Well, tomorrow night we get to see the Fuji response to these complaints, Eric...

New firmware for xt-1 (probably trickle down to other models in near future...it will have some improvements and some totally new focus features ...just amazing that fuji does this rather than issue a new model to try to pry more money out of users...just amazing.

here is a video from the "fuji guys" about the updates:

That was a really interesting video. Getting quite excited at the 'new camera' we are getting for free.

Truth be told...24 is preferable. 36mb gives me files WAY larger than I need but who would ever disable that :-) ???

FUJI firmware is available NOW.

VERY nice...the focus follow really seems to work very well (at least in the camera...it's late at night here so I really need daylight to give it a fair test :-) :-)

Probably stay up all night now playing with the damn thing...just PRAY this firmware comes to X100T and Xe-2 as well...

Downloaded and installed.
Some custom settings lost but it doesnt take long to restore them to normal use mode.

The AF does seem much more snappy in AF-S mode with centre spot.
I will test fully tomorrow when I have a portrait shoot.

I hope that a similar firmware can be delivered for the XE2.
I may have to go buy myself a new X100T if they put the new firmware upgrade into its firmware!

The big question that I need to ask myself over the next month or so is.... "Does the new enhanced XT1 satisfy my AF focusing needs?' and do I get rid of most of my Nikon gear and get another Fuji XT1, 100-400 and 10-24 lenses.

I have been comparing and contrasting the D750 and D810.
D810 = Heavier :thumbsdown: , Highlight exposure mode, has nice 10pin accessory socket, has CF + SD (yuk should have had 2 SD sockets), No built in wifi.
Also I have a D800 so it is a pair :applause:.    36MP is maybe too many MP!

D750 = Lighter :applause:, has 2 SDs, Highlight exposure mode, Built in wifi, Doesnt have a 10pin connector but custom connector however I have GPS that works with it anyway, 24MP is very nice.

This new firmware makes the XT1 focus really quickly.
I may need to do some side by side tests to check how close to my D600 the focus speed is to that of the XT1 with firmware v4.

Note sure side by side comparisons are helpful as there will always be slight differences that potentially slew the result. Question is..does the XT now perform adequately in all the situations you need it to do?

I seriously liked the feel in the hand of the D750... better than other Nikons and Fujis. For me its deciding whether, given acceptable AF performance, I would start using the XT more and leave the ergonomically better D750 at home?

V4 updated...need to get out and check it all out. NewAF modes seem interesting and eye focus seems to work.

AF-S does seem a bit snappier but I felt that the tracking mode wasn't as responsive as the D750. But true to my previous comment......I need to see if it's responsive enough! ;-)

Have to say that there is an improvement but not enough for things like bird in flight.
It's getting closer, maybe by the time the Fuji 100-400 comes out they may have perfected it.
