Recently I was able to assist my sister in finding her self a new camera. After many times discussing what she was trying to achieve from the purchase of a new camera, we were able to narrow the camera types down to a few.

Being an amateur photographer was I guess the main consideration, but I also wanted to find her something close to what she wanted to do, which is taking her own personal home portraits, especially of her own beautiful kids.

We shopped around and received a brilliant demonstration from close friend Ben from Team Digital http://www.teamdigital.com.au/. She was able to play around with the Fuji x100 http://www.finepix-x100.com/, and after some consideration, this camera became her choice.

This camera has some great features and potential, however it does need a little time to learn how to use it, particularly from the viewpoint of my sister who has very little experience with the manual settings of this camera.  Don’t get me wrong she is no dummy, having handled herself with my Canon 1Dmk4 and 5Dmk2 before. But this time she has to do it on her own and work out how to use all the functions including the manual focus.

I decided to help her out and have her send me some of the images she had taken. I would then give some feedback on the setting she had chosen and just some general ideas on how to improve the overall image and commendations on the great images she was taking.

These were the first few images she sent to me after opening her new parcel, and all of these images straight out of camera (SOOC). What I found straight away was that the images had a crisp, sharp appearance, with a beautiful Bokeh from the sharp and fast prime lens attached. This meant the images were clean and crisp with a dreamy and soft back ground, which makes your portraits really pop.

Overall well done and look forward to seeing some more examples of what you can achieve with your new camera.

These last 2 images are images she took, and with just a little edit in Photoshop we end up with some stunning images. WOW. Well done Sis.
