  1. Why no reason? I mean what's their point of view? Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  2. What do u mean by that? Will u please share Fuji's instruction on how to completely reset the camera? Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  3. An accessory is a customer's choice to buy it or not. Fuji made the camera compact, that's it. There should be no logic for not providing a battery grip for it as it has a very low powered battery. Fuji X-T1 is also not a very big device, so why Fuji released a battery grip for that???? And where are the 3rd party makers? DSLR cameras are already huge, so ideally no-one should make battery grip for those as then those become heavier, but still they do for better functionality. There mirrorless systems are so light that they can easily accommodate a few more weight for better functionality and still not feel as heavy as a DSLR. :-) Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  4. (continued) 5. So striking features for me to buy this bag are: can accommodate everything I have and want, quick access top chain so that u don't have to pull up the whole front flap of the bag to pull out or in ur camera and it is water resistant as well as it has rain cover plus it is good looking. So I thank u for reading my longest feedback (which even crosses the highest word limit for messaging of the group) and I will be glad if this could help u. I will keep u updated with my feedback after I get the bag in hand and use it. Thanks again. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  5. Well I have quickly gone through all the comments here and found my place to response here. Most of the advices given here are absolutely precious. But I just want to mention two bags, although many here quite envy suggesting any brand. But searching for bags, especially online is a cumbersome process which I have faced recently. So I am gonna tell u my story and hopefully from there, some tips may help u. So I purchased X-T10 recently with 18-55 lens. Immediately I had to buy a bag, so I bought a generic small holster style bag. While it is very light, cheap and compact, it can only fit my camera with attached lens, one other lens (a speedlight and it's remote trigger for me) and a few accessories like SD cards, batteries etc. And it also has a rain cover. But then I realize, it cannot accommodate if I want to expand my gears. So I wanted something that fulfills all my needs. My needs are: 1. It should accommodate my camera with an attached lens, 2 other lens, 2 flash lights, 1 remote trigger for Flash, all my ND filters, batteries, chargers, SD cards, remote trigger, maybe a portable power bank and few cables etc. Laptop may or may not be. And obviously a portable reflector. 2. Then I was stuck between messenger and backpacks. Backpacks are generally more comfortable for long periods and holds more equipments than anything and also u can carry ur tripod with some of them. On the other hand, they are not quick enough to take out yr gears and most of them have to be put down of the ground to pull out yr things. Plus backpacks are not for all the situations. I am a grown up person. I cannot carry backpacks everywhere. So here comes the messenger bags. But all those advantages that backpacks have, are mostly absent for messenger style bags. And then I kept looking and looking and found 2 bags that are awesome and almost fulfil my needs. 3. Those 2 bags are PEAKDESIGN EVEDYDAY MESSENGER BAG & TENBA DNA SERIES BAG. 4. Peakdesign's one I saw first and it was a revolutionary bag. U can see their kickstarter page and u will not believe how much they were backed up for their goal. It was huge, considering their asking amount. Anyway so I went through the YouTube reviews and there are tons of them and 99% were very positive about it. So I was also about to buy it and then I saw the price tag. It is expensive. Not the most expensive bag ever, but it is. Actually I was willing to pay fortune (considering my financial condition) for a good bag, as somewhere I saw, the bag is one of those things for which u shouldn't sacrifice the quality, just like tripods, otherwise u will keep searching and buying bags and ultimately u will pay way more than that one good quality bag if u had bought it. But this one was way above my league. So anyway I searched in Google for best camera bag brands and few names popped up like Think-tank, Onba, Tenba etc. Then I went into Tenba's website and found their DNA bags and their promo videos. I should be honest here, there are some promotions that u see and u just believe it. There may be some hypes, but no bullshit. It was like that. That skinny guy saying and showing all the qualities and features of Tenba DNA bags (which seemed honest) and that sumo guy trying to tear everything and failing (which seemed a bit hype but I got their point), really convinced me. It has all the nits and bits that u can ask from a messenger camera bag, just like Peakdesign's one. When someone really gives emphasis on those little details, then u know they