GFX is Bayer, but yeah...

Still, X-T20 with a couple of the f2 lenses is tempting me - first time I've felt they've produced a worthy rep for my x100 (just for me, I doubt anyone else would consider that a particularly rational position).

GFX is Bayer so Adobe shouldn't be an issue. Original X100 files were great in Lightroom and that was also a Bayer Fuji.

Flash kinda sucks but what other MF system has viable TTL wireless flash? This camera is almost certainly going to get used with manual studio flashes and a pocket wizard. Pentax and Hasselblad don't have much in the way of flash either, and Phase One has built in Profoto Air but it's just a dumb trigger, no TTL.

A bigger issue IMO is that it's FP shutter and not leaf.

its cool seeing Fuji trying to break out of the entheusiast/prosumer market and into the pro market, they're really transitioning well but I've used a few of their products and they're pretty awesome for enthusiast use I don't think they can compete with canon or Nikon just yet

I think if they released a full frame camera similar to the xt2 that didn't have the silly retro look and made it weather sealed they could really compete with Sony

To;dr if Fuji took themselves more seriously they could enter the pro market

>compete with sony
"hi sony, can we have your ff sensor, we want to make a camera that directly competes with yours"

Also how is it going to compete, it can't compete on cost considering they have to pay sony for parts.

It can't compete on lenses, no fuji lens resolves as much as the bargain bin sigma dn lenses, and look at sony/zeiss on dxo right now.

It can't compete on size, considering they can't make a non ibis crop camera as small as an a7ij.

It can't compete on lens selection, they've fallen behind too far.

It can't compete on flash, fuji has no flash.

It can't compete on iq, they use the same parts as everyone else.

Oh fuck off moron, your fanboi is showing. Of course they can't compete 1:1 with a giant like Sony, but most most of your statements are ridiculous. Fuji has all the lenses you'd ever need and more are released in a steady pace, at much more reasonable prices and most of them are optically excellent. Also, use a manual flash like a big boy.

Make a drastically overpriced body with classic styling. Add some even more ridiculously priced number games lenses (f 1.4!....but softer than a toy lens and a literal fish eye without corrections), then add some instagram style filters for the sooc jpegs an call it a day.

>fuji lenses are competitive

>no fuji lens resolves as much detail

The cost of fuji 18mm, 35mm and 56mm (non apd) - £1747
Cost of sigma 19mm, 30mm and 60mm - £343
CHEAPEST fuji prime with af - £329

Just consider that for a moment no fuji lens resolves as much as the trio of sigmas, you can get 3 lenses that are better than anything available for x-mount for the cost of fujis cheapo lens.

Fuji want 5 times as much for their trio of shitty lenses (any lens that can't out resolve a £100 lens is shithouse bruh). The only people that could be considered fanboi'ing are those that continue to blindly imply fuji have anything to offer.

>defending fujis lack of flash by telling me to not use technology that became standard in the 80's. Holy kekkerino fren.

It's hard to explain. You really need to hold and use, then you get just get it.

The really weird thing is no amount of measurebaiting and testing v Sony has made me change my mind. I just seem to be allergic to them, and between the controls and little touches like the viewfinder DoF scale and petty weirdnesses like Sony only showing the histogram in isolation from all the other evf data I just can't be arsed to consider anything else. Not as much DR, processing that requires you to dump Adobe, the flash system, bit overpriced...doesn't seem to matter.

There's an aesthetic difference to the files as well bit that really is a personal preference. If you like a clinical, sharp look and know how to tame the colours then definitely Sony, though I'd wait for gen 3 now.

The xt2 is in stock in many shops in UK, america and aus. And the stock limitations for any non canon body since 2016 are down to the kumamoto earthquake affecting sonys production of sensors, not fuji being unable to physically make them fast enough.

the sony 70-200 GM on the other hand... Or even any of the Sony GM lenses, or the batis range, good luck getting one!

