Hi there, thanks for this discussion everyone. I've learnt a lot here! 

I thought I found the ultimate solution for Vlogging, interviews, Web meetings, 4K Video and recreational photography, I may have been wrong with the X-S10...?

I already planned to buy a ATEM Blackmagic Live Pro, to steam and use the webcam function linking from the controller's USB. From the discussion it seems like that would be my only option if I was wishing to use the X-S10 as a live camera with its in-built features. 

I'm now very torn between the X-S10, A600 and A6400. 

Any other cameras people would recommend for a similar price and use case, ideally without having to use a video controller? 

I've used a friend's Fujifilm and I would like to join the tribe, but I'm concerned about having to always lug around the ATEM controller and HDMI cable if I want to stream or go live. 

Any thoughts or ideas here would be appreciated, thank you!

xt-3 would work well ! in fujifilm family . outside fujifilm you can get sonya72 with kit lens in the similar price of fujifilm xt30 with the kit lens ,in canon you can get rp which is good for vlogging as i heard in the similar price range . but all those have modern style and only fujifilm has film camera aesthetic and analog type control's etc.. but it's your choice my friend !. so if you are buying into other camera system's.. for you need of vlogging , i hope you join fujifilm family later . i hope this helps. have a nice day ! and.. hope to see you soon in the fujifilm family !

Seems like your question is more about using the camera as a webcam than about vlogging. There's a big discussion about this very subject in this very forum; one person even discusses that switcher. I found that the simplest solution was to bypass the buggy Fujifilm webcam software and just buy around $20 worth of cables:

Sure,

I've done a bit of digging a found that I can use a simple HMDI-USB interface and cable for a neat in-line solution. I think this will be my approach!

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
