For how long, another five minutes? You are not seriously suggesting he would be able to record another 30 minutes. He was also recording in a comfortable room environment where AF was not in use. If someone wanted to record their kids football (soccer for you Americans) game in 30 degree weather, and was tracking their child, do you really think it will last that long? Unlike dishonest companies like Sony, honest ones, like Fuji, do not like to lie to their customers. That is why it has a recorded time of 10 minutes.Even though he started with a partially depleted battery, he ran through 3 back to back 10 minute cycles without any impact to the recording. On the fourth run with a red battery icon, the camera shut down halfway through the recording. Afterwards, he was able to start recording again only a few minutes later.Great little camera, decent AF, but with a ten minute recording limit. It cannot go more than 30 minutes without overheating as you can see in this test. After 35 minutes it stopped recording.
Yes they get a pass, because when reviewing the camera people do not mention that it has a recommended recording limit of 10 minutes. There were uneducated that it has a ten minute recording limit. While everyone is educated by the limits of Canon's 4k video. That is why people people give it as an answer to my question, give me one camera under $1000 with good AF in 4k that does not overheat. While it meets the first two criteria, a camera that stops recording after 30 minutes under good conditions does overheat.Fuji gets a "pass"? Really? The X-T20 shoots 4k video using the full sensor width (no crop) with the same AF capabilities as in stills mode. The only "limit" is the 10 minute recording time. Compare that to the M50 with an additional 1.6X crop and contrast detect AF.Bear in mind this person was recording a wall. If continuous AF was used then more power will be needed to track the subject and it would have heated up even more quickly.
What I want to know is, is why is everybody giving Fuji a pass, but if Canon would implement such a feature everybody would be criticizing Canon for being stupid. I really do think that a lot of people bash Canon because they think it is cool to do so.
For the 4k video I shoot, the X-T20 can meet all of my needs, and the M50 is completely unusable.
To set the record straight, I am not saying the X-T20 is not a good camera, nor am I saying that the M50 is a better camera. It is for some, it is not for others. For vloggers the ten minute limit of the Fuji is useless. I was responding to the heard mentality that Canon can implement DPAF with 4K without technical difficulties. Canon executives say they cannot. No other camera manufacturer can, especially at that a price point of under $1000 (or even $2000 for that matter) but everyone thinks Canon are a bunch of liars and Morons.
