I’m 100% convinced I would be able to get fantastic images from this camera and lens combo… Chris and Jordan have had a stinker in their review, plain and simple. And all it’s doing is fuelling the Fuji troll train.

I’ve read elsewhere that they admit to not having it set up correctly, is that true?

Yeah possibly Alan, maybe in the video... the sample gallery of the 150-600 is woeful, loads of weird settings by the looks of it too, lowish shutter speeds like 1/200 (which I personally would avoid using at long focal lengths even for still subjects) and narrow apertures when it should have been wide open.

The 150-600mm gallery wasn't shot by Chris and Jordan, or with an X-H2S, so wasn't in any way factored into what they said in their video.

That’s fair enough Richard, and honestly I don’t normally like to criticise anyones photos, in fact generally I despise that kind of thing… but my massive issue here is the feeding frenzy this gallery has induced, and it’s not just on this site either, there are people now all over the rumour site and YouTube etc quoting that article as the status quo for this lens. All because of these early impression images.

It would almost be better if DPreview just didn’t bother posting anything to avoid this kind of nonsense.

Don't assume everyone else agrees with you telling DPreview what they should or shouldn't be publishing. The situation is clearly explained by Richard & anyone reading it will take it on board. If other outlets are going nuts so what? Honestly, SO WHAT?

Plenty of contributors here (and elsewhere) are discussing the pros & cons of the new products & how they relate to their own buying / shooting preferences without getting hysterical. Yet I find a growing number of otherwise interesting threads are ending up with bogus accusations being thrown around when all people are trying to do is have a discussion. (Hint: not EVERYONE thinks that the sun shines out of Fuji's X mount ALL of the time).

I simply don't understand the mania of defending an inanimate object to the point absurdity.

Firstly, lets address the nonsense that is your first sentence, where the hell did I ever say that I assume everybody agrees with me?

Is this the same sample gallery article that has been deleted?

As for the rest of your comment, im not even addressing it... if you are too immature to understand the point of this discussion I can't help you.

'It would almost be better if DPreview just didn’t bother posting anything to avoid this kind of nonsense.'

Sorry, but if you think a blanket statement like this isn't all about YOUR opinion then I simply can't help you. Do not assume you speak for others just because your shouting the loudest.

M.

That’s exactly my opinion, I haven’t asked for agreement from anyone, I was simply giving my opinion so stop getting your knickers in a twist.
The comments on the now removed article were toxic, some of the resulting comments in here were toxic, the comments on Fujirumors were extremely toxic, and the comments on the various YouTube videos were also toxic, and all of them pointed to this sample gallery as the source.
When a company (any company) develops and releases a product, you don’t think it’s good practise to present that product in true light? Especially since this site holds so much sway amongst consumers.

I’ll address the fan boy part, I have made the same statement about people being toxic about many products, from brands I’ll never use, because the point here is about not feeding trolls with ammo to fuel their crusade.

But why do I get the impression that you're being overzealous? That you're contributing in some way to the toxicity in some of the threads I've been reading?

You do not need to put yourself out to DEFEND Fuji, it's just bloody tiresome. You have some valid points in some of these threads but the defensiveness towards the brand is just silly. Fuji are big boys (relatively) and can defend themselves.

We don't need a World Police, we've had enough of that crap these last 2 years.
