Excitement is mounting as we all await the arrival of the new baby from Fuji

 

Can I make a simple plea .......

 

When yours arrives please try and resist the urge to flood the group with a picture of it !

 

We all know what it looks like and we would much rather see the first pic you took with it .... :)

I didn't receive mine yet, but my first pics are usually of my feet or a lamp so that is something anyone would want to see  ;)

 

As I wait anxiously for mine to ship, I'm very curious about the AF. You say lightning fast.. what are you comparing it to? I really want to know how much better than the X-T1 it is. Thanks. 

 

Enjoy the new camera.

Im not really into comparisons between cameras as theres often other factors involved

However....

 

The XP2 is the fastest camera of its type that I have used , it is certainly adequate for my needs 

 

If you have the image set to display in the viewfinder after taking it , the speed from focusing to the image appearing is incredibly fast 

 

Ive been through everything I need the camera to do and I am happy

 

A tiny negative for the purists .....  The box is a real disappointment !

 

Now if Adobe would get the RAW files working in LR everything would be perfect :)

Got my X-Pro2 yesterday. Had the devil's own job upgrading from Lightroom 5 to the latest version to process the RAW files. On the Adobe site every link took me to monthly subscription models that would cost much more after a few months. Then I found the standalone product for sale on Amazon - but that was to buy new rather than upgrade. Eventually I did a we chat with Adobe and they connected me to a download link for a £50 upgrade. But they don't make it easy or visible to people!

I have a standalone copy of Photoshop - about 4 years old but works fine. The standalone upgrade for LR will probably do me until I get a new camera it doesn't support - maybe the XPro3 in about 4-5 years' time. So doing it this way, it will cost me around a pound a month, if that.

Mine arrived Thursday, took it out for a sunrise shoot along a frozen river on Friday. Handles beautifully (even better than other Fujis), and image quality looks fantastic on the rear screen - Capture One isn't dealing with the raws yet, so haven't had the mages on the computer yet,

Hello.

I put the order a few weeks ago, I have a ver bad case of anxiousness... I bought the camera separate from the body, and now they offered in Amazon US with a $99 minus. I just chat with them and they approve the discount.

so, Scored.

SO EXCITED. 

Sorry I will post photos from the camera.

:lol:

I also got mine on the 1st of March.I certainly agree with all the positive comments and initial good reports on the overal quality of this nice upgrade made by Fuji to the X-Pro family.

However, on a negative note, I could notice on my X-Pro2 a tiny imperfection on the top edge of the LCD frame, as shown on the picture below. Of course the attached image is a 1:1 macro shot, so this sort of flaw in the paint finishing looks quite bad on picture. In reality it is hardly, very hardly noticeable... although it is still there.

 

I really noticed it by chance, while handling the camera as soon as it was taken out of the box. It was a reflection of the artificial light in the room that hit that area at an angle and made it possible to see that slight imperfection on the LCD frame. Other than that, the X-Pro2 is certainly well built and a joy to use.

This is the 1:1 macro shot I could not attach to my previous message, since I was posting from my iPad. Sorry for the double post!

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Transfer X-T5 for PC wi fi...

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
