Fujifilm GFX50SII Marketing Materials to be Released September 2/3

Back in May, Nokishita spotted that the marketing material (suer manual, pictures, etc) for the FF210001 camera will be released on August 27.

However, we immediately told you that nothing will happen on August 27. Later on we told you it will happen on September 2.

Now the date for the release of the materials has been changed at the FCC [located in USA] to September 3 and Nokishita noticed this and writes:

The release date of FCC materials such as the appearance and manuals of Fujifilm “FF210001” has been changed to September 3, 2021. It should be announced by 23:59 on September 2nd

There will be a Fujifilm X summit. It has not yet been announced, but Fujifilm will do it shortly. Of course we will live stream the event here on FujiRumors.

There won’t be “just” the Fujifilm GFX50SII. Down below a list of what we can expect:

  • Fujifilm GFX50SII
  • Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6
  • Fujifilm X-T30II
  • Fujinon XF23mm F1.4 II
  • Fujinon XF33mm F1.4
  • to be continued… ?

Initial Specs Comparison: Fujifilm GFX50SII vs GFX100S vs GFX50S

Given the several rumors we have already shared about the upcoming Fujifilm GFX50SII, I thought we can share an initial specs comparison with the Fujifilm GFX100S and the original Fujifilm GFX50S.

Totally missing so far are the video specs, but I somehow have the feeling that those of you interested in the Fujifilm GFX50SII, don’t really have “video features” as one of your priorities.

Also, down below the list of products that (so far) we expect to be announced on September 2:

IT’S DONE! My First Wedding with Fujifilm X: Talking Gear, Film Simulations Love, What Worked Great (and What Not So)

[NOTE: at the event every participant was either vaccinated or had been tested negative in the 48 hours before (the tests are free and fast to make where I live). Most of the guests (me included) were fully vaccinated]

Did you notice it?

For the first time in years, last Saturday I haven’t published something on FujiRumors for an entire day.

And the reason is simple: I was at the wedding of a very close friend (I also served as his best man).

I also was in charge of taking pictures. Not all of them. They had a professional photographer shooting with a Canon DSLR. But the photographer left at dinner, so that’s mostly when I took over.

Now, my buddy told me he does not want to see me stressed running around taking pictures all the time, and that I should enjoy the party. And I promised him he will see me holding more often a glass of good wine rather than a camera. And that’s what I did.

But, despite a bit of pressure to get the job done right, I also enjoyed to take images a lot. In fact I felt honored that I could contribute a little bit to capturing such precious memories for his life.

And now…

brutally honest…

Let’s talk about what went great and what not so with my Fuji X gear during the wedding.

But first…

You Wedding Photographers Rock!

Any wedding photographer out there reading FujiRumors?

Well, if so, then oh boy, you have all my deepest respect for your job!

I mean, I am a teacher and blogger. And in both cases, if I mess up a lesson or an article, I can fix it later on with another and better lesson or article.

But now that I photographed a wedding for the first time, even though the part in the church and the reception at the restaurant was covered by the official photographer, I did feel quite some pressure knowing that this is a 1 time only moment. I don’t get a second chance to get it right. And having a job where you expose yourself to such a pressure, well, I guess you must have nerves of steel for that.

So if wedding photography is your job, you have my deepest respect. I probably would not have the nerves and strength to do what you do, and I am grateful that there are guys like you out there taking over this job.

Official Wedding Photographer vs FujiRumors ;)

The official wedding photographer used a Canon DSLR. Interestingly the glass he used was all from Sigma.

As for me, all I took with was the X-T4, X-E3, XF23/1.4 and XF56/1.2. I also had the XF35/1.4, but at the end for the outside shots I mostly used the XF56/1.2 and inside the restaurant I needed to go with the wider 23/1.4. So the 35/1.4 remained in the camera bag.

And quite frankly, the setup I used was perfect for what I did. Maybe sometimes the XF 18mmF1.4 or the XF16mmF1.4 would have been handy, but shame on me, I don’t own those lenses.

As I said previously, I knew I don’t have to interfere with the official photographer, so whenever he was taking images of the guests, I did enjoy talking with friends and drinking good wine. But in those occasions, where he was away with the bridal couple taking some portraits, I sometimes grabbed the camera and took some snapshots.

So how did it go? Let’s talk about it!

What Went Great

My Fujifilm X gear performed fantastic, except for one thing, where it performed OK but not great. You’ll read about it below.

The probably biggest advantage I had over the official photographer, was that most of the guest were basically also my friends or people I know quite well. And as some of you already predicted in my original article, this allowed me to get close to them with my camera gear without intimidating them.

Look for example at the image below, where a good friend of my childhood, that I haven’t seen in years as he moved to another part of Italy and opened a restaurant there, spotted me taking pictures. He gave me such a genuine smile as he was happy to see me again. I took this image while he was approaching me with his wife.

And there are a couple of images like this, where the guests just wholeheartedly smile into the camera or just keep doing their stuff spontanously while I take some images.

Last but not least, the official photographer probably did not even notice that I am also taking images. I acted stealthy like a ninja as I did not want to interfere with his work and irritate him by standing in his way (you can see an image of me down below).

As for the gear itself…

I came back home with lots of lovely images. Especially the newer processor and faster sensor in the Fujifilm X-T4 performed admirably even in low light, but also the Fujifilm X-E3 was a solid performer throughout the whole event.

Just one thing I wish Fujifilm would improve, and you can read it down below.
