don't automatically assume everyone uses a nearly decade old computer like you do. lol. For 99.9% of us lightroom does work with X-T10 RAF files.

lol..i find your lack of basic camera knowledge alarming. How else will you get the image into the viewfinder/LCD if the sensor is covered? lol! The mirror is gone remember.

wow, $1800? really? Never mind looking at Fuji's track record... lets all just pull random number out of our behinds. Since Fuji likes to mimic Leica, and the Leica SL $7500 so my guess is $7000!

Sounds like a broken dial. Did you buy it new? You should send it to Fuji for repair or return it to the seller.

You are wrong. The Xpro1's release price is exactly the same as the Xpro2. And I suspect the XT2's release price will be exactly the same at the XT1, $1299. https://www.google.com/#q=fujifilm+x+pro1+release+price

i'd prefer not to use the center focus point in portraits. lol

That's a really silly comparison. You chose a lens that suits your "small lens" argument. I can do the same with the Sigma 24mm 1.4.. Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Filter Thread Front:77 mm Dimensions (DxL) Approx. 3.35 x 3.55" (85 x 90.2 mm) Weight 1.46 lb (665 g) See what I did there? The only real size comparison we can make with the Fuji 35 F1.4 and the 35 F2, same manufacture, same focal length, not much difference in size. The 23/f2 will be the same as the 23/1.4 with a smaller diameter front element. You heard it from me first.

i don't get the hype over this lens. It won't be much smaller than then 23 1.4 For example, here's the 35 f2 vs 35 f1.4... there's hardly any difference. The 23/1.4 will be sharper at F2, than the new 23/2.0 at F2. The 23/1.4 is one stop faster The 23/1.4 already focuses pretty well. The x100t already has a 23 f2 lens.

with no viewfinder i'm assuming you're holding that "vintage" camera like a point and shoot to take pics? lol.

Or you can to learn to switch lens properly. You should have the new lens open and in hand before unmounting the old lens. Unmount old lens with right hand (palm covering front element, thumb pressing release, twist), immediately place new one in with left hand, done! No snotty little 5 year old fingerprints on my sensor!

your cons list is dumb. - You can counteract "shaky images" by using proper technique and the shutter speed = 1.5 times focal length rule and never go below 1/60th, tripods, monopods, OIS. There are a million ways to counter "shaky images" - High ISO does take a hit when you increase megapixels however when you downsample 24mp to 16mp, you get cleaner and sharper images than just 16mp images alone. - There is no relation between megapixel count and autofocus speed! NONE! - SD cards are cheap, cheap cheap! You're complaining about spending $20 for a back up SD card on a $1400 camera??

canon and nikon may dominate the pro/consumer dslr market but they are absolute sht when it comes to aps-c mirrorless. I doubt anything they release will overshadow the xt-2 considering how good the xpro 2 is and how many people are waiting for the xt2.

could definitely see the 23mm f2 and the xt2 announced at the same time.

they'll announce it at photokina in septermber guys.

still waiting for pictures of the LCD screen and photos without the "vintage" instagram photo filter applied. haha

16mm 1.4 wr 35mm 2.0 wr 90mm 2.0 wr

did you scratch up the LCD screen too?? lmao.

The exposure compensation dial does nothing in manual mode except change the metering. Your exposure is set by you with ISO/aperture/shutter speed and that's it. In program, aperture priority and shutter priority modes, when the camera chooses exposure, exposure compensation is used when the camera underexposes or overexposes an image in difficult lighting situations.

three batteries in total would equal about 1150 shots. Close but still not DSLR range

Could be a focus or depth of field or a shutter speed issue. Post a picture an example of a not sharp portrait. Like milando said, it's better to use high iso/high shutter speed and get a sharp image than low iso/low shutter speed and a possible a blurry image. You can correct noise but you can't correct a blurred image.

yes

do you have a source that says 4k video will make the camera bigger? There are plenty of small mirrorless 4k cameras that don't overheat (see panasonic and samsung)

based on your requirements, i think the 10-24 suits your needs. F1.4 aperture is overrated. For landscapes, urban architecture, street you need to stop down to get everything in focus anyways.

they are more people that want high quality 4k video in their X-T2 than those who do not. Video capability does not affect photo performance in any way. Your reason for not wanting video is completely ignorant.

if they announce in july, units start shipping in sept is my guess.
