Is it Netflix approved?? ?

Nice thing is they kept sensors low resolution. I don't want my phone to make 25Mb JPGs. 

FINALLY!!!

There is no mention to one of the most important factors, now that specs are really great in most cameras: easy menus!

YouTube if full of travel videos. Only a long bad travel video can be worse than a short bad travel video. I see a lot of 2-3-4 minutes long videos that have zero continuity and are impossible to watch completely. Some randoms clips with background music. 

I would warmly recommend that you do a version for yourself/friends/family and a shorter universal version, to put online. 

It is so nice to feel supported by Fujifilm! Anybody had problems with v.3.0??

Sigma lens are amazing. I wouldn't say they have a lot of character, but they are incredibly sharp wide open. 

Hi end lenses are about NOT having character, which in fact are defaults. 

On post you can tweak the effect to your liking too, so if you have the time, go ahead!

For low-mid level works, the more you do on camera, the more money you make. For high-end, it probably makes more sense to do it in post. 

In the first video is incredible how different skin colors are.

You make it seem like Thunderbolt3 performance is predictable.

Here is one example of how unpredictable it can be: The left side Thunderbolt3 ports on a 2017 MacBook Pro Touchbar has higher bandwidth than the right side Thunderbolt3 ports.

I want an external GPU, but it seems like the only way to find out how well it will work on your specific configuration is to test it yourself.

I didn't knew, I have Thunderbolt 2 and use it as video output. It's not good news then Thunderbolt 3 performance is finicky...

Shooting 8K and delivering DVDs!!!

Why would you suspect your Thunderbolt doesn't work?? If in doubt, buy your RAID in a place where you can return it.

I am fighting with the red and it's not very nice. I will try yellow!

Mine worked perfectly with LX100 4K h264 25p, but either HVEC or 10 bit or 50p killed it. I haven't started any serious project, but I foresee proxy/Prores creation as a necessary step.

Kind of a noobish question here, but what exactly are the computer specs needed to edit and export the 10-bit HEVC files?

I know the latest Intels have hardware acceleration, but I'm lost in the tech lingo and find a lot of conflicting info of what exactly is hardware accelerated: 8-bit only or 10-bit DEcoding but software only on ENcoding, GPU renders on the timeline and CPU on export, etc. I'm also a Mac person and some say that the OS is the bottleneck...

So what do I need to transcode and export 10-bit HEVC with reasonable speed? Mac or Windows doesn't matter. If I can edit natively in FCPX (time to upgrade my 2013 MBP anyway) I'd be more than happy, but if building a Hackintosh or PC with Windows to transcode to Prores (finally Adobe!) and double as a HTPC as well, that's fine.

I have an i7 MBP with GeForce 750M from 2013 and the combination of 10bit/HEVC brings it to it's knees. I haven't developed a workflow yet, but I will need to start to use proxys. It made a lot of difference in FCP X if the output was 4K (it worked better) or if it was less than 4K (it worked worse, probably having to resize the image sucks some CPU/GPU crunch).

The f****ing folder where if you move or change anything, you couldn't get anything out of it?? Who misses it?? 

I have a 128Gb and a 64Gb and they both seem to work. I tried to find a difference between 400mbps and 200mbps and couldn't find it yet!

I bought the Viltrox and IS (image stabilisation) is not supported. Autofocus doesn’t always work on all lenses. So I sent it back. I’m waiting for the fringer ef-fx pro to test it.

Terrible news

My Macbook fighted with h264 4K25p 100mbps 8 bit files OK. It's on its knees with h265 4K50p 10 bit files. 8K it's the last thing I need from a camera for the next ten years!

RAM is user upgradable (two slots) and 32Gb would cost you little more than paying Apple for 16Gb, it comes with a 256Gb SSD, so instead of upgrading to 512Gb, you can buy a Samsung T5 of 1Tb. So with 2000€ you have one hell of a machine. The first benchmarks are promising ("The first Geekbench result is the strongest, showing a single-core score of 5512, which eclipses all Mac models save for the latest four-core 4.2GHz iMac, plus a multi-core score of 23516.").

I agree, is a cheap and good kit lens...

Hey, it is a Greek flag at your back!

It's an incredible lens for the price. And if you are a wide-angle kind of guy, the 10-24mm OIS is the natural option. All available now!

I was in Athens last weekend, I loved it!!!!!!!!!

Smallrig 2228, I don't have it, it's on my to-buy list

I keep wrestling between the 16-55 and the 18-55 - massive savings to be had. 

No need to wrestle! Get the kit with 18-55mm which has IS and great quality at low price. Make money with it and then you can get whatever lens you prefer!

The 18-55 is 2.8-4f and the 16-55 has no IS. This is a huge disadvantage of the whole system, no real workhorse.

Have you used the 18-55?? It's a 300€ lens when purchased as a kit with the body! 

I agree and would love to see prime with IS from Fujifilm.

The only thing Apple seem keen on you using as an input source on the iPad is your credit card number for the app store...
