Oh boy. So instead of making a lightweight X-PRO2 they are going full "camera for idiots who want electronics shinies and full auto mode" /facepalm. I was waiting to decide but nope, it will be an x-p

Everything you've said is obviously a facade, this is nothing but sad excuses to convince yourself not to upgrade (or more likely you want to find an excuse to purchase of a different brand). Of cour

It's like if biker would tell to cyclist that the fundamental disconnect here is that he need to realize an engine is now an absolute requirement for virtually any vehicle that has some wheels.

I really like the look of it. It's not comparable to the images from our new digital cameras regarding sharpness or color accuracy, but it reminds me of my youth.

 

Absolutely! Two images below, one's got sharpness and another one's got a look.

It will be interesting to see (hopefully in September) what the X-E3 will look like and how it will be equipped.

 

Interestingly enough, having read some of the preceding posts in this thread and learned of how forthrightly some have expressed their views, it is worth reminding people on how similarly strong views have historically been expressed, such as "it certainly won't have IBIS, tilting screen, etc, etc, etc" then they went on to be proved wrong (albeit with different cameras). I shall just wait and see.

 

I still hope for IBIS and a tilting screen but won't be tempted by an X-T20 any day soon as I like the look and feel of the X-E line. I love using my X-E2s and have just shot a wedding using it and my "Fujicrons". I was perfectly happy with it and hope to have a better spec X-E3 to shoot another such occassion in the near future.

So far i see consistent degradation of my ideal camera. Don't like combined iso-ss dial, don't understand and hate the idea of getting rid of popup flash as well. I use it indoors regularly and not going to attach to my camera anything but the lens.

The X-E3 is still sounding like an ideal camera for me.

 

I hope the price doesn't change too much from the X-T20, but if it's a full featured and well developed product then $1K USD might seem reasonable.

 

Issues like viewfinder blackout at 8FPS turned me off of the X-T2 and X-T20, but for a more "slow paced" body the current capabilities seem more reasonable, and that's more up my alley anyway.

 

Can we make Dual Card Slots standard on the X platform? Please? That would go a long way toward pushing Fuji into the hands of people who might otherwise not look at the brand.

All the "big players" are still trying to segment their users with features like Dual Card Slots (especially now that we've seen Nikon REMOVE Dual Cards from the D7500).

This seems like the perfect feature to differentiate the brand.

Maybe X-A3 users wouldn't take advantage of it but I feel like all the "X-E" and "X-T" series bodies should be ready for more professional applications, let the X-Pro and X-T2 sell on their own merits without removing features that can sometimes be critical to any photographer, regardless of whether you're getting paid for the pictures.

one more newbie question (it appears to be my forum rank after all):

 

the XE-3 is the first Fuji X product I'll be ordering new when released. so logistically, when it's rumored that the product will be announced in September, does that announcement date mean that is when the product is available for pre-order? does "announcement" mean that it will suddenly be in stores immediately after it becomes official? or is the announcement date different from the in-stores date? thanks for clarification on this.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      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.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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.
