Because I've been asked.... I'm definitely doing the X-E5 review and I've got a lot to say about it. Re-shooting all the b-roll now (because the first batch was boring), and the video is expected to release next week if I don't have ANYTHING ELSE come up.

I started shooting a Fast Friday this past Thursday. It was supposed to be 6 minutes. It's over 2 1/2 hours. I've been editing ever since. So, I'm tossing footage out right and left. However, I'll share this little clip. The final video will be launched tomorrow (Sunday).

I had an access pass to shoot the 2025 Dragon Con Parade in downtown Atlanta -- so I took the X-T5 and X-E5 and a bunch of lenses. (video about this upcoming).

Autofocus is the number one topic of questions I get.

AF-C, especially the custom option, is your secret power to improving AF to some degree. It won't solve everything, but all Fuji owners should be familiar with the info in today's video.

No app or QR code or entry in a Ticketmaster database will replace the feel of holding on to a real concert ticket. I’ve saved all of mine.

NEW RULE. If you're a beautiful woman, and post a nice comment, you'll be banned from the channel! 😲
Here's a brief sample from just a few minutes ago. These bots are getting more complex and harder to spot. Most are AI. And they no longer use numbers in their usernames -- more difficult to spot.
