p.1 #1 · Pretty impressed with Fuji's regular FW updates

It would have been nice if Fuji's Xpro1 was released perfect but let's come back to reality. There could have been more R&D etc etc before it was released but let's not cry over spilled milk. The reality is we have a wonderful photographic tool and paperweight (don't get to shoot much these days) =D and it seems that Fujifilm is committed to support us and the product by releasing incremental updates that improve upon its performance. I just updated to the newest 2.03 body and 2.02 lens and it seems a little snappier but I will put it to the test this weekend if weather permits. Just my opinion.

I wish Sony would get the hint, waiting a year between updates is ridiculous.

p.1 #3 · Pretty impressed with Fuji's regular FW updates

I just updated my Fuji X-E1. I don't see an increase in speed but it's nice to see updates coming regularly Fuji. My fingers are crossed for setting the minimum shutter speed when using auto ISO and for focus peaking in the next FW update. Since I also have a NEX 5N, it would be also nice to get useful firmware updates from Sony as well.

Fuji is still trying to fix what Sony got right out of the box. But it is good fuji is releasing updates.

canon released a fw update for their 40mm f2.8 not too far back. so i guess it's possible, although maybe we just don't see it often
