UPDATE – Technical Note: Source of Occasional Pop-Up Ads on Mobile Devices surfing FujiRumors Found… Fix on the Way

Share

Update: I have been contacted by Disqus. They informed me they fixed the issue :)

Hey guys,

Just a quick technical note.

In the last few days I have received some complaints about occasional pop-up ads on FujiRumors when surfing from mobile device.

I haven’t had the issue on my devices, but thanks to your help I could investigate the issue anyway and found it. The problem is related to the comment system we use, Disqus. And in fact, not only FujiRumors, but also other sites like PetaPixel (who uses Disqus) are affected.

I have contacted Disqus and pretended a quick fix, and they are working on it.

Don’t worry, it’s no virus or anything like this. I guess Disqus has to make some changes in the settings, which should happen soon.

In the meantime, sorry for further issues you will experience while Disqus is working on this.

MY POLICY

Pop-up ads are something I do NOT want on FR. If in future you should notice them, let me know quickly, and I will investigate the issue and take all necessary measurements to fix it (including banning the ad provider).

I apologize for the inconvenience and I’d like to say thanks to those of you, who, behind the scenes, helped me to find the issue of the pop-ups by cooperating with me.

You are awesome :)

Hasselblad X1D Best Sensor Ever Tested by DxOMark… and Fujifilm GFX 50S might Score Even Better?

Share

Just recently we reported that DxOmark said they will now test medium format cameras.

The Pentax 645Z, which features the same sensor of the Fujifilm GFX 50S and the Hasselblad X1D, had a prelimiary score of 101.

Now the full Hasselblad X1D test is out, and it beats every record, with a score of 102. You can read it here:

“The Hasselblad X1D-50c reaches new heights for image quality, achieving the highest DxOMark score of 102 points for any commercially-available sensor we’ve tested.

The X1D-50c excels in all three of our measurement categories, achieving either the top-ranked or a podium position result in each. At base ISO, the X1D-50c offers outstanding color depth (Portrait score) of 26.2 bits and a dynamic range (Landscape score) of 14.8 EV. In low light, the X1D-50c achieves the highest-ranked low-light ISO (Sports score) we’ve tested to date (4489 ISO).

Where the X1D-50c truly excels is for Low-Light ISO (Sports score), however. Achieving a top score of ISO 4489, it’s the best-performing sensor in low light that we’ve tested. This is primarily due to the larger surface area the medium-format sensor offers, so it isn’t surprising the X1D-50c outperforms physically-smaller full-frame sensors such as the 42.4Mp Sony A7R II, as well as sensors with a greater pixel pitch, such as the 12.2p Sony A7s.

That said, while its image quality is up there with the best, it’s not significantly better than other super high-resolution full-frame sensors, such as the Nikon D850 DSLR or the Sony A7R II, except in low light.“

Not bad, considering that the 50 MP sensor in the X1D (and GFX) is acutally quite old. Sony already showed the new 100MP BSI Medium Format sensor, which will for sure set a new benchmark and very likely be the core of the Fujifilm GFX 100S.

It will be interesting to see how the Fujifilm GFX 50S will score (if DxO will ever test it), since it’s true that it has the same sensor of the Pentax 645Z and Hasselblad X1D, but Fujifilm has fine tuned the 50MP sensor by customizing the microlenses in front of the sensor and optimizing the silicon process. This should give even better results.

Adobe just update Lightroom Standalone to version 6.13 and Lightroom Classic CC 7.0.1

We get Fujifilm X-E3 support.

Will this be the last upgrade of Lightroom Standalone? Adobe says:

As we align our investments in the direction of supporting our subscription-based products, the last version of Lightroom 6 will be coming out towards the end of the year.   If there is a camera not supported in Lightroom 6, you can use the DNG converter before importing your images into Lightroom 6.
