    To be honest, I'm left wondering why this is a topic restricted to 'Fujifilm X Camera talk'.

    Interesting...ly bizarre? I only read the Fuji section so far, and that alone had quite a few choice takes, so to speak. I suspect the bit about their AF being more capable than Canon's would be enough to give certain folk around here a mild aneurysm - but then they list the DOF indicator as a major positive? The same one that's famously useless? And they "barely cater to videographers"? Was this written when the X-T1 was new? Rather puzzling, all that.

    Edit: The author's profile describes her as "a food and beverage journalist and an avid home cook" whose work has appeared in The Epoch Times. Now I have seen it all...

    It's not. If you want to post this someplace else, go ahead. Some brand lovers may have the aneurysm described in the post after yours.

    Two days ago I was photographing the owl chicks side by side with a very good photographer that specializes in owls. It was well after sunset so very little light.
    She was using an A1 with 600mm f4 GM, She had to manual focus and I still had subject and eye detect working shooting with my Nikon 500 PF on Fuji X-H2s. She opened up and had a lot of negative things to say about Sony.

    Hey, sure - different strokes for different folks, it's perfectly possible for people to find Fuji's AF system superior to those of brands supposedly more advanced in the area, and I'm certainly not dissatisfied with it. What throws me is that such a decidedly non-mainstream assessment is put out there with neither additional justification or really... anything concrete. But then again, this whole ranking, like most of the crud published on gear sites, is barely above clickbait in its purest form and not worthy of detailed analysis, so I'll just stop thinking about it now.

    Maybe it's based on how to take photos of pancakes while having a beer. 😉

    The picture of the Olympus manual focus film camera is already a big red flag.

    That's the sort of post you should post up at FM Morris, popcorn time. 😀 😀

    That... was a bizarre article. But hey, to each their own. It certainly didn't fail to entertain.

    in the link she has written:

    For instance, [Sigma's] first mirrorless camera was optimized, somewhat randomly in our opinion, for the L-mount system of Leica lenses instead of its own proprietary SA-mount lenses.

    Wrong ... the first Sigma mirrorless ILC was the SA-mount 'sd Quattro', not the L-mount 'fp' ...

    Agreed. It was funny reading some of the criteria they posted justifying the rankings.
