1-stop faster will undeniably be : ) When, though? In two years or so? Heavier can too, don't forget ; ) Right, different doesn't necessarily mean better... Or yet, enough for your AF needs. The whole of my wondering, actually. Indeed. Reason why my conjecture on the older f/1.4 vs the quicker AF f/2.0... Motors fast (sorry @DBounce LOL) enough. If so, why more speed in any way other than as strictly under stills shooting perspective, as matter of fact. Sound can justify a 2nd purchase later on; the extra cost may push you there now made from scratch.

I've seen your trinity purchase indeed, coupled to your 16mm f/1.4. This new X-T3 made me to actually switch from my X-H1 purchase plan. I'd rather include some other f/1.4 in-between anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCzdde0EjjY "Sold the 1.4 for the f2. Disapointed with f2 not sharp till f4...bought the 35mm f1.4 again." ~ Count Alucard (YT user on the YT comments section) 'Faster AF' not 'faster lens/glass'. I don't find this terminology confusing at all. Pretty accurate, actually : ) Call it quicker as you wish : -) To be quicker doesn't mean better though.

I believe 32 years after my 1st Panny purchase followed by others to count each decade after, must have some care by these suppliers. I just don't think they're going in the right direction on that (AF) one. Still customer, so demanding. I'm not even the typical AF shooter guy, go figure! : ) Others do, gimbals time. If not, I simply would not care about at all.

No, this can work for you, perhaps. But no every people enter in 'my dick is bigger than yours' argument or sorta alike : ) I am their client for three decades now. Without mention to have invested my OWN money and my partners' resources in their glass lineup. I am demanding more care on my own needs from them. As simple as that. Funny coincidence BTW: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panny https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Panny : -)

So, some other approach oblige, isn't it? Canon, Sony, Fuji have done it. When Panny...?! @webrunner5@jonpais Out of likes today.

I guess no matter the technique, the newer the faster : ) My fair point is to wonder on the practice for good enough outcome. As well, as far as focus transition smoothness concerns. Any experiences out there?

http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/xf_lens/roadmap/ To begin with. Anyone here has something to tell on 23mm f/1.4 vs faster AF f/2 WR models but at video end? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIBVrApLrNQ "I tested this (23mm f/1.4) in the shop on the X-E3. The AF was disappointingly slow and imo not usable in cases where you want to shoot moving objects like playing children eg.. I compared with the 23 mm f2 and that was snap fast! Would have liked the 1.4 though for its bokeh though..." ~ Raf Degrève on YT comments section What about along the new X-T3?

Right. Reason why people here want a hybrid tool to focus on video rather than the opposite. Still hybrid. It's all about that. Seems they are simply neglecting that. Jannard's DSMC, after all, but for affordable range and indies friendly without breaking the bank. No more no less.

Coming from an old brand user like you, this has its impact to the discussion. Speaks by itself. I believe what people want to see here is increasing tech specs (being more efficient autofocus for video, one of them) to be adopted instead. : -)

LOL No creation stands, everything is copy paste nowadays, quotes included with or without misquotes, I'd say ; -)

There's a popular adage in Brazil which ironically says some people love to have fun with someone else's dick. These announcements for six months later in time remind me that Brazilian saying. Go to shoot with your GH5/GH5S, a7III, X-T3 today or the upcoming (for very soon I hope) P4K and... that's it : ) Discuss the potentiality of your tool today. We never know how short life is. Let's stop with all that usual mantra or yet more nonsense. Digital tech already arrived to the world of pictures, mature in 2018, no excuses anymore : P c'mon why bother with other girls? Other than 4K 120fps or better AF for those who love Panny perhaps, your gal complies your standard (Trust me & mark my words, E : -)

Post in the wrong thread.

Organic stuff has no contender ; ) Cinematic outcome is soft, so... ; -) Mavic Pro 2 seems a wholly another league actually. Not necessarily to the tastes book of today where smartphones look rule over our heads (E : -)

From MY video: Any doubts? Sharpness is a bitch and a myth at same time. Long life to 4K softness... ; -)

C'mon, we are in 2018... there are no surprises anymore ; -)

Yeah, X-Trans IV seems a hit indeed.

LOL. No way, we've been agreeing recently more than ever : ) Thank you @wolf33d : -) No, I hadn't noticed it, actually. Maybe temporarily, because of demand, I guess. Or currency fluctuations, perhaps? Not to justify such difference but you know, they can take advantage from.

@wolf33d My fav post of yours : ) BTW one of you two, you or Robert, can you put your fly on a scale and tell me the accurate weight ready to fly, please? E : -)

If it is accurate to push the focus, it is already something. AF not at its best, but autofocus anyway. Pity to not track it, though.

Robert or any other Mavic Pro II buyer, can do me a favor and give me the exact weight as accurate and real one and not on the paper? I am interested to know if it is under 900g because of new EU regulations. Thanks (E : -)

Panny 12-35 f/2.8... Nice to know that outcome : -) And here's the BTS of the other one:
