Ah, a little further elaboration...
I use the 16-80 on one body with tripod, ie, static for ceremony & speeches only.
The Sigma 18-35 is on another body and freestanding monopod for more considered work indoors.
The Tamron 45 takes over outdoors and with both of the latter lenses, mostly shooting wide open ie f1.8.
No client has ever mentioned blur, bokeh or any other technical/visual aspect. If they are ever going to want to talk about something, it will be music choices and can they have their Ed Sheeran first dance inserting somewhere 🤯

Oh and from what I have seen and unless I have said this before, the OIS on the 16-80 seems as good as the IBIS in the XT4.
I’d go with the XT4 if I could for all the other benefits but can’t get past the screen.
Still planning on getting one though, but it will be purely for stills as for video for me, the XT3 is a better option.

I can’t find a better combo.
I would rather the 16-80 was f2.8 but it isn’t.
I would rather the 16-55 had OIS, but it doesn’t.
I wish the Sigma 18-35 had OIS, but that doesn’t either.
I wish the Tamron 45 was a bit smaller and lighter...
Compromise everywhere as there is with all kit, but for my wedding video needs, paired with XT3 (not 4) these I feel are my best options.
I am going to (when work starts back up in 2025) replace my current cheap Gobe variable ND with the Polar Pro, but otherwise the only interesting bit of kit on the radar is Fuji’s own 50mm f1.0. I hope it’s not too big or heavy compared with the Tamron 45, but even if it is, still might consider it if it’s the dogs wotsits for video.
Generally though, I think other than the MK’s (too unwieldy and no AF so not for me) Fuji’s lens options for video is not the best but other stuff with the Fringer works really well.

I like the S1 and still considering one but has 2 negatives for me and those are it’s size and the AF.
Really I would need to test one, with a lens, (obviously) but that’s not a very easy thing to do in rural South West France...

The Z6 keeps calling me also.
Love everything about it except back up card slot (could live with that) and lack of 4K 60p, but otherwise just about perfect for my needs.
And the ‘lack’ of lenses some talk about. Eh? Perfect line up for me personally.
With it looking increasingly likely like zero weddings in France this season, it could be a contender for 2021...

Telefunken-Ikonoskop-Kamera vs Nikon Z6 as a run n' gun camera?
Asking for a friend.

Looks like Fuji have some firmware homework to catch up on...
Maybe employ a Samsung professor!

The IBIS definitely looks jittery in the moving shots near the end of the vid you posted. But in the more static shots it looks good. Seems like its only reliable use is a static tripod replacement. Which in itself is actually very useful as who wants to be lugging a tripod around. That said the XT3 is going for around $800 used and the 18-55 ois is amazing for handheld shooting, you can even walk with it and get good results at the 18-23mm end. 

Without reading back this entire thread, when folks are reporting wobbliness and artifacts and any other issues, can you please confirm at the same time whether this is based on having an actual production version in your own hands or whether you are simply parroting back what you've read on-line.
Cheers 🧐

XH1 style body
XT4 internal spec
XT4 battery
Err...struggling now. I don’t need or want any more than the above.
Maybe a full-frame sensor that is a lowlight monster topping out at 20-24 mp max, but otherwise I’d by happy with that!

Ha, only yesterday morning out of lockdown boredom, I started to develop the germ of an idea to look at adapting old glass to a modern XT3.
I know it’s not a new concept, other than to me personally.
I have taken a good look at various modern manual focus adapted lenses, but they lack something for me.
But by the close of play yesterday, I’d ordered a Fotodiox adapter and discovered a Pentacon 50mm f1.8 which will be my starting point.
Point? Get back some of that less digital feel in camera without having to resort to LUTS and all that tweakery.
XT3 apsc crop losing some of that corner rubbish + Eterna profile. I’m hoping for some good things to at least keep me amused whilst we are where we are.
Intrigued by the FP though and would love to have a play, but no chance right now.
@Andrew Reid I know it’s a ´big question’ but how does the FP compare with the XT3?
Obviously one is ff and the other apsc and one does not have mechanical shutter, but would be interested (as I am sure many others would be) how these 2 stack up.

A 1 inch 4K camcorder is exactly what I use for wedding ceremonies and speeches. It isn’t intended in any way to be ‘cinematic’, rather just do that specific job, so I’m cool with hybrid camera time limits mostly shooting 10 second clips and the occasional 2-3 minute piece such as vows.
It’s a cheap option also. Bought it for about 1200 and this should have been it’s 4th season and it’s earned it’s keep to date at least 20x over.
So not so bothered about recording times but I can appreciate some are.
So if Fuji wish to ‘differentiate’ we need:
XH1 type body.
XT4 internals and battery.
ND and true anamorphic.
Interchangeable SSD of at least 500GB.
Build it and they will come, field of dreams baby!

Dear Fuji
If you are reading, please do make a dedicated video camera, but keep the XH2 as a hybrid.
Thanks
A lot of folks

I agree. Keep the X-H2 form factor. Just add the stuff obviously missing... ND for one. And anamorphic mode.

The X-H1 was nigh on perfect, Fuji should just put the X-T3 sensor & 10bit in it and get it out the door. I don't see the need for any complete re-imagining to be honest, although some sort of electronically variable ND glass over the sensor would be nice.

Amen...
I think some people don't get it though..they are posting hundrends of youtube videos for a few months now, and stil they do not get it..even after your post Andrew.

This is not the YouTube Video Digest
Can we cut down on threads where there are 3 or 4 youtube clips in every post?
How about making or OWN content rather than reposts?

I've heard that the Sony drug could only be used in arctic countries because it overheats in 5 minutes at moderate temperatures.

And the the Panasonic one was very good to kill the virus, but only in stationary cells (the drug could not focus the virus in moving ones).

Forgot to add my pic...
XT3 with Meike battery grip. I would prefer not to use a grip but it does transform the handling and triples the battery power and when shooting 4K...
Sirui freestanding monopod about 3 years old because I still can’t find anything better.
16-80mm f4 lens which is a bit slower than I’d ideally like (have some f2 primes if I need them) mainly for the range and OIS for handheld stuff.
It’s also got a Gobe variable ND on it that is controlled with a marked up rotating Nikon lens hood I glued on.
Good old Rode Micro for a better audio to sync to from up to 3x Sony pocket recorders and lav mics. Fluffy for outdoor use.
For dancing stuff at weddings it’s just a case of whip off the mic and put an LED on the hotshoe.
