  1. I wouldn't worry about general IQ: it's typically a wrong debate. So I would focus onto some others points much more importants IMO: -versatility. -OVF/EVF -lens park prospects: X100 "system" 28/35/50 only or wider choice for XE2. As the answer is already in the question, the best choice only depends on your own needs.
  2. It needs to be confirmed with a X-pro user but that's right for X100T. That said, 92% cover + parallax = when I need a very precise frame, I prefer EVF. Even if this EVF is not 100% precise but we live in the amazing Fuji world.
  3. -Parallax becomes an issue for near subjects only. -When I'm too near, I switch to EVF. -I don't know for every lens on Xpro2 but on X100T the frame is corrected in manuel focus. -Last but not least, in manual focus, you can still use autofocus by pressing AEL/AFL button on, and the frame follows the distance.
  4. A camera is a tool, and a software is a tool too. You can use PP moderatly, or profusely. In most of the medias, 99% of the readers are only attracted by spectacular photographs, flashy renderings and perfect skins. Maybe people think the real life is boring and they want to dream. Or someone could call it "Aesthetics for the masses". So, in the digital era, if the photographer wants to meet this expectation, a shot is only the first step of the digital production chain. In my case, I use RAW+Lightroom. Sometimes I play with effects, sometimes I deal with simplicity. Depends on my feeling.
  5. Some personal thoughts about this camera Sorry, I think in french. http://balade-en-thailande.blogspot.fr/search/label/Fuji%20X100T
  6. Do you mean none of them says "Sony!"...??
  7. These endless discussions are even more fun when you know that everyone deeply modifies his RAW files through the Photoshop mill. So that at the end, no photographer is able to recognize which brand of camera was used by simply looking at the final picture. In addition, the best of them are sponsored to extoll their "favorite" brand, while they did the same for another sponsor the year before.
  8. I am envious of those people who can lose so much time in vain discussions without losing money.
  9. Lens for FF mirrorless is huge because the sensor is very near the lens. It's a technical issue. As a technical issue, the industry will find solutions (curve sensor or whatever). For now, the mirrorless APS-c is the best compromise between image quality and size. The future will be different from today, obviously.
  10. As I often say: "No system is perfect. Choose a system because of its real benefits rather than its unreal benefits"
  11. I was surprised too but David Busch writes in his book "Mastering mirrorless interchangeable lens": Several mirrorless cameras have a AF microadjustment. Which I didn't know. But before thinking of an Af issue with a lens, it's better checking if all of the AF technics are mastered. For example choosing the best AF frame size depending on the situation.
  12. Overalls, Fender Stratocaster and Leica. New vintage models refer to their glorious fathers. What father could you refer for making a vintage Fuji camera? For example, a Fuji X100 artificially aged won't look like an old camera, but like a prematurely worn camera belonging to a careless owner.
  13. The concept of kaizen seems very nice and I agree with it but I don't forget that some of the original updates were published to correct errors on unready cameras coming onto the market too early. I owned X100, then X100S and now X100T: this last iteration is also the first of the 3 to be 99% free of bugs.
  14. Well... It's just my own opinion but the results look very artificial (like 90% of the shared production nowadays). By the way, developing X-trans RAW with the last version of LR looks better than before and sharpness is enough for me. And don't forget that "sharpness" is also a personal perception and a part of subjective aesthetic. Being satisfied yourself of your own job is the most important.
