Have the Issues with the X1D been resolved? EX: Touch screen to move the focus points around. 1- I know you had to keep touching the Screen more than once to move the focal point around
2- AF hunting
3- too long while the buffer was waiting for several seconds to shoot another image
4- And the other issues it had.
I had the GFX 50S and that was a nice camera with none of these issues. Also, the LCD screen was not as sharp( resolution) on the X1D
Just dont want to buy it if these issues were not resolved or improved. Thanks
OP has not specified if he is asking about mark 1 or mark 2. We do not know yet how much X1DII has improved, some demos are in hand of a few and they seem very happy.
The LCD can act as a touchpad. Similar to a touchpad, you may need to lift your finger to move the focus point. Quite convenient when using it on a computer and quite convenient when using it on X1D as well, IMO.
Do not consider AF hunting on X1D an issue (all cameras have it, to a small or large degree).
There is a considerable blackout between shots in X1D. Supposedly shortened quite a bit with X1DII. Some may be bothered by the blackout, some are not. X1D starts up slowly (also supposedly improved on X1DII) but wakes quickly from sleep.
I own and use both GFX50S and X1D, but I do not shoot portraits or family groups with them. Both are very good cameras with excellent lenses. They differ in features, ergonomics, and style.
