Can someone tell me how much the 50mm f/2 lens is going to cost? I can't find that information anywhere...

Just a heads-up, I'll be posting another Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4 vs. Leica Nocticron field test sometime tomorrow if anyone's interested

1) What is holding you back from getting good images with the Samsung? 2) There are decent zooms in every camera system 3) Unless you're buying an Arri, all consumer cameras suffer from rolling shutter to some degree 4) If you don't swing the camera around quickly, you can minimize rolling shutter 5) if your content is interesting, nobody is going to notice rolling shutter, especially your own children. Honestly, although I don't own a Samsung camera, I've seen moving images from the NX1 that are absolutely lovely. I would just hold onto what you've got and ask for help from the community here if you're having trouble getting good image quality. It is unique, and if I could find one here in Vietnam, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat. There is no reason to get rid of a system you spent so much money on just because of a flash. There must be a dealer you can order from in the EU somewhere. Don't sell your equipment. Anyhow, that's my advice.

I'm likin' the colors, the film-like graininess. Camerawork's a bit hyper, though.

I'm thinking I'll hold off on the GH5 after all... In three more years, Panasonic will be launching the GH6 with 8K.

Wow! Push Pull Cafe. Sip a latte, listen to a bit of Miles Davis, your X-T20 sporting a fashionable leather strap, slung over your shoulder ever so casually, and even order some rolls of Tri-X along with your carry-out special blend as you surf FB on your touch bar Mac. Maybe Fuji is for hipsters.

The Camera Store TV hands on XT20 and X100F, along with a peek at the 50mm f/2, part of which was shot on the X-T20. Funny, it seems nobody can post a review of these cameras without someone saying in the comments section that they're for hipsters.

Yes, you can get up to 10X magnification in focus assist - but testing my camera just now, I see that peaking does work ok at higher magnifications. But I think I still prefer 3X most of the time.

Agreed, still quite expensive. And seeing Vietnamese (or anyone, for that matter) shooting with a tablet does make me cringe.

Just one of the many baffling decisions Apple made when they designed the 2016 MBPr that infuriated photographers, myself included, was the removal of the SD card slot. So I'll be interested in seeing just how fast I can offload video clips from the GH5 to my own MacBook Pro through the USB-C port come April.

I just finished watching an episode of Three Blind Men and an Elephant shot on the streets of Manhattan with an iPhone and DJI Osmo Mobile that looked good enough on my 15" MBPr. Sometimes I think we emphasize gear too much.

Thanks, Axel. Right after purchasing the G85, the very first thing I did was to switch the functions of the two wheels: the one at the front with the record button to shutter speed, and the one near my thumb to aperture, because on my GH4 I was always inadvertently changing shutter speed. Anyhow, this morning I went into Dial Operation Switch Setup in the menu and assigned focus assist, which changes the magnification from 3X to 10X (confusingly called AF Mode) to the front dial, ISO to the rear dial, and all is well.

No need to apologize, I need to chill sometimes.

AKED-M's link is to a download of a copy of the presentation at Photokina of the GH5 on January 4th. Worth looking at and holding onto until the actual release.

Okay, thanks, that clarifies it. Because there was no mention of a 27mm in the press release for the two new cameras Mattias mentioned.

Pardon me for asking, but which 27mm lens are you referring to? The leaked press photos show an 18-55mm and a 23mm lens. I'm guessing that designing a 55mm f/2 as compact as their popular 23mm and 35mm lenses would be more difficult. And you wish that the 18-55mm had better stabilization or that Fuji bodies had IBIS? Because when you say 'I wish they had stabilization as good as Olympus's', you are implying that Fuji cameras already have IBIS.

Sure, I'll let you borrow mine when I'm finished with it next week.

Could you clarify? I can't follow anything you're saying here. If you weren't a forum member in good standing, I'd swear this was spam.

Why is it a 'great downgrade' for an amateur to go from the NX1 to the GX85? The GX85 is a great little camera, and it has one important feature lacking on the NX1. Would you mind sharing with us the reasons why you spent an entire year accumulating an NX1 system, then suddenly, you're selling it all? I thought only doctors and lawyers spent $2,000.00 to purchase a camera for family pictures.

Nothing I've seen of Steven Clarey's footage on YouTube convinces me that the GH5 is any better than any one of Panasonic's lower end cameras. I could be mistaken, since I don't shoot high frame rates, at least I haven't in a long while, but I wasn't even aware that cameras recorded sound at 180fps. If I'm mistaken, please forgive me.

You have to love the comments over at YouTube. Somebody asks, 'isn't there any sound?" Frickin' hilarious!

We await your tests.

No, only when the Moon squares Pluto.

Remember that a one-inch sensor is much more forgiving of focusing errors than an APS-C sensor, or even u4/3.

The X-T2 (and I'm not name-dropping here because I'm infatuated with Fuji or anything, but because it's one of the only digital cameras I'm familiar with aside from Panasonic) has lots of customizable settings for AF-C; the GH5 will have at least four settings too, AFIK; and this is the future of cameras, at least as far as AF is concerned. Learning how to program your camera will take time and practice. So when Arikhan says that the X-T2 is third as far as his experience with AF goes, it could just be that he needs to spend time learning how to tell the camera what to do. I'm not 100% sure though, since to the best of my knowledge, those settings, just like face-detection (should there be a hyphen there?) are not even available when shooting 4K - and I'm not a stills shooter. What this means for enthusiasts is that, with the increasing sophistication of top-tier consumer cameras, photographers are going to be required to become more and more tech-saavy. And from an earlier topic here re: How to Save the Consumer Camera, one thing stands out: that apparently young people are not as computer literate as I once thought. @Arikhan I'm not referring to you here. The thing is, even the few times I tried using face detection, the camera showed the person's face as being detected, but when looking at the footage, it was out of focus.
