I would also love a 5x4 crop with the next firmware update. At present I use the 6 x 4 grid overlay in the viewfinder. This makes it easy to compose in a 5 x 4 ratio. In the menu go to set up, screen set up, framing guidelines. Not as good as the 5 x 4 crop I had in my Nikon but manageable.

When converting an image from RAF to JPEG in camera:

 

Place the converted jpeg in the sequence/order shot, not last in line.

 

That makes it possible to directly compare the unconverted (pre-conversion) jpeg to the in camera converted jpeg.

 

2)

 

When shooting in "EVF Only" the playback of image should be on the LCD, not playback on the EVF (who reviews images in the EVF, regardless of shooting mode?!)

Opps...Re: When shooting in "EVF Only" the playback of image should be on the LCD, not playback on the EVF (who reviews images in the EVF, regardless of shooting mode?!)...that should have referenced the pressing of "Menu"....which should bring up "Menu" on the LCD....image playback from EVF only does in fact play on the LCD.

As to the "get a video camera" argument, not trying to be hostile, but its so tired. Everyone else has strong video offerings, Fuji will quickly fade to irrelevant if it ceases to improve its video capabilities. You do realize Fuji sells more cameras if it appeals to a wider range of shooters, right? 

 

I own 2 XT2's a the 10-24, 18-55, 16-55, 50-140, 55-200, 23/1.4 and 56/1.2 - if it didn't have great 4k video I'd still be shooting with the A7rII and A6300. I know a few other XT2 shooters that would not own the camera if it didn't have its current video capabilities. I loved the stills from the Xpro2, but it was never something I would consider because of its video.

 

Besides the exposure aids and Flog are a simple FW fix, the camera already has the capabilities built in, they just aren't functional.

 

Cheers

 

 

I just don't understand! If one is actually truly interested in video, buy a dedicated video camera! Let manufacturers build the best still camera they can. It's like buying a car and expecting it to seat 12, buy the bus.

 

 

I agree why not just get video camera?

 

Just as Trek of Joy said it above. For my part - i just dont want a dedicated video camera plus a dedicated still camera to lug around. There is the cost and weight of to different bodys an probably different lenses because of a different mount. Not a strong argument to not include video features other manufactures already have..

 

It seems, that they release a professional cinema zoom lense in x-mount.. means they are interested in the video market.

Most important for me would be to further improve AF, its really snappy when focusing on vertical lines but hunting much more when focusing on horizontal lines. Would be great if it worked as fast as the vertical ones.

 

Second one would be to have a silent mode shortcut. For now you have to turn off several option to get silent.

The next X-T model must have a higher resolution EVF which should encompass an eye relief of 30 mm. Another must is to swap the position of the focus lever and the Q button. Naturally everything should be faster!

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
