Hello guys

Hello dear forum members,

 

To present myself, I have to say that I started photography in 2011 with a M4/3 APN (Panasonic GF3) and its kit zoom. I then fall in love with primes, and I shoot for years with a Panasonic 20mm 1.7 and with an Olympus 60mm 2.8 macro. Two very good ones! Two years ago I changed my body, and bought an Olympus E-M10 essentially to improve my macro capabilities (better iso performance and stabilized sensor).

 

I love to shoot nature (macro included), and also, sometimes, do portraits of my friends and family.

I, from my first picture to today, shot everything in RAW; Lightroom at the begining, and now DxO Optics pro which is more limited but better in my opinion in terms of image quality.

 

Then, what about Fuji? I'm fascinated with this brand since at least 2 years now. Outstanding iso performance, manual-control-oriented gear, with nice color rendition, and quality optics. What retained me was the difficulty to post-process Fuji RAW files.

 

But today, I have to admit that I'm somewhat tired with post-processing. It was very interessing at the begining, a lot of possibilities, a lot of things to discover and experiment, and also a huge gap in quality, comparing to my APN's jpeg files.

What retained me is what now attracts me: the high-acclaimed, excellent JPEG output of X-trans cameras.

 

What triggered my coming in this forum is the recent debate about Fuji Jpeg rendering. I am a daily reader of Fuji Rumors and I waited the Fuji X-T20 to go for it; but because of this debate, I wonder if I should not, depending of an hypothetical "loss of Jpeg magic", buy the X-T10 instead. But we will discuss it in an other thread!

 

By the way, I'm french, if it has any importance =)

Glad to be here!

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
