Thanks. Glad to be on board. There is a wealth of knowledge on this site and so many artists.

Yes, thanks. When I've mastered this camera, I will be hoping to hone my computer skills, too. Right now, they're almost non-existent.

Retired salesman ( I went out of commission). I love and highly recommend retirement.
My main focuses (pun intended) in photography is sunsets, land- and skyscapes, nature in general.
I use 2 cameras - my trusty Panny LX-7 and recently acquired Fujifilm X-S1. I don't feel I need a DSLR as these 2 fit my desires.

I was lucky with the composition. This was high summer and the main street was teeming with people. I waited very patiently (on the patio of Tiffany's Bar with a few beers - hey!! It was HOT.) For a split second - very few pedestrians and no cars, I got the shot.
The camera is responsible for the lovely, vibrant colours. I was also using a circular polarizing filter.

Hi, Boone.
I bought the X-S1 in the summer and absolutely love it. It is by no means perfect - the autofocus is sometimes painfully slow, or simply doesn't focus at all, so for max telephoto, be prepared to use the very silky-smooth manual focus ring. The camera is larger than, say, the Canon SX-40, and heavier. But it "feels" beautifully made, really solid. The zoom is manual. You have total control over it, it's quick to zoom over the entire range, and it uses no battery power.
I set mine up to simulate Velvia film. The results are tack-sharp, vibrant and alive shots. There will be a "learning curve, depending on your knowledge of cameras, but that will be a good investment of your time.
