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.

    • Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.
    • Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

    • Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?
