There is obviously never anything wrong with resolution increase so long as it's engineered to the other properties aren't being compromised.

The difference between my two K5's (16MPix) and my K3 (24MPix) is negligible in practical use.
To begin with I though it would be noticeable, but it really isn't.
By comparison my Q7 (12MPix) is a noticeably smaller image. A difference that really is noticeable. That said the Q7's sensor isn't as good, and the only time I notice the diff between 16 and 24 is when doing serious crops .. like smaller than 50% of the original image...so rarely.
But I imagine if I was going for an end product that was even remotely large, like A4+ prints or something, then it would be more of a gripe.

>sincerely, a canonfag
you got a monitor that is capable of showing these at 100% without having to zoom in?
do you print at sizes at which a resolution of more than 16mp is necessary?
both answered with no? - you're a pixelpeeper more interested in gear than in taking photos.
>>
>>2744886
He doesn't necessary have to zoom in or crop. He can just super sample the resolution downwards as needed.
At the en of the day it's the superior image quality that matters. If the 16Mp sensor is never generation than the 24 and produce better image, then so be it, but if the 24 Mp is the never sensor with all the advancements, then give it the credit is deserves.

a hammer?
I understand what you mean, but my personal opinion is that a camera is just a tool, hence the hammer reference.
Usually I don't pixelpeep and take photos for either showing them on a monitor or (preferred:) printing. For these purposes 16mp are more than enough.

All the more reason for you to appreciate the supersampling capability.

More gear faggotry by pixelpeepers that will never use a camera to take a decent photograph in their life.

You are not a photographer if all you do is stare at 100% crops of test shots of cats fucktards. You may as well sell your gear and fuck off to reddit and argue about PC vs consoles all day like the gear fags you are.
>>
>>2744983
Super sampling images is the opposite of pixel peeping.
When you know you only need a certain resolution, it's good to have highest possible quality, then down sample from there.
>>
>>2744877
I'm way more excited about the AF improvements and weather sealing than I am a minor increase in resolution, but considering that it's competing against other APS-C cameras with 24mp sensors, I understand why they went with the increase.
>>
>>2744877
It has everything I ever wanted on my xpro1 and a bit more. The increased megapickles on the pro2 is pretty much the least exciting feature. I placed my order as soon as it became available earlier today at my local photo shop.

This will be my fourth and probably final Fuji camera unless they go medium format.

>"16MP is absolutely enough and everything beyond that is useless and stupid" - fujifags
Fuji people haven't really said this. They in stead, have said "16mp is enough for what I'm doing, so I don't really mind that it's not 24"

I'm sure there are a few exceptions, but most people don't actually think this way (other than Canon shooters of course)

I've got my pre-order in. the 24mp bump will be nice I guess, but I'm more excited for the faster x-sync speed, 1/8000 mechanical shutter, weather sealing, EVF, AF improvements. I'd still be perfectly happy buying it at 16mp.
>>
Fuck want it so bad. Someone buy my X-T1.
>>
>>2745026
A lot of people did say this though, from a variety of camps. I remember a fair share of these comments when the Nikon not only released the D800, but then proceeded to start making all their entry level (3xxx, 5xxx, 7xxx) cameras have 24 MP instead of 16 or 18. The arguments usually involved points like
>16 is more than enough, you shouldn't have to crop anyways and if you do, you're a lousy photographer
>36 MP is so much that most computers can't even handle it

The first point was some appeal to being a "pro", or being a really good photographer who got special achievements and awards because he doesn't crop. Pretty silly looking back on it, since I used to care a lot about that too.

The second point was almost legit but was proved patently false. I saw little to no difference in processing time in Camera Raw, Lightroom or Photoshop going from a 16 MP D5100 to a 36 MP D7000.


Oh and let's not forget an acquaintance of mine, who was trying to sell me his D3000 while I was looking for my first D-SLR. He had pushed particularly hard for the "megapixels don't matter" argument.
>>

What are you even doing dude? Are you actually upset about this? Are you stupid enough to think that every Fuji user thinks this way? Look through this very thread to see multiple people speaking rationally, for instance.
>>
>>2744877
The increase in resolution doesn't help much if the lens(es) is(are) crap. It would depend on how big you want to blow up a particular shot.
>>
>>2745080
Fuji doesn't really have any crap lenses. The kit lens is L Glass quality, and even the lower end of the budget has fantastic image quality. But just like any flagship camera from any manufacturer, if you're going to buy the best camera, you should be using it with the best lenses, you're right.

any more than 16 megapixels for a crop sensor is definitely overkill.

