The video above demonstrates an often overlooked Fujifilm feature (Sony for example does not have it) that helps reducing editing time on the computer
One thing I appreciate of Fujifilm cameras, is that they offer a series of features that allow me to significantly reduce my editing time.
That’s a big deal for me. When I go on holiday with my family, I love the lightness of just shooting freely—taking tons of pictures without the burden of knowing I’ll have to spend hours editing once I’m back home. That peace of mind makes photography more enjoyable, because every click feels like a memory captured, not another task waiting for me on the computer.
And Fujifilm cameras have three features I find especially useful for the purpose of reducing editing on the computer—some well-known, others surprisingly overlooked and that Sony for example does not offer on their cameras.
So let’s start with the most “famous” one, even though the other two are no less important.
One of the huge critics to the Fujifilm X-E5 was the LCD screen that, at least on paper, did sound disappointing and made some people outrageously upset.
Well, that was at least until we found out that the on paper superior LCD screen of the Sony A7CR is actually worst than the on paper weaker screen of the Fujifilm X-E5, for the reasons we reported here.
Another spec on paper that triggered anger among the community was the EVF, which is the one of the Fujifilm X-T50 but many got mad about it not being bigger and having a higher resolution.
Well, that’s the same concern that Rumle Skafte had (first video below), as he wears glasses and uses the EVF 99% of the time, especially when he works in theater.
So, how did the EVF perform?
Not only he had no issue with it even wearing glasses, but he even loved some aspects of it, namely the new classic display mode (an instant favorite).
You can read the summary of his video and watch his creatively edited video below.
And there will be more reviews below.

The Fuji Guys have just published a comprehensive Fujifilm X-E5 how-to guide on YouTube.
As a future X-E5 owner myself (hopefully not a too distant future, given its reported high pre-orders), I diligently looked at the entire video to get to know my future camera.
There are many features I am looking forward on my X-E5, from the film simulation dial to the super-customizable front lever, IBIS and more.
And one feature I am particularly intrigued about is the new, neat and cleanclassic display mode, which I believe will be my go-to setting in future.
Well, it comes surprising to me that the new classic display mode will be available only in the EVF and not on the LCD.
I don’t know if nobody has ever mentioned that until now, or if I somehow just missed this tidbit so far.
But if you were unaware of it (like me) consider this your friendly heads-up before you start wondering why the LCD won’t show it. ;)
Today we have a few reviews about the brand new Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 DC ART lens.
Below I will share some video reviews, but I know some (not me) think that “influencers” are biased and might praise it just because of their connections to Sigma (and the benefits that might result from that).
So I recommend to check out also the reviews of those, who actually purchased a unit with their hard earned money. And we see, they also seem very happy with it:
The Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 DC Art is now available for order at Amazon US via official Sigma retailer Digital Goja (list of official Sigma retailers here) with earliest shipping August 17.
Especially the Fujifilm X mount version of the Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 is experience shortages. It’s backordered at B&H & Co with Adorama estimating stock in October only.
