Without a doubt one of the most important cameras that has been released in the past 20 years, the FujiFilm GFX100 is an affordable and incredibly sophisticated camera that single handedly made FujiFilm the reigning champion of medium format.

 
The 102MP GFX100 may well become the camera of choice for location and wedding pros who want to work “off-tripod” to capture dazzling images for wall and display prints for their clientele. The versatility of the camera is expanded via a “twin grip” design, in-body 5-axis image stabilization, and continuous shooting at up to 5 fps. The high degree of image customization is easily controlled through a well-thought out menu setup, plus incorporation of twin batteries for more shooting endurance.

Congratulations to FujiFilm for receiving “Best Professional APS-C Camera” TIPA Award for 2020!

 
FUJIFILM pioneered the “hybrid” viewfinder approach (optical/electronic), which is continued in the X-Pro3. Its rear LCD can be flipped downwards for waist-level TLR-type viewing or to display camera settings and/or the Film Simulation mode in use. The camera offers a wide variety of creative settings for exposure, focusing and image quality and effects. Its 26MP APS-C sensor has a standard ISO range of 160-12,800 (expandable) and can record 4K video up to 30p.

It is now secret that FujiFilm is one of my favorite companies. They’ve been doing some amazing work lately on multiple fronts. My FujiFilm X-H1 is a favorite camera of mine and can’t wait to get the chance to check out the X-Pro3.

Transit — Avoid Crowds with New Real-Time Info by Adrian Galli

One of my absolute favorite apps and top ten must-have apps just got a great new update to help you identify if the transit route (bus, train, etc.) is crowded. For those who must venture out during this lockdown, help preserve your health and others’ with as much information as you can have. Knowledge is power.

Amidst the chaos, transit continues to provide an essential lifeline to riders who need to get around. Nurses, doctors, your grocery store clerk. We want to make it easier for them — and you — to avoid crowds when taking public transit. We’re now publishing crowding data from transit agencies, and have started asking more agencies to contribute this info.
