Hello fellow Fuji-Lovers,

 

the time has come to upgrade from my beloved X-Pro 1. The eye-sensor has stopped working and overall I got a bit frustrated by the slowness of the AF and the overall shooting experience.

I do love the rangefinder style format and ergonomics of the X-Pro series and I have used the OVF most of the time, only switching to the EVF when careful focusing was needed (e.g. portraits). I also like the stealthiness of it, I like to blend in when I shoot. Speaking about shooting: I mostly take photos when travelling: so landscapes, street shoots, portraits. I do not plan to fast moving objects. If I had the money, I would buy a digital Leica M and be super happy (I have tried them a couple of times for weekends). So this all points to buy an X-Pro 2.

But there is a big BUT: It came out in Jan. 2016, so 3 years ago and the price is still quite high. Also, an upgrade is on the horizon (some whisper 2019 already). I am concerned about spending so much money on an "outdated" camera. The XT3 on the other hand is about the same price but much newer. Especially the slow autofocus on the X-Pro 1 has caused a lot of frustration for me and I am worried that the X-Pro 2 is quicker, but not that much quicker. I hear that the X-T3 as very fast AF, especially with the "older lenses".

I own a 23mm f2 and a 35mm f1.4 lens. I do not plan to use zoom lenses, maybe add a 16mm f2.8 do the collection in the near future.

 

What do you guys/gals think? Does anybody have experience with both the X-Pro 2 and X-T3 and share their thoughts? THanks!

      X-s10 Fast shutting 20/30 fps crop ES

      By mapoett · Posted

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      By JovialLich · Posted

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Not sure how to delete threads, but I figured out what was wrong. In short, I was partially misunderstanding the view-mode's function. Also, the "+LCD Image Display" part requires that you have the Image Disp. setting set to anything but Off. Then it will display your last image on the LCD. If it's off, it's behavior will be exactly like the plain Eye Sensor setting.
