Fujifilm XF 400mm f/4.5 R LM OIS WR Review: A Top-Tier Super Telephoto
Fujifilm’s XF 400mm f/4.5 R LM OIS WR is a new professional telephoto for the X-mount system, reviewed here as a high-performance option for wildlife and sports. It costs $3,199 and weighs 44 ounces (1,245 grams), combining a rugged, fully weather-sealed chassis with a 95mm filter thread, customizable AF-lock buttons, a full aperture ring and controls for focus limiting, preset focus and image stabilization. Its removable tripod foot includes Arca-Swiss dovetails, and the rear clearance accepts Fujifilm teleconverters; the reviewer used the 1.4x extender selectively. Paired with an X-H2S, the lens formed a relatively carryable setup with fast burst rates, making it a serious long-reach choice for X-system photographers.
Best compact camera in 2026: perfect point-and-shoots for photos and video
Amateur Photographer’s compact-camera guide brings together recommendations ranging from premium models such as the Leica Q3 to very inexpensive beginner cameras, with options intended for both stills and video. The guide also includes advice on vlogging cameras and points readers toward related buying questions, including APS-C versus full-frame sensor sizes and alternatives to the Fujifilm X100V and X100VI. Its scope is therefore broader than a single model review: it frames compact-camera shopping around budget, experience level and intended use. For photographers choosing a small everyday camera, the practical starting point is to decide whether portability, premium build and image quality, or low cost and simplicity should take priority.
