DPRTV: Fujifilm X-T30II vs X-S10

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 6, 2021

DPRTV posted a Fujifilm X-T30II vs X-S10 comparison that tries to differentiate between the two cameras and which might be a better choice for you. Below is a summary of the above video:

  • The sticker on the battery door is the only way to tell the X-T30 and X-T30II apart
  • The LCD panel is also improved and the RAM
  • X-T30 does 18 shots at 8fps before slowing down and X-T30II does 23 shots
  • X-T30II At 5fps it goes from 23 shots to 46 shots
  • X-T30II has the new AF tracking system like the X-T4
  • X-T30II has Classic Neg and Eterna Bleach Bypass
  • F-log assist on X-T30II
  • X-T30II 1080p 240fps
  • Lots of minor upgrades bringing it up to the current standard
  • Fujifilm X-S10 is a departure from their current design strategy getting away from manual controls
  • Size and weight are similar but X-S10 has a bigger grip
  • Tech is basically parallel with the same EVF, but X-S10 rear LCD can fully articulate
  • X-T30II Buffer is improved over the X-S10 that matches the original X-T30 buffer
  • X-T30II still has a 2.5mm jack, but the X-S10 has a 3.5mm jack
  • X-S10 takes longer to overheat than the X-T30II
  • X-S10 has IBIS and X-T30II does not, which is great for photos and video
  • There is only a $100 difference between X-T30II and X-S10 with X-T30II being cheaper
  • If you prefer a traditional camera get the X-T30II and if you want DSLR style get the X-S10

FY2021 Q2: Fujifilm Financial Results – Instax and GFX100S Continue Performing Well

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 4, 2021


COVID-19 has certainly turned the world upside down, but it looks like Fujifilm is having a strong recovery from the pandemic according to its latest financial results. This isn’t really a surprise as others have seen a similar recovery, but it would be nice if we could get past the chip shortage so that cameras and lenses could be delivered in higher volumes.

Strong sales of instant photo systems and digital cameras boosted revenue by 30.2% year-over-year to ¥148.3 billion and operating income returned to the black year-over- year to ¥12.4 billion.

In the consumer imaging field, steady sales of instant photo systems and dry minilabs/ materials for retailers in the U.S. drove revenue higher. Sales of both instant photo systemfadevices and films fared well. The instax mini 40, launched in April 2021, and the instax mini Link smartphone printer have been well received in Japan and overseas markets.

In the professional imaging field, sales of digital cameras remained steady, including the FUJIFILM GFX100S, a mirrorless camera which has gained a high reputation worldwide for its superior image quality using a large format sensor despite its compact body. Sales of broadcast and cinema lenses, which had been hit by a decline in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, turned upward, contributing to higher revenue. The monitoring / measurement field, including long-range surveillance cameras and machine vision lenses, also achieved significantly higher revenue than last year.

Atomos Ninja V+ Discounted and Reviewed

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 3, 2021


The Atomos Ninja V is all you need for now to capture every format that current Fujifilm cameras can record, but the Atomos Ninja V+ will likely be required to fully utilize the capabilities of the Fujifilm X-H2 when it launches since it supports 8k. The Atomos Ninja V+ is currently discounted $500 at B&H Photo and the Atomos Ninja V is only $649 at B&H Photo at this time. So for only $350 more, you can get a somewhat future-proof video recorder.

Fujifilm GFX50S Now Discontinued According to B&H Photo

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 2, 2021


And just like that the Fujifilm GFX50S is now discontinued after we posted its incredibly discounted price a few hours ago. I was seriously considering picking one up to go with my GFX100 at the ridiculously low price point of $2,499 but I didn’t make up my mind fast enough. The GFX100 is an incredible camera, but the GFX50S will likely remain my favorite GFX for some time to come due to its lack of PDAF pixels and superior control layout that future GFX abandoned to attract DSLR users. I really hope Fujifilm brings back this body in the future without the bump.

The Fujifilm GFX50S is still available on Amazon and Adorama
