To my book, this can be a deal breaker (in favour of Panny instead as better alternative) if not fixed... On that one I am absolutely with @jonpais where you're used to be, Jon, because certain things count even more than IQ, being reliability one of them.

Mine: X-H2 for IBIS with 33mm f/1 plus a kit formed by the already existent Fuji glass 10-24mm f/4; 16mm f/1.4; 23mm f/2 & 50-140mm f/2.8 without mention the respective 1.4x teleconverter and a couple of extension tubes for macro shooting. Yours?

I called it a miss. No 4K/60p today makes no sense at all. Not even through HDMI output? C'mon... Even GoPro and smartphones have it in-camera! Something we have in common, pal, we both pursue the ideal cam, hard to come though LOL : ) My best bet is the X-H2 to bring IBIS coupled to the upcoming fastest mirrorless lens: 33mm f/1 (f/1.7 in 35mm terms); without mention a kit formed by 16mm f/1.4, 23mm f/2 & 50-140mm f/2.8 (not bad at longer end for a tele zoom) plus the 1.4x teleconverter, all that along 2019-20.

Without mention, daylight. C'mon, we are not all vampires LOL : -)

Ah your focus is not light tools but the amount of light arriving to the sensor whatever size is. However, your contradictory 'the larger the better' motto trumps : D I am still puzzled, mate... ; ) Only to answer your question, aside ergonomics, weight, focal length range or any other options to make, I tend to use the best choice to serve my purpose. If some tool fits the job, why some other? No special love for MFT. Lightweight may serve better though. I see photography as it is: a combo of factors, not stuck to obsessions, FF or wherever they suit. Unfortunately, FF is (only) one of them. I love large formats. But not underestimating the sciences of light and shooting where convenience stands. OK, last but not least, following your style: do you know the only reason why I am just looking for Z7 Mark II? Yes, because I don't disregard resolution at all as hybrid all included (let one of fine obsessions for large format printing flow at least LOL). 4K/60fps. We might call it obsession. I'd rather see it as mandatory instead. As you know, I am not alone on that one, isn't it?

Yes, I had already seen it, as matter of fact. Settings might surprise you indeed. No idea if it is 100% a matter of color science. Shooting science for sure... E : -)

Really? Funny. Seems hybrids have yet to evolve. Oh well, their makers at least. What about the users? The jury declines to rule out.

How come?! You'll exactly have the same DOF as much as f/4 you have going with FF. 12-35mm f/2.8 is lighter but slower comparing with FF where you have +2 stops of difference, so f/4 (FF) it is still 1-stop faster (35mm equivalent). You show to handle all that in your math though... so?! : -) Ah, you mean, lighter? Mirrorless is lighter. Go figure when you'll put your hands in your glass for the new large format by Panasonic... Weren't you so enthusiastic about the idea? ; -)

I'd even much appreciate FUJI might send you some unit to you there for testing it out. I'd say the same to the other brand under our spotlight these hot days... @CaptainHook @John Brawley Rather than those Asian testers not only geographically distant from their European customers, left to the end of the road as seems so. October arrived. "Photokina is much more than a show of new products", as they say. Well, 'media convergence' nowadays too.

Dennis, you know it may become pretty misleading without proper testing and time for checking the best from your settings out. Balcony tests are rubbish : ) Thanks anyway to hear especially from you (E : -)

Because you can have a better updated mirrorless camera body with you and save the phone device when the best acquisition tool is the one you can use it... As simple as that ; ) To be on budget doesn't mean to be restricted to a single budget, unless you are a high-school student living with and from resources of your own : -)

Almost there ; ) I wouldn't pay much more for such in any way other than as pretext to charge more for my services ; -)

They will surely release their X-H2 to expand their X-Trans IV introduction now; you'll pay 400 bucks for IBIS from Feb/March on, my best bet earlier than the 33mm f/1 bomb will be added to their lineup one year later: f/1.8 FF or 35mm equivalent without mention focal reducers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujifilm_X-Trans_sensor

As much as f/2 on MFT or f/2.4 on APS-C (Fuji users tend to appreciate their 16-55mm f/2.8... but I second that one, man ; ) In any case, my 24-105 f/4 is one of my favs ever : -)

Both of you are right. Life. E : -)

Not even at AF continuous mode?

Not yet there? I see it as the most significant difference to tap to focus as for instance.

As for instance other than the one from Peau Productions? Do you know other makers?

Can you add a test sample along the wide end of that 18-35mm f/1.8 please?

+2 stops as @ntblowz posted. Here's an interesting article on topic: http://www.dvxuser.com/articles/article.php/21

Right Don : ) But don't stress the codec too much or there's no bit rate to handle it. Know your tool : ) That video up there sold me, among others even despite that orange & teal : -D

Thanks guys. here we have some interesting video samples on both zooms and primes from same shooter: As well, the 35mm f/1.4 and 16-55mm f/2.8 going on AF from an usual suspect:
