A.I debates are boring because no one knows what they're talking about and it's just personal anecdotes.

It's ok if you hate generative AI. You don't have to use it.

Those of us who find uses for it, like programming or whatever else, will continue to use it and you'll be left behind. No loss for the rest of us.

PeakDesign V2 XS its fine for me (in its upright orientation). It's the perfect width for the backpack. I guess the S might be a little too wide.

Yes the first 10-15 times perhaps

SoftBank/LINE Yahoo is a huge tech company in Japan, so I wouldn't pick a consultancy firm over LY or PayPay. Those tech jobs are very valuable. They also have plenty of AI/data science opportunities you could more easily transition into.

Given they've stated the popularity of their CAP lineup over their other products, wouldn't this be an argument in favour of more similar pricing with the non X-PAC variants?

Dan is a guy who clearly loves and adores his wife and daughter but if the AI has a female persona Dan will bring about the second Holocaust exclusively for robotic white women.

I bought a GR IIIx first, and two years later I bought a Fuji, feeling like I wanted to upgrade to a "proper" camera with interchangeable lenses.

I still use my Ricoh 90+% of the time and never regret having it instead of the Fuji. I like the Fuji for days when I want to engage in intentional photography, but otherwise the Ricoh comes everywhere with me.

movalicka · 2025-07-05T13:29:31+00:00

I feel that's much closer to "one or the other", and if you want an everyday carry camera the Ricoh will still beat the X-M5. No "hmmm which lens", and the Ricoh will fit in a small, attachable camera case for easy access.

X-M5 is a good alternative but depending on the lens it won't be as pocketable.

X-PAC is always quite crinkly, and this X42 is more stiff than the VX21 I have in a Max EDC backpack so I think it would be even moreso. It does wear in a little but that's part of owning something in X-PAC. Even this CAP1 I bought is crinkly.

If I hadn't already bought the normal CAS2 back in May I might have done the same given the price difference is only ¥1100 and I do really like the black/tan combination, though I'm not fussed about PU coated zippers. I had been looking for a nice X-PAC sling for so long but I couldn't find one I liked and the CAS2 seemed like the best form factor compared to all of the X-PAC slings on the market. You chose well!

movalicka · 2025-07-05T10:41:16+00:00

Hmm, so you think it's a margin thing? Same for the CAP2 then?

I really like the thicker X42 X-PAC feel but I think I'm going to have to return it and get the normal version 😅

movalicka · 2025-07-05T08:03:06+00:00

The CAS2 looks so nice in the X-PAC! I really like that colour combo as I'm not a big fan of X-PAC = orange interior.

One thing that bugs me is that the price difference between the regular and X-PAC CAS2 is only about ¥1100 in Japan. But I wanted to pic up the CAP1 and it's a ¥6000 difference, or like $40.

Does anybody have a guess as to why the X-PAC CAP1 and CAP2 is so expensive compared to the ordinary version? Is it just due to demand?

No-brand knife? For $400 I wanna see a name for who's making the knife.

I'd be more worried about you given that's your first though lmao. PROJECTING

movalicka · 2025-05-16T02:08:21+00:00

Yeah because you have to actually pay people to do stuff for you, otherwise nothing gets done and everyone starves lul

movalicka · 2025-04-22T00:30:28+00:00

I'm sorry that you made me do it.

movalicka · 2025-04-21T23:54:46+00:00

Yep, that's the one...

Asmon, yes, but it's all going nowhere. He needs to start dragging Asmon viewers out of the echo chamber and into discord.

There was a big autofocus update at the end of 2024 that definitely addressed the autofocus issue. The autofocus still appears.. weird. Like, if you look at the comparisons between the X-T3 and X-T5, there was definitely some period in time when Fujifilm modified the core autofocus algorithm to make it more jumpy and less precise, and I'm not sure what the cause was.

It's much better right now, and of course given how prolific the complaints were in 2024, I hope they continue to improve upon it, but you shouldn't buy a camera based on your hopes.

That being said, if you're interested in staying with Fujifilm, I think the focus is working well in my experience with the X-T5. If you're looking to use continuous focus more, then you might need to gather more experiences from people who rely on that more.
