It seems to me the. real problem is that Fuji appear not to have released the sourcecode to their raw converter to the software guys.

My comment was in reference to 'underexposure' not performance.

Most of the cons look like fishing for something negative to say.

"Underexposed video in very low-light conditions"

Not on the evidence of that video. Unless it was actually early evening and...

The EXR chooses a higher ISO (800) in order to reduce flash intensity, which makes for a better balance between foreground (flash) and background light with acceptable levels of noise. It's even...

Sure, but the lenses are different. Sony lenses are on the mediocre side, Olympus has bokeh issues (and sure, many don't need much OOF rendering but plenty do). With the entirely different...

All things being equal, the chances are the bigger market will bring in more revenue (profits and margins being another matter; that being of doing it right/success). With that potential in mind,...

Sure, but all things being equal the cheaper camera market is usually bigger. It may not have been cracked yet, by Nikon etc, but it's only a matter of time (and perhaps AF speed), but Fuji would...

hmmm, I think those pics could have done with DR400.

Lots of un-businesslike thinking going on here.  Their business plan/model probably included what we are seeing now, and it can only be a benefit to those using the higher end stuff.  The X-Pro 1...

Thanks to that earlier post (I don't have any examples of my own) here's a comparison of 135mm vs 350mm (with permission from Stephen Eastwood of stepheneastwood.com) : I seem unable to place an...

A curved back would be more useful to me. I favour Samsung phones because they are plastic, thin and light in my pocket; the opposite of HTC. A curved back would mean a better fit on my leg.

Well, that's one opinion but I would consider those merely incidental. Even a 50mm equiv will do all that, other than accurate representation (unless you step back and heavily crop). And it's the...

he he The way I see it 85mm is the absolute minimum for getting a portrait. Anything less and the distortion is obvious.  That's why it's the portrait lens, but really for a serious pro...

huh? I think you are getting muddled up here. To get the 135mm perspective, and cancel even more distortion, I need to step back. "You'd need to move in closer for comparable view" That's not...

I'm not disagreeing with everything you are saying here, but the 'Pro' moniker is something of a stretch (and marketing cheat) both in the Camera, which is really not pro, and the lenses which...

..and perhaps I should add that I'm dissapointed at the 56mm f1.2 since a serious portraitist wants a lot more than 85mm equiv. Minimum 135mm equiv. I'll be getting that lens but taking several...

I think the complaints are justified. It's implicitly marketed as a pro system, but with decidedly non-pro specs including software restrictions that are simply not necessary. For example: Lack of...

Quite likely it depends on the country. In the Uk I've had two issues for which the service wasn't great. A fuji F30 that had a severe soft-on-the-left problem. Unfixed the first time around,...

Original? Like eating caviar with ketchup.

For 5 times the price one would hope that they improve on their dire multi-coatings. Cine means atmosphere and atmosphere requires plenty of backlighting.
