Indeed, it's a common misconception, since you expose critical highlights to the right, which often results in an underexposure of the overall image (which is rectified during RAW conversion). That's how the DR function works, and it's how photographers with ISOless cameras work to maximize dynamic range. Nikon even has an ETTR exposure metering mode (highlight priority) in some of their ISOless DSLRs. It's something that I also want Fujifilm to offer in future models, so I discussed it with the product planner of the X-T and GFX series.

Yep, and at least here in Germany, this ain't new at all. I have been reading this for many years: Expose film for the shadows, expose digital for the highlights.

Yep, there is a big difference, though. But this isn't the topic here.

I am still very fond of the modular Lance camera straps, but they aren't that comfortable with heavier cameras and lenses (like the T2 with BG).

They are endorsing tourism and workshops on the Faroe Islands on Facebook and in their blog (http://journal.peakdesign.com/nordic-shangrila). Having done plenty of research on this controversial topic myself, I obviously don't agree with their disclaimer (excuse), so that's a cut for me.

Sadly, I had to cut ties with Peak Design due to their Faroe Island endorsement, so I won't be testing any further products by this company, or publish anything about their products from this point on. Since I now also have to replace the Slide Light for my X-T2, I'd be happy receive suggestions for an alternative solution. It may be a tough one, because the Slide Light product is quite good. However, I cannot look the other way.

Sure, there are some differences between print and ebooks, and also between different ebook formats. And Amazon always does their own conversion and adds copyright protection. That's why we always recommend to buy the book at the publisher's website where you get all 3 ebook formats DRM free and even have the opportunity to get a print+ebook bundle. In any case, this isn't relevant to the topic at hand.

6 electronic and 2 print editions. Plus Amazon's versions, which are always different, so 10 in total.

Of course not. It's covered in my X-Pro2 book (all editions), it was discussed in several forums, and it's in Fujifilm's official FAQs.

Especially since the X100T does it right.

The gist in 3,000 (German) words: https://fuji-x-secrets.net/2016/10/06/fujifilm-x-pro2-arbeiten-mit-firmware-2-00/ English version to follow if readers like the German edition.

Since I was one of those who asked Tokyo to take care of the CA issue in January, I'm happy that it worked out. Here's what you need to know about firmware 2.00 in German: https://fuji-x-secrets.net/2016/10/06/fujifilm-x-pro2-arbeiten-mit-firmware-2-00/ English version will come to X-Pert Corner next week.

Didn't know that you like CAs.

If you can press the command dial of your X-T1, you broke it.

Go ahead and do one now!

You are an easy target if you really believe such things.

XF23F2 has shipped last week. People are already using it on vacation.

6 months before availability?

I'd only want to show images that were taken with a PP camera that's close to the final product.

800 grams IIRC. Rest is covered in my article.

Without a Sony sensor that supports PDAF, this is unfortunately exactly what you imply: wishful thinking. The second generation GFX will probably be named GFX 100S and sport a faster Sony CMOS 100 MP sensor with (hopefully) PDAF pixels. Toshi clearly hinted at future models and that the lenses are ready for 100 MP.

It was simply set to 91 points with the X-T2 based beta firmware that was on the working samples. So what? The actual GFX firmware wasn't on the working samples, as it would have revealed specs that Fujifilm wants too keep confidential for now.

This is a bit like asking how much gas fits into an electric car. There are no physical CDAF focus points in mirrorless cameras, it's all software. So there are as many focus frames as we (or Fuji) likes, and they can come in all shapes and sizes. Current X cameras offer up to 325 AF frames. They could also offer 700 or 1500 frames, it's just a matter of changing the firmware. The maximum number of frames in the GFX is still unspecified, current working samples simply run the X-T2 firmware. Obviously, the entire sensor can do CDAF, and the GFX will work just like any previous X camera, where CDAF frames cover almost the entire sensor area. I assume there will be feedback from X photographers who will do beta-testing. There will also be feedback from me once I get a sample that offers more features than the current working samples. After 5 years of hard learning, Fuji knows how to implement fast and accurate CDAF focussing and focus tracking, and they have a very capable processor. IIRC, the GFX will also offer face / eye detection focus.

CDAF doesn't have "points".
