It… might… not… be… just… a… HYPE!

Maybe the Fujifilm X-T2 Autofocus is really blazing fast!

But let’s go step by step:

Do you know Nathan Wright (ohm-image.net)… yep, the one, who wrote the Novoflex Review series for Fujirumors. Well, if you followed him in the comments here on FujiRumors in the past, then you will know he had no fear to criticize Fujifilm, also very hard, whenever he thought that Fuji deserves it.

Well, Nathan had the chance to put his hands on a production X-T2, and here is what he just shared on Twitter:

AF SUPERFAST

If even Nathan says it, a photographer, who was never scared in the past to criticize Fujifilm under several aspects, then I start to believe that all this is not just a hype!

And that’s not all.

FXF member HendrikOsula tested both, the Fujifilm X-T2 and X-Pro2, at the Summer Biathlon World Championships 2016. And he says here that the “X-T2 is kicking X-Pro2s butt […] I completely missed only few shots out of hundreds!” For his full report (and images) click here. NOTE: don’t forget the X-Pro2 will get the new algorithm in October, too.

Moreover, the very popular French site lesnumeriques (translation) says that the AF of the X-T2 is “formidable” and “it is also excellent in low light“. Overall they consider the X-T2 a “rival for the most impressive DSLRs!”

The Fujifilm X-T2 is Shipping Now… at Least at Some Stores :-)

I know, there is an official “shipping embargo” on the Fujifilm X-T2 set at September 8. And yes, we also know it since this post, that Fujifilm already shipped the X-T2 to stores.

Well, it seems that some stores are just as excited to ship the camera, as customers are excited to finally get it. So it’s the case of Canadian Californian Store OC Camera, who officially said on their instagram page here:

“Now Available FujiFilm X-T2 Mirrorless Digital Camera at OC Camera!! We already had our good friend @chrisdiset pick up the first one to come in stock so be sure to stop by today or check out our website“

thanks for the link ;)

BREAKING :: The Fujifilm X100T Successor Will Be Called Fujifilm X100F

Fujifilm X100F

Fujifilm X100F

I know many of you guys are eagerly awaiting rumors about the X100T successor… so here is what I have for you today. I’ve been informed by a New Source (thanks) that the successor of the Fujifilm X100T will be called Fujifilm X100F.

As I told you in this rumor, the expected release for the X100F is 2017. The successor of the X100T was originally planed for Photokina 2016, but after the Kumamoto earthquake in Japan (which affected heavily the Sensor factory), Fujifilm had to deal with a shortage of X-TransIII sensor. So they decided to first focus on the Fujifilm X-T2 and use all the sensors available for the X-T2. Once everything goes back to normal and there will be enough X-TransIII sensors again, then Fujifilm can also release the X100F (in 2017)

cheers

Written for Kelly Williams Photography by Rick Birt of RomeoBravoPhoto.com

I recently had the honor of documenting the union of Anna and Hayden Taylor. They are a cute and fun couple, and I thoroughly enjoyed shooting them. I should also mention that Anna’s mother, Charla, was kind enough to provide me with a shot list, and kept everything running smoothly that day. It was arranged to be an intimate ceremony with close family in the living room of the Groom’s parents’ home. It all sounded like the perfect scenario for photographing my first wedding.

So was it all rainbows and unicorns? Not quite…

I had just switched from a Sony a7R II camera to a Fuji X-Pro2 the month before. I absolutely love the Fuji, but I still haven’t mastered it like the Sony. Moreover, I got a bad copy of the 16-55mm zoom-lens and was in the middle of an exchange – so I didn’t have it for the ceremony. Therefore, I went looking for a second body. I almost bought another X-Pro2, but I got a great deal on an Olympus Pen-F and two prime lenses the night before the big day. Suffice it to say, I had not mastered the Olympus either.

As for lighting, I purchased an on-camera speedlight, a Diva ring-light, and a small LED continuous light array. My wife also suggested I bring her light-gun, so I stopped by her studio on the way to meeting the bride, and her mother, at the salon. When I got to my wife’s studio she told me her light gun was “in the attic.” So I proceeded up the stairs to a little loft area where she keeps some of her equipment.

She then asked, “What are you doing?”

I explained, “I’m looking for the light-gun.”

She then said, “It’s in the attic – at home.”

Great :/

So, I grabbed a couple of her Westcott Ice lights and off I went.

The salon was very nice, but was pretty crowded (which I’m sure is normal for a Saturday), so it was hard to find a good shooting position, but I managed to get a few nice portraits.
