Fujifilm X-T3: Fujifilm Registered a New Charger That Might Indicate a New Battery


Nokishita spotted a new battery charger registered by Fujifilm in Korea the BC-W126S. This could be an updated design for charging the current NP-W126S, but I know everyone wants it to be a sign that Fujifilm is releasing a new battery for the Fujifilm X-T3 like Sony did with their Z-Batteries. If we are going to see a new battery from Fujifilm soon it will most likely be in the Fujifilm X-T3 since it is the beginning of Fujifilm’s next generation of cameras.

The Fujifilm X-T3 will let us know what to expect from future cameras like the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Fujifilm X-H2 since it is Fujifilm’s first completely new camera since the release of the Fujifilm X-Pro2. It’s highly likely that Fujifilm designed a new battery for the X-T3 due to the criticism and problems Fujifilm had with their current batteries. The release of the Fujifilm NP-W126S which matched the NP-W126 battery caused a lot of confusion that could have been avoided by just releasing a new battery with the Fujifilm X-T2 or X-H1.

DPReview TV: Fujifilm X-T100 Review

Chris and Jordan of DPReview tested the Fujifilm X-T100 and found it to be a great camera for people looking to get into photographer. It’s a camera that can grow with you in their opinion and I agree, but I found it interesting that they brought up X-Trans. Fujifilm does seem to be pushing away from X-Trans with quite a few of their cameras and it could be a sign of things to come.

I think X-Trans and the unique processing needed to make it presentable adds a little something to the Fujifilm look, but they have managed to maintain the look in cameras like the Fujifilm GFX50S so maybe we will have fewer X-Trans cameras going forward as pixel count goes up. I know some have looked forward to its retirement, while others have clung to it for no go reason.

Pros
Top left dial default of color profiles is programmable
The EVF and LCD are good for the price point
The LCD articulation is one of the best out there
Good graphic interface for menus
The new colors are great
Great with and without the grip
Built-in flash with decent power
Bluetooth/Wifi
430 shots per charge
XC15-45 focuses very smoothly
Improved AF over Fujifilm X-A5
Close to Canon Rebel performance
X-Trans not really needed today
Mic Jack
Reasonable 1080p
Good build quality
Very enjoyable to use
X-T100 > Canon EOS M50

Cons
No ACROS
Few steps in the XC15-45 zoom that bug Chris
Quick menu needs updating
The little nipple that covers the grip screw is easy to lose
The plastic dial on the back is in a weird position and can’t be customized
Quick menu button should be customizable to AF on and FN to the quick menu
Laggy touchscreen
XC15-45 is very plasticy
4k15p is basically useless but cleaner than 1080p
Bad Record button

Fujifilm Might Force Xerox Merger in Recent Court Fillings


The Fujifilm Xerox merger battle might not be over yet according to the nypost, which noticed that Fujifilm “quietly filed court papers this week saying it might seek to force the merger.” Even if they aren’t successful at forcing the merger they could “opt to collect the $183 million termination fee”, which wouldn’t be unheard of in a deal this size. If you’re interested you can find the filling here, by searching by the parties for Fujifilm.

Fujifilm XF10, XC10, XQ10 Trademarks Registered


Nokishita spotted the Fujifilm XF10 trademark being registered alongside the XC10 and XQ10. We will see soon enough if Fujifilm sticks to the XF10 name that has been long rumored here.

  • Fujifilm’s ” XF 10 ” ” XC 10 ” ” XQ 10 ” trademark was released on May 28, 2018
    • Since Fujifilm often applies similar name for hiding favorite (XF 10?), The other two are dummy?
