DPR: Fujifilm X-T200 Reviewed and Receives Silver Award

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 19, 2020


DPR reviewed the Fujifilm X-T200 the other day and they gave the camera a lot of praise for a budget camera. The new Fujfilm X-T200 surpasses the original in many ways and would be great for amateurs. You can read the full review here or just see the key points below.

What we likeWhat we don’t
  • Updated sensor has low noise levels and wide dynamic range
  • Pleasing colors in JPEGs
  • Reliable face and eye detection
  • Gigantic and bright 3.5″ touchscreen
  • Well-designed touch interface lets smartphone users avoid dials and menus
  • Dynamic Range settings make it easy to cope with contrast in backlit scenes
  • Mic and headphone sockets (the latter via an included adapter)
  • Good quality oversampled 4K video
  • ‘Digital gimbal’ feature smooths out very shaky video (though at 1080/30p and below)
  • USB charging
  • You can’t select a focus point if faces are detected automatically
  • Poor quality Full HD video
  • No subject tracking in video
  • Joystick is small and not well-placed
  • Eye sensor does not disable when LCD is flipped outward
  • Limited customizability
  • Functionality of left-most dial isn’t consistent between modes
  • Buffer fills quickly when shooting bursts
  • Can’t adjust exposure compensation in manual modes when using Auto ISO
  • Average battery life

Fujifilm Dominates 2020 World Press Photo Awards

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 16, 2020


Some do not think Fujiflm cameras make the cut for professional work, but the 2020 World Press Photo Awards were dominated by Fujifilm and Nikon equally with Sony falling far behind and Canon towards the middle of the pack. Further, a Fujifilm X-H1 was used by Yasuyoshi Chuba to capture the above winning image. Below is the break down of the camera brands used.

From the break down it looks like the Fujifilm X100 is by far the most popular camera use among photojournalists and some had multiplied Fujifilm cameras credited according to thephoblographer’s break down.

DPR: Sirui 50mm f/1.8 Anamorphic

By Louis Ferreira | Published: April 16, 2020


If you want blue flair and a 2.35:1 CinemaScope look that allows you to close focus enough for headshots then the Sirui 50mm f/1.8 Anamorphic is your best affordable option on the market right now. I hope that in the not too distant future we will see more of these lenses from third parties because the look is fantastic for film and photography.

Offering this lens in X mount makes a lot more sense now than it would have just a year ago – Fujifilm has upped its video game considerably with the X-H1, X-T4 and new firmware for the X-T3. The Eterna mode makes nice video straight out of the camera, but we also have F-Log and decent data rates too.

The Fujifilm X-T3 doesn’t technically need the grip to shoot video, as the body had both mic and headphone ports, but the grip makes the system easier to hold with the weight of the lens on the front. As with the Sony, you’ll need an external display with an anamorphic preview feature to see the de-squeezed image in real time. – DPR
