A firmware update is already available. http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/firmware/x/xt3/index.html

Andrew, we look forward to your teardown on Friday! ?

Maybe I got confused in trying to keep up with ridiculous posts asking people if they're going to return a camera they don't yet have for an imaginary camera that might, maybe, have a feature. As others here pointed out earlier. Do you think you'll return that future Sony cam for the rumored to be rumored X-H3?

Yeah, the rest is already in the existing models, so the only new feature, "confirmed by trusted sources" as you say, is the "maybe 10 bit 4:2:2", which isn't rumored anywhere I've seen other than your post. So you are the trusted source? Got it.

Really, all those specs have been confirmed? I read sonyalpharumors.com all the time and I haven't seen those specs. Plus Sony's ibis is still pretty awful for video so that shouldn't count.

You have a point, but in fairness, there has been a strange amount of NX1 comparisons on this particular thread for some reason, and most of them have been a little righteous. Not sure why the NX1, of all cameras, keeps being compared to this one. Is it the h265?

On the flip side, Fuji is def the best at improving their carmeras via firmware, something the rest of the pack (minus Panasonic I guess) never do, especially Sony. Can the A7's handle multiple faces at once?

Maybe I'm jaded, nothing about any of these videos wows me, and they all look like they could've been from an A7III, an X-T3 or the NX1.

400mbps ALL-I is a big improvement over NX1, no? And how are the ergonomics of the X-H1 better than this or the X-T2, pretty much the same aren't they?

I'll be amazed if it has 10bit h265

But the IBIS of the X-H1 was sooo bad for video. Great for stills, but it was jerky as hell if you planned the camera at all while shooting video. I suppose its safe to assume it will be improved for the next camera.

What is this based on, how many clips from the X-T3 are even out there at this point, like three or four total? What is it about the NX1 that you think wins? The colors? I'm asking genuinely, I've never owned one. Pretty much every post you've ever posted on this site is you singing the praises of Samsung and poo pooing pretty much everything else.

That's crazy expensive, more than I'm paying for the camera with the kit lens.

this is the only footage I've found online that appears to be straight out of the camera, 10 bit h265 F-Log; not the funnest to grade, but its downloadable on Vimeo-

Yeah, this "original ungraded version" that Behiri posted is post-Premiere edited footage, exported as h264. Its not the original 10-bit h265 footage (if he even shot it that way) that came out of the camera.

This camera should flop anyway. I cancelled my pre-order the other day to go with the X-T3. A lot has changed since the original pcoket cam came out, the magic of raw doesn't quite hold up these days. I even went and repurchased my old pocket cam a few weeks ago at the same time that I also purchased a used EOSM for the purpose of shooting raw on it with Magic Lantern- I ended up returning the pocket cam and keeping the EOSM because even at $160 it was a better raw shooter than the BM.

Seems like they might not be doing it anymore? I, sadly, don't have a Mark III, but I just recently bought an EOS M for $160 so I could do uncropped 1736x1120 ML raw video, and I'm loving it. #Notspoiledhere

Yes, same here! I keep checking their website in hopes of seeing something.

I love Andrew's posts, but wasn't he just recently bemoaning rumors sites that leak info??

As I'm reading more, I'm hearing that chroma smoothing, while getting rid of focus pixels, degrades the image- is this true? If so, I guess the MLV app may be a better way to go.

I guess they were focus pixels, it was a clear pattern in the center- I didn't realize focus pixels we're a thing. And yes, MLV app fixed it automatically, but MLVFS is such a quicker process, even with the Chroma smoothing turned on, so I think I will stick with that. MLVFS seems to work fine with lossless DNG's on the Mac side, and it's as easy as a mouse click (no cmd prompt or terminal needed).

Thanks @Alpicat. For the first few tests I used MLV app to decode the MLV files to DNG, then brought into Resolve 15 for editing and CC. On that last test, I finally got MLVFS to work on my Mac (still no luck on Windows side, just pink DNG's), and after a few strange renders (realized I had to set Chroma smoothing to 2x2 in MLVFS to get rid of some weird patterns that were showing up) I brought those DNG's into Resolve- MLVFS workflow is a great timesaver.

One more using the mv1080 mode, 1736x1120 14bit raw My color grading skills dont do any of this justice.

Here are my tests from the past day with 1736x1120 resolution. https://vimeo.com/286711725 https://vimeo.com/286711914 Using a $30 toy c-mount lens (can't figure out how to embed...)
