We’ve finally finished our Fujifilm X-T2 review. Overall, it’s a fantastic camera. It offers wonderful image quality and perhaps the best reliability of any Fujifilm camera we’ve tested. We’ve been told that it was designed to be a workhorse, and for the most part it really is.
Canon took a big step towards giving the world a serious mirrorless camera offering this year with the release of their EOS-M5, but that APS-C offering does not satisfy the needs of professionals wanting another option to Sony’s full frame A7 series cameras. It would seem though, at least according to recent reports, that Canon is aware of this and that development on their own full frame mirrorless offering is underway.
If you had any questions about if Fujifilm would continue their X-A line of low-cost bayer (not X-Trans) based cameras, you now have your answer… maybe.

Amsterdam based photographer, Jeroen Nieuwhuis, of New Day Studio, has completed a compelling personal project entitled People of Cuba. The 16 image portrait series captures people Nieuwhuis and his colleagues met during their recent trip to Cuba.

Let’s face it, one of the hardest parts about photographing in a new and unfamiliar place is finding the good spots to shoot. It takes time, knowledge and skill to roam an area finding the best spots to shoot even when you live in an area, so finding enough time to do so while you are traveling or visiting a new place is difficult. Luckily a new app called Streetography aims to make this process easier by crowd sourcing image location data to highlight the best places to shoot.
“I also inspired by Haiku, short poem originated in Japan, it teaches me to be simple and look at this world in the most contemplative way. Haiku is about nature and nature is the place where I seek my freedom, expression, and identity.”
One of the latest companies to hit the scene is Irix. They’ve been around for a few years, but the Swedish company is gaining more and more recognition for some carefully thought out new features and attention to details.
