When Images Come to Life: Using GIF-Animations Created with Fujifilm Cameras for Wedding Photography

Guest Post by Kevin

Hi Patrick,

You have always provided us with all the important news in the last weeks, and probably most Fujifilm users are looking forward to the new camera models. I’m looking forward to the Fujifilm X-H2s with great anticipation myself… At the same time, the current cameras also offer some possibilities that may not be known to everyone.

My name is Kevin Kurek, and I am a wedding photographer from Germany. Some time ago, I started looking for new ways to capture the emotions of a wedding day even better. When I started playing with GIFs, I quickly realized that this is an incredibly great opportunity. Today, I actually get booked for most weddings because of my GIF films.

Today, I would love to show Fujirumor readers the hidden possibilities their cameras can offer them with GIFs.

How can GIFs be used in photography?

Rumors and Discussions

VOTE NOW: Are You a Fujifilm X-T Shooter? Tell Us if You Own also the Vertical Battery Grip

We shared the rumor coming from a new source, that the Fujifilm X-T5 will be the first X-T camera that won’t offer a vertical battery grip option:

After we shared our rumor, some said this will totally cripple the X-T line (which is Fuji’s by far best selling line).

That made me wonder how popular the vertical battery grip really is among Fujifilm X-T shooters, so I thought I could launch a survey about it.

So…

  • if you are a Fujifilm X-T camera user (X-T1, X-T2, X-T3, X-T4)
  • … and ONLY if you are a Fujifilm X-T camera user…

… feel free to vote the survey down below.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-T5 Coming with New Lower Base ISO (Less than 160)

Multiple trusted sources have reported to us, that the 40MP non-stacked Fujifilm X-H2 will have a lower base ISO than current Fujifilm models, including the Fujifilm X-H2S, which still has ISO 160 as its lowest native value.

I was always of the opinion that a lower base ISO should be a top priority for Fujifilm, so this rumor makes me particulary happen.

And what does this mean for the Fujifilm X-T5?

Well, our trusted sources also told us that the Fujifilm X-T5 will have the non-stacked 40MP sensor, so we can safely assume that also the Fujifilm X-T5 will have a new lower base ISO. But to be clear, that is a logical conclusion I make based on the current X-H2/X-T5 rumors, and not something a source told me explicitly.

And what about the other future Fujifilm cameras?

Now, Fujifilm has stated that except for the Fujifilm X-H line which has both sensor options, all other camera lines will either get the stacked 26MP or the 40MP non-stacked sensor. And since I don’t have information on which sensor the surviving X cameras will get, hence the Fujifilm X-Pro4, X-E5, X-S20, X-T40 and X100V successor, I can’t say which line will profit from the lower base ISO, too.

I have conflicting report until now on which the new base ISO value will be, but I am working to figure it out. I hope that very shortly I can give you the precise value.

Let’s Talk Kaizen: about What Changed, What Didn’t, and The Choice Fujifilm Had to Make

Recently a Fujifilm manager said that they are committed to bring X-H2S autofocus features as much as possible to older models (X-T3/X-T4).

So what, is Kaizen coming back?

Well, Kaizen never left. It was just on semi-pause for a while, and for an excellent reason I might say.

Let me explain.
