Silly how?

@@stalman This is comparing a Jeep to a Ferrari. Why compare them? Besides the decent but unremarkable Fuji lens, the "fun" thing is the simulated emulsions. [The lens doesn't resolve to the new sensor's capabilities (Same issues with XT-5 lenses); it is basically unchanged from the 100 V] They are fun if you want to wait a full second after each shot for them to write out to a card (yes, a fast card) and the only why to toy with them to get faster write speeds is to turn the "Clarity" setting to "0". This was true of my X-Pro 3 as well. Anyway, my new one with only 80 frames shot on it will be on eBay tomorrow at my list price + the eBay commission they charge added on. I hate the scalpers. PS: I am not a Leica fan boi. Those people are truly fanatical. PS: This describes the simulation delay and what to do to compromise to make it work (from Chat GPT 4.0) When using different film simulations with the Fuji X100 VI, you can still encounter long write-to-card storage delays. Here are some tips specific to managing film simulations to help reduce these delays: Use High-Speed SD Cards: As mentioned earlier, use high-speed SD cards, preferably UHS-II or at least UHS-I with high write speeds (V30, V60, or V90). Optimize Film Simulation Settings: Some film simulations might generate larger file sizes due to additional processing. Try experimenting with different film simulations to see if certain ones result in shorter write times. Use Smaller Image Sizes: If the delay is still an issue, consider reducing the image size or quality settings slightly. Even within film simulations, this can help manage file sizes and write times. Avoid RAW+JPEG: Shooting in RAW+JPEG with film simulations can significantly increase file sizes. Consider shooting in JPEG only if you want to utilize film simulations and reduce write times. Adjust In-Camera Processing: Reduce the level of in-camera processing for things like noise reduction, sharpness, and color adjustments. Lower processing settings can reduce the overall time it takes to write the file to the card. Use the Camera’s Continuous Low Mode: If you need to use burst shooting, try using the camera’s continuous low mode instead of high mode to manage the buffer more effectively. Custom Settings: Save custom settings for film simulations you use often. This can streamline the camera's processing, as it doesn't have to adjust settings from scratch each time you switch simulations. Batch Processing: If the delays are due to post-processing in-camera, consider taking photos without simulations and applying the simulations afterward in software like Fuji’s RAW File Converter, Lightroom, or Capture One. Implementing these strategies should help manage and reduce the write-to-card storage delays when using different film simulations on your Fuji X100 VI.

I wish Lumix had been confident enough to make a proper Q3 competitor

You can get the same results so choose the tool that makes sense to you

🤨

Kino just launched for 1 touch lut on the phone But if full frame cameras also look very different than phone

Yes they are universal standard file formats

You can’t even put a lens cap on it

I would basically use Sigma when the Lumix lenses isn't small enough, so the 17mm, 24mm and maybe 35mm seem great. But I haven't used them outside a store yet

But I did just compare them 😁

I’m still hoping for the X-Pro3

A family member just today told me the plan to buy an older m43 Lumix, I wish they had a newer option

@@stalman I Wouldn't blame that person weather just want to learn or have something to have fun that doesn't cost a lot and plenty of capabilities and one of the easiest for the user interfaces since ages. I hope that family member of your have a good time with it!

Definitely nano, but the price is steep

Yeah I think some people are hoping for drama that just isn't there

Probably because most KZbinrs are shilling this camera like it’s the best new tech ever released…

I’m pretty the Panasonic team can read as well as you can

Thanks! Yeah im all over the place right now, C70 for my talking heads in studio, S5II for B-roll and travel photos, R5 for photo work, and Q3 for fun. If Lumix can fill out their lineup I am tempted to switch, but also heard rumors that Canon is about to blow us all away We’ll see

@@stalman thanks for the clarification ! I heard your experience on the podcast with the Q3 recently, it sounds like a fun body but out of my budget for now 😄 yes I’m really anxious to see Canon land something cool, especially with the Cinema line getting so stale. But I’d also love to see Panasonic land a major S/S1H upgrade …. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤞🏼
