Why wasn't Full Frame mentioned in any of the poll questions?

 

I know it's what I want to see from Fuji more than anything, it's always brought up on forums and has been since day 1 of the x100. The support for Fuji to make a FF seem overwhelming.

And with the recent news of FF A7 cameras sending Sony's mirrorless sales way up...

And Leica dropping a FF with fixed lens next week...

It just seems relevant.

 

The world is waiting for a FF x100!

 

(And Ideally one with a fast 50mm :) )

While the Sony is great, it's also more expensive.....not too sure I like to see Fujifilm getting more expensive than it is now.

 

Just spoke to someone who jumped the wagon from Canon dslr to an A7s. 2 things, expensive glass and still can't chase his kiddos. It's the only system where he felt he had to adapt and still trying to. :unsure:

 

FF or not it doesn't matter to me but 24mpix may be good.

Not to mention all of the Sony Mirrorless are full frame.  That is where Sony has chose to invest.  Fuji chose the APS-C and they are developing an entire line of lenses on this sensor size.  Sony is doing the same for full frame.

 

I looked into the A7 series before I bought my X-T1 and settled on the X-T1 (naturally) because of glass, cost, size, and Fuji's great ability and willingness to respond to their customer base.  The Sony's are very nice though, and I know there are a lot of photographers who use and love the A7's...

Well the A7S isn't really good at "fast" moving subject, a lot things were sacrificed to the low light capability, image resolution being one and auto focus speed being the second. In really dark conditions it's second to none but that's certainly not a body I would take for "generic" shooting, specially not kids.

 

Heck, with my active son even the 35mm prime on X-T1 has focusing speed issues, a lot of time he is blurry if you look closely.

I've been a professional photographer for 15 years (and keen amateur for 20 years before that) and the A7s is the first camera I've ever used that I didn't immediately know how to operate. Canon, Fuji, Nikon are all easy - Sony is altogether different.

 

Personally, I don't care if it's got amazing image quality, the user interface just didn't work for me. Compare that with Fuji, which I picked up for the first time and was instantly engaged and able to use and it's like chalk and cheese.

 

Moving to a crop camera was something I never thought I'd do - I'd resisted digital until the full frame 5D came out, but I find the ability to shoot wide open with perfect sharpness compensates for the lower DOF. I'll be happy if Fuji concentrate on making the most of the crop sensor, perhaps with a higher MP camera plus a lower noise version at current MP count in the future.

I know what you mean. You're fortunate you have the X-T1. I'm on the X-Pro1!.....it's easier to ask my kiddo to stay still or pose! :lol:

I absolutely love the files from the A7s.....it's really very good.

 

Perhaps when processor speed moves up a notch or two......

I did the same too before I picked up the X-Pro1.

 

Looks like the new LEICA Q is going to give the Sony a run for its money.....well, almost the same amount of money, give or take a thousand or two...

Yeah, spot on. No interest in returning to FF, could do with some extra resolution, 24mp should about do it. That said, if they brought out a high resolution version for lower ISO operation for studio work, I'd be up for one of those as well!

 

I like the developments Sony are making, I just couldn't go back to them though. I've seen some of their test shots with lenses wide open and they don't really compare to Fuji. Stepped down a touch and they are awesome but the controls and menu diving..... no, just no!

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      Does it use wi-fi when you are not specifically attempting to transfer files?

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Rupal · Posted

      Hello dear Fujifolks - I come from 54 years of shooting Nikon cameras, and this is my first Fujifilm experience as I've just sold my Nikon D7200 in exchange for a tiny but endearing X-T20. Very pleased with it as it's so lightweight, but very well built. But takes some getting used to the menus and settings after Nikon's DSLR functional simplicity ! I'm working on it though and slowly coming to terms with the new system. My question for now is this: is there any way to turn OFF the wifi antenna in the camera ? I'm particularly wifi signal sensitive and have no intention of using that function as I do all my editing and printing on my PC. I've checked the wifi menu options but cannot find a simple wifi ON-OFF selector. Thanks for your help and I'll be back with more Q's when needed. Blessings to you all...

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
