This week, we have the chance to meet two newcomers to our website and the Mirrorless Monday tradition! One is Jeff Mein Smith, and the other is Lucinda McKittrick. Neither are photographers by profession, but their passion for the art is more than obvious from the photos they’ve chosen to share.

Fuji x20 Review: X-Pro1 technology in a compact body

N.B.: This article is the complete review of the Fujifilm x20. To see our series of mini-reviews dealing with specific aspects of the camera, go here: Macro Test, Low-Light Test, Advanced Mode Test, B&W Gallery, and Photoshow Gallery.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you put X-Pro1 technology into a small point-and-shoot body? Well, the result would be the new Fujifilm x20. Contained within its compact shell is a smaller updated version of the X-Trans CMOS sensor found in the X-Pro1 and X-E1, making this camera one of the highest-performing compacts on the market in terms of image quality.

The wait was almost unbearable. While the rest of the world seemed to be frolicking madly in the fields with the new Fuji x20 and x100s, neither had arrived in shops here in Italy. The vendors tried to reassure us, with one promise after another of a punctual delivery, and yet, there was no sign.

Now, before you go and assume that we are sick with some incurable camera fetish, you must know there was actually good reason for our desperation. You see, only a week remained before our five-day Easter trip to Venice, and in our minds, there really was no better place to test these two cameras than the most beautiful city in Italy!

The Photoshow is not only an occasion to test and see many cameras, but also an opportunity to take pictures, as you can find many models on every major manufacturer’s stand, as well as interesting situations worth photographing. So while I was moving from one stand to another, I had some quality time with my new Fuji X20. Here are some of the pictures that came out of the show. Enjoy!

Fujifilm x20: Review of Advanced Mode with the Mole Antonelliana

Spring has sprung here in Turin, and for the first time in a long while, the Alps were clearly visible from the city centre. Since this industrial Italian city is located in a valley, smog and mist often shroud the mountains from sight, but every now and then, the winds carry it away, leaving us with a view that makes the Torinese (and foreigners like me) burst with pride.

After work, I took a stroll up to Monte dei Cappucini, one of the best places to photograph not only the mountains but the city itself. The panoramic view extends as far as Mt. Viso to the left, carries on past the Mole Antonelliana in the heart of the city, and finishes at the basilica Superga on the far right.

Given the fine weather and clear skies, I went ahead and tested some of the functions found in the Advanced Mode of the Fujifilm x20.
