Fujifilm GFX50R Discontinued, Zero Rumors About GFX50RII and Dreams About GFX100R

It’s over.

According to reports at digitalcameraworld, the Fujifilm GFX50R is now discontinued.

As a huge Fujifilm X-E line lover, the Fujifilm GFX50R would have been my most natural step into Fujifilm medium format.

However, as I don’t switch from X-Trans APS-C to Full Frame because the difference is negligible (and with lots of advantages on the APS-C side, too), I also thought that sure, going from 26 to 50 MP is OK, but at this point I prefer to go all-in and grab a 100 megapixel medium format Fujifilm GFX100S.

If there was a Fujifilm GFX100R, I’d have grabbed that one. But it looks like all I can do is to hope that one day in the future Fujifilm will give us either a Fujifilm GFX100R or an X-T styled GFX100 (as shown in these official Fujifilm prototypes).

But don’t get me wrong.

A camera with a PSAM dial, a dedicated custom settings dial and top LCD is stupidly easy and fast to operate. The total opposite of the original GFX100, which is the only Fujifilm camera I’ve ever hold in my hands where I thought “WTF, need to grab that owners manual“.

But I can’t really fall in love with cameras that are stupidly easy to use, I prefer those who are FUN to operate. Like my X-E or X-T cameras.

So, my wish for the GFX future are a GFX100R and GFX100T. But so far, I have absolutely zero rumors about it. And for the records, I have also zero rumors about a Fujifilm GFX50RII.

In any case, if you are also attracted by the rangefinder styled medium format Fujifilm cameras, then better grab yours now, as who knows for how long we will find the Fujifilm GFX50R in stock now that it is discontinued.

Good bye, Fujifilm GFX50R. I was one of the very first people to touch you, back then, at the photokina 2018, where I even illegally smuggled into the fair one day ahead of its official launch to meet you. May your heritage continue to live in the GFX lineup.

LEAKED: Fujifilm GFX50SII Images

Do you remember what I told you a few weeks ago?

I told you that the leaked images of the Fujifilm GFX50SII will be the most boring ever, as it will look identical to the Fujifilm GFX100S.

Well, now nokishita spotted some images of the Fujifilm GFX50SII at a certification institute.

As I said: identical. So identical, that Fujifilm had to print “GFX50SII” on the side to make sure you won’t mix up the cameras ;).

Nokishita spotted the registration of a camera called Fujifilm GFX50SII here.

And if you read FujiRumors, you’ll already know a lot about it, including the price and when it will be announced. Down below is a rumor recap.

Price is leaked here.

The leaked images? Boring. Just look at the Fujifilm GFX100S, and you have the GFX50SII. ;)

Fujifilm GFX50SII Rumor Recap

Fujifilm GFX50SII has X Processor 4 for Faster Autofocus and Nostalgic Negative Film Simulation

According to our sources, the Fujifilm GFX50SII will feature Fuji’s currently most modern processor, the X Processor 4.

We remind you that the original Fujifilm GFX50S uses the previous generation processor, the X Processor Pro.

That’s quite a big deal, as it will allow the Fujifilm GFX50SII to focus faster than its predecessor and also to have all the latest film simulations including the lovely Nostalgic Negative simulation.

To be clear, I doubt it will focus as fast as the Fujifilm GFX100S, as the Fujifilm GFX50SII will still feature a non BSI sensor. But the new X Processor 4 will surely be able to squeeze out all what’s left in terms of AF power from that 50 megapixel sensor.

I believe Fujifilm is about to drop a serious winner on the market.

BREAKING: Fujifilm GFX50SMKII to Ship in September plus Rumored Specs/Price Recap

So how the heck am I going to share this one?

I mean, worldwide chip shortage, Fujifilm announcing delays for lots of gear and unable to deliver products they announced many months ago and what not.

So telling you when the Fujifilm GFX50SII will ship is a rumor rocksolid at the moment,  but at the same time don’t be mad at me when at the date I’ll give you know there will be like 3 Fujifilm GFX50SII shipping, and then yet another biblical waiting will begin for the rest of the cameras to ship.

With that disclaimer out of the way, here is the rumor:

We haven been informed, that the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII will start shipping in September.

We also confirm once again, the the announcement itself will not take place on August 27.

Make sure to follow FujiRumors, because:

  • we have to talk more about the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII
  • we need to have discussions about more unreleased gear (to get an idea what, check out this unreleased gear timeline)
  • you might want to know about gear that has never been rumored before ;)

RELEASE NOTES

Animal Autofocus Already Available on Fujifilm Cameras, just not X/GFX! A Kaizen Request to Fujifilm!

These are crazy firmware days, great joys thanks to massive new firmware and some worries due to faulty firmware.

So let’s talk firmware today.

One of the autofocus features where Sony and Canon are running away to the competition is “animal autofocus“.

And while it is probably not a feature that most of us would massively use, it would be definitely still nice to have.

Now, the FujiRumors community often asked me if Fujifilm plans to ever such a feature in future.

Well, let me say this first.

Among all camera manufacturers, Fujifilm was actually the very first company to offer something like that, with the Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR.

As you can read in the product description here:

For those who enjoy the company of four-legged friends, the F80EXR has Pet Detection, allowing users the ability to detect up to 10 faces of dogs or cats and automatically optimize the focus. The F80EXR is programmed to recognize 57% of the Fédération Cyno Logique Internationale (FCI) Registered Dogs, 80% of the Top 20 Dogs in the American Kennel Club (AKC) Ranking and 60% of The Cat Fancier’s Association (CFA) breeds. Pet Detection works by matching various dog or cat data of facial parts with patterns to detect the dog or cat being photographed.

So, considering that Fujifilm already had a similar feature, I am confident that they will offer that in future also on X and GFX series cameras, maybe extended to birds and other animals. Sure, it’s not a rumor, but looking at Fuji’s history makes me confident this is going to happen in future.
