Thinking about a new camera

Between us, neither myself, what seemed to be a camera-wise customer, nor a clerk who seemed to know his stuff could figure out how to focus manually. I assume it can be done. While it complicates my choice somewhat, I'm glad to hear that the X10's images are in fact sharp. Basically you select manual on the front button (MF) 4th image down on this page: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x10/3 and then use the control dial on the back 7th image down same page. On the rear LCD you will see a scale with a mark that moves along and back depending which way you want to focus the lens. The one thing I would say this camera (and the X20) are not very good at is manual focus. It is fiddly and slow. If you are looking for good manual focus control, perhaps look elsewhere. That said, the AF is extremely good - and supposed to be even better on the X20. I never use manual focus on my X10, and so far haven't needed to. Even in extreme macro, the AF locks on and is accurate. I generally focus and recompose. So - a half press with subject in the middle of the frame, then recompose, then a full press of the shutter. Works well. But a camera liker this is obviously limited. We're probably similar in that we both grew up with good old manual focus lenses, and actually that's what works for us and we enjoy using them. Not to say autofocus doesn't have its place, but for me, I have no need right now. A friend asked me to shoot some pics of funfair rides for a review he was writing. For that, I borrowed my son's Canon 1D mark IIn and a 17-40 and a 70-200. The rides were fast and furious, yet the camera and 70-200 were able to track the subjects no matter the speed - no way I could have had the accuracy of focus with a manual lens, certainly not for the dozens of shots consistently in focus. But that was a rare request and I knew the gear was capable. For my own personal photography, I want studious concentration and just a few lenses I know and can use to my liking. But I also want it reduced in size. I don't want a camera bag full of stuff. I want one camera *in my pocket* and one over my shoulder. And that's it!! Fortunately I've been able to put together exactly that and I am about to get to be able to play properly. I did my back in last Tuesday and have been off work recovering, otherwise my SO and I would have been out last night to a concert where I asked for permission to shoot a band, and was given. The combo I was so looking forward to using was my new mirrorless camera (Fuji X-E1) and my good old Pentax 85mm f/1.4 - the perfect lens, in my opinion, for the job. Otherwise, that would be the camera over my shoulder, with a 15mm/4.5 (angle of view equiv. 23mm on my cam) and the X10 in my pocket. Spare batts in another pocket, and good to go!

K3 seems to target video pretty strongly
Hi all, Based on new leaked images (see dpreview) from: http://digicame-info.com/2013/10/k-3-5.html It seems the new K3 has major improvements in the video area: - Dedicated still/movie switch on the back - headphone jack (the bump on the front) as well as MIC input Not sure that is the direction I would like to take. However, it also has dual SD-cards slots so it seems (select button on the back). For me, dynamic range and High-ISO are most important (unlikely to be better than K5), as well as a better AF system (quite likely to be better).

Re: Thinking about a new camera
Hi Eric: I'd like to endorse Paul's suggestion about the K5 DA 40. Below is a link that shows my everyday kit. Now you have to remember that I am a woman, and as such, I've had to find a way to combine a purse and a camera kit. I start with the Domke F-5XB. The link below shows what I can carry in the bag as a purse and a camera bag. I even show a photo depicting total weight. Now, as I said this is an everyday kit, which I virtually always have with me--even if I don't shoot anything that day. I did add the DA 21mm for the purposes of this demonstration, but normally I would only carry one lens mounted on the camera. Since I got my FA 50 back from repairs, I have that mounted. With the DA 40, you'd even have a lot more room in this bag, and the bag would be lighter. Now the gender thing is important because men usually carry wallets in back pants pockets and maybe phones in a shirt pocket, habits which would actually leave you more room in the bag. I normally have my keys in my front jeans pocket, but I put them in the bag for demonstration purposes. As I said this is an everyday bag, but if I was really restricted for travel, this is the kit I would carry: 50mm 21mm (a pared down long and wide combo). When I travel for pleasure, I usually always take the DA* 50-135mm, so I use a different bag. But this past year, I've had to travel for work, and I used this kit set-up. Clearly, one good Fujiesque camera would be less gear and lighter; this kit won't beat that, and I do appreciate the point that even a kit like this can be burdensome sometimes. Like you, I've been thinking about a Fuji/Pentax MX-1 set-up as an alternative, but if you want to pack a DSLR with fantastic low light ISO quality, this kit works really well. Hope that helps.

