    Jerry-Astro got a reaction from jeremyclarke in Fuji XT-1/ XT-10 Focusing Speed and Accuracy in Low Light Situation (Firmware 4)   
    Your pictures are simply stunning.  Just beautiful work.  I very recently took many photos at my daughter's wedding, exclusively using my X-T1 (with v3.1 FW).  I was extremely happy with the results (as was the bride) and I was able to provide her with an early look exclusively with SOOC JPGs, which gave me more time to do some extra work in Lightroom on the RAWs.  The images required very little or sometimes no PP work and the camera did a fantastic job.  To be fair, the entire event was shot in a brightly lit room (natural light through windows), so flash was basically unnecessary.  Fuji's one weakness is in the area of flash support, and I might have been a little less enthusiastic about the results if the wedding had taken place in a poorly lit venue.  Either way, I fully agree with your comment about the future of DSLRs.  There certainly are none in my future for sure.  Thanks so much for sharing.

    Jerry-Astro got a reaction from Red G8R in Fujifilm X-T2 rumors   
    24MP would be nice in an X-T2, but unlike others who are adamant that it's a "must have", not sure that not having that would be a deal killer for me.  What would be is a lack of substantial improvements in the AF subsystem, both in terms of low light AF and tracking.  Probably the biggest complaint I've had (and read from others in various forums) about the transition from DSLRs to Fuji mirrorless has related to challenges in using their cameras (X-T1 in particular) for sports, wildlife, BIF, etc.  If Fuji were to take a hint from Sony and invest heavily in improving their AF and delivering reasonable DSLR class performance, the X-T2 could be a true killer camera.  Their lens selection (plus roadmap additions) already would meet most photographers' needs.  A major improvement in AF would be a real game changer, IMHO.  What's listed in the rumors so far is pretty well a big "yawn", however, I'd have to believe (and hope) that Fuji has more up their sleeve.

    So, working thru all the downloads, etc. associated with this, for Mac users, it seems to come down to the Tethering Plug-In.  Apparently, the Mac version of the plug-in is bundled along with the PC version in a single .EXE file that needs to be run and the contents decompressed.  In Fuji's brilliance, they appear to have only provided the single compressed .EXE file, which makes the Fuji plug-in inaccessible to Mac users, since these files cannot be run on a Mac.  Something that would be way cool would be for someone who is a PC user to actually download the .EXE, run it, then post a link to the Mac (.PKG) file (that has  been placed in a share file somewhere) so we can give it a try and see if it actually works.  Anyone game?  Here's the download site:
