I am not sure if the survey design lets it quite get there, but I strongly believe that the X-E series could very much become a serious branch with a strong position of it's own if it would update alongside the X-T and -Pro from a sensor/processor side, but have no lcd, fewer programmable buttons and no video capability, the larger EVF and go for plain old school photography!!!  I guess I can keep dreaming for such a camera...

Done.

 

I am dissapointed you have not listed the eyecup need - it's really a pain shooting with X-E2 in strong back/side lighting. I found the Fuji eyepiece with no eyrcup attachement one of the worst part of its cams.

Agree. In fact that is the only substantial complaint I have about the X-E2. Any other suggestions I have had are "better this", "faster that" but they are not of the same seriousness. The eyecup situation can result in instances where is becomes nearly impossible to frame and compose a photo - almost like shooting with your eyes shut

I spotted this on the MirrorlessRumors site:

 

"Fuji:

they will finally make a pause on the X camera front :)  Some lenses will be released by end 2017 but we will probably have to wait til 2018 too see new X system cameras."

Could this be true? Will there not be an X-E3? That would be a major disappointment for me as someone who invested with Fujifilm with an X-E1 and then an X-E2.

I suppose they go by “ You can’t please everyone all the time , only someone sometimes”, you have cameras and the shoot the same quality pictures that they could shoot when you bought them, nothing else has changed aside from the color of the grass of your neighbor.

Milandro, don't undermine our econony system with wrong facts. It is a well known fact derived from Moore's law that the linear resolution of a given camera decreases by about 30% per 18 months (pixelcount goes down by 50%). AF speed drops in a similar way. So definitely, you cannot shoot with an older camera in the same way you did one or two years ago. You simply have to buy the newest equipment as soon as it is released. You can improve your image quality significantly by placing preorders...

Or do I misinterpret Moore's law?

You are right.  :)  we certainly don’t want to undermine the fundaments of capitalism! You are what you eat (or buy) after all. 

 

Emo ergo sum ( I buy therefore I exist).

 

 

Ahem!  ^_^

 

When I was still teaching one of the favorite assignments was to ask people to chose to shoot an entire reportage with a box camera ( Agfa click or clack preferred).

 

Then evaluate the photographic eye beyond the camera.

      F/0.85 lens in Fuji X mount

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I noticed this today on Amazon: "Handevision HVIB4085FX IBELUX 40mm f/0.85 High-Speed Lens for Fuji X Digital Cameras". I know nothing about the lens or the maker, save what it says on the page on Amazon. And of course I'm not promoting it. I just thought it was interesting that there was a lens this fast, and don't think I've seen its equal for our mount. I did have a single element asphere that was just for one wavelength, for collimating light, so its optical performance would deteriorate rapidly away from the center. It was f/0.67. And I have a paper about a microscope objective design that gave an NA of 0.92 which corresponds to f/0.2, which could be a world record as far as I know. The paper is here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.02159.pdf But not anything for mounting on Fuji X cameras. Just thought it was interesting.

      Write error

      By JulioMartinsL · Posted

      Good afternoon, I've been shooting with my xt4 and the same cards, for the last year and never had this kind of problem, but last weekend during a job, my camera showed the Write Error text. Since I was filming a theatre play, there's no way I'd film it again, and proceeded to keep recording. It changed automatically to SLOT 2, and after a while, I've changed the slots. The second card, the one with no problem until then, went to the first slot, and I've put another one in the slot 2. After 5 minutes, the same thing. Write Error, on the slot 1.  When I came home, I've found out that I've lost all the takes that had the Write Error. I'm assuming it's something related to the slots, since it happened to my two fastest cards on the slot 1 and not to the slowest, that was on the second. Both cards that had error, worked perfectly on the slot 2. The second camera could film it, but my footage disapeared. How I'd lost 11 minutes on the first take, and 5 on the second, I tried to recover it with a lot of different programs and couldn't find any solution.  Does anyone here has any sugestion on how to recover the files?

      Hi everyone, and thank you for this initiative. It’s really sad for DPR. I wasn’t an ‘active’ member, but only a reader. To me , DPReview was the place with all the tips you required : camera infos , feedback… I’m not a fuji owner …yet.  But I m planning to be very soon. For now, I m still with my nikon gear.
