Fuji X camera owners got a new update today: fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/fw_table.html
And unlike Canon (-21% profit reported yesterday) Fuji is doing very fine! Theya re selling tons of Instax cameras:
““the targeted sales volume of instax for this FY has been raised from 4.6 million units to 5.0 million units.”
and the new X-T10 is also selling fine:
“The sales of premium digital cameras X-Series centering on the interchangeable lens camera, FUJIFILM X-T10, launched in June 2015, were strong. FUJIFILM X-T10 can realize outstanding image quality and comfortable operability with a compact and lightweight body.”
Fuji is the sole leader of the instant cameras world. Maybe other companies should join that market too?

Reuters reports about the new quarterly financial report from Canon:
Japan’s Canon Inc said quarterly operating profit fell by a fifth as demand for digital cameras slumped and it spent more on developing new businesses, but it nudged up its full-year earnings estimates on a sharply weaker yen.
The consumer shift to smartphones for casual photo taking has pummelled demand for compact cameras, while the growing popularity of lighter mirrorless cameras has taken away market share from higher margin single-lens reflex cameras.
Time to get serious on mirrorless Canon! Where are our new EOS-M lenses?

The very first Leica SL owners appears to be Formula 1 star Sebastian Vettel. Of course for him it’s no problem to buy the SL but I highly suspect he even got is a free present from Leica to promote their new camera. When you are rich you always get richer :)

Sony will buy the Toshiba sensor business for $165 million. They get one step closer to the total domination fo the sensor market. Toshiba also makes the sensors of some Fuji camera models and it’s pity we have one player less on the market.
