Trying to decided between this and the EF-X20 for my x100t. Any thoughts?

I had a similar decision to make. The EF-X20 is a much more balanced device for the X100 series. Plenty of extra power. However, I specifically wanted to rotate the flash toward a side wall for creative portrait shots - the EFX20 only rotates up toward the ceiling. So, generally, I find the built-in flash is more than adequate, but when doing indoor portraits with controlled shadows and lighting, I deal with the top-heavy EF-42 combination, sometimes with a tripod. Hope this helps.

If price is not the issue, then get the big one. You can do more with it. It's not that difficult to learn and it works with most upper-end Fujifilm cameras. This is subjective, but to me it's worth it.

Please let me know if it works with EF-S AND your impressions. You might motivate me to purchase it as well! :)

Hey! Ive really never used the sE X1, but I must say that the sE 2200 a II it's really good, and it has gotten great reviews! So I went for that one!

Thank you very much, ALT, I really appreciate your feedback. Yesterday I ordered the Fuji S1000fd instead. For $231 the 10MP and 12X optical zoom was just unbeatable. Now I've got to find out if I can use filters on it, too. Thank you!

I think it is definitely worth it: you will have 18 megapixels in contrast to 12, a better range of high ISO settings with less noise, and my perhaps favorite thing: a swivel screen which enables you to see what you are shooting when the camera is held down low or above your head...without sitting on the ground or climbing on something. I love my t5i!

I use the E-12 with this without exception. The Mont Blanc gives the sound an added boost both in volume and depth of sound. While the X3 has 550 mW and sound great as a stand alone, the E-12 has 850 mW so you are much farther away from clipping.

I've had the X3 and now the X5, no comparison between the two. I have my X5 paired with the Fiio e12 diy, that is the ultimate.

I usually carry my x100 with the wide angle converter and my xm1 with the kit lens, a few filters, extra batteries, and a pair of reading glasses. I have to pack it attentively but I also am able to grab which ever camera I want attentively (and quietly- I have really liked not having Velcro on the lid). The size of your extra lens is going to make the biggest difference, but the two cameras should fit.

I agree with Brandon that the onboard mic is extremely problematic, especially in post. The Zoom, which I use is somewhat complicated but a wonderful way to capture audio. The Fostex FR2 is a lot more expensive, but is a lot more user friendly. A sound board is also helpful to shape the sound, and to support multiple mics.

Sorry, haven't had the opportunity to try and compare the SX1is to the other two models.I'll tell you this though, after taking the SX30is for a test run there is NO WAY I would keep it over my SX20is when it xomes to the discussion of image quality.

Technically it has incredible Image Quality, so not just a good 1st, it's a keeper. It is more a question of preferences: If you like menus to control your camera, there are many others you could look at, however if you prefer dedicated dials like on film cameras for shutter speed, aperture and focus, it is Leica or Fuji X... I started with a Nikon F2, it went with me to every corner of the world. When digital came about I couldn't warm up to menus, did have a G10 that was quite good, but now with the X-E2 I am truly enjoying photography again. Keep in mind, it is not about the technology, it is about what you do with it, which also means once you find a camera you really like you can stay with it for a very long time, it should become an extension of your eyesight...

I wouldn't it's a bit to much for this sub. I'd go with the jx1000 1/d. That's what I'm running to this sub.

I am very new to Quads and RC vehicles as a whole but I am learning fast. The Spektrum DX5e is a good controller and works great. I am now looking to get a controller with more bells and whistles such as electronic readouts on it such as timers, battery levels and various other things I've been told the higher end ones can do but I am still researching the DX7's and higher. The get kind of pricey so what comes in the RTF box is awesome....you can always upgrade later.

I have a 720 mju and I love it. I was also looking at the Pentax WP10... but I went with the 720mju for several reasons -There's a higher ISO sensativity. -Digital image stabilization(this feature is niiiice... no accidental blurry photos!) -Overall build quality. It just feels rock-solid which is good for me because I do lots of hiking/climbing and stuff. I know I'll manage to drop this thing on the ground eventually... the shock-proof feature is nice. I personally don't have a problem with the button sizing. It seems a bit small, but they're spaced far enough apart so you don't hit things accidently. Cheers.

I had the X100 and now own the XT1 and 56mm f1.2. While it's not exactly what you're looking for I'll say that I am 100% happy w/ the 56mm and find the XT1 a huge upgrade from the X100. Not just in terms of image quality and bokeh but flexibility as well since you can change out the lenses.

PD,Thanks for a really informative review. I'm in the process of trying to make this decision. I'm getting a 70-200. I just don't know which one. On your 2.8 w/o IS, and adding a 1.4 teleconverter, do you miss the IS? I know you said you use a tripod or monopod a lot. Is that how you overcome that? Or do you find yourself still able to shoot hand-held? I'd love to get that combination of the 200 + 1.4tc.Thanks!

Thanks for your review and great job on the research. I need your opinion on something. Although, the current price of the XT and and XTi is less than $200.00. difference, the List price is the XTI is twice as much as the XI. I kind of agree that the XTi isn't really much of an upgrade over the XTi and some of the superior features of the XIT I'm not really to concern about except the 8MP and 10MP. I'm not a proffesional or anything like nor I plan to do large prints, but should I pay those extra bucks just for 10MP? Please help anyone.
