The Latest GFX Gear
CineD sat down with product planning manager Makoto Oishi-san and product planner Taiji Yoneda-san to talk about the GFX line and what makes the Fujifilm GFX100 II special.
You can and should watch the 24 minutes video above. But if you are in a hurry, I will provide also a quick summary below.
There is also a little section about firmware udpates, where Johnnie from CineD asks for one feature available on X-S20 to come via firmware update to GFX100II, and one available on GFX100II to come to X-H2, X-H2S, X-T5 and X-S20.
In short: if the request from users is strong, Fujifilm might make it happen. So guys, you know what you have to do in the comments now ;).
The Fujifilm X summit starting soon will definitely be a GFX party day.
And look, it’s just fair like this. Look at what Fujifilm gave us in the last 1+ year:
So yes, it was high time for a GFX party and looking back X shooter should just accept this happily.
However, there is one thing that Fujifilm could do, rather easily, to turn the next GFX-centric X summit into an epic day also for Fujifilm X shooters.
What is it?
Well, we know that the Fujifilm GFX100 II will come with new features not even available on flagship X series model until now.
We are speaking of:
Today I’ve learned a lesson.
Which lesson? I will tell you at the bottom.
First you have to know that so far we have spotted three camera registrations in the first half of 2023.
And because it takes Fujifilm between 1-4 months usually to release gear after registration, this would mean all three should come within this year.
And here comes the problem.
Given the lack of rumors about the third camera supposed to come in 2023, I told you yesterday here that I believe the registration could be for the vertical file transmitter grip for the GFX100II, but making clear that’s not a rumor, just a speculation of mine.
But after I’ve shared the video trusted sources (thanks!!!) reached out to me and corrected my speculation telling me this:
Now this is huge news. Consider that the FT-HX File Transmitter Grip for X-H2/S costs $1,000, a staggering $600 more over the regular X-H battery grip.
But what in the X-H world costs you $600 extra to get access to (frame.io C2C), you’ll get it built into the Fujifilm GFX100 II body for this price here.
And you know what that means.
It means that I have to get back at work to try to find out what the FF230002 is ;).
Lesson learned?
I have learned the lesson that I better don’t make any speculations, but just follow blindly the rumor-path my sources share with me.
So I will do just that.
By sharing more big rumors still before the launch of the GFX100II.

For the first time ever (and to big joy of Jordan Drake I guess), Fujifilm will offer
This much loved videographer features will come to the Fujifilm GFX100 II.
And of course we hope that Fujifilm will also treat current 5th generation gear shooters (X-T5, X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20) with firmware updates that will bring those features also to those cameras.

When we shared the rumor that the Fujifilm GFX100II would accept the cooling fan (which we confirm), I noticed people saying in the comments that this obviously means the GFX100II will have a fully articulating screen, just like every other cameras that is currently compatible with that fan.
But sometimes, what we think is so obvious, is wrong anyway ;).
Because we have been told the Fujifilm GFX100II will have a 3 way tilt screen.

Usually it goes like this.
Fujifilm launches a new sensor/processor platform and gives us a new film simulation along with it.
But that did not happen with the launch of the Fujifilm X-H2S back in May 2022, and also not with all the other 5th generation gear that followed (X-H2, X-T5, X-S20).
That sucked, and I started moaning about it after the last X summit in May 2023.
But things are finally going to change on September 12.
According to our trusted sources, Fujifilm will launch a new film simulation on September 12.
One more thing to look forward to on September 12.

According to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm GFX100II will be compatible with the external cooling fan.
This should address the concerns regarding the heat management when shooting 8K video or 4K/60p.
