I only have Bayer sensor Fuji's (X100 and XF10) so LR works just fine for me. Also I normally just use the jpegs, I only keep the raw files for the shots I might want to print or where I expect to do significant edits. But for non-print editing, about 50% of the time the final shot ends up...

Great write-up and some really nice photos - although on some I'd be very tempted to have a play with the raw files for smoother highlight roll-off (personally I use Pro Neg Std with highlight contrast -1, so I guess that tells you where my preferences lie in terms of highlights and saturation)...

Previous Olympus bodies were publicly rated IPx1, which was obviously laughably conservative since even at the E-M5.1 launch, Olympus execs were emptying bottles of water over the camera. IP79k: I had to google that, never knew it went beyond 8 for water. Can't find anything beyond 6 for dust...

I'm brand agnostic in theory but the only cameras I'vespent money on over the past 8 years have been Fujis, so I could be considered a Fuji fan. I'm also an enthusiastic follower of the development of weather sealing on cameras. Fuji, much as I love it, is the company whose weather sealing I...

I really enjoy the cooler colour palette of pretty much any film recipe or simulation that attempts to replicate Fujifilm, over the ine inevitably much warmer attempted Kodak replications. I didn't shoot a lot of Kodak film, just a few rolls of Kodak Gold inbetween a truckload of Superia...

IIRC, that's Fuji X Raw Studio

40mp vs 26mp really isn't such a massive difference. Just 24% more pixels horizontally and 24% more vertically. It's a visible difference, but half a stop faster shutter speed should take care of it. Hardly what you'd need IBIS for. Not that IBIS wouldn't be handy or desired, but necessary? I...

To be honest this almost monochrome test image only shows the contrast curve. I'd like to see a test image with skin tones, blue skies, green leaves, that sort of stuff, before commenting on a film sim. I will say that on most of Ritchie's film sims, the hard +R -B white balance shift makes...

160mp (4x40) Some Fuji specific software Don't know how long, will probably depend on your hardware, but in this day and age it shouldn't take ages on a modern system

Double the effective focal length with the same physical iris opening size means the effective f-number doubles, not quadruples, so 1200mm f/16 (or in FF equivalence terms, 1800mm f/24). Ofcourse the 2 stops higer f-number means 1/4 of the light gathering ability, which I think may be where you...

As much as I liked them, I can't see the X*0 series being revived. The X30 is approaching 10 years old, and Sony, Panasonic, and Canon have all seriously dialed back their 1" zoom compacts' update cycles, so the market probably contracted down to a fraction of its size 10 years ago. Even the...

It was my only camera for 4 years or so... Whenever I think about that, and the images I got, I feel a little bit like a fool for wanting more :-P

Nice! I'm in the process of moving away from the X100, but still feel guilty for letting it sit idle. It's such a fun image maker. And I like its DR mode much better than on my newer XF10 It's just that it's not quite everyday small for me, and my interests have shifted to longer focal lengths...

That looks like a brilliant way to celebrate an anniversary. Unlikely to ever happen that way for me though... A fully furnished trekkers cabin with bathroom and a place to park next to it is as close as I've gotten my wife so far ;-)

As far as I'm concerned, the lens of the OG X100 (and subsequent up to F) is plenty sharp, except at close distances wide open. The V's lens is much sharper there, and a bit sharper at the edges wide open, but the latter never bothered me; that lens was just so, so full of character. I'm not...

As far as I'm concerned, they might as well put Bayer sensors in all bodies. I don't believe there's much IQ difference either way. When they just started Xtrans, they offered less moiré, with the downside of muddy or crunchy fine details in certain color ranges (muddy skin tones, crumchy...

Yes, it works for stills images too. To me, that's the main benefit over the X-T3. But I dislike the fully articulating screen so much that I'd rather have the X-H1 with its bigger heft and older sensor

Welcome Steven! Good to see you posting one of your shots straight away, and a nice one it is, too! Out of curiosity, what did you do at Fujifilm?

35/1.4 with WR and focus update would be fantastic Are you sure that 4 lenses will be X mount? Or also GFX?

I never saw the need fornanlens upgrade outside of wide open / up close situations. At medium and far focus distance and at f/4, my original X100 delivers incredibly sharp results even into the corners, and I am certain the lens would still be incredible on a 26mp sensor. Anyone complaining...

STILL no weather sealing... *Sigh...*

Amen! Add in IBIS, and I'll be all over it. Regarding lenses: I can't see myself ever not having an X100 series camera, and I'm strongly considering adding an XT2 or XH1 with the 50/2. It's small-ish, weather sealed, and a big enough jump in focal length from the X100's 23mm to avoid...

Ooh TIFF output sounds like a dream come true! I'm fully in Camp Luke on the aperture dial, I love the full stops dial on my original X100 and, apart from playing with it once, literally never used the inbetween apertures in almost 7 years of using that camera as my main setup. I like how...

