Another week has passed and again many X-shooters decided to share and to vote their favorite images on the Fujirumors facebook walk. As I’m just like the referee of this contest, I do not vote. So sometimes I’m a bit sorry that my personal favorite shots don’t gather enough likes… but as you know, de gustibus non est disputandum. So here is the selection of the most liked photos over at the FR-facebook wall.
Thanks to all X-shooters who shared their images and those who checked them out and voted. Feel free to keep it up.
enjoy your Sunday

Brian posted his latest attempts at reproducing some of the various in-camera film styles for the Fuji X-Trans models today. There are new Iridient Developer presets for the Standard/Provia, Vivid/Velvia and Soft/Astia film styles plus a new “neutral” preset based on producing as close to a colorimetrically accurate profile as possible using color reference chart measurements.
The new Iridient Developer X-Trans presets can be downloaded as a zip file here (zip file)
And Brian’s earlier X-Trans presets based on some ICC profiles posted to dpreview.com forums are still available as well:

These days, all eyes are set (deservedly) on the umpteenth version of Sony’s RX100, the RX100MIII. It’s crazy how frenetically Sony updates its products (see also the Sony A7-R-K-S).
That’s not really the same policy of Fuji. The X-PRO1 is about 2 ½ years old, and still hasn’t been replaced. And of the 13 X-cameras currently available, only 4 were replaced by newer models in about 3 years (X10=X20, XF1=XQ1, X-E1=X-E2, X100=X100S). Fujifilm seems to focus more on firmware updates to improve the performance of older cameras. This Kaizen philosophy might be bad for electronic imaging field of the company (which is still losing money), but it’s definitely good for us customers.
Now, one of the next cameras that could be replaced in foreseeable future is the X20. The X30 is rumored to come in “summer”, and, as the usually well informed xjrumo said months ago, the sensor will be bigger than the 1” sensor of the RX100III.
Another hint that the X30 could be in the pipeline: the silver X20 is already discontinued at BHphoto… and US stores that have some left in stock, are selling it now with a $50 price drop. Check it out at AmazonUS / BHphoto / Adorama / Pictureline.
And what do you think? Should Fuji follow Sony’s path and release udpated cameras with new (even minor) hardware changes more often (e.g. X-PRO1S)? Over at the Fujirumors facebook page Anurag said that Sony is “keeping up with the market“, while Olle said: “I myself value a brand that constantly keeps improving their current firmwares and meanwhile produces cameras with bigger improvements (x-t1) and great lenses. I work in a camera store and if its something the nex-users are asking for its the non existens nex lenses.“
So the question is, if it’s better to launch an X-PRO1S/T/N or whatever, instead of waiting 3 years for the “major breakthrough” promised by Fuji with the X-PRO2.
stay tuned
