Strange Pixels In The Fujifilm X-T3 EVF and LCD

I reported in my Fuji X-T3 review strange pixels appearing in the LCD and EVF. Now with some comments I'm seeing other people are having the same issue. You won't see this issue if you're just casually shooting with autofocus lenses and you won't see it and indoor lighting conditions or in low light. To simulate this issue, you will have to be looking at the 100% cropped in view of the LCD or EVF and you need to point the camera into bright light, or if there is very bright colors like a blue sky. Blue skies are actually the best way to see these strange pixels in the Fujifilm X-T3.

I won't dive to deep into the nitty-gritty of the specs, rather we'll take an in depth look at what X-T3 is really all about; the user interface, how you can customize camera output and the experience of using it, with some beautiful specs sprinkled on top of course.

Fujifilm X-T3 Announced | Great Price and Specs!

The moment has arrived. The Fujifilm X-T3 is officially announced! I want to say this is Fujifilm's flagship camera but it's actually not. This is their photography centric camera with incredible video specs, shooting 4k video at 60fps with 10-bit 4:2:0 internal recording and 4:2:2 external recording with a 400Mbps codec. That pretty much just killed GH5s and marks X-T3 as the best mirrorless hybrid camera for video.

Did Canon Just Win? 3 Reasons Why I Think So!

As the mirrorless Armageddon comes to a head, it looks like Canon just dropped the most advanced camera we've ever seen. Period. Undeniable. I'm talking about the Camera itself, not the engine inside which still has plenty of horsepower. It might not be a spec god, but the camera is unlike anything we've ever seen from anyone. It really is doing so many things I love and is taking advantage of technology that you would expect to see in a Playstation controller or a Nintendo Switch or something. Let me share a few things I think are incredible. Then I'll point out the obvious bad things that are triggering people.

The Canon EOS R specs are out. If you weren't satisfied with the screeching and raging of the Youtubers and bloggers with the Nikon Z cameras, you're really going to love this one. Single SD card slot, not even UHS-II, no IBIS, no joystick. Why does Canon do this? Why can't anybody seem to compete with Sony? I'll tell you why.

Kipon 35mm f2.4 Review & Sample Photos

The Kipon IBERIT 35mm f2.4 is a lightweight compact full-frame 35mm f2.4 mirrorless lens. It's constructed of an aluminum body with a brass and stainless steel core for a low weight design. While the Handevision 35mm f2.4 is not a very fast lens, its characteristics are very balanced with a classic style of rendering and an extremely versatile 35mm focal length.
