Fujifilm Cameras - Are they good? (X100S)?

A few questions about Fujifilm and this X100S camera.

1) So I saw that new X100S.It looked really nice. But, how well of cameras do Fujifilm make? I am under the impression that Nikon, Canon, Leica, and Hasselblad are top dogs in the field of cameras… but is Fujifilm cameras a good investment too?

2) Don't get me wrong. I looked into the camera myself. And I like what it does and all. But, how is the quality of the camera build itself? The camera goes for about $1200 or so.So I don't really know if that's a high price for this type of camera, or it's cheap compared to other brands of the same type of camera.

3) I noticed that Canon and Nikon do a new update to their top line every 3 years or so. But some, like Canon's Rebel line is about ever 6 month or so.My question here is, will the X100S get an update in a few month, or in a few years? I try to find the release date of the X100, but had no luck.

Thanks once again.

What are 3 excellent affordable lenses I can use for my Nikon D3000?

Currently I have a AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G… not an impressive lens, AF-S Nikkor 10-24mm 1:3.5-4.5G a decent wide angle, and AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm. The wide angle probably has the best images and the 55-200 is rarely used. I want something for urban/street photos, low light situations, and a good portrait lens. Something with Macro abilities would be nice.

Thanks in advance for any input! I want to build my bag!

Indoor conference photo shoot backlit problem with my Nikon?

I was at a 30' x 40' conference room (incandescent light) shooting the panelists, however the big open window behind some panelists allowed too much light so they come out all dark, except the window is bight and overexposed. I'm using Nikon D90 with 18-200mm 3.5, with SB800. I tried different ISOs and tilted my SB800 to different directions but the panelists still came out dark and grainy.

What did I do wrong in settings? What are the correct settings?

Your professional advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million!

Wireless flash set up?

Hi,

I have Nikon SB600 and new Pocket wizard Plus X.
I know how to triger SB600 wirelessly in TTL mode.
What I want is to use Plus X so that I can triger SB600 when it's blocked (IR doesnt fire).
Plus X doesnt support TTL so I need to go manually.
If I have SU-4 on camera, and put Plus X on top of SU-4… will it triger wirelessly SB600 (with Plus X of course)?
And will manuall settings for SB600 work, I guess it will?

Thx in regards !
