I'm amazed at the subject focus tracking. It is remarkably accurate when set on 'animal' at tracking small brown birds amongst a shrubby bushes.

I'm amazed at the subject focus tracking. It is remarkably accurate when set on 'animal' at tracking small brown birds amongst a shrubby bushes. Is it clear how the subject detection works in harness with the traditional AF? I'm still very confused as to how the Fuji does it but I'm generally using the camera as I would my Canon 1Div with single point AF which is probably the wrong thing to do. I agree that the subject detection can work very well with obscured subjects. This chiffchaff would be a problem with conventional AF which might well jump to the intervening twig on shutter release if not using AF lock.  DSCF3514.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

I've been blown away by just how good the R7 is. I've just ordered one for my wife as the prices are starting to sneak up. Just need to wait for stock to arrive in the UK now. That's good to know. I thought your first results looked good. My reluctance to go to the R system was 1) it is new 2) I saw very little feedback on user experience 3) it was expensive, especially when the first generation R5 seemed to be the only option. I moved from 2 x Canon 5D mkiii to a Fuji kit when 'R' appeared for similar reasons, plus the weight of everything was proving a hinderance to me personally in use. |

I haven't "moved" - I still have all my Canon kit. Just decided to wait before buying an 'R' body as my DSLRs have a lot of life left in them. Fuji system just started when I wanted a very light camera (X-E2) which I didn't take to but I found a s/h X-H1 felt more 'Canon-like' and nicer to use. Now I have two systems. |
