Fujifilm Xerox Merger Settlement Allowed to Expire

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 6, 2018


We will never know what might have happened if the Xerox’s settlement offer was accepted to try to move things forward, which expired at 8:00 p.m. ET on May 3, 2018, because now Xerox is looking to fight for the merger alongside Fujifilm. Up until this point Fujifilm has largely remained silent, but they are now pushing to have the original terms of the deal fulfilled, while Xerox is looking to make the deal a little better for shareholders.

The renewed energy to fight off the lawsuit from activist shareholders seems to be the result of Xerox’s stock slumping after the announcement of the settlement. It seems like shareholders and the market want this deal to go through so the merger might happen with a few tweaks. Xerox has already appealed the decision to hold up the merger and Deason and Icahn have vowed to fight to block the merger until the end so this could go on for some time. It seems Deason and Icahn want Fujifilm to purchase all of Xerox or for them to not have control over the company as part of the deal, but these seem like unlikely demands to be satisfied based on the original deal. We will continue to follow the story as it unfolds.

DPReview TV: Fujifilm X-H1

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 6, 2018

Chris and Jordan took the Fujifilm X-H1 to the Zoo for their latest review and both seem to really like the camera for photos and video, but the X-H1 has some stiff competition. At its current price point, it has to compete with a lot of specialty cameras and cameras with a larger sensor. The X-H1 also has some quirks like the shutter button that not everyone enjoys, which Chris says Fujifilm can adjust it for you.

It sounds like they think the most stand out feature about the Fujifilm X-H1 right now is the internal Eterna profile that allows for rapid video turn around, but you can record in F-Log on the X-T2 and apply the Eterna LUT instead. The X-H1 will save a little weight over a comparable DSLR, but it’s still a big camera. I think the X-H platform is off to a great start, but the Fujifilm X-H2 might be the truly standout camera in the future like the Fujifilm X-T2 was when it was released. The Fujifilm X-H1 will certainly make creatives looking for a hybrid Fujifilm camera happy, but Fujifilm’s ergonomics and workflow remain the standout feature.
