Fujifilm EF-20 v EF-X20 Flash

Fujifilm EF-20 v EF-X20 Flash

The X100, X-Pro1 and X-E1 are famous for their low-light, high-ISO capabilities, but sometimes a touch of flash can make an image pop where is could be flat otherwise.  This is especially true in bright sunlight where harsh shadows and bright backgrounds can often lead to subjects not being properly exposed, or having harsh and [...]

I managed to get my hands on an E-P3 to do some comparison shots between that and my old trusty E-P2, which has been one of my favourite cameras for a long time.  I never bothered upgrading to the E-P3 because from what I read in online reviews, the image quality wasn’t significantly improved and [...]
