That's easy. If she says anything simply say,"I didn't actually spend any money. I just had to suck his dick."
she'll turn around and leave the room and that'll be it.

While a cool rumor, I don't think its enough of a feature for me to take a loss and upgrade to a new body so soon.

The good news is that according to FR it may be a long time before it comes out, or it maybe just be something Fuji is working on and may never end up releasing it

Rumors say there will be a new firmware coming out for the X-Pro 2 that will enable 4K video.
If this is true, Canon should totally follow and bring 4K to the 6D Mark II.
or release a 6D Mark II N with a proper sensor from 2017

- The phenomenon is fixed that exposure compensation is not correctly reflected to brightness of live view on LCD and EVF when ISO setting is “AUTO”, exposure compensation is “C” and it is changed by the command dial.
- Touch panel operation when using the EVF: The firmware update will make it possible to use the touch panel while looking into the viewfinder. According to the operation method, it’s possible to set the effective range of the touch panel to the full screen, right half, left half, or OFF.

- Addition of “Shoot Without Card” mode: With the update, you can have the “Shoot Without Card” mode turned OFF so that the camera will not shoot when there is no SD card inserted.
- Addition of “-6” and “-7” to EVF’s brightness setting: The update will extend the “EVF Brightness” setting options to “-6” and “-7” so that, even in an extremely low-light condition, the brightness of the EVF does not distract you from shooting.

I think the only reason I would need the 8-16 is really for the 8mm. It's a very specialized lens for landscape and indoor architecture. I can't see it being use for anything else.

Lots of rumors on the Fuji X-H1.
its a more video focused camera
its a more video focused camera
Fujifilm X-H1 Rumored Specs
- Despite what Fujifilm managers said about X-mount not being compatible with IBIS, the X-H1 will have IBIS
- IBIS will work with all Fujinon X-mount lenses.
- As opposed to Olympus & Co, IBIS and OIS will not work together… at least currently that’s not possible. Maybe Fujifilm will tweak the firmware in future. But at launch I don’t expect IBIS and OIS to work together.
- Fujifilm’s IBIS solution will not allow the sensor shift multishot
- There will be design changes over the X-T2, such as a better hand grip
- The X-H1 will have the 24MP megapixel X-Trans III sensor
- The release is (currently) scheduled for the first half of 2018
- Shipping in February
- Will cost around $2,000
- New Film simulation Eterna is coming
- IBIS Full sensor readout
- Internal F-Log
- No Exp.Comp dial but top LCD screen like GFX
- Fuji X-T2 Vs. X-H1 Size Comparison

Just my opinion but from a marketing perspective I think the X-T2s is a much better name than X-H1
Either way I'm looking forward to the drop in price of the X-T2 so I can upgrade.

Why would they give a “S” designate to a current body for one new that is moving in another direction? Can’t see the follow up to the XT2 even having IBIS.

As I mentioned earlier the X-H1 is a video oriented camera. Much like the Panasonic GH5.

So, while I love my fuji and I have no regrets on the switch...The one drawback for me has been overall resolution in big wide shots.
And I know people on the fuji FB page always lament about adobes handling of fuji RAW. I figured the differences were negligible. And then the site admin posting this gorgeous shot and I could actually zoom in ( on a FB posted photo) and see details in the far away objects. He said he was using Alien Skin X3.
Now, I have been trying to find alternatives to get away from using LR for awhile...but I always wanted to make the full on switch to editing on my iPad Pro...And if I was just using LR I think I'd be good...but this new development has me up in arms again. I did get Affinity on the iPad pro a few days again when they had their %50 flash sale...and I'm hoping that will be a good alternative, but its not an easy interface to learn, even going through the tutorials.
Anyway...I've not see the "light" that Lightroom does not do Fujifilm RAW files any justice at all, especially in wide landscape shots.
