Fujifilm GFX100S No Vertical Battery Grip Option

According to information we have received, the Fujifilm GFX100S will have no vertical battery grip option.

Now, battery life on Fujifilm GFX cameras is not bad at all thanks to the big Fujifilm NP-T125 battery. So I don’t see an issue in terms of battery life here.

However, it might be an issue for those who want a vertical grip for better ergonomics when shooting in portrait mode.

So, let’s update our rumored specs list:

BREAKING: Next Fujifilm Film Simulation to be Called NOSTALGIC NEGATIVE

Nostalgic Negative

According to information we have just received from trusted sources, the long rumored new film simulation to be launched on January 27 will be called “Nostalgic Negative“.

I don’t know you, but I already love the vintage sound of it ;).

I don’t know which original film will serve as inspiration for this particular film simulation. Classic Negative is based on Superia, as you can see from Fuji’s own presentation sheet here.

I am crossing fingers that it will based on this one!

And if you wonder why Fujifilm doesn’t give it the name of existing film, then feel free to read the explanation of Fujifilm engineers here.

Fujifilm GFX100S Explained: Fixed EVF, Only One Top Dial (PSAM), No D-Pad, Top LCD, No Humpback and More

Ok guys, let’s narrow the range of our imagination, and describe a bit closer the Fujifilm GFX100S.

According to our information, you can imagine Fujifilm GFX100S like this:

  • no GFX50S humpback (if you don’t know what I mean, check out this image)
  • Top plate has only one dial on the top left side: a PSAM dial
  • no D-Pad
  • has joystick
  • Top LCD
  • Fixed viewfinder (not removable like on GFX100S and GFX50S, where it also can tilt thanks to the EVF tilt adapter)

Let’s add the information we already shared:

So, the Fujifilm GFX100S will be the first GFX camera with a PSAM dial.

And I get it: the almost totality of the market wants a PSAM dial. And if Fujifilm wants to attack the high end full frame market, then they simply have no other choice than to offer a GFX camera with PSAM dial. It will help the GFX system to get more popular.

And you know what?

Sure, I still would have preferred retro dials, but a PSAM dial is still better than the solution the GFX100 adopted, which was the first and only Fujifilm I ever used, that I struggled to operate out of the box.

So, mixed feelings here. But overall I prefer a PSAM dial over the solution adopted on the original GFX100.

Fujifilm X-E4 Will Not Have IBIS

A while back, we investigated if the brand new compact IBIS system of the Fujifilm X-S10 would fit in the Fujifilm X-E3.

I took technical sketches of the X-S10 IBIS unit provided by Fujifilm and overlapped it to the X-E3.

We could see, that techinically it looks like there would be space for the X-S10 IBIS in the X-E3, and hence also on the upcoming X-E4 (if the X-E4 would have the same size of X-E3).

But today I have to report that, according to our information, the X-E4 has no IBIS.

I don’t know if this is just a matter of costs, or if Fujifilm decided to make the X-E4 even smaller than its predecessor.

Or maybe it’s the price we have to pay to get a flip up screen that still allows the LCD to be flush to the body like on the X100V.

So what, is the potential lack of IBIS a dealbreaker for you? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