My poor old X100 has been rained on (not to soaking wet level, but still more than a few drops), sea sprayed on (with a filter), exposed to desert dust, slammed against rocks, poles, walls and more, fallen on wooden floors, and sweated on more than I care to admit. The on/off switch is getting...

Another great series of Nick photos. I, too, am happy to see them every year. Nick looks like he's doing well.

What Fuji should really make is dead simple. - instax wide portable printer, and to really make a killing: - give it a touchscreen and stock android, so owners of other cameras can download their respective image transfer apps, to remove the phone from the workflow from camera to printer. So...

My current travel camera philosophy is: one "point of view" camera that is of high enough quality to record once in a lifetime opportunities, but also portable enough to acrually record your point of view. Needs to be simple and get out of your way. Will be 28-50mm for most people, in my case...

I can just feel the deflation... Poor power ranger! :-P

With 24mp, you can crop the X100T/F's files down to 50mm equicalent and still be left with a 12mp file before upressing, that's the same as the original X100. And you'd be cropping from the centrap, sharpest part of the lens. That should make it possible to make excellent prints (upressing my...

^ field of view of a cropped image would be 100% the same. Depth of field would be deeper (28efl 1.4 would be 18mm/1.4 is 12.86mm, so that cropped to 50mm efl would be equal to a 33mm f/2.56, or 50mm f/3.88. At wider fields of view, larger sensors and the accompanying longer focal lengths tend...

With my Ricoh PX waterproof compact, I used to set the jpegs to minimum everything (contrast, saturation, sharpness), and it'd actually give me very decent results after fairly little postprocessing.

Congratulations to all, and again, wow... What a thing to do for someone else! Incredible.

Come on guys, don't do this to me! I'm trying to convince myself I need another camera! Let me enjoy my GAS without pointing out how wonderful my current camera is.. ;-P

I genuinely love the simplicity of the fixed focal length of my original x100... But yes, it's slow as bleep, and it's beginning to grate me as well.

USB-C charging! That's the biggest news for me. Good to finally see cameras adopting this... Hooe to see a future x100 with usb-c as well. That'd bring me an important step closer to needing only 1 charger for all of my electronics (laptop and phone already use it). The all-red night view...

I love seeing your Nick series pop up once a year... Hard to choose a favorite, but I really like 1, 3 and 5! Tell him, though, that the beard looked glorious and it's a minor shame to see it gone so soon after making its first appearance - it suited him!

Reading all the 'remove the rear screen' comments made me think back to film cameras, where the rear would be the place to load film. Which made me think that an X100 with integrated Instax (wide) printer would be really cool, although it'd probably get pretty thick in the process... Maybe...

Really, i dont think the xtrans makes the jpegs any better. Especially on the first 2 gens of Xtrans, i kept reading comments on hownthe jpegs werent quite as good as on the original x100; things seem to have improved with the 24mp gen3 sensors, but afaik thats more down to computing power than...

If that 16mm had been f/2, it might have had me looking at interchangeable lens Fuji's. Since it's not, I can happily keep lusting after the X100f...

You mean like the choice to leave the tilting screen flush with the camera body? ;-) As was mentioned before, being able to use the teleconverter in raw would be nice!

- Weather sealing (!!!!!!!!... Dammit Fuji, people have been asking for this since the original X100, just get it done!) - Usb-c charging instead of micro usb And less important: - ... Well if I'm dreaming, a 36x16mm pano sensor that can be cropped to regular 24x16mm aps-c, like a fixed-lens...

Opinions over whether the average user will ecer notice the lightroom worms vary. It's clear that the LRW exist, and that other developers - iridient, capture one and raw therapee get particularly good reviews in this regard - do better to the critical eye. DxO refuses to develop Fuji raws so...

Ooh that's a nice one

Photography is about 3 (monochrome sensors) or 4 (color sensors) things: - number of photons collected - angle at which the photon travels from the object it reflects off, to the sensor; - sensor efficiency; and (for color) - color filter array. There is not a single image in the history of...

I love fuji's jpegs but sometimes you envision something else than the jpeg engineers (as a side note, the jpegs are nicely judged but rarely resemble actual film). For me i want something else than the jpeg in about 30 - 50% of the "keepers", and I'd rather edit the raw file instead of the...

Yup, I'd be excited for Fuji to go Bayer only. Xtrans might've had some benefit for 16mp sensors, but at 24mp the benefits and downsides in terms of iq potential seem to cancel each other put, and all you're left with is files that not all software can work with...

A WR 16/2 at or near the size of the 18/2 would have me seriously considering an ILC for the firs time...

It is, and it does! Epic thread revival though... :wink: For its latest models, fuji also has software called Fuji x raw, or something like that. It allows you to hook the camera up to your computer, and use the camera's jpeg engine to process the raw files with aby jpeg engine settings you...

I personally find the x100 to be the only fixed focal length camera that I could see myself using as an only camera, because of the flexibility of the 35mm eq focal length. I thought i'd miss wider fl's, and I do sometimes, but 35 is just so versatile... and the single focal length also adds...

Welcome back Ian, good to see you around again! Looking forward to seeing some of your photos.
