Fujifilm X Summit 2022 NYC – Behind The Scenes with The Fuji Guys – Sneak Peak to Main Event Tomorrow!

Fuji Guy Billy is giving us a sneak peak of the upcoming Fujifilm X Summit 2022 in New York City.

I don’t know what he can anticipate about the event tomorrow, but here on FujiRumors we have a pretty clear idea on what is about to drop.

You can follow the Behind The Scenes with the Fuji Guys in the video here on FujiRumors.

Pre-Orders (start September 8)

Fujifilm X-H2S Kills off Fujifilm’s Super Power (Becoming More Like Sony) says Tony Phillips (and it’s NOT the PSAM Dial)

Tony Phillips might be known to many Fujifilm shooters thanks to his numerous books and guides about Fujifilm cameras.

Well, when testing the Fujifilm X-H2S, he noticed a change over previous Fujifilm cameras that, in his eyes, kills off one of Fujifilm’s super powers and makes it work more like any Sony.

In the short video above he will explain what it is.

Another thing that many X-H2S complain is that you can’t set ISO to one of the command dials. I can understand that’s totally annoying.

Good thing: these should be pretty easy things to fix via firmware update.

So, dear Fujifilm, time to get at work again ;).
