I'm a documentary wedding photographer, which means there's a certain way that I work, and a certain style to the photography I produce. The end product of which is an accurate, beautiful document of the single most important day thus far in a couple's life together. I want my clients to feel what they felt on their wedding day, years later when they're reminiscing with their album.
Sony might be stealing the show with the announcement of the a7II today, but one other camera company released some gear today too. They're a little Japanese outfit you might have heard of called Fujifilm, and today they unveiled two new X-Series macro extension tubes and the release date for the huge X-T1 firmware 3.0 update.
Fuji's X-T1 already has one of the most impressive electronic viewfinders in the mirrorless world, but if recent rumors are to be believed, that that isn't good enough for the Japanese company.
Usually the strange, out of the ordinary rumors come with an asterisk, a footnote that reads "anonymous source" or "new source" or something along those lines. This one, however, comes straight from two of Fuji Rumors' "trusted sources."
According to these two sources, Fujifilm is planning to release an updated version of the much-lauded X-T1, a move that would be out of the ordinary for the company.
Whether you're just starting to convert color to black and white or you've just never been satisfied with how your previous attempts have turned out, this short tutorial by Hong Kong street photographer Gary Tyson will come in very handy.
Fujifilm is helping make X-Series camera users' lives easier today by releasing the much-anticipated X100/X100s teleconverter lens and a whole slew of accessories meant for use with the popular X-T1.
Fuji is making a habit of scoring brownie points with its customers. Whether it's by creating great cameras, releasing firmware updates for discontinued and replaced products or, in this case, offering an official fix for an issue for free just days after the problem became known.
It seems as though with each passing day the eagerly anticipated and highly touted Fujifilm X-T1 is garnering more and more attention. We've already shared The Camera Store's thoughts after they got some hands-on time with it, and today it's our favorite face from DigitalRev, Kai, taking the X-T1 for a spin.
Well, well. Fuji's done it again. They've simultaneously wowed fans and foes with the newly announced X-T1. There's a lot to learn here and a lot to discuss. Let's take a look at some of the details and perhaps more subtle or overlooked points.
It's finally here! About one bazillion (official statistic) leaks and one teaser later, Fujifilm has finally announced the much-longed-for X-T1. With a weather-resistant body, a large and powerful OLED EVF and the fastest autofocus in its class, Fuji promises that this camera will make for a "truly remarkable photographic experience."
Most of the specs and information on the recently-teased Fuji X-T1 that will make landfall on January 28th have already leaked, but the final piece of the rumor puzzle fell into place today when Digicameinfo published the official-looking product shots you see here.
We don't like sharing two stories about the same camera in one day, but the Fuji teaser we told you about this morning was followed in short order by a massive photo leak and more spec information that we figured you would appreciate seeing/hearing about.
Fujifilm lovers rejoice! It looks like you have a brand new X-Series interchangeable lens shooter coming your way at the end of this month.
