Messing about with Mum’s old Olympus OM-10. She remarked how good it still looked and how it looks like a quality camera compared to modern day cameras. I have to agree. If, in 25 years, any of my digital cameras are still able to produce an image, I’ll be genuinely amazed. The lens is the standard 50mm Zuiko f/1.8. I’d love to get my hands on the f/1.4 or a 23 or 35mm f/2. Taken from my Fuji X-Pro 1 and processed in iPhoto for iPad.

There’s no denying that Fuji’s X-Pro 1 is a great looking camera, but I still think the X100 has the edge. That said, I’m sure this will solve many of the X100’s issues around focus speed and user interface. I think this is a glimpse at the future of the DSLR world, particularly for advanced amateurs. The Micro 4/3s cameras have sensors that are too small for people who are serious about their photography or those who shoot in low light. By using a larger sensor, Fuji can get great image quality and low light performance and by using a small body with their best-in-class hybrid viewfinder instead of a ‘through the lens’ approach, they stand to really beat the crowd to the market. I can’t wait to try one. (via PetaPixel)
