  1. they are more people that want high quality 4k video in their X-T2 than those who do not. Video capability does not affect photo performance in any way. Your reason for not wanting video is completely ignorant.

    Well, I am not those people, and I am a Fuji customer ... as long as Fuji creates great photo cameras, I'm happy. If you feel that's ignorant, so be it. I think there are enough brands that create cameras for the video enthusiasts, so it's not like they have no choice.

    actually, you just got some update, albeit probably just a technical one .

     

    Patrick says there is also some AF improvement but Fuji speaks of a technical support for new lenses

    I think the AF update is strictly the focus limiting feature for the 100-400. Feature wise, nothing new is coming anymore for the X-Pro1. But I knew that when I bought it.

  3. I stick with official Fuji batteries (despite the impressive high price) for my X-E2. I tried a couple of other brands available in the US and the best ones disappointed while the worst totally suck. I've read that Pantona batteries are very good but they are not available in the US.

    I have a good experience with Hähnel batteries. For Canon, my preferred brand was Duracell, but they seem not to have batteries for the Fuji X-series yet.

  4. 1080p is yesterday's technology. Would they really build an updated model without 4K? ...even the phones have 4K now.

    I don't even know what 4K does, and I love my Fuji cameras. If I would want to shoot video, I would buy a video camera.

     

    I guess I am not alone in not desiring video, or other (to me) gimmicks, in my camera. As long as Fuji builds great photo cameras, I am happy with them.

     

    But I probably would not buy a X-T camera anyway; I would miss the OVF.

  5. Does that mean you only have a smartphone with a Fuji logo sticker slapped on it in your bag ?

    If that would give me the quality I want, that would be great.

     

    But it doesn't, so when I take something more than a smartphone, I usually limit myself to a X-Pro1 with one lens, and two spare batteries.

     

    I do use my smartphone quite a lot though. The best camera is the one you have with you.

  6. I have a X-Pro1, but I use the OVF 80% of the time, I guess. The optical VF is the whole point of the X-Pro line, I think.

     

    I also use the X-Pro1 with suitable primes only. If you want to use zooms, or primes that don't work with the OVF, you ought to be using an X-E or X-T anyway, in my opinion.

  7. Since the boat is the star of the photo, I would open the shadows on it and maybe darken the sky too.

    Thanks ... I wanted to show the strong backlight, and make the boat and windmill a bit "silhouette-like".

    The Pro1 was superior to the X-E1, a upper line. Also to X-E2.

    I don't think the X-Pro1 was superior to the X-E2. It's different, due to the OVF, and the omission of a built-in flash. However, if you don't care about the optical viewfinder, the X-E2 would be a great camera. The price has come down to a reasonable level as well.

  9. Yes, the x100t is by far the best of the three x100 cameras, and I like it a lot, but one of the reasons I sold all my Nikon gear and went with Fujifilm, was the attraction of Kaizen, and so far I haven't seen any of it :-)

    I think that I look at it differently; I'd rather buy a camera, and not a promise of future firmware updates.

     

    My X-E1 also doesn't get firmware updates. That's fine with me; I like the camera as it is.
