Need some help here. New to Fuji. I have some experience with Cameras. Not a lot but some. I had a Canon t4i and a Panasonic G5. I really liked both. Sold the Canon and working on selling the G5. I have been doing quite a bit of research and really like the Fuji colors and also most of the pictures I have seen. My questions are? How hard is it to learn the Fuji system? The Menus? I read somewhere that the Fuji xt! is difficult to learn for someone who has little knowledge about Fuji. I can get either for about the same price.  I shoot everything. When I take my Camera with me. If I see something that catches my eye I take a picture. So I really dont shoot just one thing. Just depends on where Im at. Which would you buy? Thanks for any response. Im also in the US if that matters.

I came from Nikon and have not found the menu too difficult.  The manual dials and methods in the Fuji keeps you out of the menus.  Everything I need is in the Quick menu. Mostly I change the film simulation, I like to see B&W in the viewfinder, but shoot Raw+Fine.  I get better composition that way.  Also use the timer for long exposure.  Other things like face detection and image shape/size are assigned to other buttons.  Sometimes I want square format and face detection quickly.

 

If you shoot frequently then you will nail down the menus quite fast and, like I said above, the Fuji dials keeps you out of the menu anyway.

 

My X-T1 is almost always in Aperture priority with minimum shutter at 1/100 and maximum ISO at 6400.  B&W film simulation to get monochrome EVF and focus on manual, but using back-button with blue focus assist.  That covers most every situation no matter what lens is on or how the light is coming in. Put it to my eye, use the D-pad to select focus point, hit the AF back-button and use the blue outline to be sure I got what I want and pull the trigger.  Super fast and always right.

 

Menu?  What menu?  LOL

I'm a long time Canon user and recently picked up the X-T10. Prior to purchasing, I had the Sony A6000. I can tell you that it was very easy to learn and one thing I appreciated most was the simplified menu system of Fuji compared to Sony. Most of all, I really enjoy shooting with this camera. The retro look, all the dials...I'm really enjoying it. Not to mention the awesome colors it produces. 

 

As far as why I went w/ the X-T10 vs T1, this is more of a leisure/back up camera for me and from everything I read, the X-T10 is pretty much identical without weather sealing and perhaps smaller. But I personally don't think you can go wrong either way.

I was 30 years with Nikon and shifted to XT-1, menus are very clear. Its like the old saying, once you know a system it is easy. But I hardly use the menus at all, everything that is important is on top [emoji23]

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      The backslashes you are referring are just symbols denoting path.  Once you import into these LUTS into Davinci Resolve those backslashes are removed by default and you only see is the true file name which has no backslashes.  Convince yourself of this by opening the LUT folder from the Davinci Resolve Project Settings.  Do you see any backslashes in those LUT names? Of course not.  The only name you see is the one that has the underscores and the periods. These LUTS work as designed without having to change any path names.  However, they need to be set up properly through CSTs and by what is supported in Davinci Resolve.  Hence, the FLog2C film simulation LUTS cannot be used because Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut color space and the FLog2C gamut. Alternatively, Davinci Resolve does support Flog2 film simulation LUTS because the color space for FLog2 is Rec 2020 and there is an FLog2 gamut. If all you are doing is changing the path names then you are not getting the correct results.

      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!
