A beautiful and accessible national park near Quebec city. 3rd visit there.
 

 

 

 

This probably has a lot more todo with future Video features than photography, maybe the new Super X mount camera that was rumoured.
 
In photography IBIS has limited usefulness (same as OIS on <100mm lens), being able to hand hold a shot at 1/4 second using a 35mm lens is of little use unless your subject is stationary
You may not have camera shake but you replace that with motion blur.
 
I honestly can't think of a usage for IBIS for photography, that the 16-50, 18-55, or 18-135 lens can not do with their OIS
Architecture or landscape shots at night without a tripod, since you are using F8/11/16/22 to get the required DOF all those can be done with lens with OIS that are available now.
 
Don't get me wrong for handheld video it will be great, but for photography I can not see the point other than a tick box item

This morning Fuji Rumors posed the question, "What’s the rumor you always hoped I’d publish one day, but I never did?" What I am pining for is an upgrade to my much beloved (and used) X30. I love the size and handling of this little camera and its two predecessors, the X10 and X20 (both of which I still own). I love the 28 - 112 (equivalent)  f2 -2.8 zoom lens. I love the build quality. I love the images I get from this camera.
 
My only problem is with noise in low light situations, which I have to wrestle with more than I would like (still, I get pretty good results -- see below, taken late at night from a park across the street.)
 
I'm not asking for anything unreasonable, just whatever improvements are possible to the same basic layout (especially the same lovely little lens) from three years ago when the X30 was introduced.
 
Are there any of you out there who would like to see (and more than likely would buy) an update to this camera?

he has all the means to do it 

I suppose the only people who would be able to do this are the two administrators. Patrick FR and Andreas

They could merge the threads. You can start a private conversation with either of them asking for this.
 
Personally I find that that is, in the long run, better for the visibility of your work.

nice,
 
you could have been keeping them together with your first post just adding to it. I am sure, in the long run, your pictures would have acquired more visibility that way than splitting them across three (or more) threads.

Thanks, Jorge.  It is indeed an amazing place, with loads of wonderful photographic opportunities.

Thanks Merlin for the tip. Took a look at your photo gallery and enjoyed the experience.

Nice ! Looks like a very photogenic place!

B&W Beach

Yes it is!

It was about 90 degrees F here today, and just viewing this photograph helped me to cool down!  Something about the swirling of the water, cascading over the mostly submerged rock, and wavelets.  Not the same as being there, of course!
