Fujifilm X-H1 Autofocus

Over a month ago here, we already told you that the Fujifilm X-H1 will have an improved autofocus compared to any X-series camera currently available.

At that time, though, it was still “just” a rumor from a new source.

But now I can confirm from long time trusted sources that,

the autofocus of the Fujifilm X-H1 will be even more accurate and has better low light focusing than Fujifilm X-T2

I know some of you guys are still sceptic about the X-H1, and that’s a good thing, because once it will be announced on February 15, you will be all extremely positively surprised ;) .

Miguel Ángel López made some 3D printed boxes for Fujifilm NP-W126/S and NP-95 batteries as well as for SD-cards.

If you own a 3D printer, down below you can find the free STL files.

Thanks a lot to Miguel Ángel López from the Spanish site Fujistas.

Also, check out the SD card holder insert for film canisters made by FR-reader exkeks.

And if you need a lens hood for the 23mm, check out the 3D pritner XF-LH23.

FR-reader Stefan linked to a very nice Battery Cover made by Carsten. You can check it out here. He writes: “I am also able to see which batteries are empty and which are full (e.g. the middle one is empty where you can see the metal contact.) Just put the battery upside down when its empty

Fujifilm X-E3 Will Get X RAW STUDIO Support via Firmware Update

Fujifilm X RAW STUDIO

Hey all :)

Just a rumor flash to tell you that according to our sources (thanks), also the Fujifilm X-E3 will get X RAW STUDIO Support.

I remind you that Fujifilm Germany said here, that also the X-T20 will get X RAW STUDIO support as part of an “extensive firmware update” planed for early 2018 and that currently X RAW STUDIO supports the Fujifilm GFX 50S, X-T2, X-Pro2 and X100F.

This is a welcome news for all fellow Fujifilm X shooters, who don’t do major editing work in Lightroom & Co, because they love Fujifilm’s JPEG output and they just use the internal RAW converter to fine tune their images by changing white balance, film simulation, exposure and so forth,

X RAW STUDIO is a free, simple but efficient RAW converter software offered by Fujifilm, that allows you to use the in-camera processing engine to edit images on a proper computer screen and to see those changes applied to your images in real-time, as opposed to converting them in-camera, where you will only see how your changes affect your images, after you process them by clicking the “Q” button.

Personally I do use the in-camera RAW converter a lot, and frankly I would never buy into a system anymore, that does not have this feature.

I do like it to make quick adjustments to my images right in camera.

But I don’t think the X RAW STUDIO software will be something I use, because for me, the internal RAW conversion is all about “on field” use. Take an image, adjust it in camera and upload to social media right away.

But when I am back home and on my computer, I don’t see any use for the internal RAW converter anymore. I have Lightroom, Iridient, Luminar, Picktorial and enough RAW converters to take my time to work more seriously on my files… which isn’t necessary that often, though, since Fujifilm’s JPEGs out of the box or slightly adjusted with the internal RAW converter often give me already fantastic results.

With that said, we all have different workflows and preferences, and I can see quite some X Shooters preferring to edit their images using X RAW STUDIO at home, rather than using the internal converter on the field. So Fujifilm X-E3, X-T20 (&more) support is definitely welcome.

Fujifilm X-A5 Added to Top 5 Cameras Under $500 at DPReview

Share

Just announced, and already awarded :)

DPReview added the Fujifilm X-A5 to the Top 5 Cameras under $500. The current Top recommendation is the Canon EOS M100.

They specify, though, that they have not yet fully tested it, so their recommendation might change later on. For now their Pros and Cons are the following:

What we like:

  • Very good Raw image quality expected
  • Hybrid AF system should improve subject tracking
  • Twin control dials
  • Excellent battery life

What we don’t:

  • Poor frame rate in 4K
  • Build a bit plasticky
  • LCD hard to see outdoors
