The Brenizer technique gives you a wide field of view while providing telephoto bokeh similar to medium format. For the demo photo, he does in this video he uses 24 photos for the Brenizer Technique starting with a safety photo of a decent composition and including photos from all around the subject that is later stitched together and then cropped in Lightroom.

Sony’s New Full Frame X-E Impersonator The Sony a7C is Impressive

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 11, 2020


The new Sony a7C leaked last night over at Sonyaddict and I noticed how close the new Sony a7C and Fujifilm X-E3 are in size so I decided to make the above accurate size comparison. Both cameras are 24mp and both have a 3″ rear touch screen, but the Sony a7C has a significantly larger battery than the Fujifilm X-E3 and it still has IBIS plus shoots at 10 fps and the screen is fully articulating.

As for the size and weight comparison

Sony a7C
124 × 71.1 × 59.7mm
509g

Fujifilm X-E3
121.3 x 73.9 x 42.7 mm
337 g

As for how the size and weight compare the Fujfiilm X-E3 is still lightest by 172g. The X-E3 is even a little taller than the a7C by 2.8mm, but the Sony a7C is wider by 2.7mm and deeper by 17mm, which is probably mostly in the grip to hold the Sony’s new large NP-FZ100 battery.

This gives us some hope that the Fujifilm X-E line will get IBIS sooner than later, maybe even in the Fujifilm X-E4. Fujifilm could also use its new Fujifilm NP-W235 battery in the grip like Sony does to keep the body from getting too big.

Fujifilm Patent Shows New Camera Interface

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 9, 2020

Fujifilm improves their cameras more than anyone else via frequent firmware updates, but the latest patients found by dclife are very interesting ones because they are likely coming soon. Fujifilm film simulations are some of the best on the market, but it is often difficult to see how simulation might affect a photo.

Now it looks like Fujifilm will add an adjustable split-screen view to their RAW editor to help photographers pick the simulation that is best for them instead of processing the photo multiple times to compare later by flipping back and forth through your images. This kind of feature is overdue with how many simulations Fujifilm now provides users, but I think it would be even more interesting if you could use this feature before taking a photo for the ultimate purist. I think this tool could be useful in LiveView, but the patent doesn’t seem to hint at that functionality.

It would be great to see this feature come via a firmware update for the Fujifilm X-T4 in the future, but it is more likely for a larger screen camera like a Fujifilm X-A8/X-A9 since the Fujifilm X-A7 has a pretty large screen on it already at 3.5″ instead of 3.0″ or 3.2″. This could also be used on a new unknown camera like the Fujifilm X-H2 if they put a larger screen on the large body Fujifilm camera line.

Update: Turns out this is already on the X-T200 so it would be nice to see on future large screen cameras because this is useful to more than entry-level photographers.

Fujifilm Wonder Photo Shop NYC Closing Permanently

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 9, 2020


Fujifilm just sent out a notice that COVID-19 has forced them to close the NYC Fujifilm Wonder Photo Shop for good. I am glad I had the opportunity to visit it when I was last in NYC and it will be missed, but the pandemic is wrecking retail business in the United States right now so I am not surprised. Below is what they sent out:

Thank you for your ongoing support of the FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop in New York City as we’ve all continued to adjust to this “new normal”. Unfortunately, we have some sad news to share with you, our valued Wonder Photo Shop customers. We have decided to close the New York City store permanently, effective September 9, 2020. This unprecedented time in our history has allowed us to re-evaluate the Wonder Photo Shop model and while our New York City store is closing, we will be introducing a new omni-channel shopping experience, led by e-commerce, that will begin to roll-out October 2020. From there we intend to bring a new in-store experience to the US market at some point in 2021.

Having personal opportunities to connect with our customers is very important to us, and FUJIFILM North America Corporation is developing initiatives to ensure that you will have seamless access to the products you know and trust. Additionally, our social media channels will remain active, so together we can continue to share the joy of photography. We’ll also be updating our social channels with the latest exciting developments on what we have planned next for you.FA

If you are a FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop customer with a current order in the store, please contact [email protected] and we will work with you to fulfill your orders.

Thank you for your years of support and patronage of the FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop. Stay tuned for more information regarding our next consumer experience.

Sincerely,
The Wonder Photo Shop NYC staff
