Because when I bring it up I bring it up like maybe once in the thread relating to it and then just move on to something else and not take up an entire thread beating a dead horse. Also my tone isn't that aggressive and condescending and disrespectful to the company when I do it. Jase1125 wrote: JadedWriter wrote:
What brand loyalty? If you search my history you can find me complaining about the stuff...even in this very thread. I just get tired of hearing about peoples incessant whining about it. I have used both my X and GFX stuff for work and it works well enough to do my job. I also swap around with Nikon stuff. I can use both for the most part. I just try not to use X mount for very demanding things. Jase1125 wrote:
Not hyperbole but just facts. I never said it is impossible for someone to get wildlife or birds in flight. I have quite a catalog of them with Fuji myself. However, as a tool compared to the same tool made by other manufacturers it is substandard. When you strip away the brand loyalty and look at the technical benchmarks for high-speed tracking and wildlife photography, Fuji just cannot compete with the others. Both the X-T5 and X-H2s can struggle to maintain focus during erratic movement compared to the dedicated AI processing units in competitors. This is well documented by reviewers and users.
And search my posts and you will see this is probably the first time I have raised this issue. I will dispute people saying there is nothing wrong and it works well. So my use is like yours - I don’t use X mount for demanding things. How come when some of us bring this up now it is whining and you bring it up in the past isn’t whining? Seems like if you agree with the content and tired of discussing it you would just ignore the post and move on.
I have not been disrespectful, aggressive, or condescending. I haven’t taken up this thread anymore than you have arguing that my opinion is invalid. I mean this post is literally about Fuji AF. I am participating in a post about Fuji AF sharing my perspective and I feel fairly balanced. No one is forcing you to engage with me if you dislike me or my posts for some reason. When I criticize Fuji AF, it is always in comparison with the other major players. There has to be a standard it is compared against. That it works great for some people for their style of photography is great and I am happy for them. It works fine for me for portraits (mostly with some misses) and landscape. For more demanding AF scenarios, like songbirds in flight with a smaller depth of field, it doesn’t work well at all. So that is where I am coming from when I say it sucks because the others do all of those scenarios quite well.
