Let’s Enjoy the Mirrorless Price War – Last Day (Maybe) to Save $1,000 on Fujifilm X/GFX Gear

Share

eXtended X/GFX Deals

In theory, this is the last day of Fujifilm X and GFX deals. I say in theory, as lately Fujifilm (and all other manufacturers), just keep up chronically discounting all their gear. See for example:

The drastically shrinking camera market triggered a battle for survivor, which is surely stressful for companies, but it’s mostly good for us customers, as this competition gives us innovation and the latest and greatest at a cheaper price than ever.

There is a downside, though, also for customers, as this inevitably means that our lovely gear loses value faster.

But if you were looking at your gear as an “investment“, then here is a tip: electronic goods are never good for that. You don’t even have time to unbox your brand new gear at home, that it already lost value.

Is there a thing in life that has only Pros? Well, let me know if there is, because I still haven’t found it. And so it is in the case of the deals. We can decide to be annoyed by the Cons, or just try to enjoy the Pros of it.

With that said, down below is the full list of deals, that will end on January 5th, but in some shape or form will come back surely later this year.

5) Type D lens is not supported, AF is impossible with this adapter,EXIF is recorded.
6) Lens VR/OIS support
7) Support 35mm format mode of GFX
8) F-mount lenses AF performs better than EF lenses on GFX due to different AF driving mode.

Also, they say:

BTW: A high AF performance FW update will be available in Q1, 2020 for FUJIFILM cameras , especially for GFX 100s and latest FX cameras

It’s unclear if he refers to further improvements to the adapter, or to a Fujifilm firmware improvement for Fujifilm GFX100.

Let’s Get to Know Each Other: Share Your Instagram in the Comments

Instagram

Back in the days, I made this Instagram account, that I never used.

However, one day I noticed how, even without sharing anything, 100 people started following me.

To honor the first 100 FR instagram follower pioneers, I started slowly to share some tidbits on my Instagram account.

But I made a choice:

I could do like other rumor sites, and focus on gear porn (which is absolutely fine and great), or give it a more personal touch.

I knew that the first would guarantee a faster grow, but I went for the second one, as I’d like to keep my Instagram space more personal.

Hence, on Instagram you could:

And I am very happy, that in a relatively short period of time, 7,800 people decided to join me on Instagram.

For the future, I will keep it this way: mostly personal images, not too many posts, and more of personal touch as opposed to my facebook page and twitter page, which are great ways to keep track of all the buzz.

If you want, head over to my Instagram, and give it a follow.

Also…

with 2020 just started, I thought this post could be also a great opportunity to get to know each other.

How? Well, share your instagram account here in the comments of FujiRumors, so that we can check out each others work. It might be nice also to give it a little description, such as “I focus on travel photography” or “I love black and white photography“.

So, welcome all, to another Fuji year 2020. :)

Fujifilm X-Pro3: What No One Noticed Explained by Palle Schultz

Share

Fujifilm X-Pro3

It’s been a while since Palle Schultz made his last video, but he is finally back, with in this hands the most controversial camera of 2019: the Fujifilm X-Pro3.

And he is back to tell us some things, that nobody noticed about it.

  • if left eye shooters use X-Pro3, their nose finally does not touch the display anymore
  • when you shoot, you don’t raise curiosity of people around you, who want to see what’s going on on the display
  • no display light shining on your face when you take down the camera
  • he likes that sort of “privacy” and the non intrusive aspect of not having a display telling him all the time what he is doing
  • he likes the removal of the D-pad. Less buttons, less interference. Less buttons you can accidentally push
  • it’s not possible to shoot more simple, with such an advance camera
  • he lost interest in shooting analogue, because of X-Pro3, as he gets the same sort of experience with it, without the hassle of getting and developing the film
