  1. And now I watched the video, things sound promising indeed! Fuji is doing the right moves. If X-T2 is only the beginning I'm excited about the next cameras they'll come up with. This pays off my decision to hold on changing camera. I'll keep squeezing my A6000 as long as I can and hopefully by then a new Fuji with improved video specs will be ready.
  2. I haven't watched the video yet, but this sounds promising! https://www.cinema5d.com/fujifilm-x-camera-line-the-future-an-exclusive-interview-at-fujifilm-hq/
  3. Well, I guess we share similar feelings. At first, I didn't want to read the conclusion, so I looked at your samples on Flickr and I picked my favorite half... then I read the conclusion and I wasn't surprised Nice article, thanks for sharing.
  4. I'm usually happy with Fotasy products too. This time, the adapter wasn't great for two reasons: The lens doesn't screw smoothly as if the adapter was a tad too small. Because of point #1, the lever on the side with the tip shape makes unscrewing the lens quite uncomfortable. But this is the first case over probably other 30 adapters.
  5. This sounds really interesting, thanks for doing it! I'm going to read it once I'm done with the work. I come from Sony (A6000), but now and then I borrow my girlfriend's X-T10.
  6. I've got two Nikon adapters, one from Amazon one off eBay. Amazon.com : Fotasy AFNK Nikon Lens to Fujifilm FX Mount Camera Adapter : Camera & Photo - https://goo.gl/myzdsK New Mount Lens Adapter Ring for Nikon AI F to Fuji Fujifilm x Pro1 XPRO1 FX USA | eBay - http://goo.gl/Ow3G8U I really like the one from eBay, works much better.
  7. One advice I would give is secure the adapter to the camera as it slips quite easily. In fact, my girlfriend lost both adapter and Nikon's eyecup.
  8. Yes, that sounds like a great camera indeed. I would easily sacrifice some of the features you mentioned if that would help to keep the price low, or it could be two cameras: one pro, like the one you suggested, another one semi-pro where I would easily give up on 4k60p, ND filter, XLR, but yes for histogram, peaking and so forth and possibly 10bit. And for this second semi-pro version I could spend 2-2,3k.
  9. I second the OP's feelings. Despite there seems to be a consensus about using dedicated video cameras, I think the market is not clear at all yet. There's a batch of users who can afford to spend only that much amount of money, and at the same time, the demand keeps growing. It's a cycle which totally make sense as demanding more technology pushes the research and forces companies to come out with new solutions, otherwise we would all still talking about DSLRs only. I too am considering to switch to Fuji for both stills and video. I'm not 100% happy with Sony, especially their firmware attitude. Fuji seems to listen to its customers. I hope they will also listen to people who wants to have more video features. On top of the OP's wish list, I hope someday we will have 10bit and FLOG to SD. I guess FLOG is possible, 10bit is a different story, but never say never. Just my 2 c.
  10. There are good reason to go after old lenses: http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/325-old-lenses-for-dummies/?p=21271 http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/325-old-lenses-for-dummies/?p=5020 On top of the reasons already explained in the posts linked above, which I totally agree with, I'm personally glad I looked for manual lenses. Shooting manual forced me to learn the basics, it's relatively cheap (and this helps a lot when you can't afford expensive gears), and many of those lenses deliver beautiful renders. But all of this and more has been already covered, better than I could do, in the post above. I'd only like to add that there isn't any big hassle actually in using old lenses. All the adapters are out there (and they cost a few bucks) and mirrorless cameras are the best candidate for this operation. Fujis manual focus assist works just great (I actually find it better than Sonys, or at least faster). As for the OP request, I myself wanted to get as close to the 35 as possible. I ended up buying a Nikon 24 f/2.8, which is not exactly what the OP asks for, even though pretty close. Other than the 2.8 vs 1.4, it's a beautiful lens, extremely good for Street Photography and with patience can be found for little money (there's one right now on eBay for $84). I also bought a OM Zuiko 24 f/2.8, wich is more compact and now stays on my camera all time. I shoot on a A6000. My girlfriend is using a Nikon 50 f/1.4 in her X-T10, results are great and sharpness is really good as well. Just my 2 c.
  11. Thank you Tikcus. I'm going to test the camera in the next days and if the problem is still there I'll definitely post here again.
