DPReview has just announced they will be closing DPReview.com forever.
This is a very sad news for the photography community. Something I guess nobody saw coming nor thought would ever be possible.
Also their youtube channel will shut down.
We can just wish all the best to the people working on DPR. I am sure your competence and knowledge will be appreciated and needed on other platforms, that will be happy to see you join their team. In fact, Chris and Jordan joined PetaPixel already.
The new Benro Theta Travel Tripod has collected over 1 million Dollars on Kickstarter in just 10 days and it’s still cashing in lots of money.
Check out what makes this travel tripod so special and if you want get it with huge launch discount at Kickstarter here.

For us long time Fujifilm lovers, Fujifilm manager Toshihisa Iida (the manager who said Fujifilm will NEVER go Full Frame) was arguably the most representative face of the Fujiflm X/GFX series of the last 10 years.
Sadly for us (but congratulations to him), Toshi left the electronic imaging division once he got promoted to President and Managing Director at Fujifilm Europe back in 2020.
I must admit I was a bit worried when the Toshi left, as I felt that the Fujifilm X/GFX series was in safe hands as long as he was in charge.
He did run the business with huge dedication, passion and vision, as can also be seen in this in this brilliant documentary (MUST WATCH !!!), that gives an intimate look into his life and work as imaging director.
I honestly thought it would be hard to replace a manager like Toshihisa Iida.

New Gear vs. New Travel
Something amazing is going to happen in April.
I hear you say: “easy, it’s the huge Fujifilm X Summit with exciting new gear announcements!”
Well yeah, I know Fujifilm officially announced the X Summit for April… but I don’t mean that. It’s something even better than rumors or new gear (at least for me). ;)
In April I will fly together with my wife and 2 year old son to Paris for a couple of days! It’s my wife’s birthday present to me.
No X Summit on earth can stop me to finally visiting Paris for the first time in my life.
And since I guess many of you have already been to Paris (or live in Paris), I thought I could make shameless use of this blog to ask for some advice.
Your Tips
I am aware that we are all in the grips of our busy daily lives. So huge thanks to anybody who can carve out some time from your day to give me some advice.
Gear Questions:
What was your most used Fujifilm gear on your Paris travel?
I travel only with carry on bag. I plan to travel with my Peak Design Travel Tripod. I am not sure if tripods are allowed as carry on on a plane. Anyone ever tried it and experienced problems?
Photo Tips:
feel free to share images or links to your images of Paris in the comments down below… as a little inspiration for me :)
if possible, share details about the location where you took the images and the gear you used
Food:
What were the best dishes you ate in Paris?
Any restaurant you can recommend, possibly in Montmartre area, as that’s where we are going to stay
Kids:
What’s a nice park in Paris to hang out with a 2 year old kid?
X Meeting:
the schedule is tight, the time little, but I might get an evening or two off, while my wife looks after our son while he sleeps. So I can go out alone in Montmartre to make some late evening/night street photography. I will share on social media when I am free and if anyone wants to spontaneously join me to take some pictures (and drink a glass of red wine), that would be cool
Don’t worry about FujiRumors. It will figure it out and make it work. You will always be kept up to date with everything. Wherever I am, whatever I do, I will always make sure that you guys don’t miss anything.
So if you see a guy under the Eiffel tower working super concetrated on a laptop with a Fujifilm camera nearby, that’s 100% me :).
You deserve the best possible coverage, and I’ll deliver it to you no matter what.