Re: Thinking about a new camera
p.s. I just weighed the K5 with the FA 50mm, and it came in at 2 and 1/4 pounds--nearly half the weight of the entire kit. The K5 with the DA 40 mounted weighs nearly 2 pounds, about a 1/4 pound less. The body of the K5 weighs 1 and 3/4 pounds.

Christine, I keep lusting after a new camera, particularly those Fuji's after seeing Doug's stuff and reading Cotty. But the K-5 and K-5IIs are so good... I grabbed a white K-01 as they were closing out. It's actually surprisingly good with a tiny lens, but not so small. It rides around in the car with me now.

Re: K3 seems to target video pretty strongly
I think that the problem with all manufactures is this new emphasis on still/video cameras at the high end. I can see a consumer oriented camera that might be able to do both equally well or poorly, as the case may be for the casual snap shooter/movie maker who just want's to record a few of the kid's birthday and film that special occasion, but the serious still photographer really doesn't need a camera that's even close to as capable shooting video as still photos. The serious movie maker doesn't need the capabilities for still images that a really good dedicated DSLR has. Sure it's nice to be able to use your movie camera to shoot a fee stills now and then, and the capability to shoot a video clip with your DSLR is a welcome addition, but just ergonomically they're not really suited to doing each others job. Now if I wanted a compact camera that took really good movies I'd be looking at this. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/camcorders/black_magic_pocket_camera.shtml Which more than ever makes me believe that Hoya really missed the boat on the Pentax K-01.

Re: K3 seems to target video pretty strongly
The number of advanced camera bodies sold probably doesn't financially justify producing one version with and one without video. The two would be made up of substantially the same parts. The software would be the major difference. You could say the same thing about many of the features in advanced camera bodies. Most of the features are only used by a small fraction of the users. But to any individual user, that particular feature may be indispensable. Pile up all of those features, slap on a poor interface, write a 350 page user manual that most people can't understand and call it a day. It makes a good after market for guys that teach or write alternative instruction manuals. gs George Sinos www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Sat, Oct 5, 2013 at 11:39 AM, P.J.

Re: K3 seems to target video pretty strongly
Yes. It's a no-win scenario these days. The brand enthusiasts complain, the videomongers complain, the still shooter traditionalists complain, and the anti-brand trolls complain too.

Re: Thinking about a new camera
I think Insinkerator only made one model that turned on like that. Supposedly a safety feature so you couldn't stick one had inside it and turn it on with the other. As I remember, it's somewhat more expensive than their other models and doesn't necessarily do any better grinding job. If you can find out the manufacturer, it might be worthwhile to contact them. Those solid surface sinks should have a lifespan much longer than 10-12 years. -p (your friendly plumber) On 10/5/2013 2:47 PM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Paul, I appreciate the comment.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
Hi Mark I have been using bulk film for more than 30 years. I've never had any problems just filling the canisters I need, when I need them. It is however adviceable to keep the bukl roll rather cool, in order to keep the film fresh for a longer period of time. Don't pull it in and out of the cool storage to fast.

Re: Bulk Film Loading
It may be annoying not knowing how many frames are in the canister. I seem to choose either 20 or 36, so I', never in doubt... You can however fill in 40 frames easily, if you want to. But then Again There's perhaps a problem of storing the developed frames. Perhaps you might want to fill each paper sheet with negatives from the same roll. IIRC a sheet will contain 42 frames.
