New Fujifilm NP-W126 MK II Battery will Generate Less Heat (Trusted Source)

Fujifilm NP-W126

Fujifilm NP-W126 MK II

I’ve received the rumor (from trusted source) that the new Fujifilm NP-W126 batteries will handle heat better. Less heat generation allows us to shoot 4K and use the full power of the X-T2 (via “boost” function on the Vertical Grip).

I remind you that Fuji Guy Billy said here, the X-Pro2 can’t shoot 4K, because it can’t dissipate heat properly.

No word about higher capacity batteries.

End of the Rumor

As far as I know (but correct me if I’m wrong), the main sources of heat generation are:

  • Sensor
  • Processor
  • Batteries
  • Writing on SD-cards
  • Screen/EVF

Heat disspiation is a major problem with mirrorless cameras. Fujifilm could solve all problems, by making the X-T2 camera body significantly larger, but most of us love the compact size of the X-series mirroless cameras.

Also, if you want to maximize the power of the X-T2, you can’t really minimize the heat generated by the sensor, processor, EVF refresh rate or SD-card writing process. So the only thing left where Fujifilm could work on in order to solve the heat-issue are the batteries.

TESTED: Third Party Fuji Batteries? “Inflated capacity values. Some batteries almost Fraud!”… and the Winner is…?

Medium Format Fuji :: To Be Launched along with 3 Lenses! (with POLL) – Source Right in the Past

Medium Format Fuji

Medium Format Fuji

Before we talk about the Medium Format Fuji, let me say just this: it’s undeniable, Hasselblad caused a sensation with the Hasselblad X1D, the first “compact” Mirrorless Medium Format Camera.

It’s great to see a company, that many declared as dead, come back with such an awesome product.

It’s also great to know that the future Medium Format Fuji will have a strong competitor. The X1D has set the bar now. Now it’s up to Fujifilm to beat Hasselblad’s MF offer.

And speaking of Medium Format Fuji, I have an update for you today, coming from a source, who was right in the past.

The source says that, at the moment, Fujifilm plans to release the Medium Format Fuji along with 3 lenses.

Keep in mind: early rumor, grain of salt, you know the story… but enough for us to have fun speculating :-)

Which 3 lenses should Fujifilm launch?

I’ll share a Poll now, but just a very vague one, asking you how many primes or zooms you’d like to accompany the MF Fuji. Drop your vote and then feel free to specify the desired focal length and speed in the comments.

To keep it simple, express your wish in FF equivalent terms.

cheers

Fujifilm X-T2 Image Leaked

I’ve tried to inform you as good as I can about the upcoming Fujiflm X-T2. And thanks to our sources, I think we did a quite good job. But something was missing: the first image taken with Fujifilm X-T2 leaked on the internet… and every great rumor-marathon just needs at least one :-)

Luckily I have very attentive readers, and one of them just send me a link to this dailymail article (thanks Marc SolarSky). Marc took a look at the EXIF data of the image showing a father that fans his son during a hot L.A. Dodger game (see the image and EXIF), and he noticed that it was taken with the Fujfiilm X-T2.

The image has been taken by Richard Vogel, Photo Editor for the Associated Press. Richard Vogel is also on Instagram. I wouldn’t be surprised if some images there are taken with the Fujifilm X-T2, too :-).
