On the most recent bluetooth-equipped Fuji X cameras (X-H1, X-E3 etc) you can certainly turn it off - there is a menu setting specifically for that purpose. I can't imagine that Fuji would change this for the X-T3. After all, not everyone wants or needs to have bluetooth on permanently, and it does eat into battery power.

Yes, I think so.  Start Adobe Bridge, open 1 Raf picture, go to the  8th settings page ( there is a camera as an icon ). It's "camera calibration" . Into "camera profile" set Astia/Soft or another fuji profile.  Then "save camera raw defaults"  .
To me, it works .   Next time you open bridge, you should see the thumbnails greyish, then after a second or so, the fuji profile is applied and the thunbnails get a much nicer color.

Actually, there is a TON of data processing going on in a DSLR, but much of the data is coming from a (comparatively) huge, dedicated PDAF sensor array (not a few masked pixels on an imaging sensor). This combination is exceptionally good at reading and even anticipating subject movement but not quite as good as "mirrorless" CD systems focus accuracy and repeatability. The two systems will eventually converge (some convergence has already happened) but I suspect the camera with a dedicated PDAF sensor will always have the upper hand for random movement. That's provided that all the mechanical systems that are in a DSLR are in perfect alignment - but of course they rarely are! (Well, less often than one might think!)

Only so much the X Processor Pro can handle at this point in history. I believe you will face the same problem with any other mirror less systems out there.
 
DSLRs don't need to worry as they use real time TTL OVF. No processing needed.

What is possible and what is ideal are two different things.
 
I have no doubt that I _could_ photograph birds or sports with my Fujifilm cameras, but when I photograph those things I use my DSLR because it is better with those fast-moving subjects. I also have no doubt that I could do my night street photography with my DSLRs, but I prefer to use my Fujifilm bodies because I'll get better results.
 
I'm a big Fujifilm fan, but I'm also honest (based on a lot of experience) about where its strengths and weaknesses are.

Have you seen what people can do with the xpro2, to say it isn't capable of fast action, something wrong?
Use this as a guide!

I'm not sure that the XPro2 is ideal for the kind of photography that involves shooting in high-speed burst mode at the same time as zooming in and out. It's more a 'considered photography' sort of camera than a 'spray and pray' one: you see the picture, you frame it, you capture it. The optical viewfinder in particular makes it most suitable for prime lenses between 18mm and 56mm

Not sure if this will help but it made me understand Fujifilm AF a little better when I first got my hands on the x-t1.

For some of us still requiring to shoot fast action shots, we are still shooting different systems.
 
Waiting for the day I can ditch everything else for one system only.

He can change zoom but the pictures are not sharp. See

Would AF-C instead of AF-S help?

Having used almost all of the 5D-series bodies extensively (up to the 5DsR), I would not say that the X-Pro2 AF achieves that level of performance. The 5DIII actually has a pretty good AF system. The X-Pro2 is quite good for a mirrorless camera though, especially with certain of the Fujifilm lenses.
 
If you want ideal sharpening you won't shoot jpgs. (I imagine that you are, given your description of adjusting sharpening on the camera.) Just shoot raw mode and do your sharpening in post. Every camera and every lens (and even different subjects) benefit from different sharpening settings.

Would the X-T2 solve that, since the X-Pro2 more or less seems designed with prime users in mind?

When op zooms after af is locked, focus shifts. It's a lens varifocal problem where the focus shifts with zooming.

It's pretty amazing how consistent Fuji is; one of the things I really like about Leica as well.

So far its great!  
 
Looks good with my old X10

Yes, I think you are thinking of live view with mirror up on a DSLR. Using the electronic shutter, you can still use the OVF, EVF, or LCD. Think of the electronic shutter as more of a virtual shutter with no moving parts. The only noises you will hear come from the lens; aperture blades and focusing motors. These are the same noises you hear when half pressing the shutter button. Hope this helps clarify it. 

