TWiP 448 – Fujifilm's X-Factor
The folks over at Fujifilm are continuing to impress and innovate in the mirrorless camera space. This time with the introduction of the XPRO2. Fuji is returning to it’s rangefinderinfluenced roots with the inclusion of a hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder, and several other improvements to this new camera that are sure to make any Fuji shooter happy.
Also, in this episode we discuss GoPro and the decline of action camera sales resulting in the company slashing 7% of it’s workforce. Is the action camera market saturated? Or, is it just time to reimagine the product line, and diversify. Or maybe both?
To discuss these stories and more, I’m joined by Don Komarechka of DonKom.ca and Lee Herbet of CapturingPassion.com
Also, before we get started, a quick headsup… I’m excited to be speaking at the Out of Chicago conference June 24 26.
