Hah, I wasn't referring to you when I said that. I was talking to Val, the OP, who said "There is just a clear lack of clarity and there is a weird loss of detail with running water but then a moire/digital sharpening look on sticks/fences/wires.". That's where I completely disagree. The footage is, at least in my opinion, is beautiful.
 
And to seventn, that video is great! Motivates me to go out and capture more footage.

I left canon after the 5Dmk3, so your comment about that is accurate.
 
Also, regarding:  "I wholeheartedly disagree with you that the X-T2 has a lack of clarity and detail or moire. I do think that moire is a little more noticeable in 1080 than 4k, but other than that I think the video files look amazing."
I was referring to the photos, not the video. The video looks very nice.

I agree with you. No lack of detail with the xt-2 video. Every camera I have struggles (codec) with moving water, moving leaves and flames/fire. Just too complex to render with that much compression.
 
I don't agree with the OP that it should be Fujifilm's #1 priority but nowadays, you can't ignore video. I don't see how making the video better is killing the photo side. That's just plane short sighted. If someone doesn't want to do video, don't....
 
I would like Fujifilm to improve a few things on the video side and if they do, I will be ready to ditch a few Sony's I keep around (a6500) but that I don't like to shoot with. They are not bad but the colors is are an issue. I simply cannot edit footage straight out of camera without doing a lot of grading (not even talking about LOG footage). But the footage out of my XT2 is much closer to where I want it straight out of camera. I'm the one that shot and edited that little film called 
.  
I never would have been able to do that (OOC) with my A7rII or A7sII.... 
 
Go Fujifilm and please, make the "impossible" happen; come out with stabilized sensor!!! ....or at least make more lenses available with IS (start with 16-55 f2.8)

Ooh, video, something I can confidently chime in on here!
 
Actually, FujiRumors recently shared an article I wrote regarding shooting video with the X-T2. You can read it here:

I would like to point out that I'm a working freelance videographer. I was the main camera op on a show for the Lifestyle network and have also worked in varying capacities with Fox Sports, Time Warner, HGTV, and the Travel Channel. I'm currently in the (very early) process of producing a documentary.
 
I agree that Fujifilm should definitely add more video features. I love having one camera that can take fantastic video and fantastic photos. 
 
Those of you who say you got tired of Canon because they focused so much on video must have left Canon a looooong time ago. They stopped focusing on video after the 5DIII. None of the consumer/prosumer cameras can shoot 4K except for the 5DIV, and even then only in the most archaic and inefficient codec imaginable. Lots of video friends of mine have shifted away from Canon to Panasonic and Sony for this reason.
 
I wholeheartedly disagree with you that the X-T2 has a lack of clarity and detail or moire. I do think that moire is a little more noticeable in 1080 than 4k, but other than that I think the video files look amazing. When I first viewed my footage on my 4K TV, I was stunned by how good the colors looked and how clean the image was. 
 
I will be renting an Atomos Ninja Flame soon and will film a review of my results for Youtube probably in the next month or so. But for now, the 4:2:0 image straight to my SD card from my X-T2 is, in my opinion, fantastic, and I can't wait to see what this rumored "ultimate X series camera" will bring to the table in regards to video.
