THE RUMOR

Hey guys,

I had quite a long chat with a new source. I’ll bring to the point:

Phase One will add support for Fujifilm GFX 50s in Capture One Pro.

There is a bit of confusion on th C1 GFX support topic, because:

• December 30, 2016: Phase One Support says Capture One won’t support the Fujifilm GFX: “It’s a direct competitor of our core business.” (stroy here)
• January 5, 2017: PhaseOne managment corrects: “Fujifilm GFX support? We have not yet decided. It depends on the GFX Market impact” (stroy here)
• February 17, 2017: During a Zack Arias live talk, a Fuji Rep says to Zack Arias, that there will be Capture One support for Fujifilm GFX (story here)

So, there is hope.

And maybe the recent Capture One 10.1 update, which finally introduced some significant X-Trans support improvments, could be a sign that Phase One is finally working with more dedication to support Fujifilm cameras.

• Capture One Pro 10.1 Released: Improved Fujifilm X-Trans support, X-T20, XQ2 and X-A10 support & more (more here)

Oh… and how could I forget that…. grain of salt, of course, fellow Fuji Shooters ;)

FujiRumors Talk with Phase One Manager

I had the opportunity to quickly chat with a Phase One manager.

I asked about GFX support, and of course he couldn’t give me any answer, since he said that “especially regarding the GFX we don’t pre release any forthcoming support“. To me, this sounds already better than… let’s say… “we currently have no plans for GFX support“. :)

I also asked about Fujifilm film simulation support, and the Manager said that it depends on market demand. “We don’t get so many requests for it – at least officially.  Best thing to do is for Fuji users to log it at phaseone.com/support.”

So what are your waiting for? Drop them an email :)

cheers

Capture One Opens Your Fujifilm GFX Files with This Hack!

Happy Monday, fellow X and G Shooters!

Let’s start the week with a rumor, but take this one with an extra grain of salt, because it’s not only a quite long term rumor, but also a firmware rumor.

With that said, here is what I’ve just heard.

According to a source, right in the past, Fujifilm is planing a firmware update for Fujifilm X100F and Fujifilm X-T20 in autumn 2017.

I have no indication about what it will bring. I doubt it will be huge firmware update, like the one the X-T2 recently got, but it could definitely be a “Kaizen light” firmware update.

I’ll investiagte this, and update you guys as soon as I hear something new. So stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

And I remind you that Fujifilm announced firmware updates for Fujifilm GFX, X-T2 and X-Pro2 in late May.

enjoy your day,

Just recently we shared here on FujiRumors, that Fujifilm Canada announced with this letter sent on March 15, that they will raise prices on Fuji gear starting from May 1.

Well, I now have an update for you.

According to two sources (including a fellow GFX facebook member who talked to Aden Camera – see here), the price increase for Fuji gear has been postponed to May 15.

Moreover, it should affect “only” Fuji X gear and not the GFX.

I know this will hardly mitigate the pain for the further price increase (IIRC, there was already one last year in Canada – and also in EU), but, if the rumors are correct, you might have at least two more weeks to get the X-gear your want for a cheaper price.

Check out the current price of Fuji X cameras at AmazonCA and Fuji XF lenses at AmazonCA.
