No Fujifilm GFX100R Currently Under Development? A Huge Mistake and a Future Idea
We recently reported that the Fujifilm GFX100R (or any GFX50R replacement) is currently not under development.
And as we told you already, the best thing I can say is that at this point I believe it is currently debated inside Fujifilm if the line should continue at all (or not).
So today I’d like to speculate about the Fujifilm GFX100R, because I think Fujifilm would do a huge error if they’d axe the line.
So I hope this article (and especially your comments) will motivate Fujifilm to keep the GFX-R line going.
And in case Fujifilm needs it, I’ll share also a GFX-R mockup created by Aperture Value (video below).
In the mock-up he refers to it as a potential fixed lens GFX camera. But that’s not relevant for the purpose of this article.
What is relevant for us in his mock-up is:
- the hybrid viewfinder
- Retro Controls
I want kindly ask Fujifilm to make a Fujifilm GFX100R that is basically a medium format X-Pro, with hybrid viewfinder and retro controls.
I think it would become a huge success, especially considering that no other modern Fujifilm GFX cameras offers retro controls or a hybrid viewfinder, and as such, it would be the one camera people would grab if they’d want medium format image quality in a vintage package.
So, dear Fujifilm. Don’t hesitate. Do it! And take our money.
