Hi all. I have a question for you X-E1 users. I wanted a xpro1 for the 'filmic' iq but here in Italy it is not easy to find one used in mint condition so I ended taking a X-E1 which will arrive in a couple of days.

My question is: is the iq of the xe1 the same as the xpro1? I read that the x-transfer 1 sensor has a very particular iq color wise. I am a jpeg shooter so I wanted to give it a try. I also own the xt1 and xt20 but have a film background and was very curious to try the original Fuji x-transfer sensor.

 

Can anyone confirm that?

I'd recommend to read article on dpreview , they have nice comparison of X-Pro1 and X-E1 JPEG tonal curves for different Film Simulations.

 

I had X-E1, X-T1, X-E2, and can confirm that X-E1 has much more pleasant shadow details and much wider dynamic range comparing to same film simulations in X-E2 and X-T1. I like X-E1 JPEG much more, but Fuji made me addicted to better performance of X-E2s viewfinder which is critical for me.

As far as I know, the X-E1 and the X-Pro1 have exactly the same sensor and processor. I have both (plus X-E2 and X-Pro2) and do like the IQ they produce but as yukosteel has already mentioned, the newer models are far superior performance wise.

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      Hopefully these will help some. For quite a while now Apple has put stuff into their operating system so that you cannot yourself open the connected camera’s card and see the images, you have to use their or third party software to do that.

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      Okay, just for completeness sake: 1.     The camera’s menu connection setting is USB CARD READER. 2.    The computer is turned on, booted and nicely operational. 3..    With the camera turned off, connect the camera to the computer using a known-to-be-good USB C data plus power cable (a data only cable should work as well, a power only cable will not work). 3.   The camera’s charging light may turn on. Turn the camera on. The back screen probably will show the USB symbol as well as the USB letters. 4.    Start up the Image Capture app and see if the camera’s name appears in the devices list. 5.    In the Apple menu, select ‘About This Mac’, click on the ‘More Info…’ button, and on the right hand side of the window that opens, at its bottom is a button called ‘System Report…’, click on it. A new window should open, the left hand side has collapsible dropdown listings, the first is called “Hardware’, within it is the USB listing, select that. The right side pane should give you listings of all the USB devices connected at that moment, one of them should say something like USB PTP Camera. Does either 4. or 5. work?

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      Thanks, Yes I knew about the USB issue in newer Macs and macOS but that is why I tested it with High Sierra as well. Also the fact that every other camera easily connects via USB direct with the camera - definitely points out the fact that it is a FUJI specific problem.  Furthermore - I remember being able to direct connect early last year. I rarely take the Cards OUT of the camera  these days. The weird thing is I can connect my iPhone 15 via USB-C to 100s and pull files directly - puzzling. Problem is FUJI rarely listens to anyone.

      Focus Sound on NEW XF33mm F1.4 R LM WR

      By Jk1006 · Posted

      Hi all, I notice that there are some focusing sound on my XF33 despite it being said as completely silent in many review. The focusing sound is kind of like stepping motor sound, and it only appears when I’m shooting photo. I try shooting near and far away and there is sound. However, it is completely silence when I shoot videos. Is it normal or do I need to change some of my setting? Or am I just getting a not too good copy haha. please assist me with the matter guys! Thanks!
