Strobist: One thing seldom discussed in commercial product photography is the *camapign end viewing medium*.
If a campaign is set to be advertised on mobile platforms (Meta / instagram / other) then maybe the difference in tonal color range between FF and APC is very hard to spot, and the same could be said about camera resolution FF vs APC.
So could you use Fuji APC for commercial work like here? - Sure, but it would also depend on the customers chosen medium for the campaign.

Sure. Fuji images print well (SOOC) in my experience. You are 100% right, though, the job parameters and workflow are important. IMO, depending on the customer (or agency), you may have to educate them.
I prefer the C1E default look and the appearance of the highlights (which as you note have more contrast). Excepting the excessive default noise reduction C1E applies.
This was all screen output ? Although I appreciate these are Raw conversions, I would be curious as to how the printed output would appear. Also curious about the B&W simulation conversions.
I respect what Fujifilm have done here (especially with a tilting screen), but this is far from the premium camera that the X-E1 was in the market when it came out. The reduction in control points is very telling.
As the reviewer notes, it's also disappointing that the EVF is 0.62x, and the overall resolution hasn't changed since 2012! The X-E1's evf (although much slower) was much larger to view through (0.68 or 0.72x from memory).
There is a huge gulf in Fujifilm's lineup for a small, tough (weather sealed) and potentially stabilized body (and while they are at it, please seal the 18-55).
@DPR, since you are presenting Capture One Express outcomes for high ISO, can you please present the whole ISO series using that software, and/or compare vs. Adobe products as this site has in the past.
Given historical processing outcomes, and that Capture One Express is now free, I don't know whether it's a correct assertion that Adobe products are the most widely used by Fujifilm users.
You have the RAW images, but more importantly, the platform.
CE3: Look great! Now it’s time to migrate users away from the Yahoo! account login!
And those horrible oath terms.
@DPR: Could you please possibly reprocess (in camera) and post some of the portraits using Pro Neg Standard or High?
Just curious as to the colour impact as against the Provia that most of these are shot with.
No love for the modestly priced and small Canon M100?
Nothing wrong with the lenses, the 18.5mm and the 30-110mm were particularly strong, and nicely compact.
The V1 EVF made it very useful, and the speed features were WAY ahead of their time. However, the lack of a grip, mode dial, standard hot shoe meant that flexibility was poor, and the first two generations of the sensor weren't that great.
I'd love to see a shoot out between the RX10 versus V3 and 70-300mm. Landscape, BIF, equivalent video, and portraits.
keeponkeepingon: Never heard of?
Announced in 2016, available since Jan 2017 this isn't exactly a new camera.
Even the author's heard of it :
" I can't help but feel I'd be okay with a more restrictive zoom range in front of a 1"-type sensor (along the lines of the Sealife DC2000, which I'm still hoping to test out in the future."

I remember reading that, chuckling, and thinking "If only that guy worked for a camera review web site......
You have to wonder though: WHy all the love 18 months after the camera was released?
Well, there are other unreviewed tough cameras too. Pentax WG-50?
Fun video.
Minolta Vectis 200 (sharpest lens I ever had on a compact), and S1 (and then in the UK, too) for me. The S1 was actually a pretty good system; I had the kit, 22-80mm, 50mm macro, and 56-170mm. You could go as wide as 17mm, and as long as 400mm in the system. I sold mine to a collector a few years back.
Pity we can't adapt the lenses for digital; you're right on the money about the small, high quality aspect. The main issue for me was enlargement; anything bigger than 8x10 prints didn't look that good. The film stocks available were also limited; I used Fuji. Agfa and Kodak.

I would like to know what happens to the image ownership. Oath's terms required image ownership by them, and allowed derivative use. Would like to see reversion back to Yahoo terms.
Enjoyed the Dale Chihuly exhibition; some amazing glass work.
Per comments below, huge gulf between firmware added (V2, V3) functionality of X-T2 and X-T20. Disappointing.
Another opportunity for improvement: options for different sharpening (e.g., type, mask) in in-camera, or via raw converter.
A fast 50mm normal and Fast 85-100mm equiv (even if a 1:2 macro) would go a long way to fleshing this system out.
Agreed on the points around charging. I carry a solar capable power-bank for my Ricoh GR when hiking, and it is a fantastic solution where there is no power.
How do the test scores from phones compare to their other rating system for cameras? I do wish they'd rate equivalently in a single scale.
Duplicate. 404.
Does the camera tip forward with the 23mm attached (like the X-T20)? Curious about the balance.
Those were huge, open, and hard to remediate clean-room areas. A full-clean would have been challenging to say the least, let alone fixing structural damage, and moving equipment out.
Ah, but did it fit in an Altoids tin? Love to see that throwback.
Nice connections and reminiscence.
Stop taking selfies.
More seriously - go somewhere else.
