Simple camera compare between the Sony NEX 5T (with 16-50 "pancake" kit lens), the Sony RX100 Mkii point and shoot and the Fujifilm X70. All three cameras were set to f4.5 with same exposure and default color settings. You can clearly see the differences in color, and sharpness when pixel-peeping the files. Link to the jpegs. here. To the staff's eyes the Sony RX100 Mkii actually wins this test with better dynamic range, sharpness and more megapixels to boot.

Fujifilm Xf16-55 f2.8 WR HyperUnboxing /
The often overlooked Fujifilm XF16-55 F2.8 LM WR was in our hands for a review. The size and weight may suprise some Fuji shooters, because it is large and fairly heavy. However, when compared to some full-frame counterparts its smaller and as good if not better built. Below is a quick unboxing we like to call a "hyper-unboxing". Filmed at Holsem Coffee in North Park San Diego.
50mm Lens Test just for fun... /
A few days ago Juan Martinez assembled a handful of 50mm lenses and took test shots in order to compare sharpness, color and bokeh. Results can be seen here... enjoy!
All shot at same exposure, same white balance, at f2 aperture (wide-open for some and not for others) and manually focusing on the center target.
Meet-Up #19 at The Cork and Craft /
Our last Beers And Cameras meet-up at The Cork and Craft was a ton of fun. Not only did we get a great turn-out, but a few of us got to go behind the scenes and really appreciate all the hard work that goes into every bottle of Abnormal Beer Co. The happy-hour food was excellent and we were able to try-out a pre-release of "Tummy Cuddles" an exquisite imperial stout. Lastly, we interviewed Matt (@brewstills) and found out about what he's drinking and what he's carrying. This latest video will be up soon!
