Fujifilm 2014 iF product design awards

We’ve known it for a long time, but now it’s official: Fujifilm’s X-series cameras are gorgeous! Not only do consumers unanimously agree that the X-series’ mix of retro styling and modern tech has a certain appeal, now also the committe responsible for the iF product design awards has agreed that Fujifilm has done a great job with the series. Consequently, they awarded five Fujifilm cameras this year, four of which are X-series cameras. And the iF product design award 2014 goes to …

It’s not the first time that Fujifilm is being officialy praised for its excellent product design. In 2012, the company scored an iF product design award for the original X100, and in 2013 they received both iF and red dot awards for the X10, XF1, X-Pro 1 and X-E1. So out of all the X-series cameras that Fujifilm has launched so far, only the X-E2, X-A1 and the recently launched X-T1 haven’t receive an award yet. Since however the X-E1 and X-E2 as well as the X-A1 and X-M1 are basically identical in design, it’s really only the X-T1 that hasn’t been lauded so far. But who knows what 2015 will bring …

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.

Opinion: The Fujifilm XT3’s Sensor Still Doesn’t Output Images That Look Totally Like Film (But They’re Nice)

The Fujifilm XT3 (or as they call it, the Fujifilm X-T3) is the company’s latest evolution to their SLR style camera body designed to be a workhorse for many photographers. Despite a whole lot of great and absolutely fantastic things built into the camera, I personally am wondering what Fujifilm’s goal is here with the idea of the X Trans sensor and Film Simulations. One of the reasons why I was so smitten with the X Pro 1 was the fact that it delivered images that really looked like well shot and developed film. To some extent, the Fujifilm XT2 did too but only really with Acros. With the latest iteration, the Fujifilm X-T3, the company is delivering a new 26.2MP X Trans Sensor that delivers the most beautiful colors of any APS-C sensor that we’ve seen. But at the same time, the film simulations just don’t feel right.
