saw a few videos on image "bit rates" and see that Jpegs are kinda out dated, thought that maybe cameras like fuji with users that may not shoot raw would benefit in a file format that's higher bit rates for better color quality. (i do notice it especially in the blue skys not having smooth color transitions but still got a negative response that higher bit rates are just a waste of memory space and only for editing) - things like phones that we mostly consume images wont matter. (I disagree for our phones are also getting better with better colors going up to 4k and more dynamic color quality that it would/should make a difference. 
then here comes this video by "tony & chelsea Northrump" making a video "jpg cost you thousands: lets change it" video talking about moving on from Jpeg. and there's really no down sides besides added up front cost in return to get more quality photos in the long run.

Personal opinion:  Those two idiots are often more wrong than right. Proceed with caution.  JPEG's are the World standard.

Nuff said.

I guess they're not wrong this time . Because heic/heif has lot of improvement , for example ,we can upload Higher resolution images to printing site's Which has upload size limits ,so we can still get way better detailed prints , without a change of upload size limits . This just one of the advantages and there is a lot of advantages in adopting heic/heif format .

      X-Pro 2 Freeze and stop working

      By SaschaD · Posted

      My very much loved X-Pro 2 has a serious problem for a long time but I can’t help myself, it’s too good to just sit on a shelf.    Last year the display had started weird pink colors and the camera was freezing after a few seconds. First I thought the screen was the problem but when I get into the menu at once, the screen looks fine. After some seconds or when I am trying to get the the configuration part of the menu, the camera will freeze again.    when I turn it off the screen stayed on for about a second. But I can’t turn it on again even after the screen finally went black. I need to remove the battery and insert it again and then I can turn it on again. But the problem is there again and again. today I saw that there was a new firmware update 5.11 that is said to fix a freezing problem and I thought to give it a last try. Ironically I could successfully make the firmware update with no problems. Somehow terrifying to make a firmware update when you don’t know if the camera might freeze during the process. But everything went fine. Problem is the same as before. I tried different batteries and different lenses and without a lense. Always weird pink colors on the screen and finally freezing. Any suggestions from the community?    Or perhaps help from Fuji?

      X-T5 blurry corner-to-corner pictures?

      By BobJ · Posted

      I repeat - there is something wrong. I have the same lens and an x-t5 and do not experience any sharpness problems. It may be that there are problems with a 150-600 lens, I don't  know, but mjoseph67 is using the 16-55. Make sure the af is set to focus priority and that you do not have af with mf set (if you have you could be accidentally moving the focus ring after autofocus). If that doesn't help get your camera and lens checked out.

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By pw-pix · Posted

      Perhaps matrix/evaluative metering mode would be a better choice in more circumstances. We need to be aware of how the camera will see the scene and choices it might make, I find having the viewfinder set to "exposure preview" or whatever it's called is helpful in knowing when to apply exposure compensation.

      x100F - shimmer in EVF & LCD after shutter release

      By garyfallon · Posted

      This is what I found on a firmware update that seems to address the problem. However, firmware version is at Ver. 211 already. As stated above this occurrence only happens using the EVF and at apertures between f2.0 and 3.6. It does not happen using the OVF or LCD. The firmware update Ver.2.11 from Ver.2.10 incorporates the following issue: The phenomenon is fixed that when pressing the shutter button halfway under certain conditions, the live view can flicker.

      High-contrast scenes creating too dark JPGs with X-T50??

      By Tvir · Posted

      Hi! Thanks for this comment! Yes, although I'm utterly happy with my X-T50, small, light, sharp pictures, Xapp functioning, I've got to know that the camera tends to emphasize contrast in contrasty scenes. In a way this is strange to me, as X-T50 mostly exposes very well. This is especially expected with photos with foliage. Of course, I would like that the behaviour would be different. When I'm taking travel and such pictures I choose for JPG format (not HEIC, as Mac's Photos opens them oddly very slowly; iPhone's HEICs open fast ...). With JPG I've chosen to use the DR400 setting, but the problem is still there. For "more important" photos I of course use the RAW format. Regards, T.
