1.  X100T goes on clearance, and now news of a new camera.  Would love to see a full frame X100, with a 35mm 1.4, fixed.  

 

2.  XPRO1 with a smaller (slightly) body and an organic sensor and improved AF.

 

3.  X40 with micro 4/3 sensor.  

 

WFG but that's the fun part, right?

it might be  something more radical but I wonder at what point they realize that they start actually competing with itself.

 

There are only so many poles that a fisherman can use before the number of lines in the pool actually gets too big that they are actually in the way of one another.

But I tell you this... we could need a New Camera Section (!!!) here on the Fuji X Forum!

 

 

I'm going to guess a compact. Something as successor to both x100 and x30.

 

Simply look at the actual Camera Sections...

Successors to x100 and x30 would come into an existing camera section ;)

 

So it is no X-T, no X-Pro, no X-E and so on...

Agreed.  This would have to be a completely new camera so a X-????  There was a quote further back in the thread where someone mentioned that the rumored X-Pro 2 was going to get a new name instead being called the X-Pro 2.  This is what I'm betting my money on.

 

That being said, I would absolutely LOVE to be surprised with a completely new system that no one saw coming.  Seeing how great Patrick is staying on top of the rumor mill though, I doubt we'd be completely blindsided.  =)

But yet Apple has made this the core part of their business, cannibalise yourself rather than let competitors take it from you..

according to the past announce/ launch dates: (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujifilm_X-series)

Fujifilm X-Pro1: March 2012

Fujifilm X-E1:September 6, 2012

Fujifilm X20:January 7, 2013

Fujifilm X30.August 26, 2014

 

This is my educational guess, the next camera would be: X-Pro2 with 1.3 crop sensor

but I do hope it would come with the new organic sensor, that would really shock the entire world...........cheers :);)

For some reason these two things are sticking in my head.

 

1) Fixed Lens Full Frame Rangefinder - which would be the big brother to the x100 series.  Would an x200 series have it's own subforum or be merged with the x100 series?  If this was to come true then I think it would warrant it's own forum.

2) Medium Format Rangefinder - The digital successor to the GW-690!  This one is way more of a long shot in my mind.  We don't have any lenses that would work on a MF sensor (as far as I know).  Again we haven't really seen anything about new lenses geared towards a sensor this size or appropriate lenses.

It will come with graphene organic nanocrystal sensor that grows off the plant-based silicone backing. And that sensor will be a 16 megapixel X-Trans II array with the same DR and ISO range as all current cameras.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Thank you. I will research it.

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.

      How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