I've seen this rumor, too - I have to say it's faster than I'd imagine Canon (or Nikon) moving - I was thinking Photokina. No details anywhere I've seen it - the full-frame aspect of the rumor seems to come from the word "surprise" in a Canon document - they say they're planning to surprise us in some way, and that's being interpreted as full-frame.  Of course, there was the time some years ago when Nikon built a huge amount of press around a BIG event at WPPI that they wouldn't tell us anything about - and it turned out to be a Blues Traveler concert! Many pundits had thought it was a medium-format camera, with all the emphasis on BIG - another popular choice was a Nikon-branded large-format printer (there was speculation afterwards that they had actually pulled back a product announcement, but no product that fit the bill emerged)..
 
Assuming that this IS, in fact, a mirrorless camera (and not, say, a free screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens), there are probably three basic routes it could follow.
 
1.) Just Another EOS-M. Still finderless, maybe with 4k video or some other upgraded feature, maybe even with a new sensor, but fundamentally an entry-level camera for the cell phone crowd. The one way I could see this being successful is if it's "Thom Hogan's Camera". He's been on the big Japanese camera companies for years to make Wi-Fi sharing and direct social media posting a bigger part of their products (whether through built-in LTE or (more likely) through enhanced phone tethering. None of us Fuji folks would give up our retro wonders for a Facebook camera (nor should we - I have a big deposit down on the X-Pro 2, and I wouldn't pay $10 extra for those features), but I am struck by how often non-photographer friends look at my X-T1 and say "but I can share my pictures instantly" . My reply of "yes, you can share your pictures with 5 stops of dynamic range instantly" doesn't diminish how people feel about iPhone photography. The iPhone is among the worst cameras ever to be in general circulation (it's today's equivalent of Kodak Disc), but it really is on to something among people who want to pass certain types of (baby, pet, etc.) pictures around. If Canon captures that, an EOS-M laughed at by hobbyists and pros could sell a ton of units.
 
2. )Still EF-M mount, but less oversimplified. A VIEWFINDER (presumably a decent EVF they bought someplace) is the first critical addition. They might throw in their latest Dual Pixel AF and a new or improved sensor. Perhaps base the controls around some modification of a mid-level EOS, rather than a mixture of the lowest Rebels and Powershot. Especially if they came out with a good-quality EF-M kit zoom and a couple of primes, they could actually sell a ton of these - mostly to existing Canon photographers who wanted to move to mirrorless (or add mirrorless to their kit). The big advantage (shared only with the $3200 A7rII) is that they could buy a body (and probably one everyday-use lens) and use a Canon-branded adapter to use the rest of their glass with full functionality. If they have the Dual Pixel AF in there, lenses that don't work well with contrast detection will be fine.
 
3.) Full-frame pro mirrorless. What some folks are hoping for! Hopefully either EF mount (an empty mirror box doesn't add much weight - it's the mirror and prism that are heavy)or a new mount entirely (with a good Canon-made EF adapter). If they try to use EF-M, they'll run into the same problem Sony did with FE - the shallow mount makes for small bodies, but huge lenses.
 If Sony had it to do over, I bet the A7 series would feature a new, somewhat deeper mount for easier lens design, rather than using an existing mount (that few lenses existed for) at the cost of large lenses that are unusually tricky to design. That would have meant losing the use of FE lenses on E-mount bodies (the other way around vignettes horribly and is really for special effects), but does anybody really put a big, heavy, expensive FE lens on a $sub-500 body? Canon would face the same issue - either keep EF-M and end up with a mount that doesn't work well at full frame OR do a new mount, leaving the new lenses incompatible with existing EOS-M bodies (come on, Canon, who's going to use a pro-grade full-frame lens on a body without a VIEWFINDER?). Of course, they could just use EF - it probably costs them an ounce or two and gives the camera 3/4 inch of protruding "nose" it wouldn't otherwise have had, but you get that ounce and that 3/4 inch back in the size of the lenses...
