The Fuji Guys compare the Fujifilm X-T20 vs the X-T2.
If you are new to the Fujifilm world, and would like to get a basic overview over the main differences between these two cameras, then you might find this video useful.
Right at the beginning, Billy says that the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-T20 are their most popular cameras (but we know the Fujifilm X-E3 will change that :) )
The video was shot in 4K with the Fujifilm X-T20 (4K with half line skipping, so no full resolution, but also no crop). Oh, and Billy, keep up your fight with Japan for 4K in X-Pro2 :) . You can check out the full Fuji Guys video on youtube here.
The 5 best travel tripods: great carbon fiber stands for your camera at techradar
Shameless use of FujiRumors (and your time) for a personal tripod help request
2 weeks ago I travelled for the first time 7 days (through South Italy) without a tripod. I sold mine to a friend (whom I also convinced to purchase a Fujifilm X-T20).
As you can see me here, I sometimes missed my old tripod (even though I had the XF 18-135 with an insane OIS – the other lenses I brought with me where the 35/1.4 and 12 Samyang) . Now I’m looking for a compact and light carbon travel tripod to replace it… recommendations welcome in the comments.
My Top Tripod Criteria:
No super expensive tripods: I’m a low-budget backpack traveller. So I often travel in cheap trains and busses, sleep in hostel dormitories and so forth. I don’t want to have a $1000 Gitzo tripod in my bag. I’d be afraid to leave my bag alone even to go to the toilet, scared it gets stolen. I’m ready to pay a fair price for a good tripod, but no super expensive options.
Compact: Damn… so it happens also to me… I’m getting older. And I now appreciate every space and weight I can safe while travelling. So only compact solutions will be considered for my pruchase (and since I travel with a light mirrorless camera and small lenses, it does not have to be the sturdiest tripod on earth).
I read the techradar article I’ve linked above… but it would be great if you would list your favorite light carbon fiber tripod in the comments below.
Finally… TheCameraStore published their Fujifilm GFX 50s review from Tokyo… and it seems they like the GFX a lot (unlike the Hasselblad X1D). Commercial photographer Brent Taylor joins for the last part of the review. He uses the Fujifilm GFX 50s on assignment and likes it so much, that at the end he says: “I’m very impressed… switching to Fuji”
Here are some tidbits:
comfortable handling and controls
they mention the “quite light and compact” GF 45mm F2.8 (min. 5:25)… which is currently on the roadmap and coming soon. So they might have seen (and maybe tested) a Beta version of it in Japan… or maybe they just assume it will be as light and compact as the GF 63
in daylight, single focus is very quick and accurate. In low light, AF slows down, but still very accurate. Continous AF too slow and hunts.
Fujinon glass beautiful bokeh
GFX shoots incredible stable photos (low shutter vibration). You can get very sharp shots at slow shutter speeds. Good handheld camera, but he also says, that to take the most out of the big sensor it in low light, you better use a tripod.
touch screen is responsive
focal plane shutter is a big advantage. You can adapt a lot of other glass
the design is practical, looks professional, but lacks of classic beautiful retro design
positively surprised by the batter life
You can see them using Godox flash (which I remind you can do HSS and TTL)
Colors really good
“lot’s of meat in the files” – lot’s of dynamic range, sharpness etc.
for street and travel, camera is too big and heavy (although considering it’s size, it’s a light camera)

Killer combo: GFX 50s + Capture One Pro 10
I posted this pic 3 months ago. The Super Fine JPG file could show the hairlines of fireworks. With Capture One Pro 10, it can extract even the micro hairlines between hairlines!
Lens: GF32-64 @32mm
