Oh My Gosh! Just received a GREAT RUMOR! Just a Hint for now... more soon!


Recommended Posts

Several pro X-shooters have said they've 'hinted' to Fuji to make a medium format camera, and as I recall, Arias did mention Fuji had brought out some of the old medium format models to quiz him on. 'Full frame' is quickly becoming a bit of a weird middle ground in the image quality stakes these days, so I would expect a medium format camera before a 35mm sensor body. There's also no reason why a body with a 35mm sensor would be referred to as a whole new type of camera, unless it was getting a totally unique lens mount. (Which would be stupid just for the sake of a slightly larger sensor, but isn't stupid for the big leap to medium format.)

So, medium format is my guess.

I'm gonna go with my original suggestion of a couple of months ago for an X100 series camera with an X30-like zoom lens (an X100Z).

 

I hope you're wrong  ;)

 

The whole point of the X100 is to give a more compact alternative to the X interchangeable lens cameras. Considering the Leica X-Vario size, you might as well take a Fuji X body with a kit zoom lens.

Camera with interchangeble sensor :)

And about FF, I would not like that at all, especially now that I invested so much money in the lens system, so I hope it will be that larger sensor which can still use the current lenses.

 

I second that. Anything that requires an update in our lens system will be a downer. I don't mind update the camera but I've just switched from Canon to Fuji and I won't be investing anymore on another lens system for many (many many) years.

"New Camera Section" must refer to the (becoming overdue) organic sensor. It cannot be apsc because that would cannibalise the x-trans. 

 

So: FF or better, 30+ mp (effective), and cost more than a7s but less than a Hassie - and (hopefully) worth every damn eurocent!

I really hope it's not something that requires all new lenses.  Unless it's a medium format, which although I wouldn't buy it at this point and time, would be very exciting.

 

Look forward to hearing the latest rumor.  Thanks for staying on top of of it.

    • Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii. 
    • Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

    • This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
