Criticizing and attacking Fujifilm is quite popular on the internet, and down below I will talk about possible reasons why it is like this.
Sometimes these critiques are justified, but sometimes I feel these attacks are unjustified.
Let’s talk about it now.
The original Fujifilm NP-W235 battery is now discounted at AmazonUS here (save 14%). It works with Fujifilm X-T4, GFX100S and GFX50SII.
At the end of the day, the original batteries probably remain the best pick.
I have had great experience with third party batteries, but just until a few days ago.
In fact, I was using my lovely Fujifilm X-E3 with my so far favorite third party Patona battery, and when I tried to swap out batteries, the Patona did not slide out anymore. For some reason, it did swell, and I had to fiddle around to get it out. So far something like that never happened to me with any original Fujifilm battery. Maybe I will post a picture of that later on on my Instagram. But I think you got what I mean.
So, after years of great service, the Patona failed on me. And yet, I feel I can’t complain anyway, as the price is just so much more affordable, that I feel fine if it does not last as long as the original Fujifilm batteries.

Fujicast is back with new episode #197 and #198. Also again on the podcast, Fujifilm UK manager Andreas Georghiades.
Not so surprising, as Japanese Fujifilm managers confirmed it already a few times: there will be a Fujifilm X-H2 one day. It’s probably Fuji’s way to facepalm publicy when they read the fake rumor the X-H line had been canceled ;).
They also talk about the Tony Northrup video, where Tony does not look overly optimistic to Fujifilm’s future.
Down below you can find the podcast as well as a summary.
Tonygate:
Chris and Jordan from DRPreviewTV share their reactions to Fujifilm’s ‘X Summit 2021’ announcements: a new GFX 50S II medium format camera, new X-T30 II, new X-mount and GF-mount lenses, and a teaser for a new stacked APS-C sensor!
Here is a summary:
-A large-diameter wide-angle interchangeable prime lens for the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras
-Superior resolution capabilities with fast and accurate AF to seize a decisive photo opportunity
-Dust and weather resistant and capable of operating at -10°C for advanced usability
-A compact and lightweight mirrorless digital camera that delivers premium image quality with fast and highly accurate AF function
-Capable of shooting smooth 4K/30p video with rich tonality
-A high-resolution 1.62-million-dot rear LCD monitor to enable comfortable shooting photographs
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.
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.
Development of new TASCAM XLR audio adapter allows mirrorless cameras in collaboration with Canon, Fujifilm, and Nikon to capture professional audio.
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.
