Deeply horrible change IMO. Huge disadvantage to serious photographers, both because film sims are useless if you shoot RAW,
Many Fuji users shoot JPEG to benefit from the Fuji film simulations, which have a good reputation and are a strong selling point.
Of course. Many Fuji users also "benefit" from CL/CH/Movie modes, which have a "good reputation" as being a basic and necessary part of any camera.
Pointing out that film sims are popular is stating the obvious. The question is which should have an entire labeled metal dial dedicated to it, and which should be up to the user to attach to configurable buttons.
and because having quick, convenient and reliable access to the drive modes is very important if you are shooting action/wildlife.
I doubt it that serious photographers for wildlife and action would use the XTxx series...
This honestly feels like you're trolling us.
Do you really think no one is shooting wildlife with X-T cameras? The X-H and X-S lines didn't even exist when they released the 100-400mm lens, who do you think it was for? Or do you think that lens is for casual shooters?
When I am being sold a $1500 camera with 15 fps RAW and 6.2k video I expect those features to be integrated into the design of the camera.
The X-H2, X-T5, and X-T50 will have essentially the same AF system, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to shoot wildlife with the X-T50 unless it's because Fuji is intentionally nerfing them into "beginner" cameras rather than "enthusiast" ones.
I buy one good camera at a time and use it for everything (portraits, street, wildlife, macro). I want it to have labeled dials, and to be lightweight, so the X-Txx series is the obvious choice.
Fuji should make the X-T50 as much of a power-user camera as they can, and this new dial feels like the opposite of that.
