TrueIndigo Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 In this DPreview interview with two Fujifilm executives, they say in the new line-up of their mirrorless cameras the video quality has been improved (their unique X-Trans filter was harder to read out than the usual Bayer pattern, and this problem has been helped by a faster sensor/processor). Would be interesting to see just how good (and characterful) this 36 Mbps H.264 1080p video quality now is. The earlier cameras allowed you to use the attractive film emulation picture styles for video shooting, though it was a bit academic because of the moire. Maybe the new cameras are credible now? http://***URL removed***/interviews/6258617860/fujifilm-interview-jan-2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil A Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'd love if they could do a clean 1080p picture now. But to be honest if it would be on a competitive level I think they would have marketed it in a more aggressive way. Still will have an eye on possible tests.

Don Kotlos Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Dpreview has either set the bar too low, or received a generous amount of money for saying that. Camera store has a sample.Apparently they reviewed x-pro2 video capabilities as much time as it took Fuji engineers to develop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Photographer Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I don't think Fujifilm is even trying to compete with the likes of Panasonic or Sony who lead the convergence race. But I'd like to see them compete with other manufacturers whose express aim is produce stills cameras with additional video functionality, for example, Olympus/ Nikon etc. Certainly before the X-Pro 2, Fuji's issue with moire and rolling shutter put them firmly at the bottom of the heap. I hope that now they have moved into the 'average' or 'useable' category with the addition of the X-Pro 2 to their line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Kotlos Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 OK maybe I was a bit to harsh before and dpreview had a point. It indeed looks a bit better than the older xtrans sensor, but then again not a camera that should be used for video unless absolutely necessary.

fuzzynormal Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 just like with Canon ;-)Indeed. Happy accidents.I love the fuji cams for stills and just get so frustrated that their cameras I have on my shelf are pretty average for video.
