If they make a camera too good, everybody would buy it and not get a new one for 10 years and they would go bankrupt

[@MTKnockOut]

This is the answer across the board All ceos got together for rich people crime pass times and discussed ensuring no one makes a good camera, and the market is to be drawn out for 30 years until phones are superior for value

[@SMGJohn]

Its like that story of the East German fridge company who made fridges of the same standard they always did during the unification days, and everyone bought their fridges, best selling fridges that existed in the 90s, but then sales dropped, why? Because these fridges were too good, they lasted forever and the company went bankrupt in early 2000s.

My camera has that “Witnesses Protection Program” mode and it can’t be turned off.

[@premiumaccount4433]

The AF doesn’t work when you’re stakeboardibg backwards!

[@NickErickson]

If Fuji spent their Instax money on their software department they would be the absolute best APSC format manufacturer and a no brainer for most people. But they don't. The software department is where they cheap out. It's really easy to see that they need stronger development in Autofocus, but recently switching from the X-S20 to the Nikon Zf has shown me it's more than just autofocus algorithms and software. It encompasses so much more. Like all the little bonus features and customization of how the camera can work for you just isn't there. They are quite lacking. Also - Nikon in camera RAW processing > Fuji. Fuji can't even show you the preview of the final JPEG in real time as you are changing settings.

[@josecolon8143]

😂😂😂😂

[@socialbender]

I shot fuji for years , I think the xt5 af was the worse of all of them ; single point was pretty reliable for actual photography if somebody was picking grapes off a vine or something . I recently dropped Fuji and grabbed the zf brick and man it’s the jam clam from Shabam. I love it and the af is really reliable .

[@FGGiskard]

I’m tempted but Lens selection, dials usability and ergonomics are keeping me away from it. I’m shortlisting xt5, xh2, a7cii i think

[@socialbender]

@ I guess it really depends on what your are shooting , the a7cii will smoke all of the Fuji’s in performance but you will be stuck with 1/4000 max mechanical shutter speed which imo blows door knobs . I have 2 Sony a7iv’s for work . The zf is my hobby camera . I would never shoot Fuji for work unless I was taking pictures of grandpas with hemorrhoids running on a beach .

[@FGGiskard]

@@socialbender I’m not planning on shooting any sports or fast action stuff I imagine that would be the main problem with the 1/4000 shutter speed? The a7iv may go on the list but I may wait until a7V is released to get extra discount 😅 Since I’m amateur Im not super worried about AF stuff, and don’t really intend on shooting video a lot. The main consideration for me might be low light and dynamic range. But my main considerations are about editing a lot or not and future proofing of the system. As I said, XF definitely tempting but I’m doubtful about the system. In your opinion is it worth it? Dials usability is good enough?

[@socialbender]

@ well the issue with 1/4000 mechanical is that if you are using fast glass in bright conditions you are gonna have to either use an nd or use the electronic shutter which imo I’m not a fan of . I have no problems with the dials but I run it in auto iso most of the time . If you want the best lowlight performer just buy a used mark 1 r6 .

[@JakeChambersOy]

I'm ded 😂🥲💀 Looking forward to the next X-T5 firmware that will improve absolutely nothing compared to v2.10 which I'm on right now.

[@meyou58]

Fuji execs just don't listen to their camera customers about autofocus and get to the heart of the issue. Still waiting on a X-T5 firmware improvement!

[@mikefoster6018]

I don't know why I'm bothering to wait for the firmware 'upgrade' to come to my X-T5. Unless Fuji pleasantly surprises me quickly, I might be selling my camera and five lenses.

[@plagueofkoalas]

I even downgraded my XT5 to version 2.10, it's much better (as soon as you downgrade, you can tell how bad the latest firmware is) but it's just back to the previous "OK-ish" Fuji AF. If you shoot video....there's no reason to use Fuji at all. Stills it's fine...on downgraded firmware.

[@davidroseborough]

I ended up selling all my fuji gear.

[@Ramiel77]

I am on the same boat. Been shooting Fuji for 10+ years (as a hobby) but lately, I've noticed some times half my shots are out of focus. It has become incredibly annoying. I am down to two bodies (X-T5 and X100VI) and just 2 lenses (16-55 Mk2 and 18 f1.4). I sold all my other lenses and bought a Sony A7cii to dip my toes in that water first, before deciding weather or not I will be completely moving away from Fuji. It honestly brakes my heart lol

[@staticvideo]

@@Ramiel77I recently got to work wirh a a7c briefly. Man, oh man, the AF was something else. Even with adapted lenses. Never thought I was going to think of AF as needed in my work until then. And I could use my Focus Pro with all my cameras but it’s not really worth all the setup and rigging. I hope my Fuji gets to have a decent update so I don’t have to worry about it as much.

[@JakeChambersOy]

​@@plagueofkoalas Same here on v2.10 as each update was a downgrade so far. As far as it looks judging from the latest X-H2s update, we can be happy if the upcoming firmware will at least be on par with v2.10 for stills.

[@wildlifeandnaturebydtb]

Last year, when I was using a Fujifilm X-H2, I had no problem photographing birds and wildlife, but AF was noticeably unreliable for moving subjects in video. I switched to a Nikon Z8 earlier this year and it has much better video AF, but is similar for stills...

[@L5Nlcommunicatie-design]

I’m happy with my X-T4. It doesn’t show the AF problems as you showed. It’s not perfect but much more accurate. Still I hope the AF issues will be solved and more than that. Fujifilm show us your program for fixing the AF issues for every camera on the line. DO IT.