And yes, 5 times the price for lenses

You're going to give me an aneurysm if you put the SAME shitty, blurry lens one ONE MORE x100 camera. When are we going to get a new lens that doesn't look like a 1960's leica glow advertisement when focused less than a meter away? What the fuck is this shit and why do you think it's okay to ask these insanely ludicrous prices for such an old, medicore lens and modified version of a totally average and not spectacular sensor?

You must be spending some $500 on the OVF system alone even to ballpark a realistic price for these components. And most people don't even prefer it!

I had the OG X100 for a while and loved the lens. I didn't shoot below 1m very often, though, and the original 12MP sensor wouldn't show issues as easily as the newer ones.

How come I can't do anywhere near as good in Darktable as the x-pro2 internal processing software? I mean, I'd like to crop and rotate and apply some curves (and like, fuck them pleb-tier SOOC JPEGs, right), but apparently Fuji's software has some special sauce that Darktable doesn't.

X-E2s announced JAN 2016

I think, from quick Googling.
If we do not take the X-E2s as a major increment, then the X-E3 is indeed long overdue.
Interesting that the release process is X-Pro 2 > XT-2 > X-T20 > X-E3

What is the definition of weather sealing? Like torrential rain, or just misty rain ?

I took my XT10 to iceland and it was this shitty drizzle rain on some days, camera was fine.

A well weather sealed camera can be submerged to it's own depth in water or dust and be used in that condition. I.e., em1 with pro line lens.
Not that you should use your camera underwater, but it means that your multi-thiusand dollar camera will perform in all circumstances without falter, which (even though you deserve this as standard at this price) is extremely useful to anyone who wants to photograph in conditions that would cause wear or risk damage to a camera like an xt10.

Just don't be fooled by cheap weather sealed cameras that feature "simplified" designs. These are hardly better than standard non wr designs.

I take care of my camera too. It's just too expensive and fragile to throw around. How stupid would it be if I had to buy a new body because I was using it outside of it's rated capabilities? If it were a Pentax DSLR, or even a Canikon DSLR, it would ve a different story.

On bad days, I just use one of those cheap, indestructable water/shock/freeze/dust proof point and shoots.

Since this seems to be the current Fuji thread, gonna ask here.

About to upgrade my X-T10 to an X-Pro 2 in the near future. For lenses I only have the XF27mm f2.8 that I've liked a lot, but wondering if I should sell that and get the XF23mm f2 as well. Having two lenses with such a similar focal length doesn't really make sense to me.

Usage would be street photography snapshits.

I like 18 for street, and pretty much everything else (except portraits). The extra DoF at a given aperture is really handy for prefocussing. That said 23 is probably your best bet as a single lens compromise FL.

I like 28mm equivalent too, but got that covered already with a GR. So 35mm equivalent would be the main lens and later on I'll add either the 14mm or the 16mm.

>>3007392
I still want to be able to switch lenses, I use some adapted stuff from time to time. RF is actually more my thing than the SLR look of the X-T's.

Still haven't really found any good comparisons between the 27mm and 23mm f2, but AF seems to be a LOT faster on the 23mm which is already something I would want. The 27mm is kind of slow and noisy.

It's actually really, really good IQ wise. At least I liked it. But the AF is really not great and it was too tele for me, so I switched to the 27mm f2.8 and have had an absolute blast with it. That's why I'm a bit torn on upgrading to the 23mm f2, because I've liked the 27 so much.

>>3007394
If by 28 you mean the 27, I really can't say anything bad about the image quality. I'm pretty sure it was tested as Fuji's sharpest lens at some point actually.

I'd say they're both somewhat underrated, and I haven't used the 18 on anything but an xpro1, so not sure about af on a new body (100% back button/ manual for me), but the rendering seems great, quite warm, good colours.

I believe most of the concerns online are about corner sharpness (mine seems fine but ymmv).

If that's what you call being presented proof that sony has objectively better results.

