those too

yes, choose the firmware downloads among the leses that you have and do the upgrade one by one putting each time the appropriate lens on the camera

I love this forum. We don’t even know IF there is ever going to be a X-E3 and we are already asking about features and fighting over them.

nice but the thread is about the X30 (yes, i put a pic with the X-10, it has the same lens), a completely different camera ...

yes, thanks. However, it has nothing to do with why I’ve started this thread,

why, instead of hoping that Fuji reads this particular thread in one of the many fora on the internet, don’t you get in touch with your local Fuji repair facilities? You faith in the power of this forum to be read (thoroughly!) by Mr. Fuji is certainly a credit to FR but it is somewhat misplaced. http://www.fujifilmusa.com/support/ServiceSupportProductContent.do?dbid=670898&prodcat=233848&sscucatid=664262 http://www.fujifilm.com/about/office/?_ga=1.205666196.665361477.1432290617

I am sure that they know what they are doing and they know that a relatively small company can only excel at doing things with a limited scope. Fighting Canon and Nikon on their terms would be suicidal. As a company Fuji has more than 50% of their billings from copiers. The remaining 50% is mostly covered by Instax (an incredible success). Only a relatively small part of the profits come from digital cameras and within these, the high end segment is the most representative (or so I read their financials).

...they buy something else. Nobody can please everyone all the time. Better to be the best in a limited area than being one of the so many trying to do everything. Fuji excels at this and that’s why I bought a Fuji camera, because it gave me the feeling I was still using a camera like when I bought my first reflex camera (I already used cameras before of that) in 1976.

life is unfair. They hate us.

I’ve thought of resuscitating this thread on the off chance that someone among us here has done this. I’ve been toying with this idea for some time and I really don’t know whether to shed the cash for what might reveal itself to be a one trick pony. Anyone here with experience and more importantly with pics?

converters and high speed don’t go together. As for the lens, it will be depending on the sport , if you need more than one lens you will probably need more than one body because you won’t be able to change lens. If the sports are played on a field like, soccer, the 50-140 and the 100-400 would be a good choice.

the X-T1 has very easy acces to ISO with the large dial on the left, I never felt the need for any easier access than that.

Fuji has stoppend any relationship with analog cameras long ago. Besides, using lenses meant for digital (let’s not forget that all digital cameras correct digitally the output of any lens with electric sensors) on an analog camera wouldn’t necessarily deliver the same results. The opposite, as declared in an interview By Mr. Takashi Ueno, is also not the case. https://fujifilm-blog.com/2015/06/30/interview-with-mr-takashi-ueno-from-fujifilm-tokyo-why-dont-fujifilm-make-full-frame-dslr/ “...Firstly, the angle of light that film and imaging sensors can receive differ from each other. Film can receive light at the slanted angle of up to 45 degrees without any problem, but in case of the digital camera, the light needs to be as perpendicular to the sensor as possible. Slanted angle light causes mixed colors and therefore the real colors sometimes cannot be reproduced. In order to receive the light perpendicular to the sensor, it is important to make the rear glass element on each lens as big as possible to put the light beams parallel from the outlet of the light to the sensor. Finally, the back-focus distance should be shortened as much as possible to eliminate the degradation in image quality..."

a good old fashioned dollop of glue? No seriously, the X-T1 eyecup had teething problems too. Possibly the over-civilized ( Japanese?) beta testers don’t bang around their camera haging off a sling or something like that so, when tested the cameras don’t lose eyecups but in the real world they do. I didn’t lose the X-T1 eyecup and bought the long one for fun not because I needed to. I personally had to pry the eyecup off the camera (X-T1) and can’t possibly understand how could anyone knock this thing off the camera but it has happened . For the time being they will replace the lost eyecups. In a few months they will come with a solution and by that time we will all be talking of the X-pro 3

downgrading software is impossible.

despite what one can think, fuji developers have already declared that they cannot simply use an old design for a digital camera because the sensor, unlike the film, works really badly with nays not perpendicular, so they can use the old design as a base but the lens needs to be redesigned. Mr. Takashi Ueno said" “...Firstly, the angle of light that film and imaging sensors can receive differ from each other. Film can receive light at the slanted angle of up to 45 degrees without any problem, but in case of the digital camera, the light needs to be as perpendicular to the sensor as possible.

sounds the logical thing to do.

the classic lens is cheap and easy to find, this one will be costing a pretty penny, why anyone would buy this instead of the adapted lens is not something that I could possibly comprehend.

I know, it is called Fuji Rumors for a reason.

You most certainly should have done that, and you’ve done that with your first post. After that at least two people told you they had updated without a problem. Consequently no other reports were made of this particular problem on this forum ( despite over 527 views). The suggestion mas made that it might be a problem of your camera or your card alone since nobody else seems to have had this particular problem. So thank you for your report.

Despite general and more important problems in the world showing the certain lack of global freedom, rather than applying these words to assessing when a camera will arrive and what it will be like I don’t see anyone with a gun to my head telling me what to do think about such an insignificant glitch in the daily news. There is much more out there to worry about that this petty things.

It’s a free world! In the immortal words of the Beatles... Let it be, there wil be an answer...

I am not.

How’s this not a speculation? Is you crystal ball better than anyone else’s? It will be there when it will be there and it is going to be what it it’s going to be. Unless you work there or your surname is Fuji, no one knows for sure.
