Sennheiser re-invents the MKE 400 – a compact shotgun mic that delivers the professional features you demand from a camera microphone
Wedemark, 7 April 2021 – For vloggers, videographers and mobile journalists, storytelling is equal parts art and craft. Perhaps more than anything else, it is sound that makes a story come to life. Whether interviews, commentary or ambience, sound is the key to captivating and drawing in an audience. To provide creators with a tool to explore their sonic horizons, Sennheiser has launched the new MKE 400 – a highly directional compact shotgun microphone that brings compelling audio to DSLR/Ms and mobile devices alike.

“Much has been said about the importance of good audio for video,” says Kai Lange, Senior Product Manager at Sennheiser. “Now, the new MKE 400 lets users experience how vastly it improves in-camera audio, lifting storytelling to the next level and wowing audiences. We’re replacing the well-known and much loved MKE 400 with this new model, and even die-hard fans will agree that the latest version surpasses the original in many ways. The new MKE 400 now also features a headphone monitoring output with volume control, has a rugged internal shock-mount, clever internal windscreen and automatic on/off function, plus it comes with ample accessories included.” Read More »

DPR: Fujinon XF70-300mm f/4-5.6 Review


The Fujinon XF70-300mm f/4-5.6 is a good compact lens with a lot of reach and I ordered one when the lens was announced to do some birding. So far I really like the lens and I am happy with its performance and  it seems so is DPR. You can read a summary of their findings below or read the full review here.

In most respects, the Fujifilm XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 turns in a great performance given its compact, lightweight design and quite affordable pricetag. And it will prove doubly attractive to Fujifilm X-mount shooters given the paucity of compelling alternatives, either from third parties or Fujifilm itself.

Conclusion

What we likeWhat we don’t
  • Great versatility and good build quality
  • Weather-sealed and well-stabilized
  • Compact and light for its type
  • Aperture ring is nice to have
  • Zoom lock disables automatically
  • Good, consistent sharpness
  • Ghosting isn’t an issue, and pretty nice sunstars too
  • Swift, silent autofocus and minimal breathing
  • Surprisingly good macro performance
  • Pairs nicely with optional 1.4x and 2x teleconverters
  • Feels quite plasticky
  • Focus and zoom rings are a bit ‘loosey-goosey’
  • Strong onion rings can make bokeh rather busy
  • Significant cat’s eye near the corners if shooting wide-open
  • AF and tracking slow down noticeably when using optional 2x teleconverter
  • Significant chromatic aberrations when using optional 2x teleconverter

DPR: Fujifilm X-E4 Reviewed and Receives A Silver Award


DPR published its full Fujifilm X-E4 review here today and gave the camera a silver award with a score of 85%. The X-E line was one of my favorites until I stepped up to the X-T line of cameras, but the new compact X-E4 is making me consider one as a second body for my X-T4.

“Ultimately, the X-E4 is a camera with a lot to offer and we suspect it is going to make a lot of photographers happy, especially those craving a near-pocket-size X-mount body with Fujifilm’s latest IQ performance. For those upgrading from other Fujifilm bodies, the lack of buttons will likely take some getting used to, but don’t let that be a deal-breaker. This is a camera anyone on staff at DPReview would be happy to grab for an afternoon of street photography or take on a long vacation – once that’s a thing again.”

What we likeWhat we don’t like
  • Excellent image quality, pleasing JPEG color
  • Nice classic styling and compact design
  • Strong video feature set with good-quality Full HD and 4K video
  • The tilting touch screen is highly-responsive
  • Can use USB-C port for headphones with included dongle
  • In-camera charging
  • Good battery life
  • Autofocus tracking performance lags behind the competition
  • No animal detection AF mode
  • We miss having a rear dial and focus mode selector (like on X-E3)
  • More custom buttons would be nice
  • The camera is slippery without accessory grip
  • No in-body stabilization
  • No weather-sealing
