That's what I read (Fuji full frame). Fuji can neither deny nor confirm. Would make sense, though, given Leica's dominance and Sony's compact full frame (that is ridiculous price with a fixed lens).
If they did make one, I'd consider selling my D800...or maybe just supplementing it, damn thing weighs a freaking ton!

Adobe Lightroom 4.4 RC is supposed to fix much of the watercolor raw issues. Anyone play with this yet?

Olympus vs. Z-E1...?
Both look great. I was looking at the Fuji X-Pro, but it cost so much more than the Olympus. The XE-1 looks about the same price, though.
Is everyone using these as a primary camera, or an additional one to their DSLR?

ok so since we're talking about these kinds of cameras. what's up with Leica? Is there one out there that is super nice but not the $$$ of the M9?
- HijoDMaite0
why doesn't it seem like pros get commissioned work with these cameras? Everything seems to be Canon or Nikon DSLRs
- I know one wedding photog that is using his X-E1 to shoot withformed
- his clients must be a little hesitant when he shows up with that tiny thing!HijoDMaite
- You would think, but it looks professional with the lens, just tiny.formed

- also, once someone writes a firmware hack, this little camera could have more possibilities of control.robotron3k
- ya default control is an issue. not very quick to get around it. not as sharp as I would like it to be. I returned it.pango
- otherwise the stats are amazing.pango
- that is one big hand btwpango
- yeh man that rx100 actually is a game changer. Rather than marketing bs.Hombre_Lobo

Full frame compacts are wave of the future.

Not a fan of the tiny m43 sensor - otherwise I would have got the OMD.

What about the video still hybrid?
What do you guys think is best??

Nah go all out and go for the RX-1:

^for purely stills possibly the fuji.
But for pics + vids the nex6. Plus the nex has a compact (slight) wide angle lens (16-50mm).But your better off holding them both and having a play, how a cam feels is so important. And these 2 are both great cams so personal preference of ergonomics would properly be the decider.

The OMD shots are too digital looking - sounds odd I know. AF speed is amazing but the build of the camera isn't great, too small, squidgy buttons and hard to hold for a long time. The RX100 is a nice camera - excellent IQ and large prints. It handles like a dog though. V slow start up and shut down, slow zoom and NO grip at all. It is the best compact available overall though I think. I sold mine, and my ricoh for the xe1. No comparison in terms of IQ or handling. The ricoh grd4 is still the best UI I have ever used.

There's a new Ricoh out in Sept apparently - GRD5 maybe with a large sensor. I never say it's worth waiting for anything but it'll be worth trying when it's available.

I'm a big fan of these mirrorless beasts, and follow the tech news around them.
Fuji colors are epic, to me they have the best color rendition of any manufacturer. Followed by Olympus, followed by Sony.
But currently my personal fave (with inbuilt EVF) is the nex 6 -
Decent compact lens too. And one thing I'd want is great video, which it does v well. 1080 60p with lots of detail and good in low light (not as good as the GH2 for video, but not much is for this price range).
I think the OM-D EM-5 is great too. I like the Oly colors a lot, but the larger nex sensor (without the cam being bigger) swings it for me. For both low light and DOF.
Times are good though, big heavy cameras are becoming a thing of the past!
- snap and shoot as good as DSLRs are the things. now you don't have to look like a wedding photog with a DSLRrobotron3k

I think for stills the Fuji has it. The 35 1.4 is an astonishing lens

I've read that Fuji might be coming out with a full frame X-Pro...any updates on that?
Any rumors on Olympus offering a full frame version? I'd guess not, given the 43 growing support and following.
