I am extremely excited for the Fuji 33mm F1.4 LM WR R coming out this month. To me this is sort of an end-game lens. I love shooting in rain, snow and other weather, and I travel to places where dust and smog is a concern. Having weather sealing and fast quiet focusing is going to be the thing that gets me to jump in when the 35mm F1.4 could not entice me enough. Anyone else looking at this or other lenses coming in 2021?

SMERSH Mouth posted:I watched the DPR video on the 33/1.4 WR and it looks like a great lens, but not so great that it would replace my trusty 35/2 WR. I await the verdict on the 23/1.4 WR, because I want a prime in that focal length and at the very least hope that the new version will drive down prices on the original 23/1.4. I get you. For me, the three things I love about photography are inclement weather (rain etc.), lower light and black and white. It's almost like the lens was made specifically for me.

These 'official' x100VI leaks are expected but disappointing. Made in china, heavier, only one SD card slot, IBIS for some reason when no one uses it for video, not fully weather sealed, EVF is unchanged, but has the new sensor and AI algorithms for focusing. There doesn't appear to be any new button functionality/buttons added or a d-pad type addition. And it's at least 1700 starting price. Waiting for the XT6 it is.

harperdc posted:Did the X100s ever have two card slots? Thought that wasn’t a feature there. It wasn't ever a feature, which is why a lot of people were hoping it would be an addition rather than a single UHS-I. There were also rumors that Fujifilm was considering some amount of internal storage and they abandoned that as well. Oh and it seems like the battery enhancements will mostly come from the software side/processor and it won't feature a larger battery. It's already perilously close to weighing too much, and with IBIS it's not a light camera anymore on balance. The xPro4 at this point will likely end up being 2000 given a combination of features from existing cameras into the traditional form factor of the line.

harperdc posted:Yeah that feels like it’s on them. Same with the battery, too. Those are two big changes that don’t feel like they would fundamentally make the next one cheaper to build or sell more units. Dual card feels like a pro feature Fuji reserves for higher end bodies. I don't know about that. Dual SD cards or some cheap internal memory is a nothingburger for price and the fact that this product is now made in China on the cheap means they can add features and provide value to consumers. Slapping the internals of other existing cameras into this body, lowering production and shipment costs and charging 300 more feels not great. For me personally I really wanted the camera to be easier to navigate via enhanced buttons, a dpad in particular. I am also still flabbergasted that it's apparently not fully weather resistant and will require 75-200 worth of accessories.

qirex posted:The X100 has always been the internals from one of their other cameras slapped into a fixed lens body. The body and lens are the only unique parts. I'd imagine they're moving production to China because they literally can't make enough X100Vs right now and their whole production line is super backed up while they have a rare retail hit in the shrinking world of dedicated cameras. This was probably also something planned years ago and not some cynical move to take advantage of gullible tiktokers, creating a new production line is incredibly difficult. If you're worried about it wait a few months for reliability info. please don't "u mad" me in 2024, I just like talking about cameras, it's not that serious.

Spring and Summer will have 2 body announcements, which is exciting. One will be photo-centric and one will be hybrid.

I was less than quietly rooting for a 26mp stacked sensor.

Preorders are 50x bigger for the x100vi than the Sony A7CII and Sony A7CR combined. Only 14k units are being made each month (edit- this might be a misreading, it might be "per shipment" and the next shipment is April which would mean 14k units every ~2 months) so you're looking at maybe mid-to-late Summer if those haven't already filled up too. I have a suspicion that by the end of this week we're well into the Fall, but that's a guess based on WEX and BH interviews.

Mega Comrade posted:The XT-5 was super late in 2022 though, November. Month wise the gap between 4 and 5 was just shy of 3 years, so think 2025 is far more likely. What new innovations can the xt6 have? The XT5 has the xprocessor5 and the 40.2 MP sensor. It has the advancements to video and they don't want to go above and beyond the XH series. It's already weathersealed with a dual card, large battery and everything else. I think these questions are why it's an early 2026 camera.

runawayturtles posted:Fuji is releasing a new kit lens soon to make better use of 40mp, right? Is anyone waiting to get an X-T5 with that instead of the 18-55 or 16-80? I've heard people say it's a wild decision to release a new kit lens. If the old kit lens were released second, people would say it was a big upgrade. In terms of functionality, the old kit lens was so useful for making video for normal people and families in particular. The new lens is less useful for photography and video for me personally. I'd end up selling it and getting a nice third party lens whereas the old kit lens found room in my bag for some time. Shammypants fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Mar 9, 2024 |
