I think that all this talk is a little non-sense... is it so important for you to own the flagship model?
I chose the X-T1 not because it was the top model, but because I like its features and its desing more than
the other cameras in the lineup
I don't know if the T2 specs will be a step forward big enough to change to it from my X-T1 (probably not), but I am very interested
in seeing what they have got for us
-
as said by Aswald there's nothing to worry from the laptop EM emissions... if it is ok for you to spend all day working
on your PC why would it harm your lenses?
for the battery, in the manual it says that if you leave the battery out of the camera, or empty, for too long (probably some day),
you will loose the presets you applied to the camera and you will need to re-change all the options every time
so it's better to leave it in your camera

if it can be usefull for comparison with other brands, I had a 16GB SanDisk UHS-II for almost a year now and never got writing errors...
I remember reading somewhere that bigger SD cards (128GB and higher) can have some issue
-
edit.
I confused the converted mm lenght with the actual lenght read more carefully, my fault
In the range fo 50 mm range there is also the xf 18-55, and it is one of the cheapest lens in the line-up (now is around 350 €). Not so fast as the Olympus,
but faster than the 16-50. I have it and it does an increadible work for a kit zoom.
-
It's a condivisible analisys, but I think at Fuji's headquarter they decided to bet on providing the best lenses possible, in order to differentiate themselfs from other manufacturer. I remember
reading an interview some time ago, in which they responded in merit of the characteristic of the XF 16-55 f2.8, and why it was so big and without OIS. They stated that they are seeking for the
best optical performances, sacrifying other aspects, like portability.
Probably the have see that the xc zooms don't sell very well and don't want to invest money in a risky field... maybe in if the new 35mm f2 will sell well they may try to taste the situaton with other cheaper,
smaller version of some of the existing lenses.

How do you compensate for the movement of the Earth? 6 photos at 20 seconds gives 2 minutes, that is a lot of time
I am interested because I'd like to do some astrophotography, but the first results aren't very exciting
-
I think that a lock/release button will be the best solution in terms of please the highest number of customers, I myself find the lock button on the X-T1 not practical at all, with my hand that has to make a strange turn
to press and at the same time turn the ISO dial.
I don't know what type of mechanism is the more reliable, but i know that I don't like how it is implemented now and for this reason I don't use the ISO dial very often.
-
for the X-T1 I know that there is a plate similar to the ones which increase the grip, but without the addictional grip, that essentialy does what you want, it shifts the screw to the optical center
after a look in the fuji site I don't think there's such a thing for the E1
-
+1 to this
I already looked forward to buy the SP1 but what stopped me was the actual size of the image printed, it's too small for my taste,
something the size of a polaroid would be much better
-
Probably I should have added "relatively to the available legacy lenses" to my phrase. I'm not saying that there aren't incredibly good lenses made in the past, but only that (in average) an old lens can't deliver the same quality of a new lens designed expressly for a particular mount and flange distance. An old leica 35mm could have been incredible on his native camera, but after years of usage, dust, humidity and with some third part adapter it probably won't deliver the same quality of a new 35mm fuji just out of the boxe and with a new firmware that as improved its functionality even more.
But as I sayid before, image quality isn't always the most important thing in a lens.
-
Yes, there are problems, you cannot have the maximum possible IQ with an adapted lens. One not mentioned by Mr Takashi is that
if the lens isn't absolutely parallel to the sensor plane you have problems with focus.
... that said I have an helios and I like the results, so it really doesn't matter to me as far as I paid the
right amount of money for it.

And thank you again romi, there's a lot of food for thoughts
Regarding videos, I never touched that red button on my X-T1 since I bought it, so video is not in my thoughts at the moment. Thinking of this, probably the travelling line is the best for my
needs
@KillerloopflyfishingThank you for the advice, but aren't 3Kg a bit to tight in order to holding a camera like the X-T1?
I am asking this as a total noob in this area, I know that is better to have a lot of margin to have the right stability, but how much?
-
No I was talking about the N series, which have a detachable leg to be used like a monopod...
However thank you for the feedback, I am realy considering buying one the those tripods
-
Thank you romi, I looked on their web site and they seems to have interesting products, the serie with detachable monopod it's something
I didn't thought of, but seems useful in some circumstances.
You have also the ball head from the same company? What was your experience with their products?
-
I all,
I am searching for a good tripod to use with my X-T1. I don't need something too big and heavy since I am not planning to buy and use lenses bulky as
the 50-140mm. Instead I'm searching for a tripod to carry on long trips in the nature, one that can be placed close to the ground and lets say up to 1.50m
I would like to hear opinions and experiences of other X-shooters.
cheers
-
I used one at the X evolution tour and when it was detached from the camera and pointed upwards or downwards something moved inside
They told me it was a preproduction copy, but probably it was the autofocus mechanism.

It will be incredible to see one of those server farms in person, you lucky guy
But as I said, 4.5 TB of data are nothing, internet is huge, very huge
It sounded strange to me too, but megnetic tapes are a really good metod to store "cold data", data that are accessed only once in a time and
don't need high access speeds. And however nowadays a magnetic tape as big as a briefcase can hold more than 150 TB of data, and as CDs they are cheap,
really cheap compared to an hard disk.

I just spent a few weekends clearing out all my email inbox and encouraged my friends and family to do the same too. There's a lot of rubbish floating around the internet, stored somewhere in the world....for this same reason, I never post any unnecessary pictures on social media. Selfies? Please don't.
really?
Do you know how many terabyte of data are uploaded on the web every day? Some MB of data from an e-mail box is like trying to make the ocean less salty with a glass of water.
And by the way, not all the information stored in internet are on a working server, many are on CDs (yes billions of CDs) and magnetic tapes that don't need power to store data.

I think it is a defect of only some production stocks, I have my X-T1 from genuary of this year and my "accessory door" is tight as the first
day and never opens by itself. I used it a couple of times outdoor with italian sun at noon and the camera went really hot, but I didn't have any issue.
If it can help its serial number is 43M12197.

For people asking about different lenses performance, in the custom site Fuji made for the new AF, it states that the new
firmware enhance performance of the linear motor.
So the lenses with a linear motor, like the 35 and 60, are the ones with the biggest improvements.
-
Probably Sony makes more money from selling sensors to other companies than selling its cameras, I don't think they are
crazy enough to risk a shift to Samsung of Fuji, Nikon etc.

Thanks!! very useful
Locking everything

milandro did you know if the dial of the dioptric correction makes more than a whole turn from its minimum setting to the maximum?
Because if it's not, you could use a thin brush to paint a little white mark on both the camera and the dial, so that when the two are
aligned you have the right setting.
