Samsung will Supply APS-C Sensors to Fujifilm, Report says

Share

Samsung & Fujifilm

To be clear: this is not a rumor by FujiRumors, but it has popped up at the Korean page clien here (found via mirrorlessrumors). It says (google translated):

“It is developed for Samsung’s NX2, and Fuji will receive APS-C sensor, which has been discontinued due to the merger of divisions.

In the case of Fuji, it was said that it was delivered to the sample, and the technology developed in cooperation with Fuji also goes in. (It seems to say that Fuji and Isocell plus recently collaborated.)

The effective pixel is 28.2 million pixels and the crop sensor. You can shoot up to 6K when playing movie. Supports 10bit 120 frames. h.265 codec support.

In the case of Pentax, it is packaged up to isp. Fuji will receive only sensor …

It is said that the planned delivery price will be 70% of the equivalent Sony sensor.”

Take it with a grain of salt for now, but if true, I think this would be a refreshing news for the entire photography industry, since Samsung definitely has the power and know-how to compete with Sony when it comes to sensor quality.

Remember that Samsung was the first to offer a BSI sensor with full phase detection coverage on its fantastic Samsung NX1.

We already reported that Samsung developed with the help of Fujifilm a new ISOcell Plus sensor, which allows better pixel isolation and hence improves light sensitivity and color fidelity.

Fujifilm Shows Speed Improvements from X-Trans I to X-Trans IV

Fujifilm X-T3 Speed

I am probably one of the few people out there, who has owned them all: X-Trans 1 (stolen in Greece), X-Trans 2 (destroyed in a river) and X-Trans 3 (because it’s too sexy). And with every generation, the speed improvement of my Fujifilm cameras was noticable.

The new X-Trans 4 and X Processor 4 in the Fujifilm X-T3 raises the bar even further.

A media slide shared by the Spanish site Fujistas (translation) shows how much faster the new sensor and processor on the Fujifilm X-T3 are compared to its predecessors.

The new BSI sensor improves sensor readout, and the X Processor 4 is a massive improvement compared to everything else Fujifilm had in the past.

FUJIFILM Says FULL FRAME Does NOT Make Sense For them NOW and Compares Size, Weight, Price of APS-C with Full Frame

Share

APS-C vs Full Frame

At the Spanish press event for the launch of the Fujifilm X-T3, Fujifilm has displayed a comparison between their Fujifilm X-T3 and a “mirrorless full frame” system. The media slides were published at the Spanish site albomedia.

The comparison should show, how Fujifilm’s APS-C system is better balanced in terms of size, weight and price compared to full frame. Well done Fuji, now you opened the Pandora box of equivalency… watch out what happens in the comments ;).

When asked if Fujifilm would enter Full Frame, Fujifilm answered:

“We would have to start from scratch with the optics, and that would not make sense now“

In a recent major poll here on FujiRumors, most FR-readers agree that Fujifilm should stick with their APS-C and medium format systems, and stay away from the full frame slaughter between Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic and maybe even Olympus soon.

As a consequence to your vote, I have shared a list of advantages that APS-C offers over full frame.

Mirrorless vs DSLR

Then Fujifilm also displayed a chart, that shows the overall decline of the camera market, and that DSLR sales are affected most by this decline.

When asked what Fujifilm thinks about the Canon EOS R and the Nikon Z series, they answered:

” it’s good news, as it will allow mirrorless to grow. It is always better have 5% of a market of 20 million that 10% of a market of 5 million”

We already discussed this topic in our article “Canon and Nikon enter mirrorless, and Fujifilm is happy about it“.
