A few times a year, here on FujiRumors we like to curate a little corner, where we collect curiosities, such as famous personalities spotted with Fujifilm gear, Fujifilm gear used at big events or in movies and ads and more.
Here is the last selection of this year.
Timelapse+ VIEW is a powerful intervalometer that comes with key features like automatic exposure ramping, gesture controls, live preview, and a smartphone app. The VIEW is a solution astrophotographers and videographers that some of you might find interesting and useful.
Fuji X series mirrorless cameras combined with the VIEW Intervalometer makes it easy to achieve the holy-grail of time-lapse.
Press Release
L-rumors.com just shared the image of the first Panasonic 8K camcorder featuring an organic sensor and they also shared some specs:
I remind you that just recently here, Panasonic said that the development of the organic sensor with Fujifilm continues. This could be the first application in a digital camera for this sensor.
In December 2014 our sources told us here, that there is a crucial problem to be solved with the organic sensor: heat generation (and battery drain).
The Fujifilm/Panasonic organic sensor cooperation itself was officially announced back in June 2013 here.
Let’s hope this good thing will finally be mirrorless camera fit. Sony needs some competition in the sensor business ;).
Kölnmesse has just issued an official press release (PDF here), that Photokina 2019 in May has been cancelled and will come back in May 2020.
It’s pretty sad, but it’ true: Photokina 2018 in September was the last of its kind.
Even US Fujifilm manager Steve said that from now on, Photokina will become more of a smaller regional show. And while in the past Fujifilm (and other companies) organized big launches in proximity to Photokina, it won’t be like this anymore in future.
I personally attended two photokina shows (2016 report here – 2018 report here). It was fantastic, because of the sheer magnitude of the event. Everybody with rank and name was there, and all the latest and greatest gear was launched at photokina. This magnitude will inevitably go lost now.
I don’t think it will be worth for me anymore to travel through half of Europe for a smaller regional show, so that was it. No more Photokina for me.
And to remind us of the good old days, I share the Fujifilm X Photographers Photokina 2018 live stages, which I was lucky to enjoy personally.