I'll take less noise over more pixels, past that.

Sony does not fucking have a BSI APS-C sensor. It's impossible to buy from them, it doesn't exist.
>>
>>2745305
>>2745294
When sensor technology advance fast enough, sometimes you see higher resolution with less noise at the same time.

Aperture number isn't indication of a lens' quality.

>>
>>2745309
>>2745311
I've been wondering for a while, what's stopping lens manufacturers from just putting a f/1 aperture in a lens for shits and giggles? Even if it will look bad you can still use it for maximum bokey and if you want proper quality put it on f/2.8 or whatever it was designed for.
I'm probably missing something fundamental though.
>>
>>2745323
Expense, size, weight.
>>
>>2745323

There are several f/1 or faster lenses currently in production.
>>
>>2745311
Even then you're still hidden from data about T-stop. And the quality of the bokeh, etc.

F1,4 whores are worse than Gear whores.
>>
>>2745025
>Too busy blocking out the gearfags.

>>
I love it. Just got an X-T10 though so I'm not going to buy a new body any time soon. But whenever the X-T2 comes out I'll be looking hard at the used market... I way prefer the rangefinder styling and feel too.
>>
>>2745074
That's not what I said at all but good job putting words in my mouth.

Not all Fuji shooters think like this. Some do, along with owners of other lower resolution bodies. I've seen D4 shooters make the same claim (that 16 MP is more than enough and high resolution bodies are for "amateurs")
>>
>>2745323
That much extra optical glass costs a lot of money so even if you don't bother to make it a good lens it's still going to cost a lot. Also a lens which is "supposed" to be f/2.8 but is actually f/1 for shits and giggles means 3 times the glass area means theoretically like 5 times the volume. So you're using 5 times as much expensive glass and making it 5 times heavier. And there are also design limitations because the lens has to fit in the lens mount which means there's a fixed maximum size for at least the rear element.
>>
>>2745549
Actually I fucked up, I guess 3 stops would be 9 times the area and so 27 times the volume. But that's probably way too simplified and not accurate at all anyway, lens design is complicated magic.
>>
>>2745331
That's right.
Fuji's got that 33mm f/1.0 in the pipeline it seems.
>>

Sitting from a place where 16MP has been eliminated from my bag, I can say that processing and editing the stupidly large A7r images is just easier, more flexible and worry free compared to the prior gen Canon and Sony crop images I worked with.

It isn't about 100% zoom, but having more choices and more scenarios where I can push a capture a bit and know I have a clean, usable shot.

In nice light, shooting landscapes or environmental stuff, a cellphone is usually sufficient.

It is when the shit goes down that all the gizmos, do-dads and pixels can help out.

That isn't gearfagging, it is just practical.
>>
>>2748432
because they're more honest about their exact focal lengths than others? same reason Pentax has odd numbers. measure any Canon 50mm lens and you'll find it anywhere from 45.5mm to 55.7mm. they're not precise, especially when you consider that the focal length changes even just focusing the damn thing.
>>
>>2748704

Hi, OP of the military thread here.
I've blown up two of the photos in that thread into 20" x 30" prints at 162 dpi

At inspection of the prints I saw no signs of digitalization or loss of IQ. They were perfect.

OP is a fag

btw, Fuji's new cameras will have 23+ megapixels starting this year with the CMOS3 Sensor. So what the fuck is the point of this thread?
>>
>>2750371
doesn't matter really, the 56mm @1.2 is giving you the same light of the 85mm @1.8 soo the measurements are correct

Fuji lenses are absolutely amazing. What has been holding them back, at a pixel peeper level, are the 16 megapickles. The new sensor in the Xpro2 takes even more advantage of the resolving power of the lenses.

I just wish they'd throw out smaller, full manual focus, lenses.

