Fujifilm just released the new edition (25) of their interactive Fujifilm X Magazine.

You can check it out online here or download the Free iPhone App here or Free Andoid App.

Creative tools like the FUJIFILM X-H1 don’t come along every day. We asked four photographers and a filmmaker what they thought of the new camera when they used it on assignment, and the results are impressive. We also look at Film Simulation Modes in this issue, visit Antarctica with the GFX 50S, and explore how to get sharper pictures without buying any new equipment.

As reported at our fuji-x-forum here and by FR-readers to me directly via email (fujirumor@gmail.com), Fujifilm will close their Fujifilm X World site on April 30 (which also offered 5GB of free cloud storage, that will be deleted soon).

The new site will be called fujifilm-connect.com.

This change will affect only EU and AUS X-shooters. US support is still at fujifilmusa.com.

Here is the full email Fuji X shooters have received, and shared for all of us at the fuji-x-forum here.

A very important change to our warranty registration process for digital cameras and lenses comes into effect today, 5 April 2018. Following feedback from our customers we are proud to launch FUJIFILM Connect – a website that lets FUJIFILM X Series and GFX system photographers register their equipment for warranty, arrange repairs and provides you with everything you need to know as a Fujifilm owner, in one place.

The new FUJIFILM Connect website will replace our existing online warranty registration form. If you have already registered products that are still within the warranty period for your country of purchase, don’t worry, this remains unaffected and you will still be eligible for the remaining warranty. However, we recommend that you create a new account on FUJIFILM Connect and upload details of your existing Fujifilm kit and receipt for safe keeping. If you purchase any new digital camera equipment in the future, you will need to register this on FUJIFILM Connect for warranty purposes.

FUJIFILM Connect will be replacing the current FUJIFILM X World website which is due to close on 30 April 2018. If you have taken advantage of the free 5GB cloud storage on FUJIFILM X World, we strongly recommend that you create a backup of these images as soon as possible.

JJC is offering a practical (and cheap) dual USB battery charger for Fujifilm NP-W126/S batteries.

It is just as compact as Fuji’s own battery charger, with the difference that you can charge 2 batteries at the same time via USB. The best news: it costs 1/3 of the Fuji charger :) .

Given that USB charging ports are now widely available on trains, airplanes, cars and more, this could be a good solution for travellers, who want to charge 2 batteries at the same time while on the road.

It is now avaialble at AmazonUS, AmazonCA, AmazonDE, AmazonUK, AmazonIT, AmazonFR, AmazonES.

Here are the main specs:

• Powered by USB sources, can be used with AC adapter, laptop, power bank or car charger
• Dual channel for charging batteries, allow you to charge 2 batteries simultaneously
• Dual LED charging indicators : Indicate red when charging and green when charging is complete
• The charger is also with overheat and overcharge protection to prevent damage on your batteries
• Fits Fujifilm NP-W126S NP-W126 battery and NP-W126S NP-W126 replacement from third party. Replaces Fujifilm BC-W126 Charger

Thanks to the FR-reader for informing us last week via email [fujirumor@gmail.com] about it.

JJC Dual Battery Charger for Fujifilm: AmazonUS, AmazonCA, AmazonDE, AmazonUK, AmazonIT, AmazonFR, AmazonES

There are also other dual USB battery charging options, such as the OAproda 2 Pack here, but it’s significantly bigger.

And remember:

• Finally: Fujifilm NP-W126S Third Party Battery Available!
• Get rid of the cables, with the SF Cable Angle Plug Adapter!
