It is not easy to assess whether the Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a fast or a sluggish camera. We were satisfied with its shutter lag, particularly its pre-focused shutter lag which was measured at 0.055 second. This is faster than most available digital cameras on the market today regardless of size and type and can only be beaten by digital cameras with an electronic first curtain feature such as the Sony NEX-7. The X-Pro1 is also fast in terms of cycle time. Needing…

Fujifilm has attracted the interest of professional photographers as they launched the Fujifilm FinePix X100 two years ago. Inspired by the Leica M-series cameras which are considered as cult cameras by many professional photographers, the X100 turned out to be a very popular camera despite its flaws and the lack of an interchangeable lens.

Guest Post: Wedding Photography; What a Faff!
I’ve been to a number of family and friends’ weddings in recent years, and each time I witness a beautiful ceremony and reception blighted by wedding snappers interfering, pushing, prodding and staging what should be the most important moments of the happy couples’ day. I really respect the work that wedding photographers do, it’s a lot of pressure on your shoulders, capturing that couple’s big day, and they usually have great professional…

It comes in an exclusive all-black body together with a black version of the E 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS lens kit – the same standard lens kit found on the Sony NEX-5N but in a different color, only the lens mount that extends out from the body is still in silver. The NEX-7’s body is made from metal with a thick rubber coating on the handgrip area, even…

It is the fifth NEX camera since Sony released the NEX-5 and NEX-3 in year 2010, along with the NEX-C3 and the NEX-5N which were released later. Like the previous NEX cameras, the NEX-7 also packs a large APS-C sensor like those found on digital SLR cameras in a much smaller body. But if you take a closer look at its…
Canon Pixma Pro-1 Review: Image Quality, Printing Speed, and Conclusion
The Canon Pixma Pro-1 provides three color modes for printing; these include a Photo Color mode which matches the memory colors, a Linear Tone Mode which reproduces colors with a linear tone curve, and the ICC Profiles for more than 400 kinds of special papers that we have mentioned before. We tested the Pixma Pro-1 using Canon’s own glossy photo paper and the factory-supplied ICC profile that comes with the printer and we were very…
