I've heard that Capture One handles Fuji files and color better than Adobe
but as you mentioned, Capture One isnt available for iPad.

Yes the all the iPad and iPhones support raw at this point.
Lightroom on the iPad Pro is finally really good with that last update...still needs more but really good, and I have it sync currently. BUT again, not so great with the Fuji and sharpening. But I still have testing to do, as I haven’t really dont any serious shooting since making the switch.
But there are supposedly TONS of RAW editors that handle Fuji better than Lightroom. Cap One, ON1, Alien Skin X3, Picktorial, etc

And Affinity on the iPad Pro is one seriously powerful editor...probably the most PC competing editor out there...but it takes time to learn...and I have to test to see if handles Fuji Raw better than Lightroom.

They also edit their videos with LumaFusion. Which amazingly supports editing 4K60FPS content

I only asked about RAW because I told a guy at work yesterday that the iPad Pro supports RAW and he said it didn't for him for some reason, it made me think twice about it. I bought my wife an iPad Pro and she's been doing a lot of art work with it, using the pencil. While it's not as powerful as her Cintiq tablet, she prefers the iPad Pro since she can just draw while on the couch

How is he transferring the images to his iPad?
if it's by wifi, all camera companies seem to only want to transfer jpegs
(would be nice to be given a choice and acknowledge it'll take a long time and consume more battery power)
he would have to use the lightning SD card reader or lightning to USB adapter.

Camera SD adapter.
Fuji will o my do Jpeg over WiFi...and it’s not fast either. So, I’d rather use the adapter.

Now if only Canon would release a firmware update to add 4K to the 6D Mark II, or heck even the ALL-I video compression for 1080p/720p
I did notice the 4K time lapse mode records in ALL-I, so its not like the camera isn't capable of it

Got one of these for Christmas. Going to try it out tonight. Anyone have any experience with one?

^ haha yes! My daughter got one for Christmas as well. Image quality wise you won't get the best, but it really does give you the old film look. The film refills run almost a dollar a shot so you really gotta make it count.

Yeah the film is pricey. Got 20 shots for like 15 bucks at Walmart. I know quality wise it won't be super sharp. Just something warm and nostalgic about Polaroids. Going to be really selective about shots and most likely do a scrape book of collage type thing.

I will be getting a cork board for my daughter to pin her pictures on. I really love the way the pictures look because like you said, it gives off a nostalgic feeling.

Missed some rumors.
X-H1 should have a shorter almost blackout free EVF, like the Sony A9.
Should be announced on Feb 14th.

2. RAW RECORDING : LOSSLESS COMPRESSED

X-A5 and XC 15-45mm f3.5-5.6 pancake zoom to be announced Jan 31.
IIRC the X-A line had a Bayer sensor vs X-Trans on cameras like the X-T2/20

Fuji should not be trying to play this game. They can’t compete with the a7sii or the gh5s for video.

Im curious if there are enough Fuji users shooting video out there whining enough to make this an issue. Or if Fuji really thinks they can sneak into the prosumer video market.
