In my estimation, the next generation of Fujifilm cameras is right around the corner, likely to be announced early next year. I’ll tell you why I think that, and I’ll take some guesses …| FUJI X WEEKLY

I’m not a lawyer, and I don’t play one on TV, either. I’m not able to provide any insight on this topic, I can only bring it up and maybe ask some questions, and speculate a little, which should be taken with a massive grain of salt. I probably know less about legal matters than […]| FUJI X WEEKLY
I’m so happy to announce three upcoming events that you won’t want to miss. I can’t give you all of the details just yet, but I want to start getting the word out so that you have the opportunity to plan, as these will come up fast. You can expect the full details to be […]| FUJI X WEEKLY
I love the Fujifilm X-E5. In my opinion, it’s the greatest iteration of the X-E series—probably objectively so, and not just subjectively. This line is one of my favorites, and I have a special place in my heart for it—an X-E1 was my gateway into the X-Series. But there’s something a bit unusual going on […]| FUJI X WEEKLY
Ricoh just announced the GR IV. I know this is a Fujifilm blog, but a number of you have a Ricoh GR camera, and some even use my Ricoh Recipes, so this is related to a degree. The GR IV is very, very similar to the GR III, and yet completely revamped—new sensor, new processor, […]| FUJI X WEEKLY
Last year, I started my infrared photography journey when I purchased a Fujifilm X-T4 ES full-spectrum IR camera. Since then, I’ve published seven infrared Film Simulation Recipes for the X-T4 ES, which can also be used on full-spectrum converted X-Trans IV (except the X-T3 & X-T30) and X-Trans V cameras. You must have a full-spectrum […]| FUJI X WEEKLY
A reader messaged me recently with a confession: while camera shopping the other day, the top factor wasn’t megapixels, ergonomics, battery life, AF speed, size, or any other spec sheet headline. It was how the JPEGs look straight-out-of-camera—the aesthetics of the pictures—and how easy or difficult it is to get that look. Five years ago […]| FUJI X WEEKLY
A common question I get is, “Which Fujifilm X-series camera should I buy?” With so many options, it can be difficult to figure out which one is right for you. Some models are quite alike, with overlapping features and similar price points, which can be confusing—especially if you’re new to the system. Each camera in […]| FUJI X WEEKLY
I’ve been asked about infrared photography quite a bit lately, especially after sharing pictures captured with my full-spectrum Fujifilm X-T4 ES and the Aerochrome v2 Film Simulation Recipe on Instagram. Infrared is a fascinating genre of photography because it allows you to See Beyond the Visible™ (someone should trademark that…) by capturing light that your […]| FUJI X WEEKLY
I’m really excited, because I just published my first YouTube video in over a year! You might not be aware that Fuji X Weekly has a YouTube channel, but it does. I published two videos (not i…| FUJI X WEEKLY
