About my New Fujifilm X-E3 and About JPEG only in Full Auto Mode

Fujifilm X-E3… All Good :)

As you might know, back in December 2017 I purchased a silver X-E3 as well as two Fujinon lenses. I have explained in a first impression article why I picked the X-E3 and not the X-T20, X-T2 or even the Fujifilm X-H1. You can read it here.

I also told you, though, that I was having 2 issues with my X-E3

  • sticky joystick
  • SD-card not recognized sometimes

Of course I didn’t make a big drama out of it. I just went to my local store and asked for replacement.

Sadly, it took them almost a month to get a new X-E3, because of the holidays and also because they said the X-E3 is selling well, so Fujifilm is a bit slow in delivering and fulfilling the demand.

But now it’s here, my new Fujifilm X-E3, and this time it comes all in black.

I promised you an update, as soon as I get my new X-E3, and here it is: I am happy to report that, at least until now, everything seems to work just fine. The joystick isn’t sticky and the SD-card has, so far, always been recognized by the camera.

X-E3 Review?

I will see if I can find some time to write a comprehensive review, but time is not really what I have at the moment, since basically almost every spare minute of my life goes into FujiRumors, due to the imminent announcements of the Fujifilm X-A5 and XC15-45 on January 31 and the huge announcement of the Fujifilm X-H1 on February 15.

The weeks after that, will be even more busy, in order to cover properly all the Fujifilm X-H1 news and reviews here on FujiRumors.

But I’m excited by the good stuff coming from Fujifilm, so I’m 100% motivated to give you guys the best Fujifilm coverage in the known universe ;) .

Auto Geotagging

The review might come later… but for now…

… I have written a detailed article about one of the new features of the Fujifilm X-E3, the auto-geotagging.

I have received great feedback about it and many readers told me it helped them to make it work not only properly, but also quickly. Feel free to read it here.

Full Auto Shooting why JPEG only?

Fujifilm Sponsored TCSTV Movie Shot with “Unreleased Gear” Screening at Movie Theater on February 16. Fujifilm X-H1 Film?

Wooden Niccolls

FR-reader and X-shooter Allen (Images on instagram) noticed something watching the latest TCSTV live stream.

TheCameraStoreTV will be screening a new “Wooden Niccolls” episode (short films they do to mimic movie scenes and test/review gear) at a movie theater on big screen in Canada next month.

They just said they used some gear that hasn’t been released yet, so they can’t talk about it.

But here is why the FR-reader thinks (and me too), that it could be the Fujifilm X-H1:

Guys, if that’s not a movie taken with the Fujifilm X-H1, then….

… I promise…

… that I will shoot SEPIA only for an entire month! :)

All details about the “Wooden Niccolls Movie” here.

everything will be real soon… stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter
