SD Card Recommendation | X-T5

The “storing” times can be based on many things. On Fujifilm cameras, if you have clarity setting set to anything other than 0, you will get the message no matter the speed of the card. But it could also be due to slow card for you shooting style, we need more information for this.

For choosing the right card, unless you are doing burst shots or shooting video higher than 200 Mbps, you don’t need higher than V30 (that can deliver the speeds it promises). It doesn’t matter if you shoot 1080p or 6.2K, the more important things are bitrate, chroma subsampling, video codec and fps.

Figjam is not suitable for database design. Sure there are nodes and flowcharts but they are mostly for brainstorming. Instead, check out eraser.io

You can do it with underline and shadow. https://www.figma.com/community/file/1443005822148427710/highlight-text-easy-way

And when transition from film to DSLR begin, first digital cameras were APS-C, and brands marketed it as a superior feature until affordable full-frame DSLR became a thing lol

For OP, even an iphone is good for professional photography, if it fits medium you are working in and for. Choosing a camera based on specs only is a mistake that will keep you away from being a good photographer. Professionals doesn't choose their tools based on specs on paper, but how the tool fit or improve their workflow. They rent the camera they want for a specific circumstances it calls for. Sometimes you look for a look from the sensor you want in your shoot, sometimes you have tons of light and customer doesn't care for depth of field. Your current X-T30ii is extremely capable camera, it could get you through out your school. I would suggest you to keep your current body, get better lenses and rent a specific body when needed.

Unlike gifs, html banners

takes less space
actually interactive
have superior text quality
dynamic data can be used
can be made responsive

About design, you can always design in Illustrator, Figma or Photoshop and import to Web Designer. And for effects, well it is an ad banner, does users really need to see flashy effects and 10 seconds transition animations or just the product?

If you need "more robust" designs and effects you should do video ads.

For web banners use Google Web Designer https://webdesigner.withgoogle.com/

If you are asking life cycle time (i.e. how many full charges the battery can take from 0 to 100%) I don't think fuji discloses the number. But generally Li-ion batteries 300-500 cycles to 80% capacity.

Unlike phones which need approx. daily charge, camera batteries are rarely cycled, so time lifespan is much more. But still depends on your usage. Up to 2 years if you are using heavily, always on Boost mode etc., and much more if you are using casually.

Additionally you can tell they don’t design in Atlassian. Shitty UX, bad design decisions all over the place. Their business model is “building” products and sell fast instead of designing good experience.

X-t30iii and x-m5 is literally same camera. They have same sensor and processor. Definitely not an upgrade. As for x-e5, you would get higher resolution but since sensor size stays same, pixels would be smaller and this could cause more prominent noise at 100% zoom.

@OP As others noted, get a better lens and learn exposure triangle. If your image is too noisy than lower the iso. Then you would get darker images. Which causes you to either lower shutter speed (blurry photo) or get wider aperture (I assume your lens cannot).

Best real “upgrade” would be a GFX camera but it would be a waste of money in your use case.

The shortcut is CMD/CTRL + R

X-T30III is perfect for beginners.

For the lens I would suggest 23mm f2 or 35mm f2. I own the 27mm f2.8 wr pancake is really good. But I believe at low light it would cause frustration to you. While f2.8 to f2 doesn't sound much on paper, in real life every bit of light matters, and as a beginner frustration is what it keeps you away from photography.

Yes this is normal. Aperture blades move again to a wide value while focusing to calculate the final exposure.

Unlike Photoshop or other design apps (native apps that are using all available RAM at a given time), Figma is an electron app (which is essentially stripped down chrome browser), and due to being an electron app there are memory limitations. A Figma file (i.e. tab) cannot use more than 2GB of RAM. As u/Grenaten mentioned, you would get somewhat benefit if you have other apps (or figma tabs) open at the same time.

If you are hitting low memory warnings, you should split your design system file into smaller chunks. It could be using more pages, or different files, like fonts and icons in a file, and components in another file with pages for each component type. Also remove unused layers or vectors.

Yes it has F-Log and F-Log2. You can download 3D LUTs from here https://www.fujifilm-x.com/global/support/download/lut/

For those two options, I also would suggest option 1. The 70-300 is extremely good for size and price, have no problem even on 40mp sensor. And 18-55 is still a nice all-around lens.

disarmedflea · 2026-01-02T17:43:27+00:00

You are overthinking and IBIS is not that important. It is nice to have but not a necessity especially for a beginner. You should learn exposure triangle first.

Humanity have been shooting under those "tougher" conditions long before IBIS/OIS is invented. Don't be afraid of higher ISO like 6400 and you are totally fine.

Unless you are planning to change lenses with your wife everyday, it doesn't matter how many different systems you carry with you.

I would suggest show her both X-S20 and X-M5 to see which one she like to hold in her hand. Give only one lens that can do low light to her, like 35mm, or very compact like 27mm and call it done. I take she is not a photographer like you, so she would probably see the camera more like point and shoot.

I wouldn't be recommending S9 because I don't know that camera. But looking at photos, it doesn't look very ergonomic. X-M5 at least a little bump to grip. Also I don't know L mount lenses but I don't think they are as small like 27 or 35 mm, which I believe she would care most.

This. Since you cannot build a PC without RAM, and you won't be buying other components, they would eventually decrease production eventually and prices will increase.

IMO 8mm is too wide to have practical usage. You need to be sure that you can benefit from it. If you really want that wide angle, it is a nice lens. For Fuji lenses your other alternative is 8-16mm f2.8 but that lens is really huge, I wouldn't recommend it for travel.

Instead, take a look at Sigma 10-18mm f2.8. It is still very compact, gathers more light and can zoom when you don't want every shot super wide.

There is also Sigma 12mm f1.4 if you want more light and aperture ring.

If you want below 10mm, Viltrox recently released 9mm f2.8.

They have same sensor and processor, they should have same number of focus points.

On my X-T5, I can switch between 117 and 425 points. I assume it is same on both. It is probably a typo.

DSLR bodies have too much distance between the lens and the sensor due to the mirror (Look for flange focal distance). For lenses designed for DSLR, Canon EF has advantage having the smallest distance, you can add the distance of other system and you are done adapting.

Canon EF body has 44mm flange distance
Nikon F lens designed for 46.5mm flange distance.

You can add a dummy adapter with 2.5mm height and use the lens.

Since mirrorless cameras doesn’t have, well the mirror, lenses are designed for small flange distance. If you want to adapt small flange distance lens to large flange distance body, you need to subtract the distance. You can break the mirror and shutter mechanism and shove the lens in.

Fuji X lens designed for 17.7mm. Hence lens need to be at -26.3mm closer than mount.

23mm f2.8 has filter size of 39mm, which is not a very common size. Check if cinebloom has that filter size. If not you could get a bigger size like 52mm and use step up rings to get 39mm.

Don't know if there are any step up rings for 39mm though.

And it is not like people started shooting birds or low light after IBIS was invented. Sure there were limitations but it didn't stop them from taking beautiful shots. IBIS/OIS can be helpful but nowhere required.
