Capture One Express 7 released

I know you are all waiting for the Lightroom 4.4 release candidate. In response to the comments here, my source didn’t confuse the C1-express 7 version with the LR 4.4 RC. It’s just, I should have been more precise: it should be released Monday in the USA, and Tuesday in Europe (obviously because of the time difference).

In the meantime Capture One released the Express 7 version with Fuji support for €69 or $99 or download the trial version here.

thanks for the link, Albert.

dpreview (click here): “A stripped-down version of Capture One Pro, Capture One Express 7 gains features including HDR processing, lens correction and a new digital asset management tool. Express doesn’t support tethered shooting, but images can be viewed remotely and wirelessly using either the Capture Pilot iOS app or a web browser on other devices.” thanks again, MJr.

CameraDiner (Fuji UK interview / X20-X100s): Fujirumors-reader Amnon won “question of the week” contest

As promised, Paul of CameraDiner printed the questions you posted at Fujirumors here and asked some of them to Theo from Fujifilm UK. Take a look at the video to see if Theo answered to your question.

One of your questions was also chosen the “question of the week“. This means that Amnon won the VisibleDust prize asking:

“What happened to the 18-72 lens that initially appeared in the lens road-map and replaced with the 18-55? Were there technical issues, cost issues, weight issues that led to the scale-back?”

[Update: Thanks for contacting me via email Amnon… your email wasn’t a fake] I tried to contact you, Amnon, via email, but it seems that you put a fake email account in the FR-contact form. Therefore I’m asking you to contact me at fujirumor@gmail.com. To make sure that you are the Amnon I’m looking for, please write in your email the fake email account you entered in the FR-contact form in the comments.

That’s all… look at the video, and see if your question is one of those chosen by Paul from CameraDiner (youtube channel)!

Updated X-Photographers websites (with X100s and X20 samples)

To be frank: the X100s and X20 sample shots at Fuji’s website are not that good. I agree with MJR, who said in the comments: “I’m sorry Fuji but these are the worst samples ever. (at photographers fault) :( I’m heading back to http://fujifilm-x.com/photographers/en/ to feel better.”

So, take a look at the dedicated X-Photographers pages (with X100s and X20 samples) here. Just look worldwide for them!
