    Scalatron got a reaction from Edward McKee in Flash!   
    OK, I guess no one on here uses the flash...
     
     
    ... but if you do, for some reason known only to Fujifilm the camera cannot be in silent mode. However, I still can't figure out how to change the flash settings lol.

    Psychic function button so I can control it with the power of my mind!

    Failing that better AF - more points basically. Er,... can't think of much else really, small increase in pixels to 20MP but not that fussed. Move the card slot to the side so I don't have to remove my tripod QR, some weather sealing. I'm happy with it and glad I feel I have a camera and not an electronic gadget that needs constantly updating.

    Before this thread got hi-jacked the OP was asking about RAW processors. He's right LR 5.7.1 doesn't support X-T10 RAF's, as it came out just afterwards. Incidentally Photoshop CS6 does support it through ACR 9.1. I've never tried Irident, although I've heard good reports.
     
    I use RawTheapee as my default processor and can't rate it highly enough. It's very powerful and specifically supports X-trans sensors. It can be a bit intimidating at first but stick with it and you get great results - I find the fine detail rendering and tonal subtlety I get is way better than Adobe. I sometimes save as an unsharpend TIFF and then selectively sharpen in Photoshop.

    Another RAW processor I used with my Sony (before I saw the light!) was Capture One. It really made my Sony files pop but I wasn't as impressed with the results from my Fuji - your mileage may vary. You can download a trial of Capture One but it is quite processor intensive.
     
    Lasty Silkypix works well as a quick and dirty processor with full compatibility with Fuji's film simulations. I found it a bit clumsy but it has it's fans and it's endorsed by Fuji.

    Best RAW processor I've used is RawTherapee, I find it gives great results regarding detail and tonality and it's free which amazes me. Sadly it doesn't have local editing tools so it's back into CS6 as a TIFF for that.

    Hi, after using Nikon for years I switched to Sony last year mainly to reduce size and weight. While this worked well I didn't realise how fiddly and annoying button pushing would be on a a6000 and how utterly soulless the experience would be. Sony's apathy to crop sensor lenses didn't help - just two E fit primes, the 35mm and 50mm unless you buy fullframe FE 'Zeiss' (Sony with Zeiss logo and price tag). It was while I was in a department store looking at laptops I came across the camera department and was immediately attracted to a graphite X-T1. As soon as I looked through the viewfinder I knew I was selling the Sony! Here was a camera that didn't feel like an electronic box, one with dials and aperture ring but smaller than the Nikon, similar in size to my first SLR the OM-1. The next day I part exchanged the Sony for a black X-T1 and loving it.

    I'm new to this camera but... I wouldn't mind the option of lossless RAW if Fuji could put it on their next update.

    I think the Samyang 85mm f1.4 is a great choice but pricier than others unless you can find one second hand. It will tune up your focusing skills!
