Top 3 Selling Cameras and Lenses for June on Fujirumors: Fujifilm GFX 100 beats X-T3
Fujifilm Top Sellers
These are the top selling cameras and lenses for June 2019 here on FujiRumors, and there is a quite a surprise!
Of course, the rankings below are representative only for the FujiRumors community and not for overall sales.
Most of the items listed below are discounted until July 6. Check out all Fujifilm deals here.

Top Cameras
Only by a hair, but it was enough: the Fujifilm GFX100 sold better (pre-orders included) than the Fujifilm X-T3.
We wrote here, that the request for the GFX100 is higher than Fujifilm expected, and some say even triples Fujifilm’s forecast. Keep in mind that the GFX100 is brand new, whereas the X-T3 is on the market since 10 months already.
The Fujifilm X100F will not get a successor in 2019, hence it continues to fall into the hands of more and more photographers.
Out of the list are cameras like the Fujifilm X-T30 and Fujifilm X-H1, as well as the Fujifilm X-Pro2, which will get successor, the Fujifilm X-Pro3, this year.
Top XF Lenses
The deals on these lenses are running out. You have time until July 6 to get them discounted. Check out all Fujifilm deals here.
Top X Mount Third Party Lenses
- Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 – last day to get the pre-order deal
- Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 autofocus lens
- 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 macro
Native Fujinon lenses are still selling stronger, but these third party lenses are coming terribly close to them. There is a market amongst the Fuji X community for third party glass. And especially the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 autofocus lens is stable at the top positions since its launch.
The Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 and 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 Macro kicked out of the ranking the Samyang 12mm f/2 and the Meike Neewer 35mm f/1.2.

SAMSUNG talks about ISOCELL Plus Next Sensor Generation in Cooperation with FUJIFILM
Fujifilm & Samsung
Back in 2018 Samsung and Fujifilm officially announced the development of a new CMOS image sensor technology for enhanced light sensitivity and color fidelity, called ISOCELL Plus sensor
The evolution of the first generation ISOCELL sensor was made possible by a special material developed by Fujifilm, which allowed it to remove the metal grid between single pixels, hence for more light to hit the sensor.
On July 1, 2019, Samsung published another article with additional details about ISOCELL Plus. You can read it summed up in practical bullet points below.
First you have to know about front-side illuminated (FSI) and back-side illuminated (BSI) sensors that:
- FSI sensors block 20% to 70% of light from the photodiode
- BSI sensors solved this problem, but there is the pixel crosstalk problem
- Crosstalk happens when light ment for a specific pixel leaks into the neighboring photodiodes, causing noise in the final image
ISOCELL advantages over FSI and BSI sensors:
- Thanks to a metal grid between pixels, ISOCELL sensors have 30% less pixel crosstalk compared to BSI sensors
- increased full well capacity (FWC) by approximately 30%
- higher color fidelity
- tack-sharp images
- greater dynamic range
- wider chief ray angle (CRA) by capturing more oblique light, which ultimately allows for brighter lenses with wider aperture
ISOCELL Plus Advantages over ISOCELL
- The metal grids in the ISOCELL sensors reduced crosstalk, but lead to some optical loss as they absorbed incoming light or reflected light to neighboring pixels
- ISOCELL PLUS replaces the metal grid with an innovative Fujifilm material that minimizes optical loss and light reflection
- ISOCELL Plus deliver higher color fidelity and up to a 15% enhancement in light sensitivity compared to first generation ISOCELL sensor
- allows sensors to equip pixels of 0.8-micrometer (µm) or smaller without any performance loss, making it an optimal solution for developing high-resolution cameras
- ISOCELL Plus will also bring performance enhancements for sensors with larger pixel designs
The technology is ment for smartphones, but it’s not forbidden for us to dream and hope that Fujifilm and Samsung will find agreements to make this sensor find its way into Fujifilm APS-C and MF cameras.
Especially the last sentence, where they say “ISOCELL Plus will also bring performance enhancements for sensors with larger pixel designs“, makes hope for that to happen one day.
Will there be a Samsung sensor in Fujifilm cameras?
