I'm very excited about this camera! Will I buy it? Not sure, yet...but, it's within reach. Whether or not that would be a good decision, is the real question.
I'm a people shooter and the VAST majority of my work is shot vertically, so I'm probably much more pleased with the design than most people. Everything I've owned from my 1Ds2, to my current D850 either had a vertical grip built in or one that went on and never came off! So I'm totally fine with the general decision to make the camera with an integrated grip. I'm not as excited about the actual shape of the grip they chose. I would've bet a whole, shiny nickel that they would have changed the final design from the prototype. I would've lost that nickel. I was hoping that they would either mimic the main grip design or maybe went with something more like vertical grip for the 50s, which seems pretty neat, ergonomically, so you can get your hand a little lower and arm a little closer into your body. I'm disappointed in the final decision, but it's not a "deal breaker" by any stretch.
I also would've liked something like a D-pad or more substantial thumb stick, but the inclusion of face/eye detection will probably alleviate any of those concerns I might have about easily manipulating the AF quickly.
On a much less important question of aesthetics, do I think it's a pretty camera? No...but I do think it looks cool, in the same way that I do not think an AH-64 Apache looks pretty, but it does look awesome! I'm not the least bit concerned that a lot of people think it's ugly. In fact, if you think you can "ugly shame" about $2k off the price and make the body more readily available, go right ahead
But seriously, folks...
I'm a little uneasy with the 1/125th flash sync. I wished they would've upped that a little bit.
Those are my nitpicks.
I'm very excited about the resolution, BSI, IBIS, AF points everywhere, face/eye detection, "speed", and EVF. Speaking of EVF, I'm excited to see the tilt adapter is compatible, since I'm 6'4" but work with a lot of people more in the 5'4" range
The tilt EVF was one of the first things that got my attention about the original 50s.
All in all, it looks like an incredibly useful, usable camera! Surely I'm not the only non-FujiFilm shooter, looking at this camera. I anxiously await reading all I can in the upcoming days, weeks, and months!
