Fujifilm Working on a All New Digital Camera (Never Rumored Before)

Share

We already told you that Fujifilm will revive a camera line that we all thought dead.

But they are way more busy than that. ;)

In fact, according to our trusted sources, Fujifilm is also working on an all-new digital camera that has never been hinted or rumored before.

So we are not talking of a successor to an existing (or past) camera, nor about the rumored XPan camera or the fixed lens GFX.

It will be something completely and 100% new.

Fujifilm X-T50 Bug Fix Firmware Released

Share

Now that was fast!

Last time there was a bug, Fujifilm needed two months to issue a fix. This time they needed 2 days. Now that’s what I call an improvement ;).

Anyway, the Fujifilm X-T50 bug we reported here has now been fixed. Happy download!

Firmware Details

Fujifilm X-T50 ver. 1.02 – download here
The firmware update Ver.1.02 from Ver.1.01 incorporates the following issues:

  1. The firmware bug is fixed that the error message, “THIS FIRMWARE IS NOT FOR THIS MODEL TURN OFF THE CAMERA” is displayed on the LCD during the firmware update from Ver.1.00 to Ver.1.01 for specific serial numbers and the firmware update cannot be performed.

    Note-1: Refer to the “Notice and apology to FUJIFILM X-T50 users” for the details.
    Note-2: Although there are no differences of features and performance of the camera itself between Ver.1.01 and Ver.1.02, all X-T50 users can update this firmware (ver.1.02) even who had already completed the update to Ver.1.01.

Notice and Apology to FUJIFILM X-T50 users: Serial Number of X-T50’s Affected by Firmware Bug and Fix Coming Soon

Share

Just 2 days ago, Fujifilm released a bunch of new firmware updates.

Well, there firmware is buggy for some Fujifilm X-T50 cameras. Fujifilm promises a fix coming soon.

This has to be one of the most curious bugs I have ever seen, as it affects only silver colored Fujifilm X-T50’s. And only certain serial numbers are affected. You can read the details down below.

If you already updated and had no issues, then your firmware is perfectly fine.

SmallRig Cooling System for Selected Fujifilm Cameras

Share

Cooling system for cameras are nothing new.

Of course there is Fujifilm, with its own (and best) offering, the FAN-001, but that one is limited to X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20 and GFX100II. It won’t work on other cameras.

Other brands jumped into this space and offer their own cooling systems, such as the Ulanzi cooling system for Fujifilm cameras. And also Tilta is known for its solutions.

Well, we now have more options available.

In fact, SmallRig just launched the SmallRig Cooling System.

  • Rapid Cooling System
    Utilizes a high-efficiency fan paired with a TEC cooling module to swiftly cool down the camera, ensuring optimal performance.
  • Intelligent Temperature Control
    Features an automatic temperature control design that intelligently regulates the camera’s temperature for consistent operation.
  • Effortless Snap-On Installation
    Easily install and remove the device with a snap-on mechanism, enhancing compatibility with a wide range of cameras.
  • Versatile Usage
    Can be used independently or with a camera cage, offering a lighter and more flexible shooting experience.
  • Power Flexibility
    Compatible with the V-Mount Battery Mount Plate Kit 4064B/4063B, supporting V-Mount batteries and various power supply options for convenient use in diverse settings.

Notice that on their website, SmallRig only mentions the Fujifilm X-T4 and X-S10 as being compatible. So I am not sure if it will work with other Fujifilm cameras that have a selfie screen (X-S20 etc).

The Mitakon Speedmaster 80mm f/1.6 is now available for preorder at BHphoto here.

Make sure to check out the reviews below in case you are interested in this lens. They’ll help you to take the best buying decision.

And yes, it is a manual focus lens. And it’s f/1.6 on medium format GFX. Shot wide open you’ll have your challenges to nail the focus. So be aware of that. But it certainly sounds like a fun lens to use and for a decent price.
