![]() Ultimately, he needs to do what makes him happy. It might appear better at stopping weird color fringing and aliasing when shooting black and white charts, but that is about it. It is silly to expect the crop sensor to be as good as those cameras. People keep trying to compare the X-T2 to a D750, D800, D810, etc. I don't want to be mean or rude but I genuinely feel like the real issue at hand is the OP's standards and requirements for a camera. I think it is a very valid response to this post. Being able to saturate the sensor w/o clipping the highlights provides the best return with regard to noise/grain. I found the most useful asset in-camera to insure getting the best S/N results is the histogram. My A7r2 would do much better with these exposures, but then again when I hear myself think that after a few moments I ask myself, "What's wrong with these?" As long as I'm not zooming in to check at a ridiculous magnification, the answer is "nothing!".Īt this point I'm not sure if this is still a response to your query, or a rationalization for myself. I still hold the Sony for what it's better at accomplishing, though. Until I feel I've come to completely familiar with the ins/outs of the X-T2 I'm not using the Sony, as comparisons are unfair. But I'm looking to make compelling images with a camera I look forward to picking up for all but the most challenging of objectives, and the more familiar I get the better the experience has been. If my objective was to replace one system for the other the Fuji would lose out after 4 weeks with it. ![]() While I know exactly what to expect from the Sony and different levels of light and the ISO range, I'm still fleshing out that understanding with the Fuji. I'm still straddling the JPG v RAW output thing, getting decent JPGs OOC but more oft than not still returning to the RAW. And for finest results a different workflow is called for. Peeping while developing or inspecting is to insure IQ doesn't get stomped on, but then I have to back off to better appreciate how the image will stand up to normal close up scrutiny (one hopes an image will be compelling enough to have someone linger and possibly lean in to examine closer). But it has me take a different perspective on IQ, and acceptance of the noise/grain quality in the gist of the overall image. Yet, sort of like looking over different adapted lenses for their 'character' and build features, there's a lot to like with the Fuji. This is my first Fuji (X-T2), and coming from a 42mp Sony I question my sanity. I'd imagine that has a lot to do with it. If interested, I may make a post on the setup. Its huge and slightly cumbersome, but its very accurate. I almost got Roboshoot, but with the exchange rate (I live in Canada), I gave this a shot based on price. I have a few days left with the camera before I can exchange/refund.Īlso, just a side note, I am successfully using my Nikon SB700 with TTL/HSS, using a Cactus V6II. Thanks for reading, and looking forward to hearing any input. The 18-55 got great reviews, and maybe my expectations have been set too high. ![]() Also could be that most pictures taken on my XT2, I don't find them to be as sharp as I have hoped. Looking back on my old images on the Fuji XT1, I find those images to be sharper and cleaner. Maybe I am too used to pixel peeping, thanks to using a 36MP monster previously, I don't know. ISO 200/18MM/f22/1/60sec/IOS On (edited in LR to taste) These are some better shots that I am happy with the Fuji output: With better lighting, noise does seem to clean up. All camera settings are default, as in noise reduction set to zero. Please feel free to download and let me know your thoughts. Lightroom CC is being used for raf files. I'm just wondering if this is the expected noise output for Fuji JPGs? Even shooting raf, I cant seem to smooth out the noise. I've also noticed soft images on a tripod with IOS on, which is apparently a well known issue. This set up feels like a cheetah compared to my old clunky Nikon.Īnyways, it's been 13 days with my new set up and I have been noticing large amount of noise at ISO 200 and greater. Great little combo, and blazingly fast AF. Loved the setup, but decided to sell them both when I seen the Fuji sale on. ![]() Great set up, felt like a small child hanging off my neck, and looked like a donkey at family events. My last set up was a Nikon D800 with 24-70 f2.8G. I have had a multitude of camera gear through the years, from FF Canon, Sony, to Nikon, and I keep going back to Fuji. First post on DPReview, so bear with me, and be nice to the newbie.
