The manual controls and absence of PASM mode dial is THE reason I got a Fuji. I found it more intuitive and direct than twirling anonymous control wheels. Different strokes I guess.

I was about to dis it too but I saw the video and I'm impressed. It may look goofy and there are alternatives but it does address a real issue and quite effectively so. Granted, it is as not...

Yes. Reasons: (1) Better AF. (2) Locking dials and stiffer EC dial improve handling. (3) The AF joystick is a God-send.

Though I don't have an X-Pro body, I think Fuji would indeed be missing the bus if they don't allow framing with this lens on the optical viewfinder. Umm... that's what I said. Again, no argument. ...

I tried the 40mm FoV. It is a tad too wide for the way I see the world and I don't like the handling of Fuji's 27. Actually, I was not planning on the 50-140 at all. I knew I wanted a zoom for wide ...

Great response. I also love my F2 and I concur that blurring an undesirable background can be viewed as a cop-out on proper composition. That said, points 2 and 3 was my reasoning for getting the ...

If I can afford it and it’s not too large then I will buy it. For me, the reasoning is simple. I like the 50mm (equivalent) field of view. This lens could replace my 35F2 for the following reasons: (1) ...

Both the 16-80 and the 33 F1 are very exciting. The former will hopefully make for a very versatile walk-around lens, especially if it has decent close focus ability. I think its wider zoom range ...

@falconeyes, Paulness is correct. And so are you. You are, as he pointed out, talking about two different things. He is talking about what the effective maximum theoretical resolution of an image...

Ah the fun of macro-photography... repetition, repetition, repetition. You should not expect a hit-rate higher than 1 in 10 outside of a studio setting - and that's after you become really good at ...

EVF lag has been minimized in recent bodies and, since it is not the only source of lag wrt image capture, I don't think it's an issue anymore. See the shutter lag of the X-T2 vs the much higher ...

Not an expert by any means but have done the odd shooting in an indoor sports venue. The tennis court and the camera have nothing to do with it, but that's a topic for another time. :-P I would put ...

@Bryan Gaz, would be interesting for sure.

@Hachu21, I am well aware that volatile memory is orders of magnitude faster. However, it is also something camera manufacturers are often stingy with. I...

Does this mean camera manufacturers can skip the internal buffer? Surely no consumer camera can produce more than 1GB/sec of data?

Actually, you’re the one being melodramatic. A Fuji rep/service centre was horrible and you (a) inferred that the entire Fuji company sucks and (b) decided to sell your gear. Who’s overreacting? Go ...

Shows that just a few lax service reps can undo all the good work upstream. My experience with Fuji Canada service (for my X-10, nothing untoward with my X-T2 or its lenses so far, knock on wood) ...

Just a quick note on that. I don't think shooting using AF would equate your camera to a point & shoot (or make you less skilled) but it will definitely increase your hit rate. If someone told you ...

Which one did they standardize on though? Hint, it's not the archaic one. :)

Ummm... the car is only $1. It's the GoPro that's $120.

Would have been a great burn... except NASA uses the metric system.
