“Brides Magazine” Says Only Full Frame Canon & Nikon Should be Used for Weddings…. Anyone Out there Using Fuji X for Weddings? ;)

Weddings with Fuji X? No Way!

Ok… so I’m hiring a wedding photographer, who will have the important responsibility to capture forever one of the most important days in my life: my wedding.

As a client, what are the essential questions I need to ask my potential wedding photographer?

Brides Magazine (a huge magazine and website) made a list of question that should help us (the clients) to make a well thought-out decision… but especially the answer to one of the question is creating quite a buzz right now.

If the client asks: “What gear do you use?” the answer of the photographer should be “Full Frame Canon or Nikon“. However, after the story broke at Petapixel, Brides Magazine quickly changed the sentence, which now says: “Ideally, your photographer would use the most readily available professional camera…”

Ok guys… it’s their opinion. But also mirrorless can do the job these days. So just share in the comments your experience about using X-series cameras for weddings.

btw, it happens that I live in a rented apartment over a very popular wine cellar, that hosts a wedding almost every weekend in the “wedding-season”. I always look down to the photographer, but, until now, I only saw Canon’s and Nikon’s (as you can see in this image). I’m still patiently waiting to see the first X-shooter wedding photographer… and when this happens, then yes, that guy shouting from the balcony that You Rock!!!… that guy will be me ;).

DPReview Awards 2016 :: “Fujifilm X-T2 and Nikon D500 Way in Front of the Rest” :: X-A3 Best Entry Level ILC

Fujifilm X-T2 Vs. Nikon D500

DPReview decalred the best gear of 2016.

In the “Best High-end ILC” category it was a close race between the Fujifilm X-T2 and the Nikon D500. At the end the Nikon D500 won at the photo finish. The Nikon D500 has also been declared the overall “Product of the Year

It was a two-horse race in this category, with two products way out in front of the rest of the pack (do horses run in packs?). The Fujifilm X-T2 came a close second place to take the runner-up spot in this category. DPReview staff praised its portability, ergonomics and image quality.”

Fujifilm X-A3 Best Entry Level ILC

The Fujifilm X-A3 has been declared the “Best Entry Level ILC 2016

The winner of this category is the Fujifilm X-A3. While not as feature-laden as its higher-end X-series peers, the 24MP, WiFi-equipped X-A3 is a great camera for someone just starting out in photography. It offers plenty of scope for beginners to grow, without being confusing or intimidating to use.”

Instax Share SP-2 Printer Best Accessory

The Fujifilm Instax Share SP-2 Printer won the “Accessory of the Year Award 2016“:

It wasn’t even close, the second generation Fuji Instax Share SP-2 printer was our favorite accessory of 2016. Why? Because there’s just nothing quite like holding a physical image in your hands. Faster and sleeker than the original and with more printing options, the SP-2 can easily link up with Fujifilm cameras or print from a compatible phone or tablet.”
