If only there would be a Fuji compatible camera for video...

Coming from m43 using the Panasonic GF1, then the Olympus OM-D I ended up with Fuji. I must say, that the quality of there lenses is impressive.

 

It's such a pitty that those Fuji cameras are not made for video. I know, it got better with the X-Pro2, but it's still not the first choice for video.

 

Other cameras like the GH4 do an impressive job for video. Not to mention the compatibility of the m43 lenses with the BlackMagic Video cameras.

 

It would be a dream if you could have a better video function with the Fuji bodies. Nobody likes to carry two different sets of lenses these days and while photography is still my main focus, you can't avoid videography.

 

Why doesn't Fuji cooperate with companies like BlackMagic so that they can create a Fuji lens compatible camera. That would be amazing.

 

Anybody out there shooting video and have some thought on this? :-)

I suspect you're going to like the X-T2...

The Fuji X lenses are not made for video. The aperture is neither declickable, geared nor mechanical, the focus is by wire and also not geared, the zoom lenses are not parfocal, but the zoom is mechanical, so I don't see why someone would want to use those for video when there are much better alternatives available.

 

What's wrong with renting a Sony FS7, Canon EOS C300 or Blackmagic URSA together with some good lenses for more serious video stuff? Renting gear for video is a common thing, even with really big productions.

 

The right tool for the task.
