Fujifilm X-E3 TCSTV review

TheCameraStoreTV just uploaded their Fujifilm X-E3 Review. Check it out and enjoy it. One of the most interesting aspects, is how the new AF tracking algorithm works… and it seems to be great.

  • AF tracking: Jordan played with it in low light and was impressed. Excellent focussing camera. Definitely a step up over X-T20.
  • great walk-around camera
  • when moving eye to EVF the X-E3 has a delay switching from LCD to EVF. Could be faster

Fujinon Lens Rentals Skyrocketed Showing 96% Increase in 2017

Share

Things seem to go quite well for Fujifilm.

Their imaging division is healthy and registers “substantial increase in income“, some managers dream of 50% market share, and Fujifilm’s declared goal is to become Nr.1 mirrorless premium camera manufacturer within 2019.

Considering that from 2011 to 2013 Fujifilm sold overall only 700,000 X-series cameras, I’d say the company has made quite some significant step forwards from 2014 to 2017. The camera that changed everything, was the Fujifilm X-T1, which is now discontinued, and I dedicated an emotial farewell in this article.

And now we have some more significant data, that show that more and more people are looking at the Fuji X system.

According to data send out by lensrentals from the their press contact and reported by fstoppers, the Fujifilm X-system has seen huge rental increase in 2017. Fstoppers writes:

“Fuji lenses skyrocketed, showing 96 percent more rentals. Sony lenses also increased 22 percent, while Canon and Nikon decreased 8 and 10 percent, respectively.”

Some more significant data:

Thanks to FR reader VatArt Photo for spotting the news and sharing with us :)

A lot of the Fujinon glass (and cameras) is right now in offer, as well as Fujifilm GFX gear. Check it out below.

Fujifilm X100F

There is a long list of celebrities shooting Fujifilm, and now we can add another one: Ron Howard.

Ron Howard is currently working on the new Star Wars Movie “Solo: a Star Wars Story“, and he just posted am image on Instagram, where you can see how he rocks the Fujifilm X100F. Feel free to give him a warm welcome to the X side of life the Force over at his instagram here.

It’s nothing new, that Hollywood loves Fujifilm cameras. Ron Howard shoots the X100F. The official photos of the recent “Dunkirk” blockbuster had been taken with an X-Pro2 with XF18-135, the X100S was the travel camera of Hector, in the Movie ““Hector’s Search for Happiness” (which I saw in the airplane, when flying back from Cambodia) and the Fuji X-Pro1 was used in the Movie “The Neon Demon” by Nicolas Winding Refn. Another movie using Fujifilm X-T2 is Den of Thieves. X-series cameras are also used in TV series like Parenthood TV, The Last Ship and by lots of celebrities.

And here is an X100F roundup for you guys. Enjoy it.

INSANE DEAL: How to Save Up to $1,550 at BHphoto on Fujifilm GFX + Lenses… instead of “only” $1,000

Share

Save Up to $1,550

The official Fujifilm deals officially allow you to save up to $1,000 on the Fujifilm GFX + lens combination. For example, the Fujifilm GFX + GF110 is officially sold for $8,299 ($1,000 rebate).

But thanks to FR-reader Bobby, we now know how to save even more :)

First, add the GFX body only to your cart. Then go to your cart and click on “savings available”.

You will then see the full list of lenses you can add to the Fujifilm GFX (screenshot at the top of this article).

Select the lens you want to add. In my case, I added the Fujinon GF 110mmF2.

As you can see, once I added the GF 110mm, the final price for GFX body + lens is of $7,749 (see screenshot below) instead of $8,299. This means I save $1,550 instead of the offical $1,000.

I’ve tried with the other lenses, such as the GF23 and GF120, and it works there, too :)

So get the Fujifilm GFX at BHphoto here, and get it now… who knows how long this secret deal will go ;)
