Personal opinion: Those two idiots are often more wrong than right. Proceed with caution. JPEG's are the World standard. Nuff said.

Lightroom Classic does provide for this now. I, however switched to Capture One Pro (paid version), kicking and screaming over a year ago and I love it! I fought myself over switching for the editing process for ever. I still use Lightroom to catalog and for collections and only use C1Pro for my editing of the raw files. The reason I switched over is because I saw the amazing difference between LR and C1Pro when processing the Fuji raw files. After almost two years of editing in C1Pro I have it down to a science. Each camera body has it's own sharpening algorithm setup so upon import in C1 the sharpening for that specific body is applied. All I have to do then is tweak the files however I want. As I said I fought against moving over for quite some time. But then I downloaded the FREE Fuji version of C1 tried it and fell in love. I then went out and bought the FULL Pro version because I decided to process my old(er) Nikon files, and my Mavic Pro DNG files through C1Pro and IMHO you can see the difference.

Not to be a jerk here but unless you rub the camera up on other people you don't. Well, at least I don't. With that having been said with tongue-in-cheek humor the only time I wipe any of my cameras down is when I'm at the shore, or anywhere near salt water/air. Then I use old, soft cloth diapers I kept from when my girls where babies (30 years ago), moisten them ever so slightly, and wipe the gear down. But first, I use a blower to get out and errant sand particles, then a fine camel hair brush to wipe. That's the extent of my cleaning and again only when I'm near salt water/air

Ive made 30 x 20 from my XT1 which was "only 16mp". Now with my XT2 and XH-1 I honestly haven't made anything larger than that same size 30" x 20" and I cannot tell the difference. I am a firm believer in "shot Discipline". To me, this is much more critical than the megapixel count. I find myself focusing with auto focus, then switching to manual to micro tune. I have a solid tripod, I use my 2 second self timer, and if the situation permits I use the electronic shutter just in case. I also block the wind with my body if need be. All these combined will help you achieve amazing results. To me these are more important now than ever as I now shoot with not only my X camera(s) but my medium format Fuji gear. I have yet to print larger than 13 x 19" from the GFX but I do have plans to print a 50 x 40" print on acrylic/glass. I need to generate that 200mb tiff to send in to the printer. Hope this helps. Just keep in mind it's not always megapixels...

I'd love that thought. Between my XT1, XT2, and XH1 I have used the video function no more than five times in seven years of ownership. Now I own the GFX 50r and why the hell does that beast have video!? It makes absolutely no sense other than to satisfy a few users who must have video. I have never liked video, and don't even shoot video with my iPhone.

I own the X-T1, which I now use as my fake XPro2 or 3 with the 27mm 2.8 lens. I love that camera. However, it is rather tiny compared to the X-H1 and even the X-T2. Have you tried those? In additions I ALWAYS had an issue with the X-T1 and the almost recessed buttons on the back. I even tried Sugaru to raise them which worked for a while, but it does come off. You may want to consider another camera body and use the X-T1, like a compact - which is what I do now. I keep it in my bag and pull it out whenever the opportunity arises during my commute.

I've started using my old Minolta glass such as the 58 1.4 (no vignetting), and my 135mm 2.8 also with no vignetting on my 50R. Are the lenses as exquisite as my GFX lenses? No, but they are ultra light and lovely and fun to use.

I try to turn off IS whenever I'm on a tripod with ALL my Fuji's. That is: when I remember. However, when I do not I honestly can't tell the difference. But, I'm sure if I were to make a 40 x 30 print from my 50R there "may" be a subtle difference? Maybe? I always say better safe than sorry. Look, you went through all the expense of getting the equipment, traveling to a location, and the time to be there and capture the image you've always wanted. Why not play it safe? As I said I try to, but I do forget at times and have not noticed any difference in prints up to 20 x 20" so far.

I own the 50R with the 32-64 (Amazing) and the 45 2.8 (even more amazing). I just started using my older Minolta lenses such as my 58 1.4, and especially my 135 2.8 (which on the 50r makes it a 105mm lens) and so far I must say it's pretty decent. Are the images GFX quality? Heck no, but it's not too shabby. I have/had been using my Minolta glass on my X-E1, and all my subsequent cameras. I honestly didn't think it would work on the 50r well at all, but it's not bad. Once I've done further testing I'll report back. J

I think that's insane. Why not get a protective glass cover over it, then use Gafer tape to seal it up instead of destroying the aesthetics and maybe, just maybe the functionality of the camera. Just sayin'

Theoria Apothasis. The Angry Photographer. Down to earth. No BS. No affiliate links so he doesn't have a horse in the race. Tells it like it is. Now, for entertainment: Bigheadtaco, Omar. I can't stand the sound of or the look of Deanne and Andrew. Ugh.

I received my new grip. I LOVE IT! for like 35.00 it's amazing. Really allows me to hold the camera securely. It also allows me to use it as an "L" bracket - for tripod use, and I can access the SD card slot, and the battery slot without removing the grip. Couldn't be happier.

XT1, XT2, XH1 and GFX 50R. With the XH1 being MY ALL TIME FAVORITE --- I actually boxed and returned my XT3 when the XH1 went on sale for 1299.00

Hey There. Hope this has been resolved for you but LR Classic takes care of this.

I just ordered a grip for my 50r. I'm gonna try it. I also share my L-bracket with my XH1. Though I may consider getting the 50R it's own as I have to adjust it each time I swap cameras...

I don't travel with extra crap. No laptop. My iPhone, and MAaaaaaaybe my iPad. I have enough memory cards to shoot 5500 Raw/Fine JPEGS. Once a card is full, it comes out of the camera and the two - camera and sd cards are NEVER, ever together again. My camera and lenses are insured, so I really don't care what happens, but the images, are priceless. So, if I leave my cameras in the hotel room say, and I go out to dinner, the SD card wallet GOES WITH ME wherever I go. I've been using this system since 2002 when I switched to digital and have never lost an image, card, or anything else.

I use think tank 5-battery holder. Holds five Fuji batteries perfectly and it Velcro's shot. When I finish a battery and take out of camera I place it in the pouch terminals facing up. This way I know which I need to charge.

I'm the opposite. I upload EVERY image into LR. My LR cat and ALL my images are stored on an external 8TB. Then I use Capture One Pro to sharpen and Denoise (if need be). Then I re-synch the new images back into LR. Sounds complicated, but it's very quick and simple actually. I believe C1Pro does a 1000% better job with the Fuji raw files. Once I've imported the images in, I use "Backblaze" which is on off-site cloud storage. It is unlimited. For $50.00 US a year my entire Mac, plus my 8 TB of images, totaling about 200,000 images are safe and sound. Plus, I can get to ANY image ANYWHERE with a web connection. Once I've finished editing the images I wish to keep, and submit to my editors and online stock agencies (multiple ones) I then use LR to catalog my images into folders. Hope that helps some.

IBIS is in body. It will work with ANY mounted lens.

I'll preface this by saying that I own TWO copies of the 18-55. Neither has this issue. Have you tried shooting images with the camera on a tripod, at various apertures? I really couldn't see the images on your Google drive all that well.

X100 V? maybe... But why wait? I shot with the XT1 and 2. Waiting for the XT3. Finally bought it!!! Then the XH1 went on sale for 1299 with the grip and three batteries so I returned the camera I had been waiting for, the XT3, and bought the XH1. I absolutely love and made the best single decision. The XH1 is amazing. So, lesson I learned: Stop waiting. Get what's available and use the shit out of it.
