Pulitzer Prize Winner Ringo Chiu uses Fujifilm X Gear

Ringo Chiu won the Pulitzer prize 2021 as part of the awarded photography staff of Associated Press for a collection of photographs from multiple U.S. cities that cohesively captured the country’s response to the death of George Floyd.

Now NBC News just published a video about Ringo Chiu. In the interview, Ringo Chiu’s first sentence is “I just love photography” and then he goes on telling his story that brought him from China to USA and finally to win the Pulitzer prize.

So what has this to do with Fujifilm?

Well, photography lover Ringo, who grabbed one of the most prestigious awards for photojournalism on the planet, also shoots Fujifilm, as we can see multiple times during the video.

So let’s celebrate yet another Fujifilm X shooters who achieved great results thanks to his passion and talent for photography.

And yet, I am pretty sure that somewhere in a basement or fancy loft, a youtuber is already preparing a video with catchy headline declaring that the Fujifilm X system is no good for any professional use ;).

You can see the video above and check out Ringo Chiu’s work at his instagram here and website here. For the Pulitzer price photo series about the Black Live Matters coverage see this link.

Long time FR-readers know it: no, the X-H line has not been canceled. On the contrary, Fuji will make it stronger than ever by releasing two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras, one with a new 40MP sensor and the other with a new 26MP sensor.

We also recently reported that the name of one of the two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras will be Fujifilm X-H2s.

Well, we can now say with 100% certainty that the X-H camera featuring the new 26 megapixel sensor will be called Fujifilm X-H2s.

The second X-H camera will sport an all new high resolution 40 megapixel APS-C sensor.

The full Fujifilm X-H2S rumor recap can be found below.

Fujifilm X Shooter Magdalena Wasiczek Wins International Garden Photographer of the Year Award (XF80mmF2.8 Macro)

Fujifilm X shooters have won plenty of the most prestigious awards over the years using their X and GFX gear.

Not enough? Well, then know that photographers using Fujifilm cameras also…

  • won the world wildlife photography award (story here)
  • made the cover of the TIME magazine (story here)
  • won the World Photography Arts&Culture Award 2015 (story here)
  • won the First Prize of the World Press Photo Category “Stories (stroy here)
  • made the front page of the Wall Street Journal (story here)
  • were good enough for God’s work (story here)
  • captured America’s most hated man (story here)
  • distracted a French presidential candidate during his interview (story here)

One of the most recent entires in the awards list is the one of Fujifilm X shooter Magdalena Wasiczek, who won the International Garden Photographer of the Year Award (IGPOTY).

She used a Fujifilm X-T3 with the insanely sharp XF80mmF2.8 macro (a lens that I also own).

The judges write:

Magdalena has created this stunning, shimmering play on light, as she elevates this humble butterfly to the heavens. The magic of this capture is literally in the very air, with raindrops and macro lens used to great effect.

With this calibre of capture, it is easy to see why this will be her third overall IGPOTY win, and I offer her my congratulations for achieving this most amazing distinction.”

Congratz to Magdalena! You can check out all the details and see the image in full size at igpoty here.

But wait, there is more!

Also John Pettigrew made it among the finalists in the wildlife in the garden category with an image taken with X-T30 and XF55-200 (image below).

Hey Mr. Polin… are you really sure about that Fuji, LOL? ;)

Fujifilm Wins 20 Red Dot Awards

Fujifilm has purchased won 20 Red Dot Awards, including an award for a camera that won it already last year, the Fujifilm GFX100S. Isn’t that amazing?

In terms of photographic gear, the winners are:

My opinion (and some facts) about these joke awards here (I guess that’s why Fujifilm published the news on April 1st).

Down below the press release, the full list of winners and more details about each awarded product.

First Fujifilm X-T4 Silver Kits No Longer Available at Some Stores

The Fujifilm X-T4 in silver and combined with the XF18-55mm is now no longer available at Adorama here.

You can still find this combo at BHphoto here and AmazonUS here.

So what is going on?

Well, maybe it is about to suffer the same faith of the silver Fujifilm X-T3, which is no longer produced in silver.

And to be clear: this does not mean that Fujifilm is discontinuing the Fujifilm X-T4 and that a Fujifilm X-T5 is coming in May at the Fujifilm X Summit (I mean, I don’t know if it is coming in May. So far I only hear of the Fujifilm X-H2 coming in May).

So, don’t panic. The Fujifilm X-T4 is still being manufactured. But if you prefer the silver version, maybe it might be a good thing to buy it sooner rather than later. I expect the first silver kit versions to slowly run out of stock and being discontinued in the next few weeks over several stores.

A move that aligns Fujifilm with other brands, who in most cases don’t offer color variations in their mid and higher end camera range.
