Funny you should mention the tele-zoom. I purchased the 55-200 Fujinon a few days ago but haven't had a chance to give it a workout yet.<br>

As for high ISO, the X-E1 eats my Nikon D300's lunch at any ISO over 400. Amazing improvement in technology. Maybe the newer Nikons are better, but I don't plan on going down that road.<br>

The only issue I have with the X-E1 is its focusing speed. Even with the current firmware, it's not up to par as far as I'm concerned. I 've been able to deal with it, but I see another Fujifilm body in my future.<br>

<p>Technically outside this week's batch, taken on the 9th, but what the heck, it's the first chance I've had to take any new photos in a few weeks. We had a rare bit of morning fog Tuesday morning. This was the first thing I saw while walking around my neighborhood. A bunch of recliners lined up outside our neighborhood fire station. Not sure if they were cleaning out the lounge or getting rid of 'em - the chairs were gone a few hours later.</p>

<p>Sorta reminded me of an invisible ocean liner in the fog, or jet in the clouds.<br>

I have to agree about AF on the D300. I don't recall any time that it didn't hit focus, no matter the lens used. AF is the only reason that I still have a (rather small these days) Nikon kit.<br>

That said, I don't think that I've ever lost a shot due to the rather sluggish focusing on the X-E1. Maybe it's just the type of photography that I do with it. When I know I'll be shooting my grandkids, I just grab the Nikon. Just a matter of picking the right tool.<br>

I haven't had the opportunity to really work with an X-T1 yet, but if it can come close to the D300 in the AF department, my Nikon kit goes up for sale.</p>
