Italian photographer Roberto owned Fujifilm X series gear, but at some point followed the siren songs of full frame Sony.
Now, after using Sony for a while, he switched back to Fujifilm.
In his (Italian) video he explains why.
But don’t worry, you are lucky that FujiRumors is a polyglot (I speak 4 languages), so I am going to translate it for you ;).
The Fujifilm X-T3 is currently $200 off for the body only or with some lenses.
This means you get the X-T3 body for $1,299.
However, Adorama sells the X-T3 for $1,299, and adds a free Flashpoint R2 (rebranded Godox V1 – worth $239) on top of it! This means you get a total saving of $439.

BHphoto has published an article about all 4 new Fujinon lenses released in 2019.
You can check it out here.
As you can see, the release perfectly fits with what FujiRumors told you years ago, meaning that Fujifilm will NOT release more than 2 or 3 XF and 2 or 3 GF lenses a year. So a total of 4 to 6 lenses.
But in my opinion, 4 lenses are not enough!
There should be more, and I hope in 2020 will will see at least a total of 6 new X/GFX lenses. We need:
Fujifilm changed again their current X/GFX savings. Here is what’s new:
The rest remains the same, and you can check it all out down in this dedicated X/GFX deal page and also down below.

Sonder Creative and Anete compared the Fujifilm X-T3 with Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 with the Sony a7iii with Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8.
At the end it is a split decision, with Anete preferring the Fujifilm system and Sonder Creative the Sony system.
But I want to highlight one thing, before I leave you to the video and a summary down below.
We know that, in terms of depth of field, f/1.2 on APS-C does not give the same results of f/1.2 on full frame.
In fact, f/1.2 on APS-C is closer to f/1.8 on full frame, and this is why on this comparison you don’t really see any difference in terms of depth of field between the Fuji and the Sony (except for the bokeh quality, which is better on the Fuji.)
The point?
When Sonder Creative exposed properly both images (base ISO, and widest aperture), he noticed that the shutter speed was completely different:
He concludes saying that:
one of the advantages of shooting with APS-C, is that you can shoot with a much faster shutter speed compared to full frame
Seen from this perspective, the light gathering capability of f/1.2 on Fujifilm APS-C is and remains f/1.2.
I thought I point this out and let you discuss about it.

And now to the video and the summary:
Just a few days ago, Fujifilm announced major firmware udpates for Fujifilm X-T3 and X-T30.
Now Fujifilm updated its original announcement.
What has changed?
Nothing, they just added at the bottom a link to the Shenzhen Gudsen Technology Co., Ltd. regarding the Gimbal/Drone support.
But official news is official news, so I have to report about it.

Fujifilm to release firmware update for the FUJIFILM X-T3
Enabling video shooting control from Gimbal / Drone and offering other feature enhancements
The Fujifilm X-H1 is now marked as discontinued at BHphoto in basically all its configurations.
Just a few days ago, the same happened to the Fujifilm X-T2 here.
The era of Fujifilm’s 24 megapixel cameras is over.
But I feel I need to say a few words about the Fujifilm X-H1, a camera that didn’t get the success it deserved, mainly for a very unlucky timing by Fujifilm: releasing the more powerful Fujifilm X-T3 just half a year later.
I have no idea how Fujifilm Japan thought this could work out well. Maybe they thought that IBIS alone is enough to keep the X-H1 attractive also once the X-T3 hits the market. But apparently they were wrong.
And yet, at its very last moments, the Fujifilm X-H1 lived moments of glory, by selling like hot cakes thanks to massive rebates.
Ok, I hear you say… Fujifilm X-H2 is coming.
Well, the Fujifilm X-H2 is on Fuji’s “to do” list, and it will come, but Fuji won’t release it in 2020.
The Fujifilm X-H1 is running out of stock, but you can still find it available in some stores, for example at Adorama here.
So, if you want to grab one, you better do it now.
