The Fujifilm X-A7 looks actually like a very nice camera to me.

Especially the upgrade in the video compartment (now 4K@30p instead of the previous – and rather useless – 4K@15p) together with the new fully articulating screen, make it a compact options for vloggers.

A nice camera is coming our way, although I wish it had a pop-up EVF instead of a pop-up flash.

New Fujifilm Lens Roadmap to be Announced Soon

A the big Fujifilm X Summit back in February, Fujifilm asked us which lenses we would like to see next for the Fujifilm X and GFX system.

You guys voted massively here.

Well, I am happy to report that I hear of a new lens roadmap coming soon.

Let’s hope they listened once again to our wishes, as they did, when Fujifilm they took 1:1 your suggestions in the past.

See here, what you guys want as next lenses.

Fujifilm Patent Shows EVF with Diffractive Optics

Fujifilm has patented an EVF with diffractive optics, which should allow for better and more compact EVF design. From the patent description:

“A finder optical system suitable for an electronic viewfinder, etc., capable of widening the viewing angle, correcting various aberrations and downsizing

 In recent years, an electronic view finder (Electronic View Finder) is often used as a finder of a digital camera or the like. The electronic viewfinder includes a display element such as a liquid crystal panel for displaying an image of a subject, and an eyepiece optical system for observing the image displayed on the display element.

However, the degree of freedom in the configuration of the display element and the eyepiece optical system in the electronic viewfinder is extremely low. If the specification of the finder magnification is increased, that is, the viewing angle is increased, the number of lenses constituting the eyepiece optical system increases, and it becomes difficult to reduce the size of the finder unit. When it is attempted to improve the specifications without increasing the number of lenses, it is difficult to correct various aberrations of the finder optical system.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention can be suitably used for an electronic viewfinder and the like, and various aberrations can be corrected well while achieving a wide viewing angle, thereby reducing the size of the finder unit.”

Fujifilm X-A7 Images Leaked

As we told you here, the Fujifilm X-A7 comes with a fully articulating screen, as now the leaked images of nokishtia show.

Also all the other specs we already shared are correct:

  • bigger screen
  • no D-Pad
  • joystick

I just wish Fuji would have put a pop up EVF instead of a pop up flash into it.

Also, we told you it will come this week.

PS: Thanks for the nickname ;)
