FUJIFILM X-E4 Overview
Fujifilm seems to be in an unstoppable rampage right now. A couple of days ago, we were all mind-blasted with the new GFX 100S. A camera so powerful and innovative, that made a lot of photographers turn their heads around. And even when not actually buying it, the same camera is perceived as a finally-affordable medium format camera. Meaning that a lot of professionals are seriously considering the investment. In fact, Fujifilm has had such a massive acceptance, that they've announced some shipping delays due to a lack of supply. But enough about that sweet medium format unicorn. Let's talk about another release made by Fuji in the aforementioned days, the Fuji X-E4!
As you have already noticed, we love coupling cameras together in romantic-like analogies. Therefore, it won't surprise you to see another reference to a sweet photographic blend. The X-E4 is truly like having a range-finder and point & shoot camera with us, with lens interchangeable capabilities in a compact mirrorless body. This is also the fourth release of the X-E camera system, but with some wicked upgrades.
FUJIFILM GFX 100S Overview
We aren't sure why Fujifilm is teasing the full-frame manufacturers with their new motto "more than Full-frame", especially when their medium format angle is extremely clear. They should even tease more on Hasselblad and the other big names with something like "proving that medium format is accessible" or something like that. Either way, we are extremely excited about this new GFX 100S camera, which made us think about it like a Mark II of the GFX 100, but boy, we were wrong.
In simple words, the GFX 100S is a 2021 upgrade of the original GFX 100, but in a way more compact size. Because, we have to be honest about it, the GFX 100 was a behemoth camera for several shooters. Especially those closely related and emotionally attached to Fujifilm. You know, agile content creators that love traveling and street photographers worldwide. But of course, at $5,999.00, there are some good stuff that deserve a further reading. So let's get down with them.
SONY ANNOUNCES ALPHA α1 MIRRORLESS CAMERA
This is the One.
And we are definitely not kidding about that statement. Sony has a new flagship camera so powerful, that makes us think that, in fact, the α7 (all marks) was never their ultimate flagship camera. The brand new Sony α1 is the ultimate camera built to do EVERYTHING in an unbelievable way. But, don't expect it to be cheap. Listed at $6,498.00 body only, is not an entry level camera at all. This dark unicorn is aimed at the serious visual content creators (yeah, that's a cool way to refer to both photographers and videographers alike) for sure.
RESEÑA DE LA CANON EOS M50 MARK II
Tiempo atrás, una de las cámaras de vlogueo favoritas de Canon recibió una ligera actualización, y hemos decidido revisarla. Estamos hablando de la M50 Mark II de Canon; misma que contrariamente a las expectativas, viene con solo algunas mejoras y características, especialmente diseñadas para el uso orientado a redes sociales y creación de contenido.
Esta cámara está disponible por $599.00, en su versión de solo el cuerpo; o en $699.00 con una lente de zoom EF-M de 15-45 mm. Básicamente, es una versión renovada de la anterior M50 Mark I de Canon; y al igual que ella, las características de la Mark II siguen siendo bastante similares con un sensor CMOS de 24.1 megapíxeles con ISO 100-25600 y un procesador de imágenes DIGIC 8 que permite que la cámara grabe vídeo 4K a 24 cuadros por segundo.
CÁMARA DE CINE CANON EOS C70
Esto es grande, y aunque por obvias razones ($$$) aún no hemos podido estar cerca de una, hay muchísima información disponible que hemos decidido resumir para ustedes. La cinematografía difiere bastante de la fotografía, tanto en su formato como en sus herramientas.
Al pensar en ello, ambas son dependen de cámaras, pero sus diferencias hacen que para muchos fotógrafos resulte confuso comprender de qué van las verdaderas cámaras de cine (video), y viceversa. Sin más preámbulos, echemos un vistazo a la última cámara de cine de Canon, la EOS C70.
CANON EOS C70 CINEMA CAMERA
This is huge! And although we still haven't been able to get our hands around it, there's tons of information out there for us to take an approach to it. Cinema is quite different from photography in many ways, and video-dedicated cameras and optics are perhaps the most notorious ones. When we think about it, they both are completely distinct mediums that rely on cameras, making it confusing for some photographers to understand what true cinema cameras are all about, and vice-versa.
Without further-ado, let's take a broad and general look at Canon's latest cinema camera, the EOS C70.
Sony's New HVL-F28RM Flash
SONY ANUNCIA UNA COMPACTA LENTE ZOOM FE 28-60MM ƒ4-5.6 PARA FORMATO COMPLETO
Hace algún tiempo, mencionamos brevemente a este pequeño y ligero objetivo con sabor a un kit anunciado por Sony luego de que la nueva cámara ɑ7C saliera al mercado. En ese momento, solo estaba disponible con la cámara, pero más tarde se convirtió en una solución óptica independiente.
Sólo con su título de FE 28-60 mm ƒ/4.0~5.6 ya se intuye que es un lente de nivel de entrada, así que ¿para qué molestarse en hacer una revisión de una kit? Bueno, simplemente porque no lo es. Este objetivo es un verdadero equivalente de formato completo de 28-60mm a 35mm, lo que la hace perfecta para una amplia variedad de propósitos fotográficos; especialmente para hacer fotografías en la calle, lo cuál es una de nuestras actividades favoritas desde que nos relacionamos estrechamente con la fotografía.
