Fuji X-T3 to get 1080/240fps in next firmware update?

February 22, 2020February 22, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

If this is true, we are in for some interesting improvements.

The Fuji X-T3 (and most likely X-T4) seem to be getting a 1080/240p high speed video mode.

Is this the Fuji X-H2 sensor with 12bit 8K?

X-H2 anyone? With the X-T4 confirmed to be staying at 4K, a big 8K door swings opens for a higher spec hybrid camera from Fujifilm.

Sony scraps 2020 mirrorless camera features to prioritise PS5 bill of materials cost

February 19, 2020February 19, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

According to a reputable report in the Japan Times, Sony has shelved new features planned for a 2020 mirrorless camera (thought to be the A7S III) due to a lack of DRAM memory supply (the A7 IV or A7S III was thought to have stacked DRAM sensor technology, inherited from the A9).

Fuji X-T4 body gets fully articulated screen – But Less X-H2, more X-T3.5!

February 16, 2020February 16, 2020 by Andrew Reid (EOSHD)

Here’s the new Fuji X-T4 due to be announced in 9 days on February 26th. Fuji chose to go with the familiar X-T3 body design and add IBIS, along with a fully articulated screen similar to the GH5. There’s now a stills/video toggle on the top panel, but no deeper grip or top-LCD like that found on the X-H1. I am disappointed it is not an X-H2 by design. The X-T4 uses the same sensor as the X-T3 and I am told there is no 6K as originally rumoured, but we’ll have to wait and see on that one.

A complete change in policy at Canon has transpired. The company has decided to compete in the mirrorless cinema market. With Cinema EOS established as a separate business, it seems the stills camera are off the leash. What a fantastic day it is for camera nerds and filmmakers alike who can rejoice in the specs and the creative possibilities of Canon’s new EOS R5 with 8K video and cutting edge new sensor technology.
