H6X
+ True Focus
+ 1/2000s flash sync (with orange dot lenses)
- Older platform
- No modern non-portraiture tools such as focus stacking, timelapse etc.
- price is similar to XF but seems too high for an old platform
XF
? Honeybee autofocus
+ new & upgradable platform
+ ProfotoAir Remote built in
+ focus trim to fine tune autofocus for each lens
+ many non-portraiture tools e.g. focus stacking, seisomgraph, timelapse, hyperfocal
+ user interface
- lower flash sync speed when compared to 1/2000s
/ price similar to H6X but pre-owned/refurbished XF bodies are available for less
Seems that XF has advantage on paper but I have a couple of questions:
1. How much more useful is having 1/2000s flash sync vs. 1/1000s, in practice?
2. Is Honeybee autofocus comparable to True Focus or is True Focus still considered significantly better?
