Fujifilm FP-100C May Not Go Quietly

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 12, 2016

FP100c

Two weeks ago, we wrote about the announcement of Fujifilm FP-100C being discontinued. Shortly after the announcement, we were contacted about a petition to save Fujifilm FP-100C that quickly reached 10,000 signatures on change.org. Today, the petition is almost at 15,000 signatures, and there are other interesting developments.

For one, skyrocking sales on places like Amazon, B&H Photo, and Adorama have not gone unnoticed, so according to some sources, production might continue. Further, Florian Kaps, a founder of the IMPOSSIBLE Project, is now on a mission to save Fujifilm FP-100C and is actively encouraging people to join http://savepackfilm.net/, which is an extension of the original petition we were contacted about after publishing our initial article. You can find daily updates on his blog.

It seems like the movement has a lot of momentum, if you’re interested in this format continuing, make sure to sign the petition and show your support by continuing to drive sales so Fujifilm can see there is still demand for this format. Maybe Fujifilm FP-100C will be rescued from extinction by the Internet. Either way, we will continue to follow the story as it develops.

CameraStoreTV Fuji Bonanza

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 11, 2016

CameraStoreTV is on a Fuji tear lately making videos for new and old Fuji cameras. The most positive being the Fuji X70 video review, which I have no doubt is a great coat pocket camera. Chris seems to really enjoy shooting with this little power house and briefly talks about how it compares to the Ricoh GR. They also have two slightly different videos about the X-Pro 2. The original video is a more favorable one then the more recent one so I recommend watching both if you want to understand their perspective. Read More »

Fujifilm X-Pro 2 + Fujinon XF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR + XF1.4X TC WR

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 10, 2016

Yesterday I went to Zoo Miami (Metro Zoo) with my Fujifilm X-Pro 2 and Fujinon XF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS + XF1.4X TC WR to see what the combination could do and I was not disappointed. I setup an X-Pro 2 album on 500px to share my photos as I prepare them for the review. I will be posting my full XF100-400 review shortly with commentary about how it performed on the X-T1 and X-Pro 2 soon, but if you want the most up to date information follow us on Twitter.

Fujifilm X-Pro 2 PROVIA Video

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 9, 2016

Continuing with yesterdays theme here are some standard PROVIA videos to check out. I also forgot to add that the internal microphone was used while recording on the X-Pro 2 and everything was set to automatic/stock so I made no attempt to adjust levels. I haven’t made any adjustments to these videos either and they were shot using PROVIA with no grain. I’ll more fully report on my experience in the review later this month. Read More »
