  1. This is probably a question that has been asked and answered many times, but what are the menu settings to get back button focusing on the X-T1, please?
  2. I tested the new firmware with my 50-140 using CF and wide zone with my dog zig-zagging around the yard. I also performed the same actions with my Sony a6000 and the 16-50 lens (3.5-5.6). The Sony fired off at 11/fps. The Fuji was more like 7 maybe 8/fps. Much to my surprise, the Fuji had more in focus than the Sony. I would say that the focusing and tracking in the Fuji is improved. Is it where I would like it compared to my old Canon 7D? No, but it is close. I have another lens coming for the Sony. The 18-105 f4. That should be a good test. As for Face Detection, well, the Sony a6000 is superb compared to the fair to average Fuji. But, for me, since I shoot a lot of sports, the important thing is good tracking and sharp focus. Right now, the Fuji X-T1 is holding its own vs. the Sony, but more tests need to be done.
  3. Newbie; Great video...but, it would have been nice to see the camera function after the dipping...???
  4. I shoot sports for a major newspaper and use the X-T1 for the long stuff (55-200 or the 50-140 lenses) and, believe it or not, a Panasonic LX100 for the short stuff. I have had mixed results with my X-T1 and have had to tailor my shooting to the particular sport and use various techniques to get the focus spot on. The promised new improved firmware should really help me though. I have found that my hit rate on in focus images with the current firmware is around 75%, which is pretty acceptable at this point.The sports I have shot are indoor and outdoor track and field, ice hockey, field hockey, lacrosse, basketball, wrestling, volleyball and downhill skiing. The paper seems quite satisfied with the work I am producing and I love the fact that all that heavy Canon gear I used to lug around is now owned by another.
  5. Nice overall review of this "new" camera.
  6. Does anyone have any idea on the price point for the X-10?
