Although maybe is Futura but I think the former. They are all closely related sans serif typefaces. Its called I think playing with software instead of making images. Photographers are illustrators not graphic designers. Its hard to do both. The key thing here for me is to paraphrase "raw files right from the camera". Which is like saying "red hot snow". A little tweaking and these so called results could be reversed to indicate the opposite is happening in these tiny meaningless image examples I think for a photographer, a real photographer to be cranking out internet gear reviews is a decided mixed bag. Maybe you're a good photographer; but most of these photographer reviewers end up looking like photographers who's work as gone by the wayside and they are now playing with cameras instead of concentrating on their work. ... Their "vision"... :) Also you get end up reading badly crafted or thought out reviews. However I do agree with the punch line: " is Fuji the new Leica? In my opinion, NO - Leica will always be Leica. These are 2 different camera systems and brands... Owning a Leica is much more than owning a camera or a tool to take pictures with. You'll get a hand crafted camera with soul. It is a lifestyle and everyone who ever owned a Leica knows what I try to say. " Is a Bic a poor mans bargain basement Montblanc? No they are both pens. Other than that they have nothing in common. Is a Chevy a poor mans BMW? Ditto. Fuji: Leica? Ditto. Just because a camera is not a DSLR does not mean it has much anything at all to do with Leica. And I'm sorry to bring it up but we are comparing two different formats here. So its apples and oranges. Leicas and Rolleiflex. -- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/
