Hi
I'm trying to persuade my daughter not to buy a Fuji X-S20 without at least considering a Zf.
Her reasons for wanting one are basically video and the straight from camera jpeg recipes.
Has anyone got (or know where to find) jpegs that come from the Zf set up to be like a Fuji film simulation?
I'm looking for good jpegs straight from camera without editing.
My argument for the Zf is dual memory slots and a better autofocus system which would be important for when she does events work, which she does sometime do, and because she can adapt the F-mount lenses that we already have.
I appreciate that the Fuji recipes are actually very good, but it seems to be the only stand out feature of them and I think that she might outgrow it.
thanks

I have some in my 2026 album, but I cannot call them straight from camera due to resizing smaller and adding my watermark. My BW photos usually are using the camera profiles and not desaturated in post. I have a bunch of color recipes installed and use them sparingly.


The day I shot the log cabins I did use a vintage color film recipe I downloaded as well as my custom higher-contrast red filter BW recipe.

FYI: you don't need a Zf to use these recipes. Z6-III, Z5-II, and other current bodies have the same custom color profiles features. And a little bit less sophisticated versions of custom color profiles go back 15 years on DSLR bodies. They have to be accessed in the setup menu, but there.

Easiest way to do this is share my Nikon Image Space created just to share these samples. I shot 12 of my Picture Control profiles, and I have a couple dozen more at least. Most of the built-in ones are not my taste. This is basically the same scene of a playground from a distance for each photo. I did not really have time to walk in closer. Images are direct from camera, no changes other than the titles.


A great many Picture Control profiles can be downloaded here for pretty much any DSLR or Z-series made in the last 15 years.
