Fuji Manager: “We are considering internal 4K F-Log recording for Fujifilm X-T2”

BEST X-T2 FIRST LOOK – MUST READ HERE

As you know, the Fujifilm X-T2 offers F-Log 4K recording, but only via HDMI output, and not internally. This has annoyed many X-shooters out there, who plan to purchase the X-T2 also for Video Work.

Good thing is, Fujifilm listens. So already the Fuji Guys said here, that a firmware update for internal F-Log recording is possible. Now we have another statement, this time of a Fujifilm Manager in a video interview about the X-T2 at cinema5d. Here is what he said:

“As this introduction of F-Log is a first for us, we decided to go for uncompressed 4:2:2 first, which gives us the highest picture quality.

This means F-Log is provided via the HDMI output. It is compressed when recorded in-camera, and recorded at 4:2:0, so at a lower quality than uncompressed. That’s why we decided to provide F-Log only via the HDMI output.

After listening to our users’ opinions, we would like to consider internal F-Log recording.”

Fujifilm Price increase is coming

The company will increase the prices on plenty of X-gear starting from the 1st September 2016 in Europe.

There will not be a price increase on the Fujifilm X-T2, because Fuji raised the original price just shorty before it’s announcement.

Brexit, Currency fluctiations and also the Kumamoto earthquake could be some of the reasons for this price increase. Thanks a lot to the FR-reader, who passed me the link to the top-foto page.

Fuji’s X-Trans Sensor :: Lightroom Vs. Iridient, Capture One & More!

Which RAW converter is the best for X-Trans Files? Well, this is a questions that needs to be investigated continuously, since every update can introduce improvements or new features. There will never be a final answer, but what is the state of art?

Adrian Evans (aka Stealthy Ninja – Interview here) wrote a comprehensive XF23mmF2 WR Review investigated this question and compared the following RAW converters: Lightroom CC 2015.6 Vs. Photo Ninja 64 1.3.4 Vs. Iridient Developer 3.1 Vs. RAW Therapee 4.2.1148 Vs. Capture One Pro 9.2 Vs. Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 7.0.6.0 VS. Jpeg from the camera

I invite you to go through the test (with lots of comparison samples) here at aevansphoto.

Here on FujiRumors I’ll just share Adrian’s final raking:

  1. Iridient (21 points)
  2. Lightroom (16 points)
  3. Photo Ninja (13 points)
  4. RAW Therapee (12 points)
  5. Jpeg (10 points)
