Raw Image Reader

Great for RAW amd image editing. Worth the price.

Tremendous improvement in speed of downloading my raw files over my old card reader. Very pleased with my purchase, highly recommend!

The speed of copying 50 RAW files(6.16GB) from the built-in SD reader of the MacBook Pro is about 1 minute and 4 seconds, but the ProGrade Digital SD/micro card reader takes about 41 seconds.

I needed a card reader to get some RAW files off of an SD card taken on a Sony camera I had tried out. This worked perfectly. I have used it since to also upload other files. It's compact, easy to carry, and easy to use.

This is a well made accessory card reader. 30mb image files transfer nice and fast.

This allows my old eyes to see the same image as my camera. Great if you do not want to use corrective reader type glasses during a shot.

Love my C200; for the price, image quality is superb. The RAW light renders a very nice dynamic range. Having all the main buttons at reach is really helpful when shooting.

I'm getting about 380 images on my Z9 before the buffer fills. Raw, HE* images (~30mb/image). Buffer clears very fast, too.

I've owned quite a few digital cameras over the years, some were cheaper and others were north of $3K, yet I am blown away by this $1,300 mirrorless miracle from Fuji. At the time of purchase I was comparing it against Sony's latest 7R. A friend of mine let me borrow the Sony for a day and while I loved the image quality, I wasn't impressed with the ergonomics and the weight and bulk of Sony's system with mounted lens. Another huge disadvantage of Sony was huuuuge files, full of annoying megapixels. I don't print human-sized posters and there was no way to have down-sampled RAW... X-T3 is a completely different animal. First of all, it almost completely removes user's dependency on software menus. All camera manufacturers employ terrible UX designers, so at least Fuji allows you to bypass the software mess and simply use physical dials for everything. Thank you. Another huge difference is that Fuji is incredibly compact when paired with Fuji lenses. They're almost always within 180-220g and it makes a huge difference. I have switched from a neck strap to a wrist strap which allows me to walk around with this dSLR handing on my wrist all day. Portability is everything. You end up taking your camera everywhere and taking more pictures. Finally, the image quality. One word: it's superb! 26MP is more than enough for (almost) everybody even if you're cropping. The dynamic range is great, I regularly recover giant amounts of detail in both shadows and highlights. ISO6400 is perfectly usable and not just for Instagram. But the most amazing part is Fuji colors. I shoot RAW and RAW files from Fuji are by far the easiest to work with: usually they require very little editing, mostly because the automatic white balance and colors are so great. Make sure to download Capture One Express for Fuji. It's free and it's amazing. Stop paying rent to Adobe. Renting software is bad for you.

This filter works well and as expected. Here's a quick how-to for folks brand new to the medium. There are many (more detailed) tutorials online, but if you just want to make your first image quickly, hopefully this will help. What to expect: With the 720 filter, images straight out of the camera will look dull orange and a glowing, bluish white. You can leave it as is, manipulate the colors to your liking, or process into stunning black & white. SHOOTING 1. Set up. Because most visible light will be filtered out, you'll need to use a long exposure. A tripod is very useful here. (Or set your camera on something steady and secure.) 2. Compose. The viewfinder will be quite dark, so use Live View if your camera has it. If not, try composing and setting the focus before (carefully) screwing on the filter, then press the shutter. 3. Note: Shoot in RAW for the most flexibility. However, if you're just starting out and feel the process bogging you down, JPGs can still give fast, interesting results. POST-PROCESSING 1. First, adjust the white balance of your RAW image to give the best contrast and color adjustment. 2. Apply any other creative editing you like. Have fun!
