If fuji release in Jan, they will have 2 months of sales before Sony release alpha 6100, with rumoured 36megapixel BSI sensor According to rumour at Sony alpha rumours http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr3-sony-a6100-si-shipping-in-march-rumored-to-feature-a-new-36mp-bsi-sensor/

There is a switch next to the shutter speed dial, this changes between auto and other modes. For full manual set the aperture ring to anything but A, the shutter speed to anything but A, and set the ISO to anything but auto. I re-bound the bottom right function button from wifi to ISO in shooting mode (it still functions as wifi in playback mode), to make it quicker for me to change ISO settings hope this helps, and enjoy your trip. edit if you use a lens without an aperture ring (such as XF27, or either of the XC zooms) the rear dial alters aperture

Adding a letter (why s, is a different matter) is preferable to making minor changes, not changing the product name at all, and the end user (us) having to check serial numbers to find out what revision we are buying. I'd hope the changes will be more than firmware, but they may be marginal and/or mostly cosmetic. Changes to a manufacturing process or a non critical part of the camera, may be all that changes. Example My backgrounds in computers, but if a cpu is moved to a newer manufacturing process, but all else remains the same performance will remain the same, but normally less power is used/heat generated. A new model number will normally be giving to the new part so the end user knows which uses less power and is the newer part (although they normally carry a slight premium, so the old stock is shifted)

i picked up a Lenovo yogo 3 intel core m 5 series, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Windows 8.1 (upgraded to 10) 11" Full HD 10 point multi touch screen (folds into tablet) Weighs not a lot more than a similar size tablet I use it for lightroom and photoshop when on the go. (as well as office and web browsing) More than capable as long as you are prepared to wait occasionally

You pretty much covered the main differences, I have an XT-10, my dad just received an x-pro 1 I aint spent a lot of time with XPro1 yet, but the only thing i initially noticed was exposure compensation is +/- 2 where on XT-10 is +/- 3, however this is something I never use as always shoot in full manual

I recently got a K mount adapter to use some lenses from an old Petri 35mm camera from the late 70's or early 80's (that I have recently used for a college project). There are 3 lenses, a 28mm F/2, a 50mm F/2, and a 135mm F/3.5. The interesting lenses to me are the 50mm and 135 (as already have both the fujinon 27mm f/2.8 and 35mm f/1.4) I'm going to do a lot of testing with the lenses over the net few weeks, however an initial test with the 50mm, the lenses was pretty sharp and at F/2 the bokeh is very similar to the 35mm f/1.4. I can't upload file to the forum, so will upload elsewhere soon, and link. If I can get a couple of usable "portrait lenses" for the cost of a £7 adapter, whist I save for the Fujinon 56mm F/1.2 at £700, it wil be money well spent

Amazon sale in UK, X-Pro 1 with 18mm & 27mm for £499 limited time/quantity available (3 hours left) some reason i can't link ​

Like I said, i'm not buying a video camera The cost difference is irrelevant for Lenses that double for photography work. it's not pro video work that is being done, and the video quality is good enough. I'm after the experiences of people with the lenses mentioned with low light video work and their experiences with the camera hunting for focus

So while photographing a gig on Saturday night, I was asked if I could produce a video clip of it. Previously I'd have had a sony video canera and this was never a problem, I no longer own any Sony gear, and video so infrequently I can not justify buying a dedicated video camera at the minute; however lenses that are also used for photography is a different story. I don't want to get in a discussion about Fujifilm being crap for video, as it is good enough for non professional you tube work (and I aint buying another camera atm) I had my X-T10 and the XF 35mm f/1.4 lens and the XC 50-230. The camera was tripod mounted and focus was tracking (moving target) At first I used the XC lens to get closer to the act, however the camera spent so much of the time hunting for focus the video was not great, I'm assuming this was down to the aperture being so small, as once I switched to the 35mm F/1.4 the hunting issue went away, and it focussed perfectly. The only issue being the lack of reach on the 35mm Preferable for video work I'd normally favour a zoom, but there are only 2 that may be suitable, the XF 50-140, and the XF 55-200, the XF 55-200 is only about 1 stop brighter than the XC, and the 50-140 is a lot of cash, the only other option that I can see from Fuji is the 90mm F/2 a lot brighter than the XF55-200, a stop faster than XF 50-140, but no ability to zoom, in/out (although a lot cheaper than 50-140) what are peoples experiences with these lenses for video in low light or any other lens?

Sony then separated their sensor business from their camera business, which will have probably removed this clause. with the prices of Sonys Full Frame A7 cameras starting at sub £800, there is not a lot of room in Sonys lineup for a new APS-C camera (and no new glass on sonys roadmap for APS-C)

Unless you've deep pockets and can afford a multi camera setup (and have the space and personnel to operate them), recording live events requires a camera (luckily video camera do not have this issue) to record more than a few minutes.

