Worked well, but it was a design flaw.Īdded an L-plate with grip and suddenly it felt like a “real camera” (again, I mean my kind of real) Saw a video from a Swedish guy using Sugru to add some height to them. My critic there was: buttons not easy to feel. The first Fuji was a X-E2 which was compared to my D5100 more compact, delivered nice results and was comparatively easy to use. The D5600 can’t do AF-finetuning, so either the camera works well with a lens or it doesn’t. I was fed up with the need of fine-tune the AF of Nikon-DSLRs and still have a less reliable system than using LiveView. I like both and will happily praise or criticise equally.īasically I bought the Fujis because I wanted to give mirrorless a second try. Much like camera brand though I’m no DxO or LR fan boy. Presumably it will improve as will LR no doubt. I am in no way a ‘fan boy’ and absolutely can see how the analogue look can be an off put or needless clutter but for me I get a sense of ‘joy’ from using it which as a hobbyist is to me more important that all the FF/MF/APSc or megapixel count talk.ĭxO does indeed ‘now’ do a good job with X-Trans, certainly better than LR, but equally still leaves certain stuff ‘wormy’ in which case LR works better. The X-T3 was however priced so close to the cost of a brand new X-T4 that after some thinking I stumped up the cash and jumped back in. Whilst in a local camera shop they had a used X-T3 in and I had a look at the weird old school looking thing and instantly loved it. It wasn’t even on the radar as my inclination was to go back to Nikon but mirrorless. Last year I decided to ‘have another go’. I never got on with it and ended up using it little or almost exclusively in ‘A’ and I rarely ventured away from that.įor various reasons I drifted away for the DSLR and sold it and just went back to using my phone.

The D5600 seemed to get decent reviews and as a beginner (I still class myself as such) it seemed a decent choice. I still prefer (but maybe that’s just familiarity) using LR for the actual edit/masks etc but PL5 returns a far better images to work with than LR does even comparing against ‘Enhanced Details’ and LR is becoming mainly just my back up (for images) and on the go access with just the odd image being edited in LR or if it’s a stack/merge, as I spend more time playing with PL5.ĭefinitely worth taking the time if you have it to go over your shots again and have another look.īut the awkwardness never went away, to switch on the electronic level I need a map to find it in X-T2’s menus (which ware poorly translated in parts) and finally others brands came up with usable, yet compact (enough) mirrorless bodies and (for me) better usability.Ĭan’t comment on the X-T2 but X-T4 it’s mapped by default to the front fn button below shutter release. I still think some images (especially anything with fur) tend to be over sharpened to begin with but dialling it back a bit helps. I did comment on the over sharpening and ‘worming’ early on and provided an image that was exhibiting this (which reminds me to dig that one back out and have another look) but never heard anything back from DxO. I’m not sure if DxO changed anything, but at some point things improved considerably in my opinion. I too was equally disappointed at first and went back to mainly using LR and trying out C1 Fujifilm version (never really got on with it so wasn’t prepared to pay the cost of the full/pro version).
