Looks great but I don’t think this could ever be a Fujifilm camera. At least not one which would have anything to do with the crowd of people buying the Fujifilm with their retro look, and buttons and dials.

 

The philosophy of the Fuji cameras is not ( for now) one of a futuristic look,  in fact part of their success is due to the fact that they are quite the opposite!

 

However , who knows, maybe in 25 years things will be different.

The link was there above and it appears to have been removed.

 

The funny thing is that it looked identical to a Leica concept design camera with the exception of the name, of course.

 

Perhaps our new member TT_ is trying his design on all the rumors sites?

 

On the Leica rumor site some comments were almost also identical to mine above and actually some were downright hostile. It looks nothing like a Leica either.

 

Cameras tend to stick with an identity. The aficionados' base  for each brand tends to identify with a certain look.

 

Fuji has all cameras in its range with a strong visual identity heavily leaning towards retro design. If you don’t turn the cameras you could be forgiven to think that this was a ’70 camera.

 

Futuristic looks aren’t going to appeal to the customer’s base which has been painstakingly pursued by Fuji.

 

True, things can be changed but radical changes in look have been historically never been accepted easily by the customers and companies in all sorts of businesses have lived to regret such choices.

      Sigma 500mm F4 + XH2S?

      By Stogursey · Posted

      I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Greybeard · Posted

      The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.

      I've made a point to push Angelbird memory products as they are the best performance cards you can get, The sustained write speed is important.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Rupal · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everybody. But unfortunately that Amazon link says nothing about how to turn off the Fujifilm X-T20 WiFi signal receiver. I just want to know if there IS an option to turn it off. Otherwise I'm going to have to resell this beautiful camera and go back to a (lightweight) Nikon DSLR, such as the D3500 which I understand has very well behaved IQ results.
