So What, Did FujiRumors Fall in Love with Fully Articulating Screens? Would a Fujifilm X-T5 with Selfie Screen be a Dealbreaker for You? POLL

3 Times I Loved the Selfie Screen

I lately shared a couple of posts on my Instagram page, showing images of myself making good use of the Selfie Screen on my Fujifilm X-T4.

So what, did I join the “dark side” and fell in love with fully articulating screens as some have suggested?

Well, not really.

The whole point of these posts was just to show that, in rare cases, a fully articulating screen really simplifies the composition of an image.

So here are 3 times I loved the fully articulating screen on my X-T4 as it allowed me to take a picture that would have been much more complicated and cumbersome to take with any other screen.

The Advantage of APS-C over Full Frame… or How to Instantly Become the Most Hated Guy on Photography Forums ;)

Italian professional photographer Andrea Jump Cimini is a man on a mission: become the most hated guy on photography forums ;).

So how is he going to achieve that?

Well, by telling you which advantages APS-C has over Full Frame especially for event photography in low light.

With 2,700 subscribers only (but quickly and well deserved growing), Sony and Canon probably still did not fly that guy around at fancy and fun events nor spoil him by giving him pre-production gear to test. So, out of the control of big corporation he speaks something rare to find these days: his honest and un-biased opinion ;).

The video is Italian, so if you understand Italian, watch the video below. If not, we have a summary for you guys.

IMPORTANT Messages to all Sources (and FR-readers): Contact Box didn’t send out mails for Months (but Now it’s Fixed)

Today I found out that the contact box that sources use to contact me anonymously and also regular FR-readers use to drop me news and interesting tidbits, did not work since August!

If you used it, you got the message that the email was sent but indeed it was NOT.

I contacted Andrea from SonyAlphaRumors (he uses our same platform) and he confirmed it is not working also for him.

So we now went ahead and fixed it.

IMPORTANT: If you have used the rumor box between early August to now, I have not received what you have sent me. Please feel free to send me your messages again. I will catch up with what I have lost in these months if you re-send me anything.
