New Sennheiser MKE 200 Ultracompact Camera-Mount Directional Microphone


Sennheiser released a new compact mic for mirrorless cameras the Sennheiser MKE 200.

New MKE 200 microphone enhances audio for cameras and mobile devices

Old Lyme, Connecticut, September 1, 2020 – Audio specialist Sennheiser adds the new MKE 200 to its portfolio of audio-for-video microphones. The mini-microphone is designed for easy on-camera use with DSLRs and mirrorless cameras as well as mobile devices, where it ensures clean and crisp audio and gives that professional touch to video clips.
“With the MKE 200, we are offering creators the first step to upgrading their sound,” said Tobias von Allwörden, Head of Portfolio Management – Audio for Video at Sennheiser. “Improved audio significantly increases the overall quality of your content. The MKE 200 makes this possible with its unique design which minimizes handling and wind noise. Simply attach it to the shoe mount, select the appropriate cable for your device and you’re good to go!”

Directional, clean audio
The MKE 200 features a directional design which captures the sound of your subject while rejecting unwanted background noise. To minimize any handling noise, the microphone is fitted with a clever internal shock-mount which acoustically decouples the capsule from the housing. To protect from wind noise, Sennheiser engineers designed the MKE 200 with an integrated layer of protective mesh inside the housing. This protection is further enhanced by using the included furry windshield when filming outdoors.

A compact companion
The MKE 200 features a compact, sleek design with a stylish finish thanks to a fully integrated shock-mount and built-in windscreen. Battery-free operation and a lightweight design allow for optimal gimbal performance.

The MKE 200 comes complete with a furry windshield, two locking connection cables for DSLRs or mirrorless cameras (3.5 mm TRS cable) and mobile devices (3.5 mm TRRS cable) plus a draw-string pouch for storage.

Fujifilm GFX100 Salt Water Exposure: A Very Expensive Lesson


Lensrentals had one of its Fujifilm GFX100 get briefly exposed to saltwater and it was declared DOA by insurance, but of course Lensrentals found a little more value in the unit by making a teardown post, which you can read here. The teardown reveals a few interesting details about the GFX100 and the first big take away for me is that I will be more careful with my GFX100 and the elements in the future.

I think most photographers know how dangerous saltwater can be for a camera, but this light splash of saltwater got disturbingly deep into the GFX100, which is disappointing to me as an owner. This confirms what I have suspected for some time that the GFX100 isn’t as well sealed as the GFX50S was because there are almost no gaskets in the GFX100.

On the plus side, the IBIS unit in the camera is built to last and built correctly along with the huge shutter that isn’t physically mounted to the body at all. The GFX100 should operate problem-free for years to come if it is well cared for. We also now know more details about the GFX100 sensor stack “The sensor stack had three pieces of glass measured at 0.9mm for the top, 1.34mm total for the second sandwich and 1mm glued to the sensor. That’s 3.24mm of total glass thickness for those of you interested, not counting the two air gaps between the glass plates.”

The GFX100 certainly seems to be built like a brick, but I am personally disappointed in the lack of weather sealing in the camera. The seals in the teardown are diminutive in a camera that has enough room to house full-sized screws. Maybe Fujifilm was hoping that the internal volume of the camera would provide additional protection, but from this teardown, it looks like the saltwater wicked up into the delicate parts of the camera via surface tension and capillary action wrecking almost everything. Sure rainwater isn’t as dangerous but why take the change with a $10,000 camera?

NEVER STOP: TV Commercials To Be Released in Japan and The US on August 27th


Fujifilm Group Global Branding Campaign
‘NEVER STOP Healthcare 2020’
TV Commercials to be released in Japan and the US on August 27th

FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is pleased to announce the launch of its ‘NEVER STOP Healthcare 2020’ global branding campaign, which aims to promote widespread awareness of its wide range of healthcare-related business fields in which Fujifilm is now engaged. As COVID-19 wreaks havoc around the world, our ‘NEVER STOP Healthcare 2020’ campaign will communicate the fact that Fujifilm is a comprehensive healthcare company actively combating COVID-19 in the fields of prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and that Fujifilm will NEVER STOP taking on new challenges to protect and enhance the health of people around the world.

To raise awareness of the diversification of Fujifilm’s business portfolio to a wide audience and our determination to NEVER STOP taking on challenges to contribute to the resolution of societal issues, we launched our NEVER STOP global branding campaign in October 2018. In our current campaign we are promoting awareness that Fujifilm has succeeded in moving away from being a primarily photographic company and is now actively engaged and creating new value in a wide array of business fields. The NEVER STOP tagline also conveys our strong determination to communicate to a global audience that Fujifilm will ‘NEVER STOP’ working until all resolvable issues have been eradicated.

On August 27th, a series of TV commercials will be launched in Japan and the US. We also plan to roll out this campaign to Europe, China, India and Australia.
