Your GXR. I've got to say, the GXR shots look sharper and cleaner .
What do you think ?

I really liked the GXR, but it caused me a lot of problems with with wide apertures. I was constantly having to fiddle around with ND filters. I shoot at F2.8 a lot when I take pictures of my dogs and I'm usually outdoors in the daytime. I had to make a tough choice when I got the X Pro which I absolutely love. I'm not going to say one is sharper than the other. I just like what the X Pro files look like. But I'm a huge William Eggleston fan so I like the colors on the X Pro. I wish I could get a second X Pro body so I wouldn't have to change lenses. Because I'm outdoors so much I'm having some dust on the sensor problems. That's definitely one in the plus column for the GXR. Honestly if I could have afforded to keep it I would have. I'm down to three cameras now and once Xmas is over I'm hoping it's two. I do think the GXR is one of the best cameras for B/W conversions. Not sure why, but that's just my opinion, but it's also what I like in the B/W conversion. In the end I think a lot of the camera comparing is kind of subjective. They are all really good now. You just have to figure out what you want the camera to do and get the one that checks off the most boxes. The Fuji is an unusual camera. You kind of have to like the way the files look. It's perfect for me. I don't find the focus that slow, I never used any type of stabilization on any DLSR I've ever owned (I've never even cut the VR on my Nikon lenses), I like the fact that I can shoot at ISO 1600 no problem (which sort of solves the stabilization issue), and I find the lenses have really nice bokeh. So it's the first camera I've ever owned I have no complaints about. I think the D700 is an incredible camera but it's kind of big.

Sunday AM. Stanley is almost 12 years old now but he can still make 3-4 hours on the hiking trails. That said when we stop he takes a nap. I join him too sometimes and let Hugo/Ruby play. I'll be 52 this week and I feel about 72 some days........

Saw the later photo with the 60 so I'm glad to see he's up and about. Don't forget I had Stanley too... He was actually worse than Ruby. One time when I took him to the Emergency Vet, when I walked in the door, the nurse just looked at me and said with an exasperated tone of voice: "What has Stanley done this time?!"

How Cute! And he looks like he's wearing mittens with those wonderful paws.
