Hyperion Strap, Voigtlander 40/1,2, Leica M10
Since 2015 I have used Leica M cameras for event work. ‘Event work’, as in a professional fashion. ‘In a professional fashion’ as in paid Embassy powwows, corporate conferences, family photography, proms, dances, university reunions, and so on, in and around Tokyo. Prior to that, I used a pair of Nikon dSLRs.

The above is an image that didn’t make it to draft. Typically, I rush review imagery, and rarely bother matching an object to the right sort of light. Bad images are par for the review. This time, I failed to return Hasselblad Phocus to ISO 100, resulting in my CFV-50c shooting at its live view setting, ISO 6400.

The X-T1 is hung above the table, near the ceiling. The photographer taxes an exposure remotely from an Android smartphone.
Fujifilm's Camera Remote App is more elegant and easier to use than Sony's WiFi app. Tom Grill explains why/when to use it, and proves that it isn't a gimmick. WiFi remote capabilities are what interested me in the Sony A7r, Fujifilm X-T1, and Phase One's new IQ2x backs. In a still-life studio, WiFi previewing is a huge time-saver.

Very quickly, the X100s has become my favourite digital camera. It is small, and for the most part, elegantly designed. Attach a Thumbs Up style grip and it is nearly as hand-holdable as a film rangefinder.

The X100s is now my de-facto audio product review image-taking camera. Its latest huff puff was an image set of the lush-souding DSD LinnenberG Vivace DAC for Headfonia.
The X100s's wide angle lens and close-focus capabilities allow me to shoot from interesting angles. And, the AF lens lets me wing it.

I am a still life photographer and my needs in a mirrorless camera are vastly different to the majority of photographers. They are probably much simpler than yours. A very few are sophisticated. The first things I check for in a still life camera are: a good WiFi app, a decent flip-out screen, and the ability to pan and zoom at 100% magnification.

I picked up the X100s Limited Edition two days ago from Yahoo! Auctions. (Yes, I know, it's a dangerous bid. But I did it and I'm glad.) All in all, I've put about 300 exposures on the tiny camera, and for the most part, enjoyed every second of operating it. While the above photograph isn't properly lit, it was focused automatically, something that is completely new to me. And, the same image represents one of the first images imported from the X100s onto my computer.

The Leica C is a mashup of many people's favourite mascots, big boy. The full cheeky article is at The Verge. Ω was tipped off by the mighty (and cheeky) Martin Irwin.
After peaking out a a few high-profile events, the latest Nikon high-speed DSLR finally will be announced on the 25th of this month. At least, so says Nikon Rumors.
More DPReview gold from the user comment section on Hasselblad's new HV. Using a Sony sensor in a high-end camera is one thing, rebadging a decidedly ridiculous camera into a more ridiculous camera is, as DPReview member, onlooker, said:
“Sad. It’s like seeing your favorite aunt from childhood turn hooker.”
