First Used Fujifilm X Half Cameras Available, Fujifilm X100F and More Used Fujifilm Gear

The first used Fujifilm X half cameras are now listed at BHphoto.

There is also a used Fujifilm X100F available as well as the Fujifilm X100V (but the V is overpriced)

But there is a lot more Fujifilm gear listed used at BHphoto. For example:

Fujifilm Patents Full Frame 40mm F2, GF 20mm F2.8 (GFX) and XF 15mm F2.8 (APS-C)

A bunch of patents have now been published and have been reported by the Japanese website asobinet.

Based on the info provided, it is mainly it’s about:

  • Fujinon GF 20mm f/2.8
  • Fujinon XF 14mm f/2.8
  • Fujinon 40mm f/2 – for Full Frame

You know my take on patents. I mean, I am still waiting for that lovely foldable Fujifilm smartphone ;).

Just saying… take them with a grain of salt.

RUMOR: Fujifilm GFX Eterna Full Announcement in September

Back in 2024 Fujifilm has announced the development of the following gear

Since then Fujifilm has released several tidbits about the Fujifilm GFX Eterna at the various trade shows.

But when will we get the full announcement?

Well, back in January 2025 an anonymous source told us it could happen June 5-8 at the Cine Gear Expo.

I did warn you to take it with a grain of salt, and I did tell you I’d give you an update on this as soon as I can.

Well…. now I can give you an update. :)

According to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm GFX Eterna should be announced in September.

We are talking of full announcement, with full specs, pre-orders and all that stuff.

But this does not mean we won’t get more details soon, and Cine Gear Expo could be a good opportunity to showcase more of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX Eterna.

DUNE Cinematographer Greig Fraser Tests Fujifilm GFX Eterna

Greig Fraser, cinematographer of the Dune blockbuster movies and author of the highly rated Dune: Exposures book, is apparently already testing a working unit of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX Eterna filmcamera.

We can see that from an story shared by Greig on his Instagram page a few days ago here.

The Fujifilm GFX Eterna will be released this year, along with the first dedicated GF video-centric lens, the Fujinon GF32-90mmF3.5.

Speaking of Dune: Chiabella James, author of the book Dune Part 1 – The Photography took the behind the scenes images of the Dune movie with Fujifilm APS-C gear, as we reported here.

Fujifilm and Hollywood always had a special feeling.

From Avatar to Mission Impossible, from Oppenheimer to Dunkirk and Joker. Fujifilm gear is used at the biggest movie sets of this world.

Fujifilm Managers talk GFX Eterna, New Fujifilm Made Monitor and More: “The GFX Eterna Will Enhance also Other Models”

CineD interviewed top Japanese Fujifilm managers about the upcoming Fujifilm GFX Eterna, which is already listed at BHphoto here.

  • GFX Eterna is Fujifilm’s first dedicated filmmaking camera
  • GFX Eterna coming still this year
  • Price wise, the goal is to make it available not only for rental houses, but that people can actually own it – Price Rumor here
  • supports 4:3 open gate. Resolution better than 4K
  • rolling shutter depends on mode you are filming
  • also on GFX100II depending on what mode you select
  • “we are making sure that the camera has no rolling shutter issue when you are shooting with the camera”
  • 15ms is minimum rolling shutter (4K 16:9)
  • F-Log 2C was developed for the GFX Eterna, but since GFX100II already on the market, they added it there too
  • what is applied to GFX Eterna, will actually enhance also other models
  • Fujifilm developed a monitor that will be included in the package for the GFX Eterna
  • it’s not another brand making the monitor, but it is made by Fujifilm
  • 5 inch monitor with touch screen
  • Fujifilm has received a lot of requests for a viewfinder, so Fujifilm is considering how to respond to that
  • around NAB in April Fujifilm will be disclosing more specs, but probably not yet all about it, but the main specs
  • Fujifilm wants to make sure this camera is well accepted in the market, otherwise there is no second or third camera
  • dual base ISO, ISO800 and ISO3200
  • Johnnie from CineD says that the Fujifilm team is relatively small and the small team is working on multiple projects
  • the Japanese manager confirms, “you are right, we don’t have a big team, but our platform is the same, we have the 5th generation processor and sensor and so it’s quite efficient. Although we have a small team working on different categories and different products, but the team knows what’s going on for the other camera projects and that could be implemented between each other. We are doing our best with our small team“
  • Developing a camera takes about 2 years. Fujifilm tries to adjust to the market needs as much as possible, so if Fujifilm thinks it’s necessary, they would even stop the development of a camera and change to something else. But that does not happen so often
  • Fortunately our digital cameras have been very well accepted, but of course the market will change

Share Your Love – Fujifilm X/GFX Communities to Follow

FujiRumors is nice and good.

You get exclusive rumors, fresh news and overall it is just a useful and informative place to be for Fujifilm X and GFX lovers (at least I hope you perceive it this way, too).

But it has one major limit: it’s a one man show.

And while this is good, because news and rumors are filtered through my expertise, making sure for example that fake rumors have no space here, the disadvantage is that there’s a single perspective at play, which can sometimes limit diversity in opinions.

But luckily there is a way to “escape” my unilateral view on the Fujifilm system.

You can always comment below, but you can also join the vibrant Fujifilm communities linked below, in which you will find and can share all possible thoughts and ideas about the Fujifilm system… and especially, you will be able to enjoy TONS of images taken with Fujiflm gear.

Fujifilm GFX Eterna Might Come Early June (Cine Gear Expo) for about 15-20K USD

DISCLAIMER: this information comes from an anonymous source, so please take it with a grain of salt. Once I can confirm (or not) any of these details, I will share the updates here on FujiRumors.

In late 2024 Fujifilm made the development announcement for the Fujifilm GFX Eterna film camera along with a new dedicated film-oriented lens, the Fujinon GF32-90mmF3.5.

Fujifilm told us that the camera would be announced in 2025, and now we have possibly more information about it.

In fact, an anonymous source reached out to us and told us that the camera would be announced for the Cine Gear Expo 2025 (June 5-8).

The source also said it would cost between 15 to 20K USD, which makes it significantly more affordable than for example the Sony Burano 8K cine camera but also much more expensive than something like the Canon C400 6K cine camera.

I guess it was to expect that the price would be somewhere in between the Canon C400 and the Sony Burano, but I was hoping it would be around 12K to make it a truly aggressive entry in the cine camera market by Fujifilm.

And yet, we have to keep in mind that the Fujifilm GFX Eterna will feature a sensor that is about 70% larger than the one on the Sony Burano and the Canon C400. And the sensor is the most expensive part of the camera.

For example, the old 50MP sensor cost about 2,000 USD at the time when the GFX50R was launched. The new 100MP should be even more expensive than that (around 3K I hear, but I am verifying this).
