Jared Polin reviewed the Fujifilm X-H1 and compared it with the Sony A7III. The review is 33:19 minutes long. He uses firmware ver 1.10 (and not the latest ver 1.11, which fixes some bugs).
When I initially began to integrate Flashpoint XPLOR H1200 into my workflow, HSS, portability and the long lasting lithium batteries were key factors in my decision to switch from Broncolor to Flashpoint/Godox.
With the release of the 600 PRO earlier this year, I began to add more units, enough to be able to light for any conceivable studio or location requirements. I may use as many as 20 lights for a setup, or just one, but for sure I like to always have a good number of spares available.
On a recent shoot with singer/actress Becky G for the cover of GALORE magazine, and another shoot for VOGUE, I needed to have various set ups ready at once. I used only a single 600 PRO inside a modified BRONCOLOR FLOOTER S for a series of dramatic sky shots in HSS mode, and also a late afternoon pool shot, but I needed 20 units to light a series of colorful, 2000s pop inspired studio shots.
This will be a rather huge Fujifilm GFX 50S (and lenses) roundup… so let’s start.
Drew wrote me: “I was commissioned by the Daily Telegraph to shoot this Gigapixel image of Trooping the colour to celebrate the queens birthday. I thought It might be of interest. It was was shot on the Fujifilm GFX 50S with the 250mm lens. It is a truly amazing combination – perfectly suited to gigapixel imagery”. You can see the 2.3 gigapixel image made up of more than 100 50MP files at www.telegraph.co.uk
After our recent XF 8-16mm F2 coverage, here is a roundup for the other lens, that Fujifilm announced along with the new wide angle “monster lens”, the Fujinon XF200mm F2.

The Fuji Guys just published their Fujifilm X-E3 Vs. X100F comparison, and try to give an answer to the question which one suits you better.
I personally struggled with the same question, and at the end decided to go for the X-E3, because I own plenty of Fujinon lenses already, and because the X-E3 had bluetooth (I like to geo-tag my images in travels).
I do not care much about the touch screen, and use it only for the 4 swipe FN functions.
But of course the X100F has its strenghts too, such as the hybrid viewfinder and a feature strangely not mentioned by the Fuji Guys, but that I’d love to have on my X-E3: the combined ISO/Shutter dial.
Other than that, the X100F shines due to the leaf shutter and due to… let’s say… it’s philosophy: carry less (fixed lens), keep it simple, do not stress, go out and shoot.
