Max Yuryev compares the Sony vs Fujifilm color science.
It’s a blind test, so you have to go through 10 frames, note on paper if you prefer camera A and B. Of course I did it, and it turns out I prefered Fujifilm in 80% of the cases.
The video frames from 1 to 4 are taken with standard picture profile, whereas from 5 to 10 he compares Eterna to a custom made picture profile.
Some general conclusions Max made, before we watch at the frames one by one:
in harsh daylight, with light bouncing, the Sony got some heavy tint, but Fuji’s smart color science got rid of it
Sony is usually more accurate, but you have to spend time to get rid of that tint
Fujifilm got it figured out, and you don’t have to worry about color tint
If you just want to shoot, and not spent time color grading, Fujifilm is great
We remind you that, as reported here, Fujifilm makes a distinction between metric color and memory color. Metric color is more realistic, whereas memory color is interpretation, it’s how your brain sees and remembers colors in a certain scene.
Certain Fujifilm film simulations are not ment to be accurate representation of real colors, but interpretations closer to how you remember those colors.
Other film simulations instead just have to give a unique vibe to the image, think at the vintage touch of the less saturated Classic Chrome for example, great for documentary photography, thanks to the “art of omission” that puts the story/content in the center, instead of colors.
Colors science is a crucial factor at Fujifilm, and we told you already that the engineer, who developed the original Velvia film, has also developed the digital Velvia film simulation.
The Fujifilm X-T2 just dropped to its lowest price ever, down to $799 (50% off)

Over the last few years, FujiRumors had to sadly document how Fujifilm was discontinuing one film after another, and raising price on others.
For Acros 100 lovers, the bad news came back in April 2018, when Fujifilm officially announced they will discontinue this much-loved film.
Hope came a couple of months later, when the news arose here, that Fujifilm was considering to bring back Acros 100.
Now Fujifilm finally announced, that they will bring back Acros 100 in fall 2019.
This is made possible, because Fujifilm developed a new Acros 100 II film, by replacing some materials that became difficult to obtain and by adapting the manufacturing process to the new material.
I do hope that Fujifilm can bring back other discontinued film by using new technology and materials, too.
The Android version, which received an update just a few days ago, is still at version 4.0.0, so I guess it already incorporates the bug fixes and performance improvements released today for iOS.
The Fujifilm X-Pro3 has now been registered with the code name FF190002 here (via nokishita). The other two cameras registered there are the X-T3 and X-T30.
And no, it’s not the Fujifilm X-H2!
Here on FujiRumors we have already started breaking some Fujifilm X-Pro3 rumors.
Fujifilm Camera Remote 4.0.0 for Android has now been released. The iOS version was updated back in March, and we told you why it is still disappointing.
