Elia Locardi Meets Fujifilm Managers and Asks if there is Need for High Resolution Cameras, when 90% of Images Go on Instagram

Moments in Time

Elia Locardi is currently releasing a beautiful series of “moments in time” videos.

We can’t cover them all here, so we will focus only on episode 6, where he sits down with Fujifilm managers at dinner.

Check out the video down below.

I HOPE YOU WILL READ THIS: first thanks to the reader, who sent me the link to the videos. It’s people like you, who help my work a lot and keep FR on top of everything Fujifilm X and GFX.

HANG ON ONE MORE SENTENCE: To all other fellow FR-readers, whatever you spot that could be of interest for the Fuji community, you can send it to me via email (fujirumor@gmail.com), anonymous rumor box (on the right side of the page), or even personal message on facebook, twitter or instagram. As much effort as I put into FR, I simply can’t spot everything. Hence, your support is vital for keeping FR fast, fresh and interesting.

[UPDATE] I AM SORRY & TECHNICAL NOTE: Pop-Up Ads on Mobile FujiRumors. Working on Fix Now and Temporary Solution

[UPDATE: I do not get any re-directs anymore. Hope you also do not get them]

Fellow FR-readers.

Some (me included) started to get pop-up ads with re-directs on FujiRumors. This is extremely annoying!

Sure, FR needs ads to survive, but we NEVER allow pop up ads. In fact, we even banned ad providers in the past, who, against my clear instructions, sneaked in pop-up ads on FR anyway.

I still do not know the cause of the pop up ads this time, but I am looking into it and I hope I can find a quick solution.

So far my findings:

  • it happens only on smartphones running on iOS
  • it happens only using Safari browser
  • it happens also when you try to access FR via facebook (hence using the internal facebook browser)
  • [UPDATE] a reader told me Android has the same issue
  • [UPDATE] I got feedback from readers that other photography sites have the same issue too

Hence, as a temporary workaround, you can use Chrome or Firefox, to avoid pop ups (works at least on my iPhone SE).

Please use the comments, to let me know if you experience this issue too and let me know

  • on which device it happens
  • with which browser it happens
  • from which country you surf from

Once again, so sorry for the incovenience. I am the first and the most annoyed and frustrated at the moment.

I will now look into it hoping to be able to find the source and fix it quickly.

Fujifilm X-T3 vs Sony a7III, Buying Fujifilm on a Budget, Lenstip XF16mm f/2.8 review and Much More (Fuji X Cameras/Lens Roundup)

I do receive lots of email requests from fellow Fuji X shooters asking to be featured. And it is my pleasure to cut out regulary a space for you guys here on FujiRumors.

However, the requests are many, and the content on FujiRumors is overall very rich, so sometimes it takes a bit longer to be featured.

But I don’t forget any single one of you, and you’ll all be featured at some point. I just ask for a little bit of patience :).
