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).
