Lots has already been shared, but I am working on so much more.

All this gear will be available for pre-order on September 2.

And of course, this is the gear I have heard of. I don’t know if anything else will be announced in addition to that. We will find out soon enough.

Sensor Cleaning and IBIS

For most users of X-Series cameras, do-it-yourself sensor cleaning with blowers, sticky sticks or swabs is a matter of course. However, things can get a little bit tricky if your camera has IBIS.

by Rico Pfirstinger

Sooner or later, cameras with interchangeable lenses get dust or dirt on the sensor. When the built-in sensor-cleaning function (SET UP > USER SETTING > SENSOR CLEANING > OK) doesn’t help, you can clean the sensor by yourself.

If you leave your camera’s sensor exposed, it will soon collect dust and spots from dried fluids.

Popular Sensor Cleaning Options

  • Touchless cleaning involves using a blower, like the Giottos Rocket Air Blaster, to rid the sensor of dust particles. A key feature of such devices is a filter in the intake valve that prevents contaminated (dusty) air from being blown against the sensor.
Caution! Don’t use compressed air from aerosol cans that contain propellants. Particles could hit the sensor like tiny projectiles and damage the protective surface!
  • Tough sensor dirt (like water or oil stains) requires wet cleaning with a sensor swab. They consist of wipers that are wetted with special cleaning fluids. Wipe one side of the swab from left to right over the full width of the sensor, and then from right to left with the other side of the swab. Your X-mount camera requires swabs that match APS-C-sized sensors.

Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 and XF23mmF1.4 II Coming with Linear Autofocus Motor and Weather Sealing on September 2

The Fujinon XF33mm f/1.4 and the Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 II will be announced on September 2.

Today we can tell you that both these lenses will have weather sealing as well as linear motor autofocus.

As explained by Fuji Guy Billy in this article, Fujifilm uses four different type of motors in their lenses:

  • stepping motors
  • linear motors
  • DC coreless motors
  • ultrasonic type of motors

Each motor has its Pros and Cons and you can read about it here.

Linear motors are certainly not the smallest, but they have two wonderful characteristics: they are fast and silent.

BREAKING: Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 MKII with Weather Sealing to be Announced September 2

You might remember we told you back in April that Fujifilm will launch the Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 MKII and that it should be released in 2022.

Well, it is correct, the XF23mmF1.4II is coming, but earlier than originally planed.

According to sources Fujifilm stepped on the gas and anticipated the release of the Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 MKII to 2021.

I don’t know when exactly it will ship, but the official announcement will take place at the Fujifilm X Summit on September 2.

Another tidbit a kind new source passed us (thanks, also for the X-T30II) : it will come with weather sealing.

The original Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 was my workhorse at the recent wedding I photographed and it performed admirably in combination with the Fujifilm X-T4.

Mirrorless Market Share 2020: The Rise of Canon (+6%) Affects Sony (-7%), Fujifilm Stable Third at +5% from Nikon

A couple of days ago we have share the market share for the entire digital camera market and we saw that Fujifilm is 4th. We also saw that only Fujifilm, Sony and Canon where able to gain some market share.

Now SonyAlphaRumors spotted a Financial Times article, where we can see the data for mirrorless cameras market share in 2020.

As usual, the data is provided by Techno System Research, a major marketing research company located in Japan.

We can see that, just as in 2019, Fujifilm is third in the mirrorless camera market share, followed by Olympus, Nikon and Panasonic.

  • Sony: about 35%
  • Canon: about 30%
  • Fujifilm: about 12%
  • Nikon: about 7%

Compared to 2019:

Fujifilm is substantially stable with about the same market share of 2019 and still 5% ahead of Nikon.

Sony lost most in terms of market share (-7%). The big winner is Canon, who gained about 6%.

Nikon is on the 4th position.

The dead Olympus has still more market share than Panasonic, who went all-in with full frame mirrorless.
