Fuji calls APS to FF "marginal difference" and "pointless"

So they jumped to medium format. https://www.dpreview.com/interviews/...film-interview Probably because there are Pro FF shooters having this sort of experience: http://petapixel.com/2016/10/04/sold-nikon-d5-fujifilm-x-t2/ -- Regards, Savageduck |

Would that offer a lot over MFT, especially considering all the extra weight and bulk? Having used both APS-C and MFT I'd have said there wasn't a great loss in the smaller format, but a worthwhile gain in size etc. Both Panasonic and Olympus offer IBIS. -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

Some extra pixels/dynamic range/SNR (whatsoever) due to the larger sensor, at the expense of larger and heavier lenses. The new E-M1 Mark II looks pretty competivive however. From a system perspective it's superior to the new Sony A6500 because of the limited Sony lens range. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

For me, they were not, but others will have different criteria, of course. The E-M1 Mark II does look good, although (and please don't laugh) for me needs I would somewhat prefer a built-in flash. Does it have GPS? -- Cheers, David Web: http://www.satsignal.eu |

Yes, I also would like to have an in-built flash (but I heard there it comes with a small flash you can carry with you). And no, it does not have GPS (sigh). I don't know of any new body from any manufacturer which has GPS. The Sony A55 and A65 had GPS, but then Sony took it out from the successor models. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

IBIS is just one solution, and Fuji, like Nikon and Canon provide IS/VR/OS in lenses which are likely to benefit from it. Do you mean to say that you are so shakey that you cannot hold a camera steady for a shot with a fast wide lens? If not that is sad, especially if you are going to narrow your equipment choices based on that single factor. -- Regards, Savageduck |

IBIS is just one solution, and Fuji, like Nikon and Canon provide IS/VR/OS in lenses which are likely to benefit from it. For those of us with very good vintage lenses, IBIS is the best solution. Since IBIS doesn't appear to add significant body weight, it may be the best all-around solution because it accommodates lighter lenses. -- Best regards, Neil |

As I said, it is foolish to base one's choice of equipment on a single factor such as IBIS, thereby excluding some excellent options. BTW: IBIS or not, mount convertors are available for most MILCs, so not having IBIS does not exclude using those vintage lenses. Just pretend you are using them as they were originally intended when you were shooting in an analog photoworld, and didn't shake as much as you do now. -- Regards, Savageduck |

As I said, it is foolish to base one's choice of equipment on a single factor such as IBIS, thereby excluding some excellent options. Since we mostly stick to our brand/platform and accumulate such lenses... As I have several very expensive lenses for the Minolta (now Sony) system, the advent of stabilization (Minolta-Konica period) in camera was a definite benefit. While (at that time) not as effective as IS/VR in lens, it has come a long way in the meantime to the point that the differences at the stabilization performance level are getting to be negligible. One might argue that having one system (in camera) is a more cost effective solution than having it in all lenses. It definitely is for those of us not about to replace our holy-trinities and other high priced lenses. Adaptors don't work in all cases or fully integrate either. Where the body flange/film plane distance is too far for the given lens, you are screwed. -- She hummed to herself because she was an unrivaled botcher of lyrics. -Nick (Gone Girl), Gillian Flynn. |
