Special thanks to my friend Jaya, I managed to sneak into the official launch of Fujifilm' latest products, the GFX100S II and X-T50. Obviously as I have said many times, I am not important enough to be invited directly for anything camera related. I am not exactly a media blogger and I don't do press releases or announcements, I have never done any here on my blog. This is a photography blog and honestly I don't want it to turn into a media site, hence I guess I shall never get invited to any of these launch events. Nevertheless, since I was there, I had a great time catching up with many friends I have not met in a while within the Fuji active community (Calven, Qippy, Arthur from DCM, TJ, some media and dealer friends). It also felt a little strange because the week before the launch of X-T50 I already made my first impression video on the camera, which was made available for touch and try by consumers in dealer shops. Anyways, it was a fun, exciting event and I was happy to be there, observing. Fuji indeed has come a long way, and they have carved their own unique position in the market. Here are some images from the event.

| Some important people from Fujifilm Malaysia |
 |
| Why do we need pretty models who have nothing to do with the cameras being on stage holding the said cameras? |
 |
| It was a packed crowd, and in this image alone I can spot about half a dozen or more people that I know |
 |
| Photographer sharing session. |
 |
| Some weird leatherette texture thing wrapping the camera |
 |
| Does size matter? Medium Format, larger than full frame? |
 |
| The X-T50 which I have already shared my first impression video, filmed a week before the event and published a few days before. Kinda weird coming to a product release when I have already had my hands on it. |

| My man Jaya, thanks dude for the invite! You rock! |
