As of today, the new X-T10 is Fujifilm’s most important camera release in 2015, and it’s clearly targeting both the mainstream and enthusiast market alike. Basically, the X-T10 is a smaller, lighter, cheaper version of the X-T1, even adding a few features that the X-T1 (with firmware 4) can’t offer:

“Accessible and desirable!”. That’s the X-T10 according to Kai. A well featured camera, superb IQ, decent AF [admin: tested with Beta Firmware], great ergonomics, fantastic usability. The look? “There is something about it, that feels so right” […] “The only problem of the X-T10, is that it’s not the X-T1 […] it might not sing to you as much as the X-T1, but as a camera this surely will be a lot of people’s cup of tea”

Using Firmware 4

Today, Fujifilm announced another major firmware revision for the X-T1: Version 4 introduces a new autofocus system with zones and object tracking based on pattern recognition. It’s also faster and more accurate, and it’s easier to use. Over the past weeks, I was able to gather practical experience with several work-in-progress versions of what’s coming in late June. I am happy to share these experiences in this article.

U.S. workshop is happening!

Before we begin, I’d like to respond to more than two dozen inquiries I have received regarding the proposed Fuji X Secrets workshops in Santa Barbara, CA. Here’s the deal: It’s happening! There will be a 2-day workshop on the weekend of July 18 and 19 at the offices of Rocky Nook (my publisher), and those of you who have already contacted me via email will get a heads-up to register before everyone else. For the best possible learning effect, only 8 places will be available, so if you haven’t already contacted me to express your interest, now is your last chance to do so. You can find out more about my workshops and my contact information here.

Minor and major improvements

Firmware 4 offers several improvements with regards to usability, such as exposure compensation in manual mode with Auto-ISO, expanding the T setting on the shutter dial to cover the full range of available shutter speeds (30s – 1/32000s), getting rid of the macro button (you may want to reassign the button to select the new AF modes), displaying finer gridlines that obscure less of the actual scene, or replacing the term Silent Mode with something we can actually understand.

However, the most significant innovation in firmware 4 is the new autofocus system: It includes improved single-point focussing, introduces new zone focussing and finally offers “real” subject tracking over the entire sensor area. Click here for an overview of what’s new in firmware 4.

“Sharp from edge to edge at f/1.4, Nice Bokeh, Fast & Accurate AF” XF 16mmF1.4 review at thedigitaltrekker

Matt Brandon tested the XF 16mm F1.4 in Kenya. You can read his first impression at thedigitaltrekker. Here an excerpt:

“The lens is weather sealed and becomes a great addition to the the weather sealed X-T1. Twice on this trip I was shooting in the rain and the camera got completely drenched. Not a problem. […] It is fast, so it will be useful in low light situations, it is sharp and focuses quickly and accurately. What more can a photographer want?”

Ok, it’s my birthday today, and I’ll soon leave for a billiard game and a glass (or two) of red wine. But I have a bit of time left to share with you another first look at the XF 16mmF1.4 at bencherryphotos: astrophotography, close ups of pythons and elephants and short XF Lens Comparison. At the end, it seems that the XF 16mmF1.4 will find a permanent place in his camera bag… a “fantastic lens”!

And a MUST READ in these days is Rico’s FIRST LOOK at the XF 16mmF1.4. (German Version)

I really have to go now (with my New Camera)… cheers ;)
