Fujifilm Managers Interviews: About Competition and Alliances, Dreams of Modular and Fixed Lens GFX and More

There have been two interviews with Fujifilm managers, one in French (the more comprehensive one) and one in Japanese (short).

I will sum up both of them, but the Japanese one only because it involves Koji Matsumoto, the president of Fujifilm Imaging. It does not say much at all, but if we hear from his mouth that X-H2 and X-H2S are selling better than Fujifilm thought, than it has its value.

The French manager was definitely much more talkative and if you don’t speak French, our summary below will cover it all.

So What, Did FujiRumors Fall in Love with Fully Articulating Screens? Would a Fujifilm X-T5 with Selfie Screen be a Dealbreaker for You? POLL

3 Times I Loved the Selfie Screen

I lately shared a couple of posts on my Instagram page, showing images of myself making good use of the Selfie Screen on my Fujifilm X-T4.

So what, did I join the “dark side” and fell in love with fully articulating screens as some have suggested?

Well, not really.

The whole point of these posts was just to show that, in rare cases, a fully articulating screen really simplifies the composition of an image.

So here are 3 times I loved the fully articulating screen on my X-T4 as it allowed me to take a picture that would have been much more complicated and cumbersome to take with any other screen.

The Fujifilm X-T5 Dominates…

The Fujifilm X-T5 dominates our dreams and desires.

And how do I know that?

Well, because on the month where Fujifilm dropped a true stunner, the Fujifilm X-H2, the rumors and speculations of the Fujifilm X-T5 crushed anything X-H2 related in terms of views here on FujiRumors.

And guys, if the Fujifilm X-T5 is what you want, then you’ll get it… very very soon they say ;).

But while the Fujifilm X-T5 dominates your interest, there are some articles shared in September that you should not have missed. And if you did, here they are.

The Latest and Greatest

The Latest and Greatest…. NOT!

Not that it is my fault… but I certainly do not help.

I mean, I am attracted by the latest and greatest, my GAS is in constant frenzy (and my wife in constant worries ;)).

My techy-nerdy side is always looking at the details that make the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear better than the one I already own.

With one little distinction: my focus on the latest and greatest does not remain contained to my private life, but I share it publicly here on FujiRumors.

Tens of thousands of fellow X shooters follow me every day in my “obsession” with the latest and greatest, and sometimes the message here on FR might pass, that only what’s brand new and shiny is worth to be considered for this blog.

So let me re-focus, let me for one time ignore whatever Fujifilm has launched in terms of super new gear, and share a roundup that focuses on not so new gear that still brings great joy every day to many of us.

So, I am sorry, Fujifilm X-H2, X-H2S, XF56mmF1.2 R WR, GF20-35mmF4 and even Fujifilm X-T5 and what not. This is not your article. This is not your space.

Nope, this space is for all that gear that came before you and made Fujifilm great, before you even ever saw the light of the day.
