Re: Fujifilm not the greatest in full auto modes

I tend to agree, but let’s see what Fujifilm can do to improve things via firmware updates.

I’ve been fairly successful covering events like festivals with my X-T2, but then, I was shooting for myself (with the intent to sell some photos later), not for a client with a detailed and specific brief like those required for corporate events, weddings and such. If I had to cover that kinds of events, I wouldn’t risk it.

But, I have missed far too many great shots over the years due to AF issues with my X-T2, even though I knew better than relying on AF-C, Face detection etc, except in some specific situations. I’m sure some were down to user error, but I’m also sure some weren’t.

So now that the time has come to invest a couple of thousands in a new body, I don’t think I can do if AF problems are still going to get in my way.