Personally, unless I can video until memory card is full and charge the camera whilst filming (no 15 minute limits) I could not care less about video on a camera. I can understand why it is a must have "feature" to sell cameras, like other features that the majority will not use. If video is an important feature, in body stabalisation would also be needed (or fast lenses with stabalisation)

I wouldn't be surprised if Fuji used a new Sony sensor, that Sony have not used in any of their cameras. Sony have released a lot of Full frame cameras since the Alpha 6000 (the only APS-C camera being a Alpha 5100). Their official lens roadmap does not include any new E mount APS-C glass, and Sony Sell Full Frame cameras for the same price Fuji is selling APS-C cameras. They would find it hard to offer an APS-C camera for the same kind of money as Fuji charges for the X-T1, as you can buy the Sony Alpha 7 II (with in camera stabilisation), for a similar amount of cash. A few hundred £/€/$ extra and you can buy an adapter to use the vast A mount range of lenses with autofocus. Sony have separated their sensor business from their camera business, potentially removing any agreements about delaying the release of any cameras based on a new sensor until Sony have released their model first.

i'd personally love this lens, however although it maybe cheap as far as comparable lenses go, other lenses in the XF mount are a lot easier for me to justify buying. For me this lens would be used for wildlife photography which although I enjoy, it is not an every day event. For the cost of this lens, I could pick up the 23mm and 56mm which would be used everyday. I am also planning to go on a safari and am a little dubious of carrying multiple lenses through the jungle. (keeping them clean and the additional weight) I expect most of the shots will be at the longer focal lengths, however I also worry about missing shots due to the time it takes to change lenses, although a 150-600 range would probably sufficient to not miss many shots If an X-S2 is released with a 1" sensor, similar reach and is priced similar to other high end bridge cameras (e.g. Sony RX10 II), this may be a better option with enough left over to pick up a XF lens

I was photoing a gig (mostly with the 35/1.4) but decided to play and attached the XC50-230. The conditions were pretty much as opposite you can get to daylight. The results were not bad at all, granted I cranked ISO all the way to 6400. I'll upload and link at some point soon. settings used with the XC 55-230, camera X-T10, @230mm, F/6.7, 1/125 sec, ISO 6400

http://fujifilmxmount.com/comparison/en/test-our-lenses/?o=XF56 edit seems that the 90 is not listed, but you can compare others

cug, if you don't want the 56, i'd gladly take it off your hands for 90% of my photography, I only seem to use the 35/1.4, but having the XC-55-230 in the bag is a nice option for taking shots of wildlife during the day. When the 100-400 is released, I can see my kit being 35/1.4 + XF100-400. I don't own anything wider, but I'm tempted to get the XF-18 for the odd time i can't back off enough with the 35

for travel (i aint looked at the included lens in the offer) depending on budget If you were going to carry around 3 lenses I'd consider something along these lines, 1 - XF18, XF35, XF55-200 2 - XF16-55, XF55-140, +1.4 Tele converter. If you do not shoot much at long focal lengths you may want to consider the XC 55-230 to complement your kit, it's cheap and works great in good light (in my opinion).

I don't understand what you guys mean by slow focusing, My 35/1.4 on the XT-10 doesn't seem slow to focus. I could not start and stop a stopwatch before it has focused. The focus speed has been a zeo issue even in low light for me

After reading this article on Fuji Rumours http://www.fujirumors.com/new-source-unveils-why-sigma-will-not-make-x-mount-lenses-and-what-fuji-did-wrong-according-to-sigma/ ​ It got me thinking, as someone who is relatively new to X mount (coming from Sony E mount) One thing Sony's line up has that Fuji's doesn't is different tiers to the prime lenses, to match somewhat with the different bodies for example Sony offer, Sony branded lenses, Sony G, and Sony Zeiss, which are all priced accordingly If you spend £200-£400 on a Sony body, they have 2 cheap Zoom (Kit) lenses, and 5 cheap Primes, all under £360.00 (3 under £200.00) each, zooms cover 16-50 OIS, and 55-210 OIS, the primes are 16mm F/2.8, 20mm F/2.8, 30mm F/3.5 (Macro), 35mm F/1.8 OIS, and 50mm F/1.8 OIS. I'm not claiming these lenses are world betters (although the 50mm F/1.8 is a fantastic lens for £199.00), however they have a place especially with the entry to mid level bodies. On top of this you have the 3 Sigma art lenses at 19mm F/2.8, 30mm F/2.8, and 60mm F/2.8. The Sigma lenses make less sense on the Sony E mount than they would on the X mount, as the 20mm, 35mm and 50mm Sony lenses are optically better for not a lot more money. The only sub £400.00 Fujinon lenses (on Amazon) are the 27mm F/2.8, 18mm F/2.0, and the 60mm F/2.4 Macro primes, and the 2 XC zooms. If you pick up a Fuji A1/A2 or other body up to and including the £499.00 X-T10, there is not a great deal of choice in the Fuji line up or any other brands with auto focus at entry level prices. I believe there is a market for Prime lenses that are better than the XC zooms (not that they are bad) which has a lower entry level cost. I know personally as I do not shoot a lot wide (less than 35mm) when I changed to Fuji (X-T10), I did not get the XC kit lens or the XF Kit Lens, and I would not spend several hundred pounds on a wide lens, but prefer shooting with primes (at sub 100mm focal lengths) therefore I may consider buying a cheap carry around wide angel lens if it was available. my 2 pence worth

As I have the 35 F1.4 I'll not be getting the 35 2.0

I'm probably going to buy either the 60mm F2.4 or the 56mm F2.4 (if I can get a good deal) Ideally i'd love 100-400 However if the 100-400 is much more than £1000 I'd never be able to justify it

As far as releasing cheaper primes, I would be interested in something like a 56MM F1.8 r, if it came in at around half the price of the 56mm F1.2r

Just joined the fuji world (previously using the Sony nex system). The 35mm lens is of no interest to me as already have the 35 1.4, however the teleconverter is interesting on the lens tested moving from f2.8 at 140mm to f4 at 196mm is not bad at all it is only 1 stop, just slow the shutter speed by a stop or raise iso by a stop. I would be more interested to see the comparison with the 50-140 f2.8 with converter and the normal XF50-200 without the converter. And also what actually happens if the converter is used with a non supported lens
