Message to Source: Thanks for the Nickname and the Feedback on GFX100RF

Message to Readers 1: I know you don’t like these posts. But I have no other way to hope to get this message out to the anonymous source (with nickname), other than making a public post.

Message to source

Thanks for giving yourself a nickname. This helps me a lot.

Just as an additional option: if you want the same benefit of being 100% anonymous, but at the same time also be able to interact with me, we have the option of chatting via Signal. I just wanted to let you know about this possibility, but of course it is also totally fine if you keep using the rumor box with your nickname.

Also, thanks for the feedback on the GFX100RF. I don’t know what I am allowed to share of it (and what not). If you want, you can include that info in future messages. If no indication is given, then I’ll just assume that everything can go online. And if you decide to go for Signal, we can directly chat and decide together on how to handle certain information.

With that said, thanks a lot for helping me out with the rumors (now and in the past).

How to Signal…

If anyone wants to get in touch with me using Signal

Signal can be downloaded on your Phone, but you can use it also on your desktop (it’s required that you have the App installed on your phone already). You can download Signal for Desktop here.

While you need your phone number to register, Signal doesn’t share it with me or anyone else. You can create a random nickname to contact me.

Fujifilm GFX100RF vs X-Pro3 vs X100VI Additional Size Comparisons

FR-reader Matt estimated the size of the Fujifilm GFX100RF by aligning the width of the hotshot as seen in this image.

In our previous coverage of his comparison he “only” compared the size on paper.

Now he made also a visual comparison and he recalculated the size of the Fujifilm GFX100RF. So here is an update:

Below you can see the comparisons based on this data.

Fujifilm GFX100RF vs X-Pro3 vs Leica Q3 approximate Size Comparison and Dimensions

Size Comparison

Andrea has made a video about the leaked images of the Fujifilm GFX100RF and has made an approximate size comparison between the Fujifilm GFX100RF, Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Leica Q3.

Of course these are very approximate size comparisons, so don’t take them as 100% accurate. But if the size comparison is accurate, then the GFX100RF would look about as wide as the X-Pro3 and Leica Q3, just a little bit higher.

But the more interesting thing is the lens. The one on the Fujifilm GFX100RF looks quite compact as opposed to the lens on the Leica Q3, which protrudes quite a bit from the camera body. This could ultimately make the GFX100RF a more pocketable solution than the Leica Q3, even though it has a sensor about 70% larger than the Leica Q3.

Dimensions

Also, FR-reader Matt compared the size of the Fujifilm GFX100RF to other cameras by aligning the width of the hotshot as seen in this image.

According to this, the size of the GFX100RF should be around 135mm (W) x 94mm (H).

For comparison:

Matt’s calculations more or less fit with the comparisons made by Andrea.

EXCLUSIVE: First Image of Fujifilm GFX100RF Front View with Lens

Here you have it guys, the first image of the Fujifilm GFX100RF front view with lens (top and backside image here).

Size seems quite reasonably for me, and the lens looks very compact compared to the rather long lens of the Leica Q3.

Interestingly there is still the viewfinder switch we have on the X-Pro and X100 line, even though the Fujifilm GFX100RF has only an electronic viewfinder. So I guess it will have some other function.

STAY TUNED: Fujifilm GFX100RF Front View Image Coming Today – And See the Crop Lever Now!

Earlier today Fujifilm shared the first image of the front view of the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

Well, our sources thought that the Fujifilm community needs more than just that massively underexposed image.

So they reached out to us and passed us a very clear image of the entire front of the GFX100RF (the top and backside can be seen here).

I am preparing the article now and will share it today.

In the meantime you can see the crop zoom lever placed under the ON/OFF switch and (big) command dial.

You toggle the lever left or right to change the crop, and it automatically flips back to the center after each adjustment.

Fujifilm Shares Image of Fujifilm GFX100RF

When announcing the Fujifilm X summit on March 20 at 5AM New York time, Fujifilm has also shared the first “official” image of the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

The original images is underexposed, so you get it brightened up for you here on FujiRumors. We can see:

  • lens looks rather compact
  • the crop lever under the shutter button
  • there is still the viewfinder selector, but the Fujifilm GFX100RF has an EVF only, so it likely has another function.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.

If you want to get a clear view of the top and back of the Fujifilm GFX100RF, check out this article.

EXCLUSIVE: First Image of Fujifilm GFX100RF

So guys, thanks to our trusted sources (THANKS!!!) here you have it: the first image of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF.

We can see:

  • the dedicated aspect ratio dial (a very different solution compared to the aspect ratio switch on the Panasonic LX-100)
  • no D-Pad
  • Fujifilm’s most brilliant (and most irrational) dial, the combined shutter/ISO dial
  • a rather large rear command dial
  • the usual things (S,C,M switch, joystick, marked and unmarked buttons

So far so good if you ask me, but I am curious the read what you think about it.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Rumors

Stay Tuned: First Image of Fujifilm GFX100RF Coming Today… and See the Aspect Ratio Dial NOW!

Stay tuned guys… today you’ll get the first image of the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

But one tidbit just to set things right:

Some said that the aspect ratio switch is nothing new, as it is used already by other cameras like this one.

But in the image above you can see that Fujifilm adopted a radically different solution by giving it a dedicated dial which also means that very likely you’ll be able to select many more aspect ratio options that the ones we get for example with the Panasonic LX-100.

But we have more to talk about very soon… so stay tuned ;).
