I've stopped following the camera news basically ... when my X-PRO1 or X-T1 break, I will look around again for what's hot then.

 

Perfectly happy with the 16MP cameras here ...

precisely

 

It would have to be a giant leap for the photographic mankind to make me buy a new camera but I suspect that it will be just a small step ( few tweaks here and there).

 

The opposite of what happened here

I purchased the XE2s and it is a great camera.

However I did not own a previous XE camera

 

I do not think the XT2s is meant to appeal to XT2 owners

Or even XPRO2 owners

 

It will be there for people who do not own these cameras and at the time of purchase require the latest modern gear

they will compare and contrast  to other camera manufacturers

put yourself in the position of the camera salesman trying to flog off an old model

The electronic IBIS looks like it needs a new sensor design, hence the "s" instead of being a camera firmware update. I did not really have much hope of a software-only solution for my X-T2 but I can still dream of it. (Hmm... using the phase-detection (auto-focus) elements to aid eIBIS is also possible.)

For me, the addition of IBIS will be a dream come true. The ability to get that extra bit of stability without the use of a tripod/monopod, the ability to lower the ISO and the re-assurance that I probably won't miss that shot. That above anything else is what I would like.

Perfectly happy with the 16MP cameras here ... less happy with the time I currently have to process my photos :-(

 

 

The X-T1 also belongs to one of my favorites. Post Processing Time I managed to reduce by 70% by switching to Luminar 2018 and Aurora HDR 2018.

    • 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
