I like a mixture of Raw and some pre-processed items. But, what's the purpose of buying Raw if you're not going to process it yourself? I used to prefer to process most of my "non-garden" variety Raw products in a light to medium manner. Just enough to add a little texture, color, warmth and dramatic appeal for the consumer. I have always felt that using Raw straight out of the package is far too risky for me. It's usually bland, un-appealing, and possibly even hazardous. And, don't get me started on over-processed. If that's your taste, you might as well visit McDonald's.

Best RAW I ever had was sliced off the side off a newly caught Hawaiian tuna with a machete by a charter boat captain.

Aside from sashimi and tuna tartar, what are some of the other raw formats you enjoy? They say steak tartare (raw beef) is no longer safe but I'm not sure that post processed foods are that "natural". As for vegans and their raw food movement, well how creative is that.?

I highly recommend the Fuji X10 (or X20). Amazingly innovative EXR 2/3 sensor. Sold metal body. Fast Fujinon lens. And it looks cool.

Great shot, as all have said. But I have a question: if the lime was back lit by morning light (as it certainly appears to be) how did you get that black background?

The base ISO is the native sensitivity of the sensor. In order to achieve a higher ISO the camera will boost the signal but the sensitivity of the sensor is always the same. The point of having ISOs lower than that is when you might want a slower shutter speed possibly for photographing a waterfall or something like that.

But AA batteries would be a must, leaving Olympus out. Check out these options :

Having done a lot of back packing in the Appalachians, I would go with a water proof camera like the Olympus Tough series. They are proven and LIGHT. You know how hard it can be to keep your gear dry at times.

Good luck.

Sure, but I doubt if his pictures reflect on his camera's capabilities. Rarely does. Usually pilot error.

The average to above average person doesn't really need FF.


Ever seen that great TV ad where a famous photographer (I can't remember who - Bailey?) is on the street with a PEN and confronting all these folks who are shooting DSLR, many FF, with great big honking lenses on them and everyone of them is shooting on full auto and when he questions them about the merits, functions and capabilities of their cameras they haven't a clue? So why not, he asks, shoot with a smaller camera that can do 90% of what the big cameras can and some things better?

Currently running an ancient PC with LR2. Upgrade would certainly improve image quality.


I also like the way Noiseware cleans up the noise with minimal to no smearing. I use the free Community Edition. (And LR5)

The handling that night when I took the photo is what convinced me that mirrorless was the way to go. The photos that I took with the E-5 after the sun went down were virtually useless.

Now before the sun went down the, the E-5 was great, and I took some cool shots that evening with it. But with no light...the noise was too much to stand...the epm2 stepped in nicely. Funny thing was, I just happened to just grab it on the way out the door...didn't really plan on bringing it with me. Boy that would have been a mistake.

I understand. Once dusk hits then I pretty much put the E-3 away unless I am using a tripod, low ISO and long exposure. I end up using my little X10 more in low light or even no light as that EXR sensor is no gimmick. Only 6mp vs 12 but still enough there to work with. Not even worth mentioning in the same sentence with the EM-5 but....
