fast lens, good focal lengths and very compact. Feels good in the hand and delivers very good IQ. Could be the one I take with me everywhere..... first impressions are very positive. best andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reading Posted September 12, 2013 Share #43 Posted September 12, 2013 Small sensor = huge DoF i'm afraid. May be useful for some purposes but background separation is not the forte of those cameras. For the same field of view, a f/2 lens on the X20 must have more or less the same DoF as a f/8 lens on 24x36 cameras. How does this compare to the Digilux 2 DOF are they similar?

lct Posted September 12, 2013 Share #44 Posted September 12, 2013 Yes they have the same sensor size: 2/3" (8.8 x 6.6 mm). Leica Digilux 2: Digital Photography Review Fujifilm X20 Review: Digital Photography Review Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted September 28, 2013 Share #45 Posted September 28, 2013 Some more observations after the first 10k images - My advice would be to buy at least one spare battery. When the battery symbol stops showing "full", there are a few images left until it goes to "empty", using the optical viewfinder. One has roughly ten images left then, avoiding the LCD. I drained two batteries completely while taking 416 images, mainly using the optical viewfinder. Fuji offers a lens hood with matching lens cap and protection filter, which would be my second recommended purchase. The optical viewfinder is OK, but shows an estimated 4/5 of the actual image. This is not a major issue for people like me, who do the final cropping on the computer screen. One simply should not expect the accuracy of a rangefinder. One of the selection wheels lacks accuracy, the camera has too many controls, which are easily changed by accident, to my taste. The camera is very fast, the AF seldom fails. Operation is very intuitive. Raw-files are 20 MB each. Lightroom appears to need some computing ressources to demosaic the special sensor pattern, even 240 MB TIFFs from my film scanner are handled more quickly. Over all, this is the best small-sensor camera I ever had. In my view, it comes very close in operation to a "serious" camera. Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StS Posted September 28, 2013 Share #46 Posted September 28, 2013 Interesting - there is a link behind the word "film-scanner" in my text above, which disappears, when I'm logging in. Can I ask a moderator to delete it, please, if possible? Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
