    socs got a reaction from Geoff CB in Fuji vs Nikon: Post vs Shooting and the cost of glass.   
    There is a fuji summit x summit in shibuya, JP on Sep 20.  Supposedly on the rumor sites a new mysterious fuji cam has been registered, and at last years summit they took feedback on future xt3 firmware and said they would implement one.  So rumors at the moment.

    I would wait till September 20 when fuji is announcing some new stuff.  Likely xt3 firmware and maybe new cams.

    Tempted to wait until the XH2, I thought about the XH1 but the worse video specs and inferior AF turned me off of it.

    Not to get too off topic but you mentioned the blackmagic micro cinema camera.   Everytime I use it I think I should just throw all my other cameras (z6, xt3, etc) in the trash.  For me too it has the best look to it by far.  But, you really have to work to use that camera with all of it's quirks.  Folks say you can soften modern cameras in post, but I've never seen good examples of that to match something like the bmmcc.
    I wish BM or another co. would just package that same sensor into a newer body with all the ergonomics and battery life of a modern cam.

    socs got a reaction from Kisaha in DJI Ronin-SC or Zhiyun Weebill Lab?   
    I have both and for me regardless of specs the Ronin-SC supports more weight.  For one of my cams the z6 and 24-70 f4, the webill is at the absolute limit and a bit shaky but the ronin sc handles it no problem.
    As well the xt3 only works with the lightest of lenses on the webill (16mm f2, 35mm 1.4) but the ronin-sc handles more of the heavier lenses.  Although still would need the ronin-s for very heavy ones.
    Think it's the distribution of weight.  The ronin-sc seems to handle higher lens weight vs the webill.  You mentioned eos-r, I think the webill could do the canon 40mm pancake and maybe ? , but anything else will likely give problems on the webill.  I had the 6dmkii and the 40mm pancake on the webill and was ok.

    I shot this in 2k if that helps at all


    I am really not sure what to tell you dude. Might advise just sticking with what you have if there is no big reason to upgrade. Unless you like throwing money into the wind.

    The XT3 is a great camera though. The Z6 is better if you need that low light full frame performance.

    You're not an old fossil. People have become accustomed to mediocrity. Composition, framing, and sequencing rarely exist. They've been supplemented by the "floaty" gimbal look. People are always chasing the next LUT, raw recording, but rarely "how do I improve" my work with intention. All of these tools are supposed to be chosen for a reason. Three medium-shots back to back in 120fps is not visually appealing. Great work still requires heavy rigs and heavy rigs mean: union sets, decent money, people being professionals, insurance, purpose, and making a living. 
     
    The H1 is my vote for a great hybrid camera!

    It does work with the x-t3 as far as supporting the weight, but depends on the lens.  The 14mm and the 35mm 1.4 work fine.  The 23mm 1.4 works ok if you are careful.
    The 10-24 is about the weight limit and works just ok as long as you don't move to fast or use the vortex mode.   
    I'm also using it with my 6dmkii and it works with the 40mm pancake lens.
    The reason I like it is it's light for travel, but you just have to be aware of the weight limitations for heavy setups.
