I'm debating the best CF option. I have an Angel Bird AV PRO SE 512gb. I've been using it since I got my XH2S last September and its worked fine. I Also have The Delkin Black 325gb I got with rebate when the camera came out. I havent opened it though because I was just thinking of selling it. I know the Delkin is supposed to be better suited to the Fuji's but does anyone know if I will really notice? Sure transfer speed to the computer will be faster but the Angle Bird is still pretty quick for me. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks on advance.

My experience with Delkin cards has been really good for video and stills. I have 4 Delkin 150GB, a 75GB and two 325GB cards all work flawlessly with my XH2 and XH2S, mostly shooting 4k ProRes HQ. I also have the Delkin CFexpress reader, it too works without incident.  I have ordered two of the Angel Pro B&H Anniversary 512GB cards which were on sale at a ridiculous price. Hoping they will be my go-to cards for long interviews. For stills work, I use the Delkin cards as my primary cards with SD cards loaded as back-up, just for read/write times potential advantage. Delkin has a seemingly very solid support program they advertise with each card. Fortunately, I haven't had to utilize it, but I have registered every card with them. The Delikin SD cards are a better build than Sandisk. A more solid plastic enclosure with NO lock switch. Hoping I do not have to buy the Angel Bird card reader for firmware updates. My Delkin cards, with my cameras, have performed without issue.

      X100V - How to retain menu position?

      By LauzunLee · Posted

      Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek

      Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.
