Hello!

 

I'm new to this forum and this might not be the place to ask, but I'm hoping for some help.

I'm looking to buy a Fuji X70 and came across some cheap listings on Ebay like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fujifilm-Fuji-X70-16-3MP-Full-HD-1080p-Wi-Fi-Camera-Silver-iPhone-Android-APS-C/263051137118?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

 

The listing says that it is a ex display model from a store, and therefore the price is really excellent. 

Seems almost to good to be true. My question is, does fake Fuji X70 excist?

 

Or does it seem legit?

 

Oh, and please forgive my poor english, it's not my first language.

With the extreme complexity of digital cameras, it would be nearly impossible and certainly impractical to try to bring a counterfeit model to market. The cost of building a fake camera would likely far exceed that of the maker's original since the original manufacturer can buy parts in large quantities. Highly specialised equipment is also used in manufacturing cameras that would be impossible for a counterfeiter to obtain.

 

There are, however "grey market" cameras. Cameras vary in price from country to country, and stores will buy from countries where the price is low and sell in countries where the price is high. The downside is usually no warranty and even the possibility of not being able to obtain repairs at all. Legitimate camera sellers like B&H in New York City, USA clearly identify these cameras on their website and offer their own guarantees. They do have a highly informative page clearly explaining the issues.

Of course, it could be legit. The seller appears to have a very good rating.

      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 😕

      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!