But you're being a dumbass, do you think ANY 135 film camera and lens combination gives better image quality than any professional medium format setup? That's what it's like listening to people defend crop sensors. Yeah they have their uses in sports, wildlife and soccermomming, but that's it. And that's before you get into fujis no lenses, flash, ibis, ergonomics, lifespan, resale value, etc. Xpro 1's now go for well under £200, while a nex 7 will still cost nearly double that, because it doesn't have a dead mount.

It's not blown, even if the sky was blown it would still be correctly exposed because the bin is the subject, not the sky, a good tip for working out what the subject is, is to look for what's in focus.

It's a decent post directly comparing fujis "normal" lens with the competition in all it's forms, the VERY cheap shit performance canon, the cheaper than the fuji sony and the benchmark. It's clear to see that fuji lose quite drastically thanks to its loca and nervous bokeh, it's kinda to be expected, image quality looks better on longer lenses, you get longer lenses on bigger sensors.

Flash
Ibis

Ergonomics
Lifespan

Complete compatibility with all software

You can turn a blind eye again, if you want.

They're ahead on AF as of now, but gen3 Sony will probably change that.

Sony overall is more expensive, and you have to like the way they render, though that's not an objective measure.

Lots of the features like ibis and a stop more dr are great IF you're shooting in particular situations, but in good light, or light you control I really doubt it matters.

On the software front you need to use photoninja to get max detail from the sensor, but that's just workflow and a marginal cost increase.

On the other hand they feel way more responsive than Sonys, don't have weird lag, don't overheat, don't eat stars in Astro exposures over 30 seconds, have controls that you can adjust without looking at a screen, and look awesome.

Just lists, and both cams have been used to take awesome pictures, not that you'd know that from reading this thread :)

True.

But RAW is do much more flexible it doesn't make any sense to shoot .jpeg.

>Image quality

False, just go to dpreview and compare. The only moderatly sharp lens is the 56mm.

>Low light performance

False.

>Aesthetics

True. But a camera is a tool, not an art peice. This is irrelevant. In fact, the a7 series looking more like a professional camera is an advantage for anyone shooting professionaly.

>Usability

Debatable. Somewhat true for earlier models.

>Fine detail

Flat out wrong. So much is lost due to the soft lenses and non$optional noise reduction.

For film, not so much digital.

Also apart from the Sony 35 1.4, which is ridonculously huge, Fuji lenses tend to be a stop faster, so it's a wash on narrow DoF and ff ISO advantage (assuming you ignore the dpr test scene results, which show the a7ii (I'm discounting the rii & sii cos of price) having some pretty fugly noise above ISO 3200 (or from, depending on your tolerance). "Fuji cheats at ISO" is a moot point because all the scenes have their brightness equalised, and if you go really deep into the discussion on that subject you find out that it's got more to do with how they set the grey point to preserve highlights than anything else. Sadly we never get beyond the kindergarten analysis in these threads.

problem with Fuji reviews is that all of the review sites, they all use either ACR or sooc to justify the mtf resolution, which obviously gives worse results than lets say if they used Iridient. Lets say the Fujis 90mm lens. Some sony shitposters say oh they advertise it as the sharpest fuji lens but its still softer than this or that. But I am 100% confident, that, if I tweaked the raws from that lens myself and posted online and compared to other 90mm lenses, i could literally btfo all of them.

Sony evf lag is 23ms, good human reactions are 230ms, i can only find a measurement from the first series of fuji and that's about 0.3 seconds, or about 13 times longer than sony.

>ibis isn't necessary in good light
Nor is a tripod you mongoloid.

>sony is overall more expensive
A7ii cheaper than xpro2 or xt2
Fuji cheapest af lens - £300
Sony cheapest af lens - £100, which also outresolves every fuji lens ever. Also can use every canon lens in full auto
Fuji flash - £450
Sony flash - £70 to £300

DXO, IR and photozone are the only sites I know that do objective based testing. All 3 favour the Sony, you don't need to be spoonfed links to get this information.

But if you want a laugh at fujis expense on ANOTHER website, check out how the 35mm edges don't get sharp until f8. And how the equivalent Sony lens is sharp at the edges by f2. Is this those famously "overspec" lenses at work again, kek.

