What's the camera <$2500 with the best (cleanest) 1080p 60fps, APSC or FF, with IS and with very good AF video tracking? 

Thanks. 

The Nikon Z6 has all those things

@Andrew Reid can you shed some light on this?

Rolling shutter is determined by the sensor readout speed, not the processor.

They share the same sensor.

That may be so, but the xt20 shared the same internals as the xt2 and had noticeably worse rolling shutter. 

Is the ruling shutter on the xt30 the same as the xt3?

Am I simply justifying my anachronistic (read: old fart) attitudes or do I really have a legitimate point?   Am I alone?  Is anyone else attracted to this?

Neither. Like most things, it's just a matter of taste. Most film and television we see have perfect focus control, which most filmmakers want to imitate and so they resort to AF.

Hey guys

I have a D750 and am finding I can't change the shutter speed whilst in Shutter priority in video mode. Is this normal?

Looks like the quality of PetaPixel's journalism has improved. When I stopped reading their site, it was because they would merely post links to other sites/videos with little commentary and click baitey titles. 

Now they're writing gems like 

"Afterwards, the duo ran a simulation and calculated the efficacy with 500 rays, and the resulting average satisfaction for all examples was 99.9999999999%. Which, of course, is great news for gear reviewers on YouTube, as they will still be able to argue about the 0.0000000001% of sharpness difference among lens brands." 

Also have a look at the algebraic formula in the article. Holy smokes.

Apparently we will be able to use our iPads as a "second" screen to our Macbooks. I wonder how that will work out w/r/t latency, compatibility etc. Could be a potentially be very useful...

You can already do that on Mac and PC. https://www.duetdisplay.com/

There is a slightly noticeable latency

Great review, thanks

It's actually pretty light

Can someone tell me how good autofocus is in video with EF speed boosted lenses?

Some awesome work being shown in here.

I just noticed also that bodies are going for less than £1000 on ebay now. I swear it took the XT2 a lot longer to fall below that mark

I saw the example video on reddit a few weeks ago. Looks great! Thanks a lot for doing this tutorial

What do you mean are they "worth it"? They're free... 

Damn, someone cutting onions in here?

I have photographed many weddings and the 35mm f/1.4 has been there since the Fuji beginnings. The only one who would notice the focusing sound is the photographer himself. If my second shooter used the lens, I never picked up on any sound. 
For video though, external sound recording is absolutely necessary 

Photographing is fine. But when you're doing video and the lens is constantly refocusing I think the noise may be more of an issue. But you know... Just my opinion

Is it that loud that it would ruin a wedding shoot?

if you use the internal mic to record then yes. But if you do, you probably shouldn't shoot weddings ?

As soon as you move the mic away, it won't pick up the sound.

I wasnt even thinking about the microphone pick up but yeh that's another thing to think about. The noise would probably disturb a quiet venue and be picked up by your mic if it's too close. The 18mm f2 is the worst, followed by the 35mm 1.4 and then the 23mm 1.4. I haven't used the 56mm f1.2 so can't comment on that.

As a long term Fuji user, I'd say the opposite actually and the newer lenses work better, - faster, more accurate and quieter.

The f2's especially.

I never mentioned the newer lenses?? I agree they are functionally better than the old lenses

I've heard the old lenses work a lot better on the XT3. But you'll still have to deal with how noisy those fast lenses are, especially the 35mm 1.4 and 18mm f2.  If you're doing a wedding or some other quiet event then I wouldn't recommend it

Has the transition between out of focus and in focus areas improved?

Optically they're identical

Oh gee! I never knew that

Really interesting stuff. First time I've heard of Duclos, Celere, CML or most of the rest that was written. 

Surely the easiest way to prove Celere and Samyang lenses are different would be to post the lens diagrams?

still tho... wheres my hoverboard?

Psssh. Who needs a hoverboard when you have a phone with 12 gigs of ram ?

I'm just glad they called it the Fold rather than something ambiguous like the XS, pronounced ten - s. 

But this isn't how I imagined a folding phone. I was thinking something that rolled out into the size of a phone. Not a rectangle the size of a phone that folded out into a small tablet.

XT2 is probably the best hybrid camera deal around. Especially since it got the 120fps FHD & internal F-Log update.

XH1's have also gone down a lot, and with IBIS + Eterna they are solid affordable options as well.

 

oh damn, forgot about the 120fps update! Is it any good?

On a side note, X-T2's are now going for £500 on ebay. What a time to be alive.
