Sony launched the Sony A7rIV. You can read the facts and see the live stream again here.
It has a 61 MP full frame sensor, that offers 26 MP in APS-C crop mode. Anyone knows an APS-C Fuji camera with 26 MP out there? It’s all the same sensor wafer, just cut in differnt sizes for X-T3 (26 MP), A7rIV (61 MP) and GFX100 (102 MP).
The Sony A7rIV is a very fine camera, and I know at least one guy, who won’t be able to resist the temptation of buying it.
But one thing really grabbed my attention during the official presentation: the regular reference to medium format image quality.
The first reference comes from a Japanese Sony manager, who says:
Fujifilm has patented a touch sensitive top LCD panel, that should avoid erroneous operation when turning the command dial.
As I have understood it works basically like this:
If your finger touches the top LCD panel, the command dial is activated and you can adjust your settings. If no finger is on the touch panel, then turning the dial won’t change anything.
This is supposed to help operation with smaller cameras featuring a top LCD panel.
Set your camera, and once your finger is on the shutter button, your settings won’t change if you accidentally hit the command dial.
Moreoever, the top LCD panel adjust the display depending if a finger is detected or not. There is also an option to display fake dials, more or less like we see today already on the Fujifilm GFX100.
These are patents, that may or may not see the light of the day.
But it’s concept Fujifilm is studying, and here on FujiRumors we are always happy to give Fujifilm some feedback :).

Fujifilm X photographer Jens Krauer, who runs the FujiLove podcast, hosted Hugh Brownstone in his latest episode.
Both have excellent connections with Fujifilm, and I’d like to highlight the gear related part of their talk.
The whole 1+ hour episode is well worth to listen, so head over at sticher or Fujilove.
Thanks to the anonymous FR reader for letting me know, and looking forward to hear from you again ;).

I stumbled on a Fujifilm patent, that shows a compact camera with dual rear dials that operate synchronized to a top LCD panel.
This reminds us at the Fujifilm GFX100 fake dials, with the difference that this time we have 2 rear command dials that can be assigned to operate different camera functions, which then will be displayed in form of fake dials on the top LCD screen.
It looks like Fujifilm is continuing to develop a hybrid analog/digital solution, in an attempt to melt the best of both worlds into one user interface.
In this case, virtual dials could allow for a smaller camera design. Who knows, maybe something for a Fujifilm X80, if something like that will ever hit the market.

Nick Schreger has published a video, showing a couple of Fujifilm GFX100 factory settings that, according to him, don’t always make much sense, and he recommends you to change them.
The video is in German, so down below his setting advices in English.
Do you agree with this list? And which changes did you make to your Fujifilm default menu settings?

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
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.
