ISO dial remains useful if you know you are going to want to work with Raw and forcing ISO if you have DR mode set by default for jpegs.

There are many more reasons why it's good, including ooc jpegs and raw with dr unset.

Having worked with Canon 1Dx and 5D III (and their predecessors) for the past 12 years and having never had an ISO dial all I have to say is that as long as you have a function button dedicated to it you don't need one. Personally I'd prefer no ISO dial on the X-T1.

You could say the same thing about the EC dial also. Why stop there? A canon dslr veteran doesn't need a dedicate aperture ring or top plate shutter dials either. right? You got front and rear dials for that. Just like on canon dslr. Remove all those Fuji dedicated dials and you end up with canon dslr operational controls which you are accustomed to using for 12 years.

Well now you mention it I'm looking forward to being able to set my shutter dial to "T" and use my forward dial to adjust shutter speed. Being able to change shutter speed in manual mode without having to remove my eye from the viewfinder will be a plus!

 

But rather than being sarcastic, consider the useability of the feature you are championing. Have you tried changing ISO in low (or no) light? It's not easy. I end up simply using Auto ISO in low light, which defeats the purpose of an ISO dial anyway. The functionality of the dial is flawed - at least 2-3 times per wedding I lose a shot because the drive dial has been changed when all I've wanted to do is change ISO.

 

The EC dial is fine, and works for me, but if you want to shoot in manual mode the camera as it stands leaves a lot to be desired. The shutter speed change is a welcome addition, and will significantly improve useability.

Personally I'd go for the mock up but then neither compares with the Olympus E-M1 or E-M5, both are far better designed bodies, I wish Fuji would concentrate on an X-E3 if there is to be one, general consensus says no, X-E2 is the end of that short lived but very good line.  We even have to ask the question as to whether there will be an X-Pro 2 or is Fuji placing all it's eggs into the SLR format, a major mistake in my eyes.

They got the Range-finder style spot on with X-Pro, backed it up with X-E, the near perfect pair, perfecting the format with each step forward, while Olympus and Panasonic failed to get right, for me.  At the same time Olympus with the E-M's has the SLR style spot on, Fuji will chase that for a long time before catching them up, if ever.  So please, please, please Fuji stick with the Range finder style, and don't forget what brought you back into the game.

Of course there will be an X Pro 2, it will be announced late 2015. The XE2 is still a key platform for Fuji, it will receive selected aspects of Firmware 4.0 later in the year, and there will be an XE3. Ultimately the lineup will be:

 

SLR style - X-T1 and X-T10

Rangefinder style - X Pro2 XE2 XA2

Advanced Compact - X100T and X30

 

This way they maintain an entry and enthusiast body in each market, with the X Pro an extra for the rangefinder style, but really should be a separate product category, as Fuji views it as the flagship for the X Series.

It's just what we're used to. But nothing to be done about it now! -_-

 

Not really concerned with it anymore honestly, seems like an awesome little machine with all the speed, good controls, and a fine EVF, but without the high price of the X-T1.

When we're complaining about the little things it just shows how much they did right. :P

 

I'll just pretend it's a Canon FT.

I had one of those.  FTb to be precise.

I think that the price point will attract many people who want to spend less on a camera body and then they very possibly will do what I did after I got the X-T1, buy lots of lenses. Also many photographers shooting X-T1 might buy it for a backup.

I sincerely hope you are correct Antony but that is not in keeping with the thought's of some Fuji main dealers who are of the opinion that XE will be no more after Fuji cease production of the XE-2. if they have not already done so.

I think I prefer the slimline mockup, but I'll reserve judgement till I see one in the flesh.

 

My first thought when I saw it was "well somebody remembers the ST901".

Mostly though, I just really need that 35mm/2.0 in my life.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      I found the reddit topic i refere to :  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1pc3f1e/cant_apply_new_fujifilm_gfx_55_lut/ "Update for y'all, It's just like what @ExpBalSat said, it's because of the backslashes in the names break them. I changed the file name and it works now. "   For me it was the solution. Realy annoying if it doesn’t work for you 😕

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!