[@mooksdfe]

Maybe the Fuj just needed some extra warmth for its AF to work properly. And not just the warmth from your heart, I mean, the opposite of active cooling. It's cold outside after all. It worked inside. Give it a shot, some sort of heating enclosure for the street. Maybe there's some face recognition like Sony has in their firmware, and you could add a couple random faces, so it's trying to focus on them instead of on everything else and stays focused for longer.

[@cy9nvs]

Fuji is like "Man, look at those buildings, this is art, so beautiful" Maybe ditch the street photography and do architecture?

[@Raist3db]

I am finding so far the X-M5 to be reasonable but I am still getting a handle of the misses vs the hits to get a more grounded assessment. Note that I am doing stills, not video. So far if I use video and I am trying to do something in-house (just as a quick test) it seems to do well, I need to give it a swipe at doing wha you did of walking and having people passing by to see what happens. Will try that in the next couple of days.

[@SummersSnaps]

The problem with the 7.1 f/w is that it is hopeless with multiple people in the frame, just like you are proving with your street stuff. All the YT reviews that have it hailed as being better are always from a case use of a single person in the frame. I have done several professional jobs now with 2x XH2S's running 7.1 (Stills and Video) and it is possibly the worst f/w of all of them when it comes to multiple people in the frame, it has no rhyme or reason as to who gets selected, no way to make it stick on that person, it constantly jumps to other people and then no people at all. 5.03 was better at reigning in the subject detection features and having the AF just chill out more... what a mess..

lol the guy drinking nos isn't actually drinking nos. nos is basically an air mixture that gives more power to the engine of a car, so I'm guessing he was a car guy, and he had something else in the bottle

[@its_Freebs]

I have personal experience with NOS during 4am architecture model making sessions. It's basically 9 redbulls in a bigger can. Two in one day can seriously mess with your resting heart rate (in that it won't rest)

[@BryceShamwow]

I think there's an actual energy drink with that name, though, intentionally named to evoke the extra power that nitrous oxide can give an engine (if it doesn't blow it up).

sooooo, you fianlly experienced the F.A.S.P.S. ….the ’Fuji anti stalker protection system‘… 😂 turns out measures like this are necessary 😉

[@charliebucket-u7h]

18mm 1.4 LMwr.. stunning lense not to be missed. Just watch christoper frost on it.. In hd240, best option is to stop down and Manual focus. Because hd240 recording mode is not full af performance. The lense you choose effects colors also. For sure, you can get what you need with fuji. If your a good camera operator, you will, for sure, get all the shots you need. Pretty much first time aswell.. Relying, all the time, for all scenarios, on totally automatic face af will be disheartening, and it wont perform as well as an operator using it properly. The xh2s needs a good operator, who knows the camera inside out. If you can manage that, the xh2s, will beat any sony camera, nearly everytime, for the footage that it produces.

[@cameraconspiracies]

Your solution is to manually focus on people while they walk towards you? I'm sure those shots will turn out great as you stare at your screen, they won't notice at all.

[@charliebucket-u7h]

@cameraconspiracies no. Single point and continuous. Face detect off. Is the way for moving subjects to camera with busy scenes ( backgrounds and multiple human subjects crossing frame. But yes for your case scenario it's not easy if your trying to be incognito by not looking at your screen. However that is not very incognito is it.when in all your footage everybody is looking into your camera lense . I don't know why. Isn't it totally legal in Canada to film who you want in public.m

[@lintentiondelefaire4082]

Are you not using the face recognition focus feature? Continuous + aggressive mode? Show and tell your setup when you need to hit these guys, so we understand if it's you or them. I'm not saying it's your bad, just need to know to validate your findings. I like to listen, but need some clarification. Nice show!

[@cameraconspiracies]

Of course I'm using face detect...

[@lintentiondelefaire4082]

@cameraconspiracies I'm amazed! Don't they all go to the right university to learn about the best algorithms for focusing? Mistaking a wall for a face is kind of amazing in a weird way. That really aligns with the title of your show.

It would be killer if we could see the Fuji Assassin take on the Canon Cripple Hammer, fighting the Panasonic Pony and the Nikon….whatever Casey calls that particular mascot (I think it’s a Chimpanzee) in a grudge match to end all grudge matches.

[@ShadesOClarity]

Heh. I think the Cripple Hammer would pound them all into mulch simply because it has no blood supply. Its weakness is being desaturated. Maybe one of the other mascots holds the key to that vulnerability.

This happens not only in video, I do 95% stills and my X-S20 always refuses to focus the main subject, it's a background-focus-master-of-the-universe. (in AFC)

[@Sky-ne5gn]

Today (12.19.2024) there is a new firmware for the x-s20 - Version: 3.10 The firmware update Ver.3.10 from Ver.3.00 incorporates the following issue: The AF algorithm has been partially revised to improve focusing accuracy and subject tracking performance.

[@ramonarias1234]

I know, just hope they don't make it worse. I was waiting for some reviews before installing.. thanks!​@@Sky-ne5gn

[@Sky-ne5gn]

@@ramonarias1234 I have updated the firmware. Everything is fine. They fixed the subject tracking performance (the object remains in focus if another object temporarily blocks the view). And the autofocus itself has become good. Update the firmware, don't be afraid.

It's such a cheap lens I'm sure it would be worth picking up and cranking out a video for.
