I stopped Fuji’s booth at NAB. I finally got hold the xh1. I really like the feel. It had the 16-55 on it and it felt nicely balanced with no grip. I would love to upgrade to this body, oh well.
I also finally got got to play with a gfx. Fuck me that resolution. Daddy wants.

I tried out the LUT on some test footage I shot with 6Dmkii using the technicolor cinestyle profile.
Looks really nice even coming from my canon cam.

Thanks. I upgraded last night...funny, first firmware upgrade Ive done, I was behind, haha.
I should also update the FW on my lenses.
I saw the LUT, I'll look in to that a little later. Not a huge priority for me since I don't really use this camera for video. yet I was excited to see the internal flog and 120fps at 1080.

I know it’s not x trans but a lot of reviews are liking this one. I love the tiny size. Pair this with the 23/2 and it’s a great everyday camera.

I'd probably pair it with the 18mm or 27mm pancake.

I do like how the screen can flip out for vlogging/selfies AND it still has the ability to tilt!

Not sure if I posted the rumor for it. But a the Fuji XF10 should be announced July 19th.
basically a Fuji X70, but no selfie screen and no X-Trans.
24mp
probably similar specs to the X-T100 is my guess

I played with the XT100 last week. Very plasticy and cheap feeling compared to the XT20 which is the same size.
Either way...you want know really killing Fuji for me? The Fuji community. Its just riddled with huge schmucks.

Yeah I’m sure.
go to either of the big Fuji pages on FB and its the same threads over and over...What bag do you use, what lens should I get, what software is everyone using.
There is this over arching conspiracy that LR doesnt handle RAF files as well as other apps. And perhaps it doesnt sharpen fine detail as well as others in some cases...you’d think these guys were all selling prints for thousands of dollars with their whining...but no, typical pixel peepers who put 100% of their crap online. I’m just over it. Need a break.