And if that's not enough, from that ssame site I took the samples from Sony's 2 cheapest lenses and Fuji's 2 most expensive. As you can see the Fuji's need to be stopped down to f5.6 to get sharp at the edges, whereas the Sony's manage effortlessly by f4.

Why the fuck do fuji have a $2000 f1.2 that doesn't get sharp until f5.6?

All I've learned on this thread is that sonyboys are really annoying injecting their faggotry in every fucking thread and none of them seem to take any photos except of some charts. There's more to lens performance than just absolute sharpness. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the images.
That one guy seems to claim that there's no flashes on Fuji? Like the nissin i40 for some 150€? wtf. And those hot garbage sigma lenses that are only sharp in the middle are somehow magically sharper than anything Fuji has made? Puh-lease. Also, they don't cover full frame, morons, it's pointless to bring them up when talking about FE mount system. And what good is a compact body when most of the FE lenses are gigantic in size?

Look up lenstip.com if you want comprehensive analysis of lenses (there's not much about Sony lenses tho).

Jesus Christ, people, none of this even matters at all. All of the new gear is incredibly good and none of you (us) take full advantage from them anyway.

That pic is from the apd version, $1500 on bh right now. And that same website has the sony 85mm gm, it gets sharp corners by f2. It will also happily outresolve the 42mp ff sensor, no fuji lens out resolves their new sensor.

If fuji built there lenses to a decent spec they wouldn't have these issues.

You're missing the point entirely. It doesn't matter if some lens is marginally sharper at the corner at 100% magnification. No one's ever going to look your shitty pictures of trashcans in 100% and none of the subject is in focus in the corner at 1.2 anyway, or you're doing something very wrong. Let people spend their money on what they want. Why the fuck do you care so much to waste your time on this shit?

Fuji lenses are actually small and compact. Sony E-mount lenses are just A mount lenses with extension tubes, they're huge, negating the small body.

The Fuji 23/2 is $450. The Sony is $700.

The 23/1.4 is $900 at full price. In no way is that "double the cost of the Sony." It's also $650 when Fuji is doing rebates and they have those every 2-3 months on average. (And for that matter, the 23/2 will probably have a $100 discount like the 35/2 got last month, so it'll be $350, exactly half the cost of the Sony)

Oh shit that's insane. Yeah, those are US prices, and they're pretty much exactly the same at all the major US dealers. (B&H, Adorama, Amazon, Best Buy, etc.)

I paid $599 for my 23/1.4 and $699 for my 56/1.2 when I switched to Fuji last year, and they also included a 50-230 for free. From what I've seen the same stuff is actually cheaper in Japan or HK as well.

Those prices sound ridiculous. A big part of WHY I went with Fuji is because they were so much cheaper than an equivalent Sony system, even if I'd gone with Sigma lenses or similar. I actually traded a used Nikon system for a brand new Fuji setup. I suddenly understand why people complain about Fuji being overpriced if they live somewhere like that.

Where do you live? I'm amazed that Fuji is double the US price but Sony is actually cheaper there. Sony must have some kind of crazy import tax deal or something.

It's doubly weird because I've seen anons mentioning really amazing Fuji prices in Japan, one guy said he bought a brand new X-Pro2 for like 120k at one of the famous small Shinjuku or Nakano shops. Maybe the big camera dealers just have a horrible deal with Fuji and a really good one with Sony?

I also noticed that I could get the 1.4 right now from DigitalRev in HK for $769, so it's not just the US that has better pricing. That situation in Japan is seriously bizarre.

Fuji just had a MAJOR sale during the holidays, major discounts and free lenses and stuff. Probably just going back to normal.

Yodobashi doesn't tend to do many discounts too, but you get 10% store credit on every purchase if you make a point card so for most things it evens out (though not in this case).

Actually I'm looking at Kakaku and the prices look pretty good, the lowest price on the 23 1.4 is 85,800 if I'm reading things right, which converts to quite a bit cheaper than US standard price and only a bit more than sale price. The Sony still wins there at 62k though.

