you could probably get a surface pro 3 or pro 4 for cheap nowadays. thin and light, touchscreen and high resolution screen.

Thanks!

Is the Surface Go worth considering?

The search engine seems to think so

The boss making a call, one image from my last location shoot I can share. I liked the light and framing, we were in picking up some more b-roll for a new cut of a vid we are producing.

Still getting the hang of Capture One.

Dragged, almost literally, the family out to Poolbeg Lighthouse today. No time to shoot anything really but thought this looked nice. The beach in the background is the one I grew up playing about on.

Great expression caught!

From yesterday's class:

Anyone here shoot motorsports with an XT-2? I shot an event (HPDE circuit) a few weeks ago using my XT-2 and the 100-400, I had the shutter speed locked to 160th and iso locked to 200, but left the aperture at auto. It was a bright day so most of the shots ended up around f/10-f/14... I had the camera set to continuous auto focus (single point set to the largest) with the auto focus mode left on 1, and drive mode set to 8fps... I was also using the 95mb/s Sandisk cards...

It was the first time shooting motorsports with my Fuji gear and regrettably I didn't think to take along the battery booster grip. I found my frame rate dropped in times I didn't expect it to... I know it probably can't compare to my experience with the 5D3 and 100-400mkI, but I felt it the XT-2 could have done a little better... This is by no means my normal genre so I don't expect to have the perfect setup for this type of shooting. I mostly shoot wildlife with the 100-400 and even landscapes believe it or not. Shooting birds in burst does feel the same as shooting a fast moving car and I feel the Fuji system does fine for shooting birds...

I had bursts of 8 frames and didn't experience any slowdown (where it felt I could have kept the shutter pressed longer), but I also had times where it felt like I could barely get more than 3... I am thinking the autofocus might have been the issue, but unsure as it didn't appear to be hunting...

I am going to shoot another event in the fall and debating if I should invest in the faster UHS-II cards. But I am not convinced the cards I have now are the bottleneck.

Do you Format your cards in camera after each use?

that card isnt very fast so you probably hit the buffer a few times and slowed up shooting trying to dump off the images to the slower card. get a UHSII card and try again

yeah, unless I only take 1 or 2 exposures... But pretty sure they were formatted before shooting that day.

Once you nail down your set up, you can always test it if you can get a view on a highway.

Depending on how much it matters, this is where the XT3 shines and for a single event, rental can be a good option.
