I'm quite happy about annoucement of new update for X-T20, however there are few things that I'm really missing and some updates could add some of those in future. For instance:

 

1. Add histogram to video mode.

2. Add mic-level preview in video mode.

3. Customization of front dial.

4. Faster response of sensor in EVF + eye sensor mode.

5. Ability to wake up camera by press different button than shutter-release button (sometimes it wakes camera and also take picture immediately).

6. Smaller horizontal line, less disturbing during shooting.

7. More sensitive camera position sensor. Sometimes menu wont turn to portrait mode after turn camera in that angle.

8. Ability to add vignette effect in JPG's, like grain or saturation.

 

What do you think is still missing and could be added or fixed? Thanks.

10. Integral grip with shutter button

11. Remove exposure compensation dial

12. Add top lcd

13. Add in body geotagging

That would be some amazing firmware! You do have a point, though with the EX Comp. I set it on C and use the front dial. No need for the dial per se. I would prefer to keep the dial but be programmable: white balance, ISO, film sim, anything that works in a range.

 

I would like to be able to label my Custom presets.

 

Fix the quirky Auto ISO presets issue,

 

Most of what the OP said. I’m pretty happy with the way it is, though!

    • 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. 
    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • 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.
