Fujifilm GFX Fixed Lens Camera Coming in 2025 – Your Questions and My Riddles (and Your Help?)

Share

We just told you that Fujifilm is currently developing a fixed lens Fujifilm GFX camera.

So obviously the questions now flood my Inbox. And I can’t say much more at this point, except for that it will be released in 2025!

Another question was if it will have the hybrid viewfinder. This is something I honestly have no idea about. I hope it has one, but I would not be surprised if, in order to contain costs, Fujifilm would just go with a digital EVF.

In terms of features, we can expect the Fujifilm X100VI to be superior, given it has a smaller sensor which comes with key advantages like a faster sensor readout and less heat generation.

One big question is the lens: at this point I have heard a lot of options, but I have narrowed it down to two options that I consider the most likely one. And if you allow me to speak frankly to you: at this point I am a bit confused since both options I’ve heard come from higher ranked sources (and a few anonymous sources who also give me different options). This is why I prefer to wait a bit, get some clarity, and once I am sure of what I say I will let you know.

If anyone out there can help me out, feel free to contact me. You can do it also 100% anonymously, here is how:

Thanks to those who eventually decide to contact me and help me to bring clarity to my confused mind :).

Well, it looks like one of three cameras on my wishlist will become reality.

According to our trusted sources (thanks), Fujifilm is working on…

The latest Fujifilm financial results are out for the fiscal year 2023 (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).

Fujifilm sums up the performance in this single sentence:

Revenue and profits soared on strong sales of INSTAX and digital cameras

  • Revenue rose due to strong sales of Fujifilm X-S20 launched in June 2023 and Fujifilm GFX100 II launched in September 2023, in addition to the models released in the previous fiscal year.
  • In March 2024, we launched Fujifilm X100VI, the latest model in the X100 series of high-end compact digital cameras, equipped with a 40.2-megapixel sensor and the latest processor

Consumer Imaging

Achieving the INSTAX sales target of ¥150.0 billion for FY2024 one ver ahead of schedule was a major driving force behind revenue growth in Consumer Imaging

  • High value-added products, mainly INSTAX mini Evo, a hybrid instant camera incorporating digital technology, and INSTAX Pal, a “palm-top camera” launched in October 2023, performed well
  • INSTAX mini 99, the top-of-the-line analog instant camera, was launched in April 2024