They have had issues with it when using Adobe, and with SOOC jpegs, but processed in Capture1, PhotoNinja, Iridient, etc. The problem goes away. The issue is the noise reduction that JPEGs and Adobe don't know how to strip out.

I hadn't read anything about the waxiness on the XPro2. It's resolved you say? That's great news.
Fuji also claims that they've been working with Adobe to dramatically improve what ACR is capable of doing with the files.

best case scenario is that fuji continue to work on that organic sensor with panalsonic, but in the meantime obtain and develop the foveon with sigma

i can already imagine a relatively compact "MF" type rangefinder with a larger foveon sensor, like what fuji used to make in the film days

it would be glorious

No, they didn't. They improved it slightly. Fuji has come out and said they've been in talks with Adobe and given them a lot of information about X-Trans and that soon, around XPro2 time, they should have some updates and true improvements supposedly.

It's not just Fuji though. To my knowledge there are objectively superior RAW processors that'll get more out of any RAW file, not just Fuji. I haven't opened LR in ages, and am considering getting something like Capture One or DxO Optics Pro to compliment PS because the RAW processing on those is supposed to be noticeably better with sharper images, better colors and better contrast.

I have tried iridient. I didn't see too much improvement, though it was there if you get in to 100%. I've used Lightroom 5, Lightroom 6.1, Iridient, Capture One, and PhotoNinja, and nothing touches PhotoNinja for the RAF files I have.
The other engines are "Oh, okay, yeah, that's a little better" and with PhotoNinja, it gets you checking the stats for the X-T1 to be sure it really says it's only 16mp.

here's the same file in Lightroom 6.1.
All noise reduction turned off, highlights pulled back all the way, attempting to get the same tones as PhotoNinja. It can't get there. It's definitely an improvement over Lightroom 5, undeniable, but still not anywhere near as nice as PhotoNinja with minimal adjustment.

Fuji files have "baked in" noise reduction, and a unique color filter. In order to not see each individual colored photo site, the program has to blend together the individual photo sites to decide what color was actually present using averaging and some proprietary algorithms. The combination of that noise reduction, and Adobe not knowing the perfect math to do that photo-site de-mosaicing leads to guess work and sloppy results. You get smears and glowing edges and "waxy details".

Why PhotoNinja, a tiny little program nobody has ever used, can do it great, while Adobe, the biggest name in the business, can't, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever. But one would think it would be pretty high on Fuji's priority list to get an email over to Adobe with an attachment called "How to work our files.txt" or some shit.

I have the X-Pro2 on pre-order. It has nothing to do with the resolution though. Only care about the rangefinder setup and the AF performance. I'm sure the extra resolution will be nice, but 16 has treated me very very well thus far. I really wanted the XPro1, but with the "fuji's first steps" pains, it wasn't the right camera for me. I'll be keeping the X-T1 for when I need battery life or a portrait grip, or the giant viewfinder, but I think most of my stuff will be done with the XPro2 since that body style suits my shooting style very well.

I want to jump ship to Fuji, I currently have a 550D and was going to get the 5D mark 3, but that was almost primarily for full frame.. however I like the colours and feel of the X-T1's images.
A little concerned about going from APS-C to APS-C but I suppose with a 24mm lens or something it'll balance out as I mainly shoot a 50mm (84mm equivalent) already.
Any reason why I shouldn't do this?

the xf glass is more expensive, with limited choices.

I only use a 50mm with my 550D and it does me fine, I'm happy with 1-2 prime lenses max so an investment isn't an issue either

I'm the guy posting photos in here. I had a 5Dmk2, and got a X-T1 as a fun travel camera. After about a month, my 5D sat in my bag, and all I ever carried around was the X-T1. As of about a week ago, I sold the 5D, and all my canon lenses, and I'm using the cash to fund the XPro2 and a couple of studio lights.

I'm not you, and you're not me, but if you like any of the photos I've posted, and can identify with that style of shooting, you can feel confident knowing that the Fuji was a large step up, even from Canon full frame (though admittedly, not CURRENT Canon full frame)

the step from Canon aps-c to Fuji (Sony) aps-c is dramatic, and you'll love the improvement, I guarantee it. The only thing to look into is whether you're comfortable with the ergonomics of the bodies. The grip on my X-T1 felt small to me, so I got the large battery grip for it, which helped a lot, but it's a different shooting experience.