  12. Hi there, I'm noticing a strange behavior on my girlfriend's X-T10. She likes to have the manual focus assist on Standard or Focus Peak, but often when she turns on the camera the focus assist is on Split. The White Balance sometimes is off too. It's supposed to be on Auto, we changed it once to Custom, and now it happens that the camera starts with the Custom setting even if when she turned it off was on Auto. I myself experienced a weird behavior with the front shutter dial. After changing the shutter with the Shutter Speed dial (the one on the top) I wanted to fine tune it using the front dial, but the shutter wasn't changing at all. I gave it another try tonight (we turned off camera for a few hours) and now is working as expected. Is this an unusual behavior or, since we are both new to Fuji, we are missing some global settings we are supposed to set up somewhere in the menu? Thanks for any help.
  13. Got it, thank you. I'll definitely look for the X-Pro 1 then!
  14. Thank you all for your feedback. So, it seems the X-Pro1 it's the best candidate. I've read great reviews about the x-100 and I should have mentioned this before, but I'm looking for an interchangeable lens camera. @ johant: Fuji mainly because of the colors and the OVF. I like my A6000 but a few months ago started to give me problems. @ aceflibble: I've used the tilt screen on my Sony. I liked it for a while, especially at the beginning when it's easier shooting from the hip than looking in the EVF (at least people pay less attention). But now I'm using the viewfinder 99% of the time, so hopefully the OVF will be even more fun.
  15. Hi there, I was waiting for the X-T2 holding my breath for something new about the video. But from the rumors it seems is not going to be something drastically different from the current line (I guess except for the 4k). So, instead of keep waiting for the camera which can do both, and considered that after the X-T2 I hardly believe there will be another announcement soon, I'm considering to look for a good still camera.I don't want to spend much on this purchase. I already have a Sony A6000, but I want to use Fuji. So, any idea about an affordable camera? I thought the X-E2 could be a good candidate, but I'd really love to use the hybrid viewfinder. Considered I can probably get the X-E2 for about $400-$500, is there something with the OVF/EVF slightly above that price range?
  16. Thank you MCF, wished there was an option buried somewhere.
  17. Hi there, quick newbie question about the manual focus assist. Why the split assist area is only B&W? Any option to keep it full color?
  18. Thank you Pierre, than it seems I've to go with the adapter and add the Nikon eyecup. Thanks for the your feedback.
  19. Hi there, after some consideration, I finally got the X-T10 for my girlfriend. She's happy so far with the camera, though the main issue she's going through is the EVF. Out on the field, especially in sunny day, the lack of an extended eye cup it's very annoying. I've looked for an eye cup but I couldn't find anything specifically for this camera. Except for an adapter and a X-T1, the latter won't fit. Any suggestion?
  20. Yep, I use it on the A6000 and I find it useful too, thanks Jürgen. Thanks for the heads up addicted2light. I'll keep that in mind about the kit lens purchase. I wasn't considering the hand grip actually, what's the advantage? Does it make the grip more relaxing? I heard the X-T10 is a little heavier than the X-E2, so the hand grip might be an interesting option.
  21. Thanks so much for your replies Patrick.
  22. Thank you for your reply Patrick. So, I guess other than the auto focus features of the X-T10, the other big difference would be the viewfinder. I would personally leaning toward the X-E2, but I'll see how my girlfriend reacts to the X-T10.
  23. Hi there, my first post here. I'm not a Fuji user yet, but I'm trying to decide which Fuji to buy for my girlfriend. Right now I'm considering the Fuji X-T10 and the Fuji X-E2. What she needs is a camera with interchangeable lenses, will mount old manual lenses too (Nikon, M42, OM Zuiko), but a good automatic might be good as well. She loves architecture but people too, so I thought a zoom lens could work. Perhaps the kit lens, since the budget is kind of limited. From what I've heard X-T10 and X-E2 are both very good cameras, with differences mainly in the ergonomics, though I'm not sure if there's some other difference to consider about the two cameras. This will be our first step into the Fuji's world. After the Fuji for my girlfriend I might consider one for my self. Right now I'm using a Sony A6000, which I initially bought mainly for its video features. At the moment it seems Fuji is not investing much in video, which is the reason that keeps me hesitating in buying a Fuji myself. But things might change (and hopefully will). Anyway, if you have advice regarding my girlfriend's purchase, please post here, I'd greatly appreciate your help. Thanks, Andrew
