No but it can shoot full frame HD as well as full frame stills. None of the cheap 4k/60p cameras can. It was just my suggestion on "why". Doesn't change the fact, rolling shutter in the EOS-R, a6300, NX1, etc, sucks no matter when it was released.

@Django nailed it. The M8 is a cheaper M9 without risk of corrosion. Unscrew the IR and voila, a pseudo Monochrome I never tried the Voigtlander 1.1 but I had the f1.5 and it was awesome. But.. like we talked about. That "magic" that some lenses have. The 7artisans has mojo and magic coming out its as...le :

Full Frame?

Yeah but let's not forget the a6300 which is way worse. Im not saying that makes it right, it doesn't. But we shouldn't let the others of the hook just because we found a fresher fish. EDIT: forgot about the NX1 (easily done these days ), equally bad or even worse.

I will look into that or something similar. 7artisans also have some great affordable glass. I had tons of fun with the 50mm f1.1 on my M8. Ive actually had the M9 and the M9 Monochrome but both times switched back to the M8

Same here. Easily my favorite Sony to date. The original A7 is also very fun. With the MF speedbooster I wanted to shoot. I shot some high ISO video with it yesterday, just to test its limits. For kicks I put on a cheap 22mm f1.8 from a Chinese brand I no longer remember the name of. And that actually sparked a little bit of "fun" feeling while using it. At work I can live with it just being perfect, but at home I want the other stuff as well. Ive decided to give it a chance and use it for some video work with adapted vintage and modern Chinese glass as well as ordered two native lenses so see if the confidence that brings also makes me wanting to use it more. Could be interesting to have both the X-H1 and the EOS-R for a while and see if what happens. My feeling exactly with the 6Dmkii. The output isnt perfect but it is very pleasing, warm and pleasing. M8 as well imo.

Nothing silly about it at all. It might be the case for sure. Maybe that's why I enjoy the X-Pro2 so much more. Not having everything served for me, having to walk at least a littlee bit of the mile on my own

I guess its the Kubrick or in my case Tarantino inside me that really is trying to like the X-H1. I would love to just stick with it. As a tool it easily ticks all the boxes. Specially with thr speedbooster. But Im missing that thing that makes me want to create with, not just get from A to B.

OT, I love the way the Viltrox let's you correct the focus. Such nicely implemented as well.

The x100 is fun to use for sure. Strangely enough I enjoy using DSLRs for casual shooting, a lot. And they of course are great tools as well. Maybe thats why my X-H1 has become a bit of a stepchild in my lineup

Don't know if this post has a point or of its just a bit of G.A.S venting. One thing bothering me about the X-H1 is the fun factor. Normally I enjoy shooting with Fuji cameras and I like the output. The video out of the X-H1 is absolutely stellar. F-Log can be a bit difficult to grade compared to c-log or bmd-film imo. But when you get the hang of it it is very sweet indeed. My way of getting the most out it is to, unlike the other LOGs, hold back a little on the ETTR. Exposing down a tad seems to inject some color magic into the image. The stills are as lovely as ever. Zero complaints. What keeps me from using it is like I said the fun factor. I dont know why but I always grab for example my G85 instead. The X-H1 feels a bit to utilitarian. It might be because I currently no longer own any native glass so Im not feeling 100% confident that I will get the shot. Or its just to similar to the X-T2 which I didn't care for compared to the X-Pro2. Then again, my G85 isn't anything like the xpro2 and I enjoy that a lot. Anyone else with the camera that feels a similar way? Im thinking about buying the 90mm for it and use it on a gig or two just to give it a fair try. So far its only been used as a slowmo b-cam for my 6Dmkii when doing video gigs.

Disclaimer: I dont like or want rolling shutter. I love the motion from the videos I shot with the global shuttered D16 and BMPC4K. A fun fact I've told many times before, still applies so here it goes again One of the top, if not number one, TV shows in Sweden is a game show called "On the track" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/På_spåret). Its a quite difficult show with questions about everything from food to sports in different geographical locations. Its been going on since 1987 with an average of 2 million viewers and a peak of 3.7 million. In 1990 when the record was set that accounted for 43% of the population. Remove those to young and/or to old and we get pretty much everybody. Three times every show we get to watch an up speed train ride and the camera is filming from within the train. It goes on until the contenders guess where the train is heading. So every week 2 000 000 people watch bent poles, crooked houses and leaning towers, for at least ten episodes per year. Never ever ever ever, not once, nope nope nope, no no not a single time have I or anybody I know ever heard anyone point it out or simply said "have you noticed the bent poles?" Camera nerds like us of course see it but no one else cares even a little bit. My point is, if a camera ticks all your boxes but has a flaw like aliasing, RS or a bit of noise in the shadows. Then maybe its still good enough for your audience. Imo it I rather have a camera I like with a bit of noise in the shadows than a camera I dont enjoy.

Even if I keep my crop camera thats $1-2k cheaper than the FF it still will cost me more if I want to replace my four lenses.

The banding thing in stills is a bit exaggerated imo. The 6Dmkii got the same criticism but in real life its not an issue. I push 2-4 stops in sunset without any issues. Its just a matter of getting to know the camera.

I currently have three kits under evaluation. A full frame, an APS-C and m4/3. One thing I keep coming back to is how expensive crop sensor lenses are. FF really is a money saver due to years and years of lenses on the used market.

Good write up!

All BMD cameras have it. One of the best peakings as well. At lest imo.

Adobe have now added support for the raw files in Lightroom.

Raw files now supported by Lightroom. https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

No-one does them as in depth as Maarten. Also, Adobe is now supporting the camera. https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

The SL is dropping all the time and I sure will jump on it as soon as there are some new affordable lenses.

Good stuff from both of you. Definitely agree on the lens shape. The Fuji WRs as fantastic as they are, aren't exactly lookers

Footage looks nice imo.

Awesome, thanks!

DId I just dream it or does the X-H1 have a setting for linear manual focus? Cant find it in my camera but since I dont have any native glass it might not be showing.
