    parigby - What in gods name are you doing to your (expensive) X-T1 + 56mm setup !?
     
    I can't believe this, please give your camera to me and i'll trade you a Canon Powershot.

    Jose Potato got a reaction from Immanuel in Ken Rockwell is unimpressed   
    I've picked out some enjoyably inconsistent snippets from this review (KR is the first to say that his reviews are unapologetically subjective and often whimsical)
     
    "The Fujifilm X-Pro2 is... the first mirrorless camera of which I know that has two card slots, which is mandatory for use as backup for any professional use. Neither Sony nor LEICA are there yet; with only one card slot these other cameras are fun, but not suitable for any professional use
     
    The X-Pro2 is for people whose work isn't yet good enough to warrant the ownership of the LEICA system
     
    It's sad to see Fuji starting to go down the same road as LEICA
     
    The fit and feel of the controls, as well as all the dedicated knobs and dials, is the best in the business today — even better than LEICA M!
     
    It's not silent, but is it quiet and refined; far more quiet and refined than my LEICA M9, for instance.
     
    Color Rendition Compared:-
    Fuji  - People: superior    Places & things: poor
    Leica - People: fair        Places & things: poor
     
    Ken, you're brilliant!

    Photography is an art, not an exact science. Thus the white balance can be whatever the photographer feels like at that time. Of course, it is within your right not to like it, but then the inverse is also my right not to like a "scientifically accurate" white balance.

    This is actually what I like about Ken Rockwell - I know it's crazy, but I really like that he has very high expectations for manufacturers in future iterations of their cameras - to keep pace.  This is why, a great deal, he says to stick with what you have, unless certain things really attract you.
     
    That said, I love my XPro2, together with both Leica and Fuji glass.  I just simply find Leica cameras simpler, but not necessarily more capable.

    It's all tongue in cheek, and he's generally quite disparaging (in one way or another) about most cameras...
     
    Plus... By and large... He's not that wrong about things....
     
    For example, the X-T10 does represent better VFM than the pro2...
     
    He likes leica... But he pokes fun at them... He seems to poke fun at most cameras...
     
    It's entertainment at the end of the day...
     
    I bet when Huff eventually reviews it, we all like that review even less

    To those who don't know Ken's reviews, don't take his words literally. He loves to exaggerate his real impressions.
