Bought a Fuji XPro 2. Any chance any Australian goons know where I can buy a thumb grip locally? Lensmate's seems to be the best reviewed, but only sold in the US, and shipping cost + time sucks.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:Gumtree and/or facebook. If the seller looks dodgy when you go to pick it up dont buy it but otherwise they are both good places for anything, if you dont mind second hand. Yeah good idea. And no, don't mind second hand, it's a literal piece of metal. Hard to gently caress that up. (knock on wood).

underage at the vape shop posted:I'm Australian We're lucky. Digidirect and Michaels in Melbourne had 5 or more XT2 boxes ready when I walked in when the US was still linking people with 'Quick! Amazon has 6 XT2s in stock right now!' We get enough and the demand just isn't high enough in Aus. It's great! So when the US gets them, we'll get them at the same time. X100 stock might be tricky, but the rest should be fine.

Nikon's micro-site for their new full frame mirrorless is starting to update; https://events.imaging.nikon.com/live/en/

The new Nikon Mirrorless system is; Mirrorless full frame a 46mp sensor (from the D850) and a 24mp varient new lens mount with a wide enough diameter to accept medium format sensors in the future F mount smart adapter at launch 3 lenses 24-70, 35mm, and a 50mm f0.95 Nikon's trademarked 'Noct' for their new super fast lenses.

The new Nikon mount is the same width as the Fuji GFX, so it's allowing them to develop medium format in the future. In the meantime, it allows f0.95 lenses, one of which will launch with the camera. And as Powderific alluded to, Nikon's cutting off almost all entry level stuff and focusing heavily on the Pro market. Their latest financials show this. Revenue is down, and profits are way up.

Roadmap looks strong. And in the meantime, you can use every F-mount there is.

The sales of the Z6/Z7 are what's going to help bankroll the development and production of the Z series lenses throughout the next couple years. It's unreasonable to expect Nikon to release a completely new platform and also have a wide range of new lenses ready to go immediately. By the end of 2021, they'll have an extremely thorough portfolio. That's pretty good.

With a 55mm diameter and a 16mm flange distance, you'll be able to mount pretty much any lens that exists once Co's start churning out adapters, if that's your thing. I shoot with a D850 and D810 at the moment, and I'm probably going to drop the 810 for the Z7. Then as the Z series matures, transition over. The oldest lens I still shoot with regularly is a 14-24 f2.8, that was released in 2007. 11 years It's on the Z roadmap for 2020, and I'd almost bet money that it won't get an F mount refresh. Writing on the wall, etc.

A 100mp crop medium format for $10k is a good price. Although commercial shooters are as likely to just have a leased Phase/Blad system already, so I’m not sure the exact market the 100 will target exactly. Rentals might do well from it tho. Great time to be a photographer either way!

8th-snype posted:It's squarely aimed at midcareer people who currently own say a D750 or 5d3 and are considering their options for upgrades. 100mp with IBIS is crazy and the 10k price point is holy poo poo good. Yeah the Ibis makes it super attractive. I’m a lifestyle, editorial and food shooter so I appreciate the felixibility of 35mm and the ability to hand hold more readily. I was curious about GFX but I’m now genuinely interested. As long as Fuji keeps rolling out that gorgeous glass they’re on a winner.

KennyG posted:In evaluating switching/not-switching camera systems how much do you look at the lens options (both existing and 'roadmap') versus the body itself? Pickup both the Sony and the Canon, feel them in your hands, the button placement, how far you have to reach to different areas, what feels 'right' Then buy the one that you like more.

Photex posted:I'm all for hating on SaaS but Lightroom and Photoshop with 20gb of sync storage is only $10 a month which isn't terrible. Yeah, I just can’t get angry about Adobe charging me $10 a month for the industry standard software. Lightroom and PS both always the latest versions for 10% of what the old full versions used to cost. I get that it’s not for everyone, but I’m constantly stunned by how cheap it is.

Schneider Heim posted:which were in a way supposed to bring down their DSLR systems' prices? Nah. There's 50 years of glass and user base in that system. Don't expect big price drops yet. In a year or so when someone can fully replace their DSLRs with mirrorless, maybe.

powderific posted:I think at the moment they're trying to price their mirrorless stuff competitively since they're both late to the game, while the DSLRs already have a very well established user base and I'm not sure they have a lot of reason to drop the floor out on high value products that are still selling well. I know Nikon outsold their expectations for the D850 and couldn't really keep up with demand. Not sure how things went on the Canon side since it seems like their DSLR upgrades have been a lot more incremental. Yep, pretty much bang on. The Nikon Z7 is the mirrorless equivalent (mostly) to a D850, and the 850 is still the more expensive camera, and is still selling well. I'll be moving to either the Z line or GFX in the next 12 months, but I don't know too many shooters who are desperate to jump, as their current stuff is still exceptionally good.

The Z6 is pretty great for how they priced it. And they've just upgraded it to shoot ProRes RAW video onto external Atomos recorders which, if you're a hybrid shooter, is pretty wild.

that was the first thing I noticed testing the Z6. Actually having to change batteries on a shoot versus the D850. It doesn't really matter, it was just a point of difference.

Dr. VooDoo posted:I’ve heard above a certain MP size it’s just over kill used for marketing hype. Like anything above 26 I think it was? Any truth to that? I shoot with 46mp cameras for work, and most of it ends up on the web, with maybe 10% as marketing for print. Providing clients with high res images allows them to make 16:9 verticals out of landscape shots easily, or crop to a smaller section of a file and get 2 or more useable images out of 1 original. High res cameras are great.

My wife vetoed it, but I'll be back in May and will likely grab it. (they had 4!)

Ihmemies posted:I just wish they released a FF body and stopped wasting their time with niche products. 2 big could be Sony and Fuji since they had such a long headstart to Nikon and Canon. Sony took the opportunity while Fuji wasted it completely. Now it is too late. The difference between APS-C and Full frame is negligible for 90% of photographers, 90% of the time. Why would you want to be the 4th best option in the FF category when you can be the best option in the APS-C category?

qirex posted:I don’t think Fuji is going to bother with full frame, I’d guess their medium format-ish [it’s basically 4 APS sensors, right?] size is their long term strategy for when processing and storage get faster and cheaper for it. The Fuji product managers are on the record, multiple times, mentioning they have no intention of making full frame digital. And to your point, yeah. GFX is for their pro customers, X-series is for the mainstream, pros, and video.
