Fujirumors’ window to Photokina: DAY 6

_ _ _

Not only X-series at Photokina. Fujifilm unveiled a prototype of a little camera: the SWING CAM. A mechanism moves this camera vertically & horizontally and allows it to track people.

There are no plans to produce it for the mass market for now. But, in a promotional video, Fuji shows its potential as a sort of “action cam”. Quesabesde compares is with the curious “party-shot” device of Sony.

Here is a short video showing what you can do thanks to the electronic shutter (which allows you shutter speeds of 1/32,000). A Fuji Rep takes a Fujifilm X100T and shoots wide open right into the lamp. Watch the video from 0:35 to 1:05.

Fujifilm Manager says (again): No Full Frame, focus on APS-C… for now!

Share

Do you remember the interview with Fuji Manager Mr. Kawahara of December 2013 (see video above)? At the question if Fujifilm will go Full Frame, he answered: “We have no plan to provide full frame body… just now.”

It’s the same answer over and over again. So, also at this years’ photokina, when amateurphotographer asked for a Full Frame Fuji, the answer was that the company is focussing on the APS-C line. A Full Frame Fuji would not be compatible with the existing lenses.

Fujifilm manager Oishi said that “Fuji plans to launch further X-series cameras, and there is no current plan for a full-frame model. But […] Fuji is a camera developer, so it may be a possibility at some future date.”

Ok, I can live with that Fuji… it’s better to go directly the Medium Format way ;-).
