The Japanese store MapCameras published their top selling camera rankings for last month.
The Fujifilm X-T4 leads the pack, and we find other 3 Fujifilm in the top 10. I am surprised to see the Fujifilm X-H1 in there, not because it would not deserve that spot, but because it is discontinued on so hard to find anywhere.
Of course thet Mapcamera data is not representative for overall sales.
With that said, if big retailers share their sales data, it might not be representative for the overall market, but it can still give an approximate indication of what the market wants and how different markets react to different products.
So, down below is Mapcamera ranking for April 2020

FR-reader Kim contacted me, letting me know about a workflow he established, in order to run his Fujifilm as a webcam during video conferences with Zoom, without any need of a capture card (like the very popilar Camlink 4K).
I made a video recently about how to use your Fujifilm camera as a webcam without a capture card (like the Camlink 4K). I thought some would fine it useful given the 4-5 week delay on getting a capture card lately. Also is a method to get external webcam (the camera in this case) working on Zoom as I know that is also a bit of an issue for some.
It’s done over the UBS connection to a Mac (no PC as I no little of those things anymore) and works great. Totally free set up, once you have a Mac Fuji camera and a USB cable. I did a two hour Aikido class on Zoom last night and battery only dropped to 71%.
Though you might share this if you feel people out there might benefit for it.
Thanks Kim for sharing this with the Fujifilm community.

Fujifilm USA uploaded a video called “Understanding Fujifilm Firmware Updates” (video below).
Before going on and showing you, how to update your firmware, Fujifilm manager Michael Bulbenko says:
Wait, is this it some sort of subliminal and hidden message?
I mean, a video, where a manager reminds us that Fujifilm does update older gear with new features, and the Fujifilm manager holds a nice Fujifilm X-T3 in his hands. Is he trying to tell us, that the rumored Fujifilm X-T3 Kaizen update is about to come?
Anyway, this post is a good opportunity to let Fujifilm know your firmware wishes in the comments.
A simple wish from my side? Well, I expressed them in this old post already, but I will repreat them here, in case Fujifilm did not hear me the first time:
If you want to read more in depth what I mean, and why I picked these 3, check out this post.
And what about you?
Now that Fujifilm officially opened their X mount, we recently launched this mega-survey, on which Sigma lenses you would like for Fujifilm X.
If you want to see which are the top Sigma lens wishes of the Fujifilm X mount community, check out this post.
Now it’s time to see which one of all the lenses listed at the Tamron website you’d like also for Fujifilm X mount.
First the full list of lenses you can click to check price and specs, and down below the survey.

A FR-reader contacted me, informing me that it’s a while now that several stores worldwide list the Fujifilm XF27mm f/2.8 R, where “R” stands for “aperture ring”.
As a happy owner of the Fujinon XF27mm f/2.8, a MK II version of this lens with aperture ring would be a dream come true!
But you know, I run this blog since a long, a very long, time. I shared my Fuji passion on FujiRumors, when probably most of you didn’t even know the X series existed. And I remember everything of this long journey.
I remember also this:
Back in 2013, when the Fujinon XF27mm f/2.8 was not yet officially announced, Fujifilm showed 27mm mock-ups around at various photography fairs. The mock-ups had indeed an aperture ring, as you can see here.
But at the end, the final version came out without an aperture ring.
So what’s going on now?
Well, as much as I’d love to believe that this is some sort of leaked image of an upcoming XF27mm f/2.8 with aperture ring, at this point in time I believe more that this is just an error. Probably a pre-release mock-up rendering by Fujifilm, that found its way in the final specs sheets distributed to retailers and press, and hence kept circulating.
With that said, there will be two Mark II lenses coming in the next 10 months. If one of those would be the Fujinon XF27mm f/2.8 Mark II with aperture ring, that would make me very happy.
But so far, I do not know which are the two lenses… but it’s a work in progress ;).
