Fujifilm X-Pro 2 ACROS Video

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 8, 2016

I wanted to see how much Fuji improved it’s video so I shot a few videos last night of some local performers at an open mic night with the X-Pro 2 set to full auto. I haven’t made any adjustments to these videos and they were shot using ACROS with varying grain. The only major issue I ran into was a 15 min recording limit that preventing me from recoding some of the jam sessions. I’ll more fully report on my experience in the review later this month.

Does The X-Pro 2 Have a Problem?

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 6, 2016

X-Pro-2-Batteries C

What’s a new camera release without a scandal? I have been using my X-Pro 2 consistently since receiving it Friday and have only experienced ONE camera reset while using a fully charged official Fuji battery my first time shooting. This was a foreseeable possibility since the launch date was delayed by about a month.

Fuji clearly warns against leaving the camera without a battery for too long, and the delay might have caused the reset issue that SOME of us have experienced. There have been plenty of users reporting a trouble-free shooting experience. The reason for this should be obvious, too.  They received a more recently manufactured camera. Read More »

Last weekend I took just the Fujinon XF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS to the Florida Renaissance Festival to see how it performed and it worked well for shooting performances and even roaming performers. I setup an album on 500px to share my photos as I prepare them for the review. I am pretty much done shooting this lens for my review, but I plan to also try it on the X-Pro 2 briefly to see how it performs. Follow us and check out my first few X-Pro 2 shots on Twitter. Read More »

Fuji Looks Forward

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 4, 2016

The future of the X series looks bright and Fuji is speaking very frankly about the direction they are taking in their latest interview with DSLR magazine. Fuji is definitely feeling the pressure to release the XT-2 in some markets, but in their home market of Asia there is more pressure for them to update cameras like the XA, which could point to less differentiation than I originally anticipated.

Interestingly, they mention EVF resolution and how 3 million points (probably pixels, it is translated) is becoming standard and that the move to 4 million points may be considered fairly equivalent to a DSLR viewfinder. The Leica EVF that I have been hoping the XT-2 adopts has 4.4MP, so maybe they are looking to adopt the same Epson EVF in the Leica SL. Read More »
