Good news for the X-Pro2 / X-T2 ?

 

EPSON Press Release

 

Most likely the one that is currently used in the Leica SL.

 

- TOKYO, Japan, December 9, 2015 -

- New panel realizes world’s highest resolution for volume-produced panels for EVFs -

Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, "Epson") today announced that it has recently begun shipping its latest high-resolution Ultimicron panels for electronic viewfinders (EVF). The new panels boast the highest resolution among volume-produced products for digital camera EVFs*

 

Epson has continued to refine the performance of its Ultimicron panels with the aim of achieving the natural and beautiful images required by quality EVFs. Measuring 0.66 inches diagonally, the new Ultimicron boasts resolution of 4.41-million dots (SXGA+ (1400 x RGB x 1050)) - approximately double the resolution of conventional XGA products - and provides camera manufacturers with greater optical design flexibility, for example lens selection or magnification ratio. By expanding the color gamut by about 30% compared with existing products, Epson has allowed users to adjust the screen to their preferred color. These specifications translate into a natural viewfinder that precisely meets the needs serious camera users.
 

Specifications and other information

Name: L3FJ63800C

LCD type: TN mode, organic alignment layer
Color display system: Color filter (RGB stripe)
Effective pixels: 1400 x RGB x 1050 (SXGA+)
Panel size (diagonal): 0.66 inch (1.65 cm)
Pixel pitch: 9.6 μm (3.2 x RGB) x 9.6 μm
Color space: 98% of sRGB
Backlight: Yes
Surface luminance: 650 cd/m2
Displayable colors: Approx. 16.77 million colors

 

* The X-T1 currently uses a 1024 x 768 pixel display, (times 3 for RGB) equals 2.36M dots.

I hope I remember right, but isn't the X-T1 panel 0.5"? This would make the new one 30% bigger.

I could understand, that this would be problematic with the X-E3 or even X-Pro2.

 

But it's very likely we are looking at the panel of the X-T2 viewfinder here! 

 

 

If I remember right, this new panel should be capable of 120fps. With a new, fast read out sensor this could eliminate viewfinder lag and blackout.

Those things (together with for example a second SD card slot or an Joystick for AF point selection) are much more important to me than ISO128000 and other stuff.  (Image quality is quite good already, ease of use is more important)

Hmm... Still think it's a bit late, usually by this time of camera manufacturing the development is already done and they are preparing the factories for production and getting all the materials.

 

It would be rather costly to suddenly change to another component since all the contracts have been signed and agreements are already in place.

 

Maybe X-T2 ? Or another following model but we are a bit too close of X-Pro2 announcement to have changes applied to it.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By PoorAlchemist · Posted

      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!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
