A first hand look from Michael Coyne and Christian Fletcher who have been using the Fuji X-Pro 1 where they shoot from various ISO ranges and highlight ISO 6400 and also talk about some specifics of this camera. Very hot indeed. Source
I honestly have not seen any better modern day documentary photojournalism than Luca Napoli’s work. Luca’s work is not only inspiring but also incredibly vivid, colorful, and full of emotions and details. In one word — Bravo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naKnIjB4F7g&feature=youtu.be
Quick thoughts on the Pentax K-01 As the market for mirrorless cameras increases by the day, it is no suprise to see more manufacturers(Pentax and others) adopt this system. Tough economics is certainly a factor and without a doubt the price of a system is certainly one of the primary attractors or distractors to entry. Beginnings First, it was the wonderful Panasonic Lumix G1(et al.) which started this phenomenon.

You can see it on their faces if they’re the subject of my frame or not, you can sense their ambivalence, its quite humorous actually. Today, I came to the realization that folks seem a lot less on guard if you have a small compact(could be a m43 like a GF1/EP1 or a Ricoh GRD/LX3 type of camera) hanging from your neck as oppose to having my camera from a wrist strap and then pulling it up.
