Fuji In The Sky With Diamonds

Post by alhal

   Similar to my late adoption when it came to cell phones, I have never owned a digital camera. Until now! Fujifilm has hooked me up with not one, but TWO different say cheese machines, and they’re both awesome for their own unique reasons.

   The first is the F80. When Fuji says FinePix, they aint lyin’ with this creature. This camera is like the brother who is the pride of the family, was the high school quarterback and becomes a big time lawyer or something. Very high quality shots, with lots of cool features.

   However, if you’re like me, you’ll just set the camera to EXR mode aka superduper autopilot. In this setting, the camera figures out everything for you and adjusts accordingly. Lighting, face recognition, macro shots… basically this little box is smarter than me.

   Did I mention that it boasts a massive 10x zoom that you can still use while recording high def videos? Killer for sports or making your own nature documentary. Check out my vid on slug copulation this fall: Is That Mucous Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?

   Next up is the XP10. This dude embodies the crazy younger brother, who’s always the life of the party while simultaneously the toughest bro in the room. In other words, this camera is definitely frat house / dorm approved!

   It’s dust proof, dirt proof AND freeze proof, so now I have no problem documenting my latest art installation “Mud & Meat Lockers”. This guy’s also shock proof up to one meter, so feel free to drop it like a clingy ex.

   The best feature about this party animal is that it is also water proof. Not just take pictures in drizzle water proof, come on! We’re talkin’ Fuji here. This sucker withstands beer spillage and it takes high definition videos underwater. Wait, what?

   Yeah, you heard me. Here’s a mix of some fun the boys and I had in the pool a few days ago:

   I figure that pretty much speaks for itself. Now I just need to get to an actual beach…

   Anyway, just know that all of the shots you see on this site are coming from one of these two bad boys. If you’d like to check out some other cool stuff Fuji’s got going on or enter one of their many contests, check out their fan page.

   Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese.
