Fuji has been hinting strongly and publicly at the X-T2 showing up with the new sensor - comments like "the sensor and processor can handle 4k video, but that wasn't right for the X-Pro 2 - that's ano

I would like to have a second X-T1 as I shoot a lot of events and 2 bodies is much faster than switching lenses. I love my X-T1 though I do wish that the AF was a bit faster and more reliable when sho

X-T1, X-T2, X-Twhatever, I don't care ... as long as Fuji gives us good glass.

Some more considerations.

Full Article on FujiRumors here: http://www.fujirumors.com/a-closer-look-to-the-new-fujifilm-x-t2-controls-based-on-real-life-leaked-images/

 

  1. the dials on the X-T2 seem to be thicker compared to the X-T1
  2. addition of center-weighted metering
  3. the focus assist button of the X-T1 is gone. I guess Fuji made the rear dial clickable and it will work as focus assist, just like it is on the X-Pro2
  4. no flimsy accessory door (already improved on the X-Pro2)
  5. New tilt screen (probably flex tilt-screen like the Pentax K1)
  6. joystick
  7. The new dual SD-card door has a new opening mechanism.
  8. The last thing I’ve noticed is that the lock button on the ISO dial looks different compared to the one on the X-T1. It actually looks like if there were two buttons. Maybe this mechanism could allow us to block also the “drive dial” under the ISO dial. However, the “double button” could also be just an optical illusion created by a water dro

I think it's a nipple button, easier to feel blindly.

Edit: on second look though there doesn't seem to be anything there on the image from the back. So probably just a droplet indeed.

 

And i think the Tilt screen will not be attached to any bulky rods K1-style.

Can't imagine it will even be remotely like the K1 on such a compact body.

But of course side-hinged in addition to tilt is entirely possible. =)

I just made a deal for used Xpro1 which my plan is to use until the XT2 is released (unless I fall in love with the OVF and decide to get the XPRO2).

 

I guess earliest relastic expected release is Photokina 2016?

Anyway, do you think the XT2 will be be sold as a kit with the 35 f/2 lens? If so I'll just get the 18 f/2 and 60 f/2.4 for now to my XPRO1.

Just seen this on Ebay UK. Very interesting. Ebay item number 231927700646.


Looking at the payment terms, I wouldn't buy it!

The grip is a prototype as well - which I would expect. Note the "Normal/Boost" markings the left side of the rear panel. Wondering what that is going to do... I haven't seen that terminology since the days of motor drives.

 

The Right side of both the grip and body have a rear corner "Protrusion"* that would appear to be for ergonomics. 

 

*not sure what else to call it.

It sucks that somebody lost their camera. Can Fuji get the auction pulled?

 

That said, I like what I see.

If Fuji can implement a voltage boost with the Grip for faster AF speeds my mind will explode.

I suppose we should expect a "High Performance Mode" for the EVF, so the "boost" switch might be more likely to just involve the EVF and/or burst rate, but if it can overdrive lenses too that would be super amazing.

I'm thinking that is an early test model with the extra large knobs on the top and the absence of a video record button.  

 

Products go through a development cycle where there are changes to design and I'm taking a guess this leaked camera won't be exactly the same as the final production model.

I hope that is the case... those extra large knobs look awful to me.

I already like everything I see here, especially the vertical grip with its own focus stick!

 

I agree.  I shoot quite a bit in portrait mode and have the battery grip on my XT-1's almost all the time.  I really hope the focus joystick is on the grip as well.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
