    Brian Williams got a reaction from IronFilm in The New Panasonic G100 “vlogging” Camera to launch June 24th   
    It doesn’t even have IBIS it turns out, just some hybrid EIS+OIS system.

    I sat through this video so you don’t have to, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news: the camera showed signs of overheating really quickly. Yes, they seem to be in a very warm climate but according to the reviewer warnings about overheating popped up within minutes. If this will be the case with the finished production copies, it will certainly not be suitable for any serious work. 
    Ominous to say the least, especially since there are several reports about issues with the X100V as well, from overheating to misaligned focus rings. Shame on you Fujifilm.

    Mosiac engineering filter installed on the camera, tested with the kit lens ef-m 18-55 and the ef-m 22mm. MCM rewire, full sensor read out, upscaled to 4k
    Aliasing and moire is still present but reduced enough that I dont have to throw away as much footage.

    He's from the future. Around late-April to mid-May, firmware 1.01

    The whole 5 pages of this topic is why pre-production models and firmware makes zero sense to me. How am I supposed to get anything from these videos if everything they show is subject to change? How am I supposed to know if the jerky warpy IBIS is just pre-prod firmware or will be there in the camera I can ACTUALLY buy? How can I make a decision about the autofocus performance when everyone says "oh it's just pre-prod firmware it will be improved"? 
    All I can get from these videos is that the camera looks nice, but I could also take it from reading a spec sheet and looking at the images online. Everything else isn't representative of what I'll find in the store.
     
    I just want a GH5 with proper autofocus.

    @Trek of Joy it's worth it. There's also something about it that reminds me of shooting still photos on celluloid. The high quality and fact that when you unpack each clip its just thousands of raw images. Grading with it is a dream coming from a stills background. Makes me only ever want a RAW cinema camera in the future.

    Yeah, well your past posts have shown a bias against Fuji; I’ve owned both the A7iii as well as the X-T3 (I’ve got full-blown  gear acquisition syndrome, though it’s true that I do tend to skip Canon due to their sensors always scoring lower than Sony-made sensors) and the idea that the X-T3’s AF is somehow subpar is ridiculous. No, it’s not dual pixel, as I said, but yes, it is as good as Sony’s. If you want to disagree with almost everyone here and almost every reviewer out there, I won’t stop you.

    Would rather have no 6K on the X-T4 than no X-H2.
    I'm not so disappointed as long as the X-H2 is coming this year.
    Fuji would be stupid not to.
    X-T4 is still a very good camera and a good upgrade to the X-T3 which didn't come out so long ago.
    One of the best cameras under $2k.

    So all this 6K monster talk and we have a refined X-T4 With IBIS (not a bad thing). Still would have been nicer in X-H2.

    Seems digital stabilization is coming along with the IBIS, as well as 240fps

    Are people not happy with the focusing system of the X-T3? Maybe not dual-pixel AF, but easily as good as Sony’s implementation on their cameras, no?
    I wouldn’t hold my breathe on the R5 just yet, I know everyone is losing their shit over the potential of it (and rightly so if it turns out to be as good as it sounds) but never underestimate Canon’s ability to really screw things up, especially when something is suddenly leap-frogging all their current hardware; I’m interested to see what their version of 8K actually entails, or the quality of their IBIS. Or, at least, the price! Assuming that rumored €9999 price is wrong, but we’ll see. If correct, it shouldn’t be in the same conversation as a $1700 X-T4.

    How was the X-H1 a "disappointment"??

    I remember many on here being excited about it, as it was Fuji's best camera at the time!

    Is only in context of history as we look back with the X-T3 does the X-H1 seem a little "disappointing"
     

    This. THIS!

    Exactly this. 

    X-T4 doesn't need 4K. 

    Just add IBIS, plus further refinements (such as a full size HDMI, and my personal pet hobby horse... TC I/O!!).

    Fujirumors.com also just confirmed no 6K.
    Androidlad was soo confident, I think I will take everything he says going forward with a grain of salt.
