Fujifilm X-H1 Announcement

Every time I inform you about the date of Fujifilm announcements, there are a few out there confused, because it turns out that the gear has been announced 1 day earlier or later than I rumored.

But hey, the world is a big space, with many different time zones, and that’s also the reason for the confusion.

So let me clarify it quickly for all of you.

I confirm what I shared here, that for a several hundreds of million of people on this planet, the announcement of the Fujifilm X-H1 will be on February 14. However, for other billions of people, it will happen on February 15.

And yes, I know some sites are copying this and all the other rumors, but getting copied is just a form of flattery for me ;).

Back it us… I don’t have the exact time for now, but as we can see from past announcements, Fujifilm traditionally announces new gear in the early afternoon Toyko time, mostly at around 2 PM (1 hour less or one hour more).

If Fujifilm keeps this time also for the Fujifilm X-H1 announcement, this means that the announcement will happen at:

  • TOKYO: February 15 at around 2 PM
  • PARIS: Februar 15 at around 6 AM
  • SAN FRANCISO: February 14 around 9PM
  • NEW YORK: February 14/15 around midnight

I’m sorry, dear FR-readers located on the American continent, or those of you living on one of the fantastic island of the Pacific Ocean, but for you the announcement will fall on St. Valentin’s day.

Meike MK420-F TTL Flash for Fujifilm, One Minute Lighting Setup, 10 Lighting Tips for Portraits – Flash Roundup

Meike MK420F

Back in 2015, we already reported about the Meike MK320F flash for Fujifilm. But that’s not the only flash Meike offers for Fujifilm.

There is one, that so far passed unnoticed, but not to the eyes of FR-reader Peter here, who told us about the Meike MK420 TTL flash for Fujifilm, that has actually been released back June 2017, but since nobody reported about it, let’s catch up now here on FujiRumors. Peter writes:

“The Mk420 is a much larger flash than the Mk320. Whereas the Mk320 is a specialized flash with a really small form factor, compromising on power, zoom and swivel in favor of size and weight (it looks a bit like just the flash head part of a speedlite without the body), the Mk420 looks more like a traditional flash. If the measurements on the internet are correct, the size is somewhere between the Godox TT350F and the Yongnuo YN560 series.”

Here are the main specs of the Meike MK420-F via AmazonUS:

  • High GN:42 (ISO100 ,105mm)
  • Flash mode: TTL M S1 S2
  • Equipped with longlife lithium battery:one-key operation to install or unstall; Battery flashes:300-2500 times
  • Vertical Rotation Angle: -7-90 degrees; Horizontal Rotation Angle: 0-180 degrees
  • LED-Assistive preview focus;Memory function;Temperature detection automatically

You can purchas the Meike MK420F for Fujifilm at AmazonUS, AmazonDE, AmazonUK

Canon Promotes its Cameras with Images Taken by Fujifilm X-T1… and Nikon Used Fujifilm X100 on Posters to Promote Nikon’s Heritage :)

Share

If true, than this is a major PR fiasco for Canon.

According to Fstoppers here, Canon Italy as well as Canon Spain have used images taken by well known (and very talented) photographer Elia Locardi, without permission of Elia, in order to promote their own digital cameras their social media (such as Canon Spains instagram). Canon did some editing work by replacing the sky with the one in Elia’s image… probably they prefered the Fuji colors for the sunset ;) .

Canon manager recently incredibly admitted here they are lagging behind in innovation. So their new business model seems to be to switch to Fujifilm :)

And speaking of PR that goes wrong, you might remember how back in 2016, Nikon used the Fujifilm X100 on posters to promote the “Nikon heritage”.
