Wildlife Photography with Fujifilm Gear

Wildlife with Fujifilm gear

guest post by Michal Krause – website – @mkrause Instagram – Facebook

Some time ago, I read with interest the article in which photographers discussed what gear they miss for photographing wildlife in existing Fujifilm offer. They mostly mentioned various lenses of different focal lengths and apertures, which could give some people the impression that it is almost not possible to photograph wildlife with the Fujifilm X system. Therefore, I decided to summarize my almost five years of experience in this field. I hope to inspire and encourage some photographers who consider getting into wildlife photography with Fujifilm gear.

Fujifilm X-E4 still with 26 Megapixel X-Trans sensor (and Why I’m Happy with That)

Fujifilm X-E4

I noticed some speculation in the comments, on whether the Fujifilm X-E4 might introduce a new sensor generation.

But nope, it’s not going to happen. Fujifilm will put the 26 megapixel X-Trans sensor in the X-E4.

And quite frankly, despite it being 2.5 years old, it is still packed with Sony’s latest and greatest technology: phase detection pixels all over the sensor, back-side illuminated, copper wiring for even faster readout. It’s the best sensor Sony has to offer without going into more exotic (and expensive) terrain with stacked sensors (Sony A9 series), which allow even faster readout, but decrease dynamic range.

Yes, Sony has a 43 megapixel APS-C sensor in offer, but maybe that’s a bit of an overkill for APS-C. In my opinion the sweet spot for APS-C is somewhere around 32/35 Megapixel. It would allow for 8K video recording, be still supported by Fujinon glass and just offer a nice balance between file size, details, dynamic range, costs and just overall performance. For 50+ megapixel, it is probably better to go with the GFX system anyway.

As you can imagine, I am working on more details regarding the Fujifilm X-E4. If I have anything new, I’ll you know on FujiRumors soon.

CORRECTION: Fujifilm X-T3 is NOT Discontinued but Certain Variations Maybe Harder to Find

Here is what happened.

Two days ago a fellow Fujifilm X Shooter contacted me, saying that his local store told him the following:

  1. the Fujifilm X-T3 has been removed from the list of current Winter deals, hence the $500 rebate is gone
  2. the Fujifilm X-T3 has been discontinued

So first thing I did was to check the Fujifilm deals page, and indeed, the X-T3 no longer showed up among the rebated cameras.

I then wrote this article, where I informed you about the X-T3 deal being removed and that a local store spread the news the X-T3 is now discontinued.

However, trusted sources immediately reached out to me and yes, they confirmed the removal from the deals list of the X-T3, but they also clearly told me that the X-T3 has not been discontinued but some X-T3 variations (kit combinations) maybe harder to find from now on.

Also, I have been told that the real reason Fujifilm removed the X-T3 deals is that the demand for X-T3 is very high and Fujifilm can’t keep up with it.

So it was important to set things right for you guys.

Fujifilm X-E4 will NOT have a Fixed LCD Screen

Fujifilm X-E4

Recently I wrote one of the most commented articles of the year here on FujiRumors about the rise of selfie screens.

In that article, I also explained which one are my preferences when it comes to screen designs for the upcoming Fujifilm X-E4.

Well, today I have an update for you guys.

A source read my article and told me I should take one option from the list: the fixed screen.

So, the Fujifilm X-E4 will not have a fixed screen. Honestly this surprises me a bit, as the X-E1, X-E2, X-E2S and X-E3 all had fixed screens. So that’s definitely a signifcant change for the X-E series.

An X-E4 with fixed screen was my second favorite option. If you want to know the others, check out this article.

I am working on more details and I’ve scheduled a call with the source in the next few days, so I hope I can give you updates very soon.
