Yup, computers beyond the “get you in the door entry level” are expensive. It is even worse for the computers game-players use, believe it or not. The entry level disposable ones that are limited in what you can use them for beyond reading email and watching videos go on sale every other day though. Right now, the time of this posting, you can get the 14 inch MacBook Pro M3 - 24GB ram - 512GB SSD for US $1999 directly from Apple or maybe a little less from one of the resellers, guessing you are close to where $US have meaning. The USB-4 or Thunderbolt 4 NVME enclosure @George_P mentions is a very good add-on. You can put a pretty large SSD in them, and use that as your main storage.

good lord that's the cost of a 55/1.7! might have to wait for the costs to come down. here's hoping they announce a new gen. Going to add those specs to camelcamel & set an alert for <2k. thanks for the input, gents.

Hi can anyone confirm which video modes are supported when doing digital zoom with X-H2? I think it can't do 4k60, but what about 1080p@240 fps? I don't have this camera and can't find any available in nearby stores either. I think it would be pretty neat for wildife and macro videography if it could do 1080p@240 at 2x extra digital zoom. Thanks

To me, the biggest difference isn't the sharpness. The shots from your Nikon seem to be brighter and warmer, with more contrast and far more vibrance or saturation. Settings appear to be very different. Do these have the same white balance?  Also, if you do another comparison shot, it might be better to move the Fuji with the 23mm closer to the main subject so that the subject you're focusing on is the same size in both shots. Hope you get it figured out.

Hello, I just bought the viltrox 85mm f1.8 and when I checked the details from a jpeg I saw that the maxim aperture is f1.7  Why would this info be in there? So the f1.6 "update" might be true?
