A trusted source told me (thanks), that the Fujifilm X-T30 will be released in the first quarter of 2019 (January-March).
This pretty much fits with what we expected in our Fujifilm X camera replacement timeline, where we speculated, based on Fuji’s camera refresh-cycle, when the Fujifilm X-H2, Fujifilm X-T4, Fujifilm X-T30, Fujifilm X-Pro3, Fujifilm X-E4 and Fujifilm X200 (or X100V) could be released.
It’s the time of the year, where blogs and youtube channels declare the top gear of 2018. And as to expect, the Fujifilm X-T3 turns out at the top of the list quite often.
The Fujifilm X-T3 is the best allrounder camera on the market right now, a terrific value for money. Just take a look at the overwhelmingly enthusiastic feedback Fujifilm X-T3 customer reviews. At the end of the day, you get a lot for just $1,499, and that makes customers very happy.
And yes, many favor the Fujifilm X-T3 over the Sony A7III, even though it was a close call.
So here is an overview of the latest best of lists.
fujirumors – DPReview Declares Fujifilm X-T3 Best Consumer Stills/Video Camera 2018
Tony and Chelsea Northrup (video below) declare the Fujifilm X-T3 their favorite camera of the year 2018. Incredible versatile camera. Great focussing during video, too. Great lenses and controls.
They do also say, though, that the Fujifilm has made one of the biggest overstatements of the year, by saying the Fujifilm X-T3 does shoot 30fps with AF (11/12 fps is more realistic). The Fujifilm X-H1 battery life is one of the biggest disappointments.
Fujifilm just released firmware update 2.00 for Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-H1. It brings lots of improvements, in Fujifilm best Kaizen tradition.
The firmware update removes the 4GB record limit for the Fujifilm X-H1, but not for the Fujifilm X-T3. The X-T3 will get this feature later on. Fujifilm will tell u when in January.
Fujifilm uploaded a few more Fujifilm X photographer live stages from Photokina 2018. This time we have Jonas Rask, Elias Locardi and more.
And speaking of Jonas…
Jonas Rask has published a 5 part blog post series, that he has made from his 6 day trip to Japan back in October. He used so many different Fujifilm cameras, so it’s basically a showcase of what these cameras could do on a trip like this.
I had the pleasure to use and extensively test the newly released Fujinon XF200 f/2.0 LM OIS WR in October, 2018 while covering the Sports Car Club of America’s 2018 National Championships, also know as “The Runoffs” at Sonoma Raceway, Sonoma, CA, Oct 19-21, 2018.
Fujifilm North America graciously sent me the Fujinon XF200 f/2.0 along with an X-T3 and battery grip for approximately 10 days for motorsports photography testing to compare to my Fujifilm X-H1. The purpose of the test was to collect autofocus performance data for both cameras when used in a real-world professional motorsports photography use-case, and for this weekend long test-session, I used the new XF200 f/2.0 exclusively, as well as the new 1.4X teleconverter in some situations.
BACKGROUND: I’ve been a professionally accredited motorsports photojournalist for 15 years. I’ve was an official track photographers for Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for 7 years, and have been shooting as an accredited photojournalist for Sonoma Raceway since 2003. I cover all their professional series races, including NASCAR, NHRA Professional and Indy Car, and my photographs have been published in numerous newspapers in the SF Bay Area, including the San Francisco Chronicle, as well as various motorsports websites and magazines.
Time for a major miXed zone, this time focused on all kind of Fujifilm cameras, except for the brand new Fujifilm X-T3, Fujifilm GFX50S and Fuji GFX50R and Fuji X100F.
