Another Fujifilm X-E3 Image Leaked?

A Perfect Day

If you think a perfect day is riding a rented scooter all over Crete (Greece) on your holidays, jump from cliffs in the most insanely blue water I’ve ever seen, photograph great moments and sceneries with your Fujifilm gear and then end the day with a very good old friend at beer, raki and gorgeous food… if you think all this makes a prefect day, then you are wrong!

Because a perfect day, at least for me, always ends with a rumor :D

And well, FR-reader Chris – check out his work on instagram here – helped me to make my (too short) vacation in Greece even better :)

He contacted me and shared with me an image he found, which could show the Fujifilm X-E3.

The New X-E3 image

The image is low resolution (cropped from a much bigger image), but we can see that it clearly has the DNA of Fujifilm’s X-E line.

In fact, it could be even mistaken for an X-E2, if it wasn’t for the focus assist light, which is now moved a bit higher, just as we can see from the first leaked X-E3 images here.

The hot shoe is now centered to the lens, but sadly we can’t see more of the top plate, due to the strap.

The X-E3 should also have a front command dial, which is also covered by the strap. You can see it in our first leaked images.

The Real Thing?

This is the image I got… and now I just want to have fun and analyze it. I don’t know of any other EVF only MILC X-series camera that looks exactly like the one Chris shared with the FR-community… so why not… it could be the Fujifilm X-E3 indeed :)

Thanks again to Chris (instagram), for finiding and sharing the image with FujiRumors and with all of us.

And at this point, really BIG thanks to everybody, who helps me in my work and contributes to keep the entire Fujifilm world excited. Feel free to keep up sharing. We have an anonymous rumor box on the blog, but even if you write me emails at fujirumor@gmail.com or contact me via PM at Facebook and Twitter, you will remain 100% anonymous.

User Review of the Fujifilm GFX – Compared to Hasselblad X1D, Leica, and Sony

Share
Shot with Fujifilm GFX 50s with 63/2.8 for Lovebite Magazine

Written for Fuji Rumors by Rick Birt of romeobravophoto.com

*Note* This is a long post – I have a summary of pros and cons in my conclusion

As soon as the Hasselblad X1D-50c and Fuji GFX 50s were announced, I wanted one. The promise of Medium Format in a cheaper, and smaller package was incredibly alluring. For the past year my main camera has been a Fuji X-Pro2. I love it. I love the image quality, the colors, the size, and the Rangefinder styling. I also love Fujifilm’s Kaizen philosophy of constantly updating their camera lineup via firmware. All of these things influenced my decision toward the GFX. Luckily, my wife (Kelly Williams), and I were also given the opportunity to demo the Hasselblad X1D. The svelte styling, leaf shutter (ability to sync strobes at 1/2000s), and simple menus were all big pluses in the Hassy’s favor.

When we opened the boxes, we were woefully unimpressed by the Fuji GFX. Even though it kind of looks like a bigger X-T2, it’s actually kind of ugly in person. It almost looks like three different teams designed parts of the camera, and then they Frankenstein’d it all together in the end.

In stark contrast when we opened the X1D box, my wife said,

“We may have to buy two of these so we don’t fight over it.”

Similarly, we conducted two fashion shoots with these cameras. When we brought out the X1D, both models said

“Oh! A Hasselblad!”

Neither commented on the GFX.

Should this matter? My left brain says no. However, it does matter. What is this industry about? IMAGE. These tools are used to take images, because the world has placed value on images of pretty things. Don’t kid yourself, image is paramount in this business – especially in fashion and portraits.

Back to testing…

Serene Automation (Roboshoot Triggers for Fuji cameras) is “Temporarily Suspending Operations.”

Share

Serene Automation, the maker of Roboshoot remote triggers for Fujifilm cameras, has announced that the company is “temporarily suspending operations.”

Too bad… I know there are quite some Fujifilm shooters out there, who love the Roboshoot triggers. It’s a great product (with great customer support), but if you read FR regualary, you will have noticed that in the latest months a lot has happened in the Fujifilm flash world… and I guess that this had some impact on Serene Automation.

Let’s hope they will find a way to keep it up.

Check out Roboshoot at BHphoto

Full Announcement:

“[via webpage] We are transitioning! As of August 7th 2017 Serene Automation LLC is temporarily suspending operations. We expect to be back in the near future. In the mean time, special thanks goes out to all our great customers and supporters!”

[via facebook] Still trying to figure out the best way forward. For now operations are fully suspended, but we hope to change that in the not to distant future.
