    I take back what I said in my last post. I just did some side by sides with my Nikon D5500 on the Flat profile (which i've previously described as having as much DR as the C100 II) and the Fuji is actually as good or better. 
    Attaching screencaps. Some extreme dynamic range tests.
    Here's the D5500 with Flat profile

    The Fuji at 1080p with ProNeg Standard profile, -2 shadows and highlights, -4 sharpness.
    +1 stop of exposure compared to the Nikon (because the Nikon is brighter at the same exposure settings)

    The Fuji at the same exposure settings as the Nikon:

    Now with contrast at -100 using the Lumetri panel in Premiere Pro:

    These were all at 1080p. At 4k there is even more headroom and the colours tend to be noticeably nicer.

    Exactly. But coming back to the Fuji topic. Fuji and Olympus have something in common. Olympus has such a great stabilisation system. Everybody said, "If they could do proper video."
    Fuji has such great colours, "If they could do proper video".
    Now, Fuji did a huge step into the right direction. To me, this is good enough, because I also need very good stills. Of course, I would also be interested in slow motion, but every camera has it's downsides. For instance, I wouldn't shoot stills with an URSA mini.

    Of the top of my head, bigger sensor than the GH4 and a system thats alive compared to the Samsung
    But all in all its a matter of personal needs and taste. I dont see anything in Samsung that others cant do. We just have different needs.

    I love it. But I need to say that I was a Fuji shooter already (X-E2). Regarding video, I started with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, but I was in the market for a mirrorless camera, which can do both (stills and video). I was looking at the Sony A7 cams, but the higher price and colour issues with slog were making me rethinking. I know that Fuji can produce great skin tones and I personally like the Fuji colours at least for stills. Regarding video, one tries to copy the Kodak motion picture films. I am still trying to figure that out. But so far, I am really happy with the results. Regarding stills, I was shooting a soccer game lately and really hat a lot of keepers. I don't own the battery grip yet, I didn't buy it, because I am happy with the 10 minutes of 4k for now and I couldn't resist buying the 56 f1.2 APD lens, which is a killer lens. I already own the 35 and the 14, and the push/pull focus of the 14 is nice for focus pulling. The 16 and 23 f1.4 do have this focus clutch, too. But, I'm still investigating a speedbooster solution (or maybe Veydra considers making x-mount lenses?).
    And then there is this personal taste: It's such a gorgeous camera. I admit, that it plays a big roll, too.