care for that product. U should check them both. Plus it is almost 100 pounds cheaper than Peakdesign's. Then I went through the reviews in Amazon n everywhere. Although there aren't much for this unlike Peakdesign's one's but all the reviews are very overwhelming. So I just ordered for it. 4. But critical decision for me was to choose the size of the bag. It has 8", 11", 13" & 15" inch version. While 8" & 11" are very good and compact and portable and yet carry a lot of gears for a mirrorless camera, it couldn't fulfil a few needs that I had. I need to carry 2 flash lights and a portable reflector along side lens which these 2 bags couldn't accommodate. So I have to choose between 13" & 15". Now I really liked the 13" one as it was just the perfect size for me (being an average height Asian guy) and it could accommodate all my requirements except my 15" laptop. I could ignore carrying the laptop with me or carry another backpack, but then it totally kills the purpose of buying such an expensive bag which is supposed to be an all-in-one bag. So I should buy a 13" laptop also to accommodate in that, right? Hearing this even any mad guy will also laugh, right? But.....I considered that too. Then I found, all the 13" inch laptops (preferably affordable portable good quality ones and 2-in-1s) have some sacrifices like less storage and lack of graphics card or they are still way too expensive. So I am not just quite ready to take that jump. So I ordered the 15" one. Although most people said in their reviews it's not quite big, I know my laptop and I believe it will look and feel big for me, but then hey I can carry everything with me, right?

  6. As far as I know, Fuji X-T10 is a very popular and well-praised camera. But one of the most important and useful thing for any digital camera - battery grip isn't yet available for this camera while it is even available for X-T1. What a shame!!! What do u say friends?what can be done to give it a life? Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  7. (UPDATE) So I have read the response of all the members here. Then I thought, u see, some people are saying, they are getting the amount of shots as per Fuji mentions (which is 8 frames @3fps) and some are saying they are just feeling it has slowed. Then I thought about it more and found there maybe another issue involved.<br />U see, besides decreased buffer limit, there may also be decreased writing speed in the memory card. I personally feel that's the issue that bothers me more. I think the photos are taking more time saving in the SD card after the update. So can anyone clarify is it possible that due to firmware upgrade, writing speed to memory card has reduced? I want to exclude the SD card issue as this started to come to notice after the upgrade.

  8. Wow....i cannot thank u enough for ur elaborate reply. The technique u have mentioned in the number 4, definitely I will try that output. And yes it may become a life saver for me. Thanks again. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  9. Thank u for ur valuable suggestion and feedback. :-) Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  10. In my other thread in another fuji forum, a few people also responded the same. I wish every x-t10 user would test his/her and respond. Till now those who responded, same for everyone. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  11. Mine are 45Mb/s. But the thing is, card is not the factor here. Whatever it was before, it has become slower. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  12. So it is true the camera got slower. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  13. I actually didn't want to open a new thread about it. But since I have been asking and didn't get any proper feedback, I thought I was the only sufferer. But then another user agreed with me. So let's see what about yrs. I upgraded the firmware of my x-t10 to latest version. But I feel the photo storing speed has significantly decreased. I cannot scientifically prove it but I have been using x-t10 for quite some time, and after this upgrade I feel like photos taking too long to save. Yes I shoot with F+Raw. But previously it was acceptably faster. I mean I never had any problem taking multiple shots one after another (not saying burst shot). But this time if I take a few shots repeatedly, either the display goes black for taking the time to save the file while I press the shutter button for next shot or it just doesn't response. Also, in CH mode, it can take 5-6 shots at a go and then stops taking shot for quite some time. No it doesn't slow, it just stops taking shot for 5-6 seconds, then again takes 1-2 shots slowly, then again stops........ I hadn't this problem before the update. Anyone facing this problem or knows any solution? If u have the same problem, please respond here. FYI I changed 2 cards, both same and both are new n original. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  14. Ok so I don't have the same problem. But I feel the photo storing speed has significantly decreased.

