Our reader Jonathan sent us the link to a refurbished deal on cameras we don’t talk about very often.

The first deal is the two refurbished [shoplink 875 ebay]Fujifilm GF670 Rangefinder Folding Film Camera (Click here)[/shoplink]. This is a superb medium format camera and it makes me a bit proud to know that Fuji is still investing on developing film cameras. Not because I am a nostalgic men but because I I am convinced that medium format film has a “different” flair and quality that is yet unmatched by digital cameras. Just try to shot a B&W 120 roll with that camera and you will understand what I mean!

The second deal is related to the last Fuji DSLR camera, the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro. You can find two refurbished cameras, one at [shoplink 877 ebay]Photographicstuff (Click here)[/shoplink] and one at [shoplink 878 ebay]Supersmartelectronics (Click here)[/shoplink]. The camera has been announced back in 2006 and a lot of time passed until Fuji released another system camera, the X PRo 1.

But it’s undeniable now that Fuji’s future is the X mirrorless system and maybe even a new FF X system. There is no way back to DSLR and I don’t know how long they will make Film Cameras too.

A “drunk” Fuji X-E1 review :)

You would think reviewers are cold blood people focused on finding out all the quirks of the tested camera. But our reader Arjantavari managed to do find a new way to test cameras and warned me and you that “The only thing is, I’m a bit drunk. And I’ve been drinking for about 12 hours“. The video can be seen her eon top! Thanks Arjantavari for sharing your story ;)

And here is the “serious” review roundup:
