I'm still in the process of actually getting a mirrorless camera from Fujifilm and still studying the pros and cons of having it since I still am carrying a DSLR camera. I've been lugging around a Nikon and if you think about the battery grip, the lenses, the separate bag, it's kinda bulky and if I'm carrying it around the whole day during events. Aside from that, I bring it to far flung resorts, hotels, other countries together with my laptop computer so I could work from there. I've seen the quality of photos coming from these newer mirrorless cameras and they are quite outstanding. I've been dreading to have one since late last year and am still in the process of getting one myself. When Fujifilm invited us for a short luncheon last week, they just made us drool about why we should get the Fujifilm X-A2. They've got the gorgeous Bea Alonzo on board and yes, she's the newest celebrity endorser for the Fujifilm X-A2 camera.
Bea Alonzo for Fujifilm X-A2 by kumagcow
Actually, Bea Alonzo was an X-A2 owner even way before they tapped her for this project. They just accidentally saw her holding one in one of her Instagram shots. Bea says she always had an inkling in taking photos and she couldn't really just use the one on her phone these days. especially when it's a bit dark. She loves the X-A2 because it was easy for her to transfer photos from the camera to her phone using, plus it was also easy to carry it around on her trips because she actually owns a DSLR too and she's not fond of using it anymore since it's too bulky. She gave it away to her Mom and prefers to use the mirrorless camera instead. Now she calls it her number 1 buddy when traveling and says she'll use it for her #BTravels series even more now that she's an endorser. Who knows, she might even include Zanjoe too in the next few posts. She would like to take really good efforts in taking photos and says she's going to put in a few more Japan photos in the next few days since she misses the place.
Fujifilm is proud of this X-A2 that boasts a tilting LCD so you can enjoy those wonderful portraits that also comes with the 16-50mm kit lens, an advanced eye detection and autofunction technology, plus longer battery life so you can take more photos in a single charging. They are also happy to announce the availability of the Instax Mini 70 for those who want instant fast prints and never need an instagram filter anymore. It's also available in different colors, designed to not just become your next camera but to also be a fashion accessory.
You'll be seeing Bea use these cameras more in the coming weeks and in the meantime, just enjoy the existing ones she shot on her timeline. I can't wait for the next Popoy and Basha movie where I think she's also going to use this camera in the film. Tell me if you spot it! :)
