DPRTV: The Best Entry-Level Mirrorless APS-C Camera – Fujifilm X-T100 vs. Sony a6000 vs. Canon EOS M50

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 29, 2018

Chris and Jordan explore the Fujifilm X-T100, Sony a6000, and Canon EOS M50 for DPReview TV and come to an interesting final conclusion.

Design and Aesthetics (Fujifilm feels better and more solid)

  1. Fujifilm X-T100
  2. Canon EOS M50
  3. Sony a6000

Autofocus (All do a great job with AF-S so this is primarily AF-C)

  1. Canon EOS M50
  2. Sony a6000
  3. Fujifilm X-T100

Image Quality (Fujifilm’s color science beats Canon’s regularly now)

  1. Fujifilm X-T100
  2. Canon EOS M50
  3. Sony a6000

Lens Lineup (Fujifilm has the best APS-C glass without adapting glass)

  1. Fujifilm X-T100
  2. Sony a6000
  3. Canon EOS M50

Price (These cameras are at different price points without rebates)

  1. Sony a6000
  2. Fujifilm X-T100 and Canon EOS M50

Video (Fujifilm needs to fix their low-end camera video performance)

  1. Canon EOS M50
  2. Sony a6000
  3. Fujifilm X-T100

Overall winner

  1. Canon EOS M50
  2. Fujifilm X-T100
  3. Sony a6000

Even though the Fujifilm X-T100 did well throughout the competition it seems like DPRTV went a bit out of their way to create some additional categories so they could hand the Canon the win. For instance price… should rebates be taken into consideration? I can be sympathetic about AF being a huge selling point for true beginners that do not understand how to set up their AF and that may never want to but at the same time, Fujifilm controls make it incredibly easy to learn photography.

Maybe DPRTV should have had a double win like they did for the tied pricing… I think a statement like “the Canon EOS M50 is best for beginners that just want to take photos, while the Fujifilm X-T100 is best for beginners that want to learn photography” would be a more accurate and nuanced conclusion. If you assign point values to the ranks then the X-T100 and M50 are tied, while the a6000 falls behind largely due to its age.

Fringer EF/FX Firmware v2.20 is Now Available

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 28, 2018


Finally, X-H1’s IBIS works properly!

The new firmware has changed IS control logics of both IS lenses and camera’s IBIS functions.

– For lenses with IS (or OS/VC)

When IS switch on the lens is on, IS function is controlled by camera menu. Mode 1 (Continuous): IS function is always on. Mode 2 (Shooting only): IS function is activated when shutter release button half-pressed and deactivated about 2 seconds after its release. Be noted that if camera body has IBIS, it will be disabled if a lens with built-in IS function is installed.

– For lenses without IS function installed on a camera with IBIS.

Begin with V2.20, IBIS function of X-H1 works properly. It’s controlled by the menu, i.e. Mode 1 (Continuous), Mode 2 (Shooting only) and OFF, which is similar to native XF lenses without built-in IS function.

Be noted, IBIS performance of lenses longer than 100mm may be poor.

In addition to IS function change, following lenses have been added to tested and opimized lens list.

And following lenses have been improved in AF performance or new lens firmware compatibility.

Visit my website to download the detailed release notes and V2.20 firmware file.

Make sure current firmware of your adapter is V2.x before installing the new firmware. If it’s V1.x, please install V2.10 first. Read the release notes for more details.

Fringer EF-FX Pro adapter is open for pre-order now. This batch would begin to be shipped before August 3. Please visit my web store to place your order.

Thank you!

Laowa 24mm f/14 Relay 2x Macro Lens Specifications

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 27, 2018



Photorumors received some additional information about the Laowa 24mm f/14 Relay 2x Macro Lens. Unfortunately, this lens will not be native X-mount, but they will likely sell it with an adapter like the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra-Macro. While this is less than ideal Venus Optic lenses are all manual so you shouldn’t miss out on much by adopting this lens for X-mount if you’re interested. This lens will launch on August 1st via Kickstarter (For $1 if you’re one of the first) and it will later be available on their site.

Elinchrom Brings ELB 500 TTL Compatibility For Sony And Olympus Users With Fujifilm To Shortly Follow

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 26, 2018


Elinchrom Brings ELB 500 TTL Compatibility For Sony And Olympus Users With Fujifilm To Shortly Follow
Canon®, Nikon®, Sony®, Olympus® and Panasonic® users can now have it all. All existing Elinchrom HS Transmitters can be updated to the Transmitter PRO version, which includes TTL functionality for the ELB 500 TTL.

Right after Nikon and Canon, Hi-Sync, HSS and TTL are now available for Sony and Olympus users too.
TTL, HSS or Hi-Sync. All features a photographer may need are now compiled in one single transmitter.

Using an ELB 1200 with Hi-Sync synchronisation or an ELB 500 TTL with HSS, the Transmitter PRO will detect automatically in which mode to switch. Even better, using an ELB 1200 with a Hi-Sync head along with a ELB 500 TTL in the same setup is possible (manual mode). Hi-Sync and HSS just work seamlessly.

Compatibility for all with the ELB 500 TTL.
The ELB 500 TTL is the ideal tool for photographers who find themselves in time sensitive shooting environments where the inherent speed of TTL lets them capture images at the speed of life or for those who simply prefer the convenience of TTL.

The “Manual Lock” functionality allows photographers to get an initial “lock” on their exposure in TTL and then switch to manual mode to further adjust their exposure as they need or to explore different creative effects.

A new version (2.2) for Canon and Nikon also brings more features, stability and support for third part devices such as Rotolight.

These features are built-in right from the start on versions 2.1 for Sony and Olympus.

Fujifilm, the wait is over.
Users of the long-awaited Transmitter for Fujifilm will soon be rewarded for their wait. The Transmitter PRO for Fujiilm will be available in September.

Fujifilm Might Continue Producing ACROS Film If They Can Make It Viable

By Louis Ferreira | Published: July 26, 2018


Fujifilm has been discounting their film pretty aggressively throughout the past year, but there might be some hope for Black and White fans. According to itmedia.co.jp Fujifilm is looking into a way to reliably source the materials needed to produce their black and white film after the run on film this year which still continues at B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama, and the many voices that spoke out to save ACROS.

Fujifilm’s primary issue with continuing to produce film at this time seems to be more tightly tied to cost and raw material procurement than a lack of demand, so maybe they will find a way around their stated issues. If not then they could also raise their prices to slow demand and make film more profitable. Either way, these are still early days for Fujifilm looking into saving the format and a lot can happen between now and 2019. We might even see them decided to save more film types if sales remain strong and voices loud. This is almost entirely up to the community at this time, because Fujifilm hasn’t completely divested its self of their film business yet.
