Incredible India :: On The Move with the X100

[Fjordphotos]

Hi all,

I made a recent trip to Delhi and decided on the X100 (borrowed) as a street/digital companion to my 503CW.

It performed admirably despite its quirks. Here is an album put together of images taken while I was on the move. Mostly on a bus journey to Agra. It's a 4 hour journey so it was either sleep or make images!

Look forward to everyone's feedback.

Yes, the X100 is a fine travel companion, although the reference to quirks relates only to what some people have said and not to anything I have personally experienced with the camera.

Your photos are really interesting in that they show some aspects of the country you don't always see in most documentary images of India. Good job!

Hi Dick,
The two biggest quirks I hope subsequent firmware improves upon would be
1) Very very long throw of focus in manual focusing mode
2) AF accuracy and speed.

Otherwise, stellar performer.

Tks for your feedback.

Were all of these taken from a tour bus? Just wondering... perspective wise.

I was wondering about the same thing. There are some nice photos in the set. I would nevertheless edit it down somewhat.

Do you shoot the X100 in RAW or JPEG?

[Fjordphotos]

Yep they were shot while I was on the bus journey to Agra. They were taken in Raw+Jpeg.

Did you mean edit it down from this thread or in the flickr set?

Sorry, I meant the flickr set. Went there directly as I couldn't find any photos on this thread when I first opened it.

Tks for your feedback. I'll go back to the Flickr set and do another round of editing. Cheers!

very beautiful shots, great eye. the x100 is a fantastic travel camera indeed, it's enough for 94% of situations.

Well, they look like pictures taken from a tour bus...

I'll be interested to see the photos from the Hassy as well.
