Some thoughts about the just announced Fujifilm X-E5, and its companion the 23mm f/2.8 pancake lens. Another camera I don’t have that I will talk about. Take the X-T5, with 40 megapixel, IBIS and everything, put it in the X-E4 form factor, with the EVF on the side like on a rangefinder camera. Add a… Continue reading Fujifilm X-E5 and 23mm f/2.8 pancake
Link: Fuji X half 2
I did joke about how the X half announcement would have been better on 1st of April. The Machine Planet tells us that Fujifilm announces Fuji X Half 2 digital camera: SATIRICA, N.Y., MAY 22, 2029 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Electronic Imaging Division, today announced the launch of its FUJIFILM X Half 2™ premium… Continue reading Link: Fuji X half 2
Fujifilm X half
This is it. The long rumored “Half frame” Fujifilm compact camera has been announced. Its name is X half, first of its name. A lot of the new videos on my YouTube feed are about it today, and this is my cold take as I don’t have the camera. It’s not the new revision of… Continue reading Fujifilm X half
Ricoh GR IV
While tomorrow Fujifilm is supposed to announce a new compact camera, today Ricoh just announced the Ricoh GR IV, for release in the fall of 2025.

Link: Interview of Fujifilm’s executives about the GFX100RF
DPReview has an interview of Fujifilm executives about the GFX 100RF. Part of the reasoning is that the GFX100RF is a much more expensive camera than the X100VI, which means it needs to feel more premium. “At the beginning, when we discussed how we should design the camera, we already knew about the price point.… Continue reading Link: Interview of Fujifilm’s executives about the GFX100RF

Question on the Pentax 17 future
As Kosmo Photo reports that the main designer left Pentax, people are questioning the Pentax 17 future, or more realistically future Pentax film cameras. Ricoh Imaging has said the Pentax Film Project – which led to the release of the Pentax 17 last summer – is now on hold while it investigates whether there is… Continue reading Question on the Pentax 17 future
Canon V-Series
“V-Series”: I just made up that name. On March 26, for their video-first cameras line, Canon announced the global availability of the PowerShot V1, hoping that they sorted their manufacturing capacity. They also announced the Canon EOS R50V, a reworked version of the entry level APS-C sensor EOS R50, stripped of the viewfinder, and with… Continue reading Canon V-Series
Link: Impossibly Possible – The Fujifilm GFX100RF review
Jonas Rask tells Impossibly Possible – The Fujifilm GFX100RF review. This very comprehensive review of the GFX 100RF as Rask had it for a few month before it was even announced. Rask really like panoramic cameras like the X-Pan or the Fuji G617, which make this camera possibly a natural fit for him.
