FujiRumors X Mas Giveaway

I hurried, I searched, I bought, and I had a little gift for everybody I love under my Christmas tree. Everybody, except for the wonderful community here on FujiRumors!

I thought about it, but it turned out to be a bit complicated to buy a present for all of you.

Hence, apart from promising you that I will give my best to deliver you 100% free, fast and fantastic breaking rumors and news also in 2019, I thought that at least one of you should get something.

So today I launch the FujiRumors BHphoto $100 Gift Card giveaway. Rules and details down below.

I grab this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and send a virtual hug to every single one of you reading these lines. And snap some nice pictures of this special day :).

Support Free Education

So, how much are $5 for us. Or maybe even $10 or $20? Probably not that much.

But for KNGO, the NGO that we support here on FujiRumors, even $5 can make the difference!

Hence, if you feel like you can get rid of a few bucks for a good cause, please consider donating it to our KNGO friends in Cambodia.

They help hundreds of the poorest kids to get access to free education. I have been there, I saw them working, and I guarantee it is money well spent!

Check out their website and go to their donation page to help them with a little donation .

Thanks to everyboy, who considers to donate a few dollars.

DPReviewTV Best and Worst of 2018: Fujifilm X-T3 Beats Sony A7III and Nikon Z6, but Fujifilm X-T100 and XF10 Fail

Best Gear 2018

Chris and Jordan from DPReviewTV just published their best and worst gear 2018 epsiode.

The GOOD News:

The Fujifilm X-T3 wins the award for the best camera of 2018, beating the full frame Sony A7III and Nikon Z6.

The Fujifilm X-T3 has already been declared best camera of 2018 by many big youtubers and blogs. Check out our recent best of 2018 overview here.

The BAD News:

The Fujifilm X-T100 has been declared worst video camera of 2018, with a useless 4K. The Fujifilm XF10 is the thrid worst camera of 2018. Bad and unreliable focussing. Slow, laggy.

Dear Fujifilm, this is what happens if you put an old and slow processor in cameras that otherwise would have a very nice sensor.

The MISSING News:

Strangly, not a single Fujinon lens makes it into the list.

I believe the Fujinon XF200mmF2 would have deserved a top spot, and not to forget the Fujinon XF8-16mmF2.8 or the Fujinon GF250mmF4.

And maybe also the medium format Fujifilm GFX50R should have gotten at least an honorable mention.

  1. Fujifilm X-T3
  2. Sony A7III
  3. Nikon Z6
