Fujifilm X-E2

[robinchee]

The Canon S120 shots, not matter what I do, cannot get acceptable skin tones. The Canon S120 was my colleagues.

This is one power of the Fuji, excellent colour straight out of the camera. Most people don't have the time and expertise to post process. Even if they did, I doubt they can help the Canon S120 images much.

Just to share with fellow CSers who is interested to get a good glass screen protector for your xe2. I just received my acmaxx glass screen protector from ebay. Quite ex but fits perfectly, no logo, pasted on top of black frame without covering the icons and no smearing on actual lcd.

Cheaper alternative from ebay too...A basic screen protector should do its purpose.

The seller also got other screen protector from A7, XPRO1 etc.

The description says "ACMAXX LCD Armor is a hard Poly-carbonate screen protector with UV Low-Reflection Coating" .. not glass. Surface hardness reaches 5H. Poly-carbonate is much softer than glass. And judging from poly-carbonate spectacles lens, those scratch more easily than glass spectacle lens. Glass is around 8-9H.

I am not trying to misled any CSers into thinking that the acmaxx screen protector is glass or not, just wanting to share my experience with using this "hard" screen protector in real world situation that it does not scratch when used with my old dslr previously. At least IMHO, for more than $30 it might be a better value as compared to a Martin Fields.....

Bro s120 is a p&s camera? Perhaps not too fair to compare the two camera? But I must agree that Fuji AWB is one of the best I come across so far. Correcting it in raw is easy too. I use xe-2 during my company d&d and my colleagues like the jpeg picture straight from the camera.

guys, need some advice here. this is one of the snapshot taken the other day, straight out of camera jpeg.

obviously the skin tone is too reddish. wonder what went wrong. From what i can see, there's a little under expose, then overall seems to have a little red cast... is it white balance? is it metering problem? the sky is not too bright that time, a little cloudy. any idea what causes this and how to avoid this in the future? i just shot as per normal, not in film simulation mode, auto WB, contrast color saturation all setting at default. A few of the shots are similar looking, the rest is actually ok.

Looks quite normal to me. Just a little darker. Doesnt mean that its under exposed.

FYI, for asian viewers, we tend to prefer brighter images. I tend to over expose my pictures to clients which they feel its good work. Normal or under expose always mean its lousy work to them.

For Europeans and Americans, they prefer normal to under exposed images. They prefer the richer colors and they are ok not to 'see' all the exposed dark areas.

 

[subzero]

Justpassby it look ok to me too, in face quite accurate color to me.if that is not to your liking you can always use camera setting to adjust or to shoot raw and manipulate the wb and exposure. If you use other system , you will notice some like sony are much warmer and darker. Perhaps like jacephoto mentioned they are preset to cater for westerner taste.

If you're using Auto WB, you can expect the WB to shift as the camera will assess each shot based on what it sees in the scene. If you don't want your WB to shift, custom WB or use the same setting for a series of shots.

looks okay to me as well.

thanks for the input. maybe it's just my eyes... anyway, i'm shooting RAW + JPEG, so i can alter the RAW file a little and make the skin slightly less reddish, and change the WB as i want later. but i generally like the picture to be normal or slightly under exposed... rather than slightly over expose, and i know a lot of people prefer the other way round.

Just a suggestion for you adjust the white balance based on the whites of the board of 12 horoscopes and see if it works for you.
Viewing on my uncalibrated iMac, it looks skewed toward magenta.

I have an Expodisc for WB and it works using the same concept. The idea is for to do a custom WB at the scene and let the camera "cook" the jpeg right for you on the spot; save the PP after that.

Expodisk is good for control environment . IMO

Yes Canon S120 is P&S. Unfortunately, that was the only comparison I had. But all the Fuji X series have similar color characteristics and I'm sure the X20, XQ1 would yield similar color. The comparison was to show color under different circumstances (e.g. flash, flash with gel, no flash). It was not to show resolution or noise differences.
