Just upgraded, tried the new AF system with the 27mm and the 18-55mm, very pleased would be putting it mildly.

 

I have only recently purchased the 27mm was thinking to myself why did I waste my money on this lens that can't even pull focus, this totally negates this issues I was having.

 

Really improves the workflow for me a soon to be ex-Nikon user who is still getting to grips with the Fuji universe.

FYI: the camera does not focus between each shot, if you have MS+ES (electronic Shutter) enabled. With mechanical shutter only, I had very pleasing results tracking my crazy dog

Great to know thanks. I might have had ms plus es by default. What about es only? Notwithstanding jelly effect, does xt1 do tracking with es only? Or has to be ms only so u are limited to 1/4000 (and sounds like 5x3 central zone) when tracking?

ES is not indicated for moving subject... you'll get distorted images. So Tracking works with MS only

I see these were taken with the 55-200. I've been curious how this lens would behave with the new FW, and it appears to perform much better! Thanks for posting.

To me, it hunts way less, so the improvement is noticable.

Thanks for the examples with the 55-200 Patrick; just what I was looking for. Now the question is do I wait and hope the X-E2 gets the same advances later in the year, buy an X-T10 new or get an X-T1 refurbished...

Rumors say the X-E2 will get a nice Kaizen firmware in about half a year... so I'd wait ;)

Happy customers and competing with yourself ( because then no XE-2 owners would buy a X-T10) don’t get along.

 

Providing equal performance to the two competing cameras is a commercial oxymoron and I doubt they are prone to be oxy-morons. But maybe they are. Wait, keep on waiting, wait , and wait, and wait.

Because X-E2 users are all jumping to upgrade to the X-T10 now? No .. If anything, it only gives users a good excuse to buy a new lens instead EITHER way, so Fuji might as well go for the option that improves customer satisfaction and loyalty. Offer new firmware. Anyway, however you want to explain it, fact is that Fuji is gaining lots of traction by what they're doing, and this will only benefit them in the long run.

 

It's not such a strange concept you know. Up to a certain point you expect your laptop/desktop, or smartphone to continue to get updates, why not your camera.

And I think the Fuji hasn't enough processing power to e-shutter readout and focusing "power" between continous tracking.

 

And you say well: if you select ES (or MS+ES), the C-AF will not works only the first image. The rest of the burst pictures will be blurred if you or your subject moves (because it will not refocusing).

and bring it to the same level of the X-T10? I really would like to understand the rationale of that!

 

They already cost the same in the shops here and no one is buying any X-E2 anymore!

They updated the X100 half a year after the X100S hit the market.

And this time they maybe are going to update the X-E2 half a year after the X-T10 hit the market.

 

Thinking at the long term, a happy Customers can become very loyal customers.

    • I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!
    • Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
    • In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

    • No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem
    • I bought a manual lens over xmas and it took me a while to find the "shutter w/o lens" function in the menu settings.  So far I haven't found a way to either put that on the Q menu or marry that setting to one of the 4 custom modes.   Am I missing something? Is there a problem if I just leave that setting enabled even when the OEM auto lens is in place? tia
