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.

    • I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!
    • Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
    • In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

    • No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem
    • I bought a manual lens over xmas and it took me a while to find the "shutter w/o lens" function in the menu settings.  So far I haven't found a way to either put that on the Q menu or marry that setting to one of the 4 custom modes.   Am I missing something? Is there a problem if I just leave that setting enabled even when the OEM auto lens is in place? tia
