As you might know, photographers using Fujifilm cameras creamed off all the top awards at the World Press Photo Awards 2020.
Fujifilm continues to interview those photographers, who snapped all those wonderful images with Fujifilm X and GFX cameras.
The third interview is with Ricardo García Vilanova, who won the 3rd Prize for General News Singles in 2020 Word Press Photo (in the same category, Fujifilm won also the 1st prize, with Yasuyoshi Chiba grabbing the top winning image with his Fujifilm X-H1).
You can see the video below as well as a summary of the talk.

Did you listen to the 1 hour and 36 minutes long Fujifilm India live event with bad audio quality and half of it spoken in Hindi?
Probably not… but I did (you’re welcome) :).
I reported about it here already, when we talked about the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0.
And trust me, everything else they said, you know already (smaller IBIS, longer shutter life etc).
I don’t want to waste your precious time, so let’s get to the point of the only thing, that was new.
In fact, there was one thing said, 1+ hours into the talk, that I thought deserves a separate article. And it’s the only really new thing of all the event.
When the Fujifilm India product team was asked about the use of Fujifilm cameras as a webcam, one Fuji guy answered (I quote):
Live streaming is getting very popular and of course important during the COVID-19 situation. We all need a camera which you can just plug-and-play.
I can not say about it definitely, but I have heard from the developing team that we are developing something and they are soon going to release a firmware. There will be plug-and-play, and the X series camera will become like a webcam.
Yes, I have heard they are working on it, but I have no confirmation at this moment. But definitely they are doing something. Something is cooking.
Much more vague the answer if there will be Pro Res RAW for video via ATOMOS. Basically a “we know about this demand but we don’t know if it will come“.
Let’s hope that’s correct and more accurate than what another Fuji guy said during the same event, claiming that the X-T4 processor is improved over X-T3, so X-T4 is faster than X-T3.
How to run a Fujifilm camera as a webcam at this point in time?
Well there are two options:
Let’s cross fingers this firmware comes soon!
Oh… and namaste!

Opticallimits (former photozone) published its Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 Fujifilm X mount lens review.
The Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 (btw., my most used lens during my home-teaching vlogging career) won’t be dethroned in terms of image quality, but given that the Viltrox costs a fraction of the price of the Fujinon, it is better value for money, according to opticallimits.
From their conclusions:
According to nokishita, Samyang is about ot release a Mark II version of the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 and Samyang 85mm f/1.4. These will be manual focus lenses only.
More interesting to know, is what lenses will come from Fujifilm, and we have leaked some information here already.

Fujifilm APS-C (and also medium format) cameras experienced a true victory parade at this years’ World Press Photo awards, creaming off the top overall singles and stories awards, but winning also in other categories.
Now Fujifilm has interviewed Alain Shroeder, winner of the overall stories category (as well as a single category) at this years’ World Press Photo award.
It’s an enjoyable video that you can see below. For your convenience I have made a summary, in case you don’t have the 8 minutes time right now to watch the video.
