We remind you that last week Steelsring said that the EF/GFX type II smart adapter will be available in early June, with builtin tripod collar and that Nikon/GFX and Nikon/FX adapters are in prototyping now.
Tony Northrup published his Fujifilm X-H1 review. Check out the full video at youtube here. Some excerpts:
loves mechanical dial
awesome eye detection AF
X-H1 is better camera than any Canon and Nikon APS-C camera, expect for battery life and not so much glass as for Canon and Nikon
touch screen sucks
for sports a Nikon D500 is better
he sees no difference between Bayer and X-Trans, and actually a disadvantage because he uses Lightroom
Sony A7III has better buffer and has eye detect AF in continous focus. Better battery and IQ, and you can upgrade to higher MP with A7rIII, but with Fuji APS-C you are limited to 24MP
And here are more Fujifilm X-H1 related articles and videos
Chris and Jordan from DRPreview TV reviewed the Fujifilm X-T100 (with final firmware). Here is what they think about the X-T100:
smart LCD articulation system with benefit that you can do vertical shooting without having to flip the screen out all to the side
no ACROS
awesome graphic interface and simplified menu
champagne gold looks good
rear dial is in a weired position
he would like to be able to customize more buttons
touch screen is laggy
XC15-45 very plastic feel, but focusses smooth and performs fairly well
better autofoucs than X-A5
X-Trans made sense in the past with older sensor, when there was an issue with moire, and X-Trans gave less moiree and sharper images. But nowadays X-Trans does not have the same advantages it had in the past
terrible record button
well constructed and it doesn’t feel cheap
Canon EOS M50 is closest competitor. X-T100 is better choice, feel nicer, looks nicer, and better lens selection
Let’s make a less gear-oriented roundup today, with a collection of tips and tricks regarding Fujifilm cameras (as well as more general photography tips).
Yes I know, here on FujiRumors we already told you about the Fujifilm XF10, a camera, similar in size to the X70, and yet it can’t be considered an XF10 successor, because it has no X-Trans sensor and especially because it has not a Selfie Screen.
Considering the XF10 without Selfie screen a successor to the X70 would be like considering the X-Pro3 without hybrid viewfinder a successor to the X-Pro2.
And indeed, the fact that Fujifilm decided to give the camera an all new name and not X70s or X80, is indication that Fujifilm itself won’t market it as a real X70 successor.
I am sorry guys… for as much love I have for Fujifilm, I simply can’t understand this camera.
And since I am not at all part of Fuji’s marketing machine, but I write what I want when I want with the same freedom of when I started this blog 6+ years ago, I will use my freedom to criticise the XF10.
However, even though I am on holidays, I will live blog on July 5th to cover the Fujifilm XF10 launch.
Fujifilm X80
The only worthy successor to the X70 should be called X70s or X80.
At this stage, I have no information if Fujifilm has plans to make an X80 or not. But there are people, who certainly hope it will see the light of the day, such as Kevin Mullins.
After seriously damaging his Fujifilm X70, a camera that Kevin Mullins really likes and uses also for his pro work at weddings, Kevin started crossing his fingers for an X80.
He shared a video on his youtube channel here explaining why he needs an X80 and what improvements he would like to see over the X70, as well as a blog post at f.16 click, where he shares lots of beautiful images taken with his X70.
Of course Kevin needs the selfie screen, actually he even wants a fully articulating one.
Kevin Mullins shared another X70 video here: People Watching at Cheltenham Races 2018 with my Fuji X70
Self Scratched X70
And while Kevin Mullins accidentally damaged his X70, there are people out there, who like the extra vintage look of scratched X70 and intentionally damage their X70, such as FujiGlitch at our forum here.
