Just recently we published the first part of the of a long interview with Fujifilm managers about Fujfiilm color science and film simulations. You can find it here.
Now the second part has been published in Japanese by the website dc.watch.
Down below a summary in English (taken from google translate).
There is a bit of confusion, so let me clear things up, as well as add something new to it.
Yes, Fujifilm did announce a new Fujifilm GFX100, but that one is an infrared version for forensic use, pretty much as the special Fujifilm X-T1 infrared version.
The Fujifilm GFX camera we rumor here on FujiRumors since a while now, is not an IR Fujifilm GFX100 camera and also not a monochrome camera.
As we told you here, it’s a 102 megapixel Bayer sensor camera that is smaller than the current Fujifilm GFX100. Also, as we told you in October, it will come in early 2021.
Now, some wrote me, speculating that the new smaller GFX100 won’t have IBIS. And in fact, the IBIS unit on the current GFX100 ain’t small at all.
We already made a rendering of the Fujifilm GFX100 IBIS unit mounted on the Fujifilm GFX50S and Fujifilm GFX50R. As you can see, it is definitely too big for any other GFX camera. But since then, Fujifilm has made serious progress when it comes to making the IBIS unit smaller.
And here is what I can tell you today: the new smaller Fujifilm GFX100 coming in early 2021 will have IBIS.
This comes from trusted sources.
Ok, so here is the recap it:
Are you curious about more details on the upcoming new Fujifilm GFX100?
Well, then something tells me that you should not miss to read FujiRumors next ;).
Fujifilm has recently released the long awaited pixel shift firmware for Fujifilm GFX100.
FujiRumors has already shared a first look on the new feature, a collection of feedback we got from members of our massive Fujifilm GFX group.
Some got good results, others not. So it’s definitely a feature you should learn to master, making especially attention to avoid any movement from the lens, camera, tripod and even from the ground around the tripod.
Now the Fuji Guys have released a short video, called “understanding GFX100 pixel shift“.
Most of what they say has already been explained by Fuji Guy Francis at the official Fujifilm GFX100 pixel shift launch.
So what’s new in this video? Well, not much, but there might be something you might have missed, and also some little new things. Let me sum them up for you:
That was it already. But down below I will share more videos about the new Fujifilm GFX100 pixel shift feature.
However, the richest and best feedback about the new pixel shift feature can definitely be found in our extremely active Fujfiilm GFX group.

DPReview awarded the best gear of 2020.
Lots of what they say makes sense, but I don’t really agree with everything. For example, the Fujifilm X-T4 is second in the mid-range ranking behind the Canon R6, which costs $800 more. For me, the Fujifilm X-T4 is so much better value for money.
Worth to notice, Canon grabs some of the most prestigious top spots, which in the past were usually in solid Sony hands.
And to me totally unsurprising: the little and affordable Fujifilm X-S10 is not only the best entry level camera, but it also grabs the second spot as overall top product 2020.
I am saying it since I’ve shared the first rumors: Fujifilm is doing lots of things right with the X-S10. If you don’t need weather sealing or 2 SD card slots, it’s by far the best value for money camera you can buy.
Last but not least the glorious Fujifilm X100V, frankly without any competition in the fixed lens compact camera segment.
What I do not get is the lack of any GFX lens. Not only the Fujinon GF30mm f/3.5 or Fujinon GF45-100mmF/4 have not been awarded, but they did not even enter the shortlist of candidates.
In my opinion the GF lenses would have highly deserved a top spot. But I guess the GFX system is not really on DPR’s radar due to rather limited market share, and it’s easier to award gear that is also a big hit at the box office.
Let’s go through the list.
Over at our massive Fujifilm GFX group, lots of Fujifilm GFX100 shooters are right now testing the brand new 400 megapixel pixel shift feature introduced with the latest firmware update to the Fujifilm GFX100.
I filter out some of the feedback for you here in this article, but make sure to check it out all over at our GFX group.
But there is more than just pixel shift.
In fact, users report also about significant eye autofocus improvements (which is listest by Fujifilm in the official improvements list).
With all the (well deserved) focus on pixel shift, we must keep in mind that applications for such a feature are limited. For most users the more relevant firmware change will be the autofocus improvement. And it seems that Fujifilm tweaked that one quite a bit, too.
So, down below there is some feedback. Make sure to join and check out the GFX group for more.

A long wait is going to end very soon.
Still people where sceptical about my rumors. But all doubt was finally dissipated when Fujifilm officially announced the pixel shift firmare in Februaruy 2020.
And today I can tell you that the long wait will soon been over.
I have been informed by trusted sources (thanks), that the Fujifilm GFX100 pixel shift firmware will be released in late November.
The new pixel shift multishot feature will take 16 images, shift the sensor using IBIS and finally combine all images into one monstruous 400 megapixel file that will send your files into crop-heaven!
The very same second the firmware will go live, you’ll read about it here on FujiRumors. So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors.
