Looks like only $36,000 for the Mini. :) ... and I'm sure the grabs would be worse than Fuji stills. I'd love to see a comparison.

Elimination of shot-to-shot lag would go a long way toward converting me to EVF. If that can happen easier than OVF peaking, so be it. While they are at it they should make red peaking really all red rather than red outlined in white, or at least come clean if a Sony patent is preventing this...

Products are not best managed by simply giving people what they want. That is important, but it is also a matter of giving people what they should want and would be excited to have if they knew it was possible, especially if there is any threat of competition beating you to the punch. If Fuji...

A fuller quote would be "...and without any finder delay... not even a small delay. Very simple but nobody has it!" The EVF has delays and they are very significant between shots. Very "disconnecting" from the subject which is why there is a continued OVF offering at all, right? (The OVF also...

A DSLR idea: Make the focusing screen a "transparent sensor" which, while not the "taking" sensor, can visibly indicate high contrast areas from the image that is projected onto itself... thus reviving the practice of a well-calibrated focusing screen.

I appreciate the continued dialog. Thanks everyone! Rico, I don't really want to check critical focus. What I want to do is quickly get "good enough" manual focus on an off-center spot of the frame without changing a focus point or recomposing, and without any finder delay... not even a small...

Right, so now we know what Fuji needs to do in the R&D dept... perfectly align them and make it work. The little "picture in picture" of the X100t isn't the answer... I've lived with it. You have to move your eye and still futz with focus points. Sad to see that Rollei is recently out of...

...indeed it would be very dependent on the exact position of the user's eye if added to the existing X100T finder. I just put the camera on a tripod and moved my eye around while looking through the finder. The variability I saw probably contributes to what some people call the "inaccuracy"...

What gives me the confidence is that if Fuji would give me a camera rigged with a real-time output stream of the existing EVF peaking info (also with real-time lens setting info such as used to adjust framelines) and a corresponding input to drive which bits are white in the OVF overlay, I could...

The mock-up below is actual EVF peaking data overlaid in Gimp on a photo of the X100T OVF (mouth, eyes, "hair"). A perspective adjustment was required in Gimp so the camera processor would have to do the same. I did not get perfect alignment in Gimp but rather than mess with it I left it...

The Fuji colored peaking is outlined in white which makes it far less useful. See the "X-T1 Red Peaking on B&W Film Simulation" thread and video. This is one of only two things I'd like to see changed in X-cameras. The other one is that I want peaking in the OVF (yes, OVF) in a future X-Pro...

Rico, any thoughts on this?

Rico, I made the following video comparing two implementations of red peaking on B&W composition. The Fuji implementation is lacking, in my opinion. I have found that one of the best AF units on the planet is the photographer, as long as the brain has the necessary information! I filled...

Hello, Can you comment on the shutter noise compared to the X-E2 and X100s? I am hopeful that one of these days a Fuji ILC will be substantially quieter, and therefore useful in settings where I currently must us the X100s or one of the Sigma DPs. Thanks!
