Hallo, my name is Maurizio De Cecco. I am actually in the forum since 2013, but i got cutted out (lost the password or something) and for a long time i could not reset the password (do not ask me why). Today it worked, so i am back. I am not a very serious photographer, i try to learn little by...

One "traditional" internet way to organize unstructured knowledge (tips, resource pages, etc ..) is using a wiki (the kind of technology behind wikipedia). In a friendly community, it usually works very well; for those that do not know a wiki, is essentially a way to write a web site...

My two quick cents :-> I arrived here following a post by Chris Dodkin in a DPR forum. As many, i find the DPR forums frustrating; useful to follow technical updates and such, but not a lot to talk with people. I was initially fascinated by the idea of do not allowing for anonymous post; i...

The question is how much an X10 would be better than my now old Canon G11, in terms of image quality and usability. Surely better, but i do not if it would represent the jump in quality she expect after seeing what the X-E1 can do; this is why i am looking to bigger sensor cameras. Maurizio

Just a bit expensive (she really need a couple of primes, too :). Maurizio

Still learning to use the X-E1 (and how to make photos :confused:). A couple of shots at La Villette La Butte Chamont And the St. Martin Canal Maurizio

Plastic :-< I took a close look to the small Olympus stuff and to the EOS M; for the first 60 seconds i believed was a plastic model of the real think, and then i realized how toy-ish was the general impression; i understood also why i paid what i paid for the X-E1. I'll took the suggestion...

Hallo, after my wife saw the photos done with my X-E1, she want to upgrade her old Sony point and a shot. The problem is that she is somehow allergic to learning anything too technical; she would like a camera that make photos as nices as an X-E1, but that do not require technical skills...

Yes, i use the Q feature; the ideal would be to be able to change ISO without switching visually to a menu (to check the results in exposition and on the other values). But is a minor point, really :-> Maurizio

They built a special tribune for the 850 year of Notre Dame; partially visible here: [Notre-Dame de Paris] Ouverture du Jubilé des 850 ans de Notre-Dame de Paris Maurizio

A few shoots of/in/around Notre Dame (with my new X-E1, OOC jpegs). A Gothic Notre Dame: Candles: The facade: Detail: Comments/Critics are welcome :-> Maurizio

Some first impression. Not a review, there are tons around, just my personal, very subjective impressions. First, moving from the G11 to the X-E1 is like moving from a Clio to a BMW (actually, i have no idea, i do not drive :), or from a electronic piano to a good Grand (that i know :). It is...

Lens I got the 18-55. I thinked a lot, and asked around, and finally decided for the zoom over the primes for these reasons: 1) Do not have the money for multiple primes at the moment. 2) Having the zoom give more reasons to get out the camera, like family photos, so it does not risk...

It is actually in the bag, unopened box. Will spend the week end trying it. Actually, as a computer scientist, amateur musicians/composer and part-time amateur photographs, i am deeply fed up with complexity. Want a more direct contact with what i do, without digging in tens of options and...

Instead of lens, try a very little hole in the lens cap :-> Maurizio PS: hoping to get soon the "little" sister ...
