@MikeLinn posted this in the X-T2 thread - http://colorizer.net/

Seem like a good starting point. I'm suggesting a mini campaign to request the creation of a -2, -2, -4 Eterna LUT as well. Will by him a "coffee" for sure.

Interesting firmware updates for latest X-cameras, including X-H1 and X-T2: https://www.fujirumors.com/leaked-full-details-of-upcoming-firmware-udpates-first-images-of-gf-250mmf4-and-gf-1-4x-teleconverter/

Notable for the X-T2 - 120 slow motion, internal F-Log, other substantial updates, no Eterna! sad face on that last point

Yes, I've been desiring internal F-Log for my X-T2 but that disappeared when I saw the Eterna profile. I was hopeful that would come to the X-T2. I have hopes of the Eterna LUT... But in playing with F-Log from the X-H1, the bummer about the LUT is that it applies a REC 709 curve which crushes shadows far too much for my liking. I know I could dial back the LUT's application some percentage but then you are losing the color as well. I wish there was an Eterna LUT with a much milder curve. When grading, simply applying a curve to F-Log pushes blues to teal or purple (depending upon initial WB), i.e. more fiddly color correction (which is fine, if need be), whereas the LUT just nails the color with a click. But that curve...

I currently have an X-H1 which I am debating to return. (I actually grabbed that Adorama deal from earlier in the thread. Thanks @Vitaliy!) This is tough - trying to determine if it brings enough benefit.

I LOVE the shutter, the Eterna, relative ease of switch between photo and video, internal stabilization, quickly grabbing both photo/video with my Fuji lenses.

The body grip is GOOD but I'm very happy with the X-T2 plus external battery grip. Either work well for lenses such as Sigma's 18-35. The X-H1 plus battery grip does appear larger to subjects - it's more noticeable - than the X-T2 and that's a bummer for the lower-profile event shooting that I do. I like to blend for candids. I would likely shoot the X-H1 w/o the battery grip at such events. 

I am MEH on the performance of the internal stabilization. It is great to shoot stabilized footage with my 23 or 56, etc. But there is jumpiness that I don't care for and at wider angles, there at times appears to be a "warp stabilizer" effect that I really loathe - I think it happens with a slight change of pitch rather than pan or tilt motions. I have been spoiled with the lens stabilization of Canon's 17-55/2.8 on my C100mkII. I've just picked up Fringer's Smart Adapter and now I really like that lens on the X-T2. It's just large, doesn't go to 1.4, etc.

I DISLIKE the amount of additional aliasing I am seeing in the X-H1 footage. We all know about the 120 slow-mo but I see it in the 60p in circumstances where the X-T2 has none. Need to look more at the 24p in both HD and 4K to compare.

So the aliasing and the irregularities of the IBIS are tripping me up thoroughly. Now with this firmware update. Hmmm....

Firmware update Ver.1.01

1. In the EF (E-FRONT CURTAIN SHUTTER) setting, the warning of “TURN OFF THE CAMERA AND TURN ON AGAIN” could appear in rare cases when the FLICKER REDUCTION setting is ON.
2. Switching the CUSTOM setting can make the ISO AUTO setting return back to default when the ISO AUTO setting is changed.

In regards to the video posted by MikeLinn. I noticed this on my Fuji XT-2 when I compared the same exposure on my Nikon cameras. It is exactly off by 2/3 of a stop Fuji vs Nikon. Its annoying when I try to shoot with the Nikon and the Fuji under the same lighting conditions, and always have to remember to overexpose for the Fuji or under expose for the Nikon. This is only a problem when I use my light meter and try to get perfect exposure.

It doesn't surprise me that the A7III is better in lowlight. The problem at this particular point in time is that the Sony A7III brings way more to the table then the Fuji. Fuji also made a huge mistake by not increasing the battery size. This alone was a turn off for me. I shoot my Fuji XT2 with the grip only due to the ergonomics/battery life and don't want to carry around 3 extra batteries all the time. To be fair 3 batteries normally last me the whole day.

Here is my short quick take on the cameras:

Fuji = Better EVF, better skin tones straight out of camera with excellent film simulations.

Sony = Better sensor-full frame, better battery life, better autofocus, better buffer, better lowlight performance, better video features-full frame no crop or super 35, and with the soon to be released Sigma Art Lenses excellent lens selection as well.

The only thing the Fuji X-H1 has over the Sony A7III at this particular point and time is their film simulations. I like my Fuji XT-2 but comparing the Fuji X-H1/XT-2 against the Sony A7III? No comparison... Sony A7III all the way no questions asked. Now if the Fuji X-H1 with the battery grip was about $1500.00 then it would be something to consider looking at price point alone. However that is not the case and being that the battery life is dismal the battery grip is actually a neccesity with the Fuji X-H1/XT-2 camera. So the Fuji X-H1 will actually cost $2199 vs $1999 for the Sony A7III.

I am curious as to who would buy Fuji X-H1 over the Sony A7III?

I would buy the Sony A7III at this particular point and time.

What would you buy ???