I would not buy the Fuji without trying the 5D first.
I guarantee you will love everything about it except the weight and the unnecessarily complicated control scheme (compared to the 550D, anyway).
Contrast detect AF is always going to be contrast detect AF. 16MP is always going to be 16MP. "Fuji colours" are just image processing.
5D is the professional's choice for a reason.

X-T1 has phase detect autofocus. it is slower than a DSLR, slightly, but much more accurate, and reliable. Another reason I stopped using the 5D.

*Clarification, it is much more accurate than my 5D was. I know the more modern AF systems are better, so it might be less of an issue. The 5Dmk2 was notorious for having a "good enough" system, without much to brag about. Either way, I have found the X-T1 to be enough to shoot a "jump around on stage" style show in good light, but NOT good enough to shoot the same style show in difficult lighting. For day to day shooting, portraits, "street" etc, it's excellent. Still hoping that the dramatically faster processor and new sensor on the XPro2 will improve upon it however.

>>2752631
Maybe because of some design thing, maybe it's because 90 is/was a popular FL on view cameras back in the day so they were nodding to that. Who knows though.
>>
>>2752631
90 has always been a popular focal length. Contax rangefinder as well as many famous macro lenses. not to mention many Leica 90mm lenses. what difference does it make? focal length markings on lenses aren't accurate to the digit anyways.
>>
>>2752661
That and most focal lengths are incredibly arbitrary. Below about 24mm, the difference in every mm becomes more pronounced, so it's worth your while to differentiate between something like 20 and 21mm, or 18mm and 16mm etc.

Once you get into the short-telephoto range of 75mm and up there isn't a a very big variation in FoV if two lenses are within say 10mm of each other. So it's really splitting hairs when discussing an 85 vs 90mm equivalent lens.

You'll mostly hear positive things from people who either used to shoot manual with film cameras and love the ergonomics or people who love the IQ.
Few cameras on the market handle the same way as the X series, which is what makes them so special to some people.

Some people can't get over the cost of lenses or don't like the IQ when using Lightroom. Some are pixel peepers who can't live with 16/24 megapixels and only want to shoot Full frame with an A7/s/r/II.
>>
>>2754355
pretty much. I dithed the d7100 for X-t1, and as I always shoot full manual i never been happier for going with Fuji. Iq is so much nicer than anything i used before.
>>
>>2754355
You don't understand. If you are saying something and being an aggressive asshole about it, people will hate you no matter what you say or if it is true or not.
If you are so persistent about it people will also get tired of your shit and get tired of what you are talking about, very quickly.
The topic has no part in this. Say what you want and spark up discussions but don't be an ass about it. That's it. That isi guy I was talking about has gone so far up his/her own ass, will be met with hatred and rejection because of this, no matter how nice his approach.
Most of the Fuji hate on the board comes from this. His character and behavior got connected with Fuji so all the dismissal and hatred gets spilled over to Fuji as well.

tl;dr: The Fuji hate here is about a person, not about the cameras or their performance.

No, the trees both in front and behind the road are out of focus. Is it the sunrays? Could be, but too much is out of focus in them to make a solid composition.
Face it, there is literally everything out of focus in that photo, it is telling us absolutely nothing.

What? The price of Fujinon lenses are fantastic for what you get compared to Nikon/Canon pricing for their premium lenses. The only exceptions being the 50-140mm and 100-400mm, but those prices are to be expected and are still cheaper than the Nikon/Canon equivalents.

I have no problems with the cost of lenses. Fuji gave me fast crop focal lengths and I have pretty much every length I need for the system. My only nag is with the focus by wire and electronic aperture control though.

There are people out there though that complain about spending more than around £300 for each lens. Maybe it's because there are a lot more 2nd hand Canon/Nikon lenses out there for them.

Nikon has a truly shit premium APS-C lens lineup. Same with Canon although slightly better. Can't compare FF Canikon lenses to Fuji

It's also actually a fast focuser, even on the xpro1.
Due to the lighter construction and the fact that the xf zoom aperture rings tend to move too easy, and the wider end, I find I prefer it to my old 18-55. Doesn't zoom creep either which is a big of a prob for the 18-55 eventually