That said my Japanese sucks and I don't know if those cheap retailers are legit or whatever, the only Japanese stores I know are the big ones in Akiba.

Yea, getting paid in yen, so converting to dollars just makes the price hurt even more for me.

Most of the Kakaku sites are fine, and Kakaku even has reviews for them. Still more likely to get free, and faster shipping (though slow shipping in Japan is like two day shipping) alongside better support from a big name shop (not to mention points! like once a year i accumulate enough to get a new lens or something).

Still, for a couple hundred dollar difference I'd give it a shot.

You're correct, I'd expect them to be sharp within 2 stops of closing down though.

Why does the fuji need f4 to be as sharp at the edges, as Sony can manage by f2. AND it has to have an image circle that covers over double the surface area. If you could mount the Sony f1.4 lenses on xmount, they'd be sharp at the edges from wide open. Is this a famous example of Fuji's "overspec" lenses ;)

I'm the guy you replied to. Just to clarify, >>3010046 isn't me.

I'm a working documentary photographer with a sideline in portraits. I have a substantial body of published work and for the last year I've shot it on Fuji.

Fuji's lenses are sharper than halftone magazine printing or web-sized photos can resolve. That's all that matters for me. They're also amply sharp for those purposes when shot in RAW and processed in LR, as long as you use appropriate settings. Much of my work these days is - and I know you'll sneer at this - published on corporate or media outlet Instagram accounts, and sharpness is irrelevant there, but color and the general "feel" of the image are very important, and Fuji provides that in spades.

The ergonomic issue is a prime example of why stat-based sites are worthless in many areas. Fuji's controls are fast, positive, and intuitively placed. Buttons, dials, and switches have clearly defined functions. The cameras feel good in the hands and held to the eye. They're easy to shoot one-handed. They carry easily and discreetly on a shoulder strap, even when equipped with an f/1.2 lens.

>>3010049
What the hell are you even going to shoot at f/1.2 or even f/2 where edge sharpness matters? I can't even find a photo in my library where the edges are in focus at an aperture larger than f/4. This is why this bickering is ridiculous, you're arguing over performance in situations that don't exist outside of test charts.

I think you may be misunderstanding T-stops. F-stops are a simple mathematical equation of focal length / diameter, while T-stops are an actual measurement of the light passing through the lens. This can be affected by coatings, types of glass used, and the optical layout, and two lenses of the same F-stop can have different T-stop values.

However, >>3010061 is referring to the 56 APD, not the normal 56 1.2. The APD is slower because it has an extra filter inside, which is designed to smooth bokeh but loses light in the process. The normal 56 1.2 does not have this filter, and while I can't find T-stop test values, it's essentially guaranteed to be at least as fast as the Sony. (I found one guy who said a Fuji rep told him it was 1.5, but that's not exactly reliable.)

It's also worth noting that the Sony is almost twice the size of the Fuji, over twice the weight, and nearly twice the price. (At least in the US, and the Fuji is actually less than half the Sony's price when rebates are going on.)

And yea, I knew that. I decided to switch to the X-T2 since it is similarly priced compared to the a7ii. Makes more sense.

Besides, most of the height difference is due to the evf bump on both bodies. While that is something to take into account, the height difference of the main body itself is also worth looking at. These cameras are not perfectly flat shapes. Trying to claim that one is 'tiny' because it is a whole 2% smaller in one dimension is a ridiculous exageration. The size difference is minor at most.

Why would it need to be sharp in the edges? What is there in the razor thin part that is even in focus that needs to be sharp? This shit just proves that you sonyfags do not use your gear to anything other than gearfagging and crying about your small penis.

No, the x100 lens is particularly bad. Normal modern lenses resolution drop is too small to notice. The Fuji lens is so visible that you can immediately see glow and haze even on the back LCD.

Thinking on that, what would be a better way?

Voljme? A pain to calculate with weird shapes. Maybe just do displacement?
