POLL: Which Fujifilm System Do You Own?

In my multimillion dollar deal with Fujifilm Japan*, FujiRumors has, per contract, to at least once a year conduct a marketing research to see which systems the FujiRumors fellowship owns.

You can see the results of last year here in case you are curious to know how things have evolved over the last year.

  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Any X or GFX gear you have on pre-order qualifies you as an “owner”. So for example if your first Fujifilm camera ever is the Fujifilm X-H2S but you are still waiting to get it shipped, you qualify as an X series owner.

* I’ve never received nor will ever receive a single penny from Fujifilm (nor free or discounted gear), so rest assured that FujiRumors is and will remain a space 100% independent from Fujifilm

I currently own the following systems.... (NOTE: pre-ordered gear qualifies you as "Owner")

Did the Fujifilm X-H2S do the Trick? Or Investigating if Fuji’s PSAM Dial Cameras Brought New Customers into the X System – SURVEY

Fujifilm has often said that PSAM cameras like the Fujifilm X-H2S and X-S10 serve the purpose to attract new customers into the X system.

So I was curious about this and thought that we can investigate if, at least here among the FujiRumors community, Fuji’s plan to bring new photographers into the X system thanks to PSAM dial cameras actually worked.

Feel free to vote the survey down below.

Iridient Developer 3.7.1 and X-Transformer 2.5.1 Updates Fix Fujifilm X-H2S Files Loading Error

Brian has released Iridient Developer 3.7.1 and X-Transformer 2.5.1 updates  today.

These updates contain just a single fix for loading errors that  could occur with some RAF images from the new Fujifilm X-H2S. The X-H2S seems to occasionally store RAF images in lossless compressed mode that contain an invalid RAW metadata field. This incorrect RAF metadata information would cause file validation to fail in Iridient applications and these files would give errors on loading.

The root cause would seem to be a firmware bug with the X-H2S as some RAF files with the same compression format from the same camera body/firmware have correct information and others don’t. So far Brian hasn’t been able to determine any specific trigger causing the bad information to be written. A workaround was found where Brian could just ignore the problematic data and determine the same information using an alternate method that allows these RAF images to be loaded successfully.

The Iridient X-Transformer 2.5.1 update (macOS and Windows) is available here.

Iridient Developer 3.7.1 (macOS only) can be downloaded here.