  15. So I have a few different questions for which I couldn't make a specific name for the thread. I am using X-T10 with 18-55mm lens. So here they are: 1. Where is the Acros film simulation mode that people are raving about? I only have monochome and monochrome + Y/R/G filter for B&W. 2. After the latest update, I find the photos are saving a bit slowly. Anyone experience that? Both my camera and SD card are fairly new and bought at the same time. And I am experiencing this after the update. Yes I shoot F+Raw but I didn't notice this before. 3. I have set the front dial to change ISO. But to do that I have to press the button first and then scroll to change the value. Is it possible to set without pushing the button first? And if not, I remember with the default setting (which I changed later on) during a shot, just scrolling the dial some value could be changed (I forgot which one - Apeuture of Shutter speed), can I set that also with ISO? I mean 2 settings at a button - one with pressing the dial first, one directly without press)? 4. I couldn't quite learn the AE-L & AF-L yet. I want to be able to autofocus on something, then press on AE-L or Af-L which won't change even after I halfpress the shutter for the next shot. For which what should I do? Thanks in advance.
  16. I think it's 250, isn't it? Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  17. Or u can just set the ISO to the front dial maybe :-) Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  18. Thanks a lot Mr. George. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  19. Hey @George, I need a suggestion. As I am total newbee in flash photography, I don't understand a few basic things yet. See sometimes to use an off camera flash in an indoor situation or sometimes outdoor low light, having low ISO causes the display to go almost black. So I cannot see anything as this X-T10 has no OVF. So how can I focus on subjects or compose my shot? Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  20. Probably this is the right thread because I am looking for buying a cheaper portrait lens (say 85mm) with great image quality and big aperture, but not the expensive ones from fuji. I am ready to buy some adapters too to adapt lens from other OEMs. So need some quick suggestion please. I have seen Samyang 1.4 & Opteka 1.8 85mm lens in amazon.uk... anyone have any experience with those??? Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  21. Mr. George, thanks for so many good info. I am planning to buy the Neewer one now and keeping other thoughts away for a moment. But that pop up flash diffuser is great. Thanks again. Please keep in touch. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
  22. Mr. George,Thank u so much for your valuable suggestion. But you didn't touch the topic "high speed sync" which is my main concern actually. I actually don't necessarily need TTL. Again thanks. If possible, share your thoughts on HSS too. Take care. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
  23. Dear members, As you may already noticed I have been posting new topics regularly about my queries, you already know I am a newbee in mirroeless/dslr world. But I have been reading articles, watching youtube videos to learn as much as I can. But now I am literally lost. I want to buy speedlight for my X-T10. But my budget is limited, so cannot afford a 100 or 200 USD speedlights. So I need some suggestions. But let me inform you my requirements as well as queries first: 1. I want to buy a speed light with "high speed sync" capability. 2. Heard a lot about Neewer TT560 & Yongnuo 560 IV, but do they support HSS? 3. There are lot of newer models (I guess as the model numbers are newer e.g. Yongnuo 568, Neewer 580 etc etc) of the above mentioned products, which should I go for? 4. I do not like the built-in flash with X-T10 because, even in at the lowest power, it produces enough light in relatively close proximity to produce unnatural or i should say unflattering colours. So if I don't want to use the built-in flash but want to use off-camera speedlight, how can I use that? As far as I understand, in slave mode I have to use the built-in flash to trigger the off-camera flash/flashes, isn't it? So do I need to buy some sort of wireless trigger or is there any cheaper way? 5. I am in a doubt with this whole HSS thing. If I need a light source at higher shutter speed, why not use a constant light souce i.e. LED flashes rather than conventional speed lights? Please mention some model numbers of the products if you want to recommend any. Again thanks a lot guys in advance. You helped me a lot before and I know you will do the same this time also.
  24. Yah this helps a lot. Thanks a lot mister Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
