Now the Fuji Guys posted a video overview on the new firmware.

What’s curious, is that they also talk about a new firmware 1.20 for Fujifilm X-T4, which in fact has not been released. So I guess we will see it coming very soon.

And what does the X-T4 firmware bring? Well, the Fuji Guys tell us the following:

BREAKING: One More Fujifilm GFX Camera Coming 2021, More Affordable than GFX100S

I know many of you will be skeptical right now.

Why?

Well, because here is how things went so far:

So, in 4 years of GFX series, we got 3 cameras only, hence less than one camera a year.

Fujifilm rightfully focused on giving us lenses for the system, with 12 G mount lenses launched in 4 years.

But according to our trusted sources, this will change in 2021.

In fact, I have been told that Fujifilm will launch another GFX camera in 2021. It will be more affordable than the recently launched Fujifilm GFX100S.

Expect updates.

On FujiRumors.

Very soon.

Love you!

P.S.: Don’t worry, this new GFX camera won’t use the newly registered low capacity Fujifilm NP-70S battery. That battery is for… oh well, you’ll see soon enough. Just follow FujiRumors ;)

New Fujifilm NP-70S Battery Registered – Not for X or GFX Series Cameras

Nokishita spotted the registration for a new NP-70S battery.

Fujifilm’s unreleased battery “NP-70S” has been registered with an overseas certification body. The nominal voltage is 3.6V and the capacity is 680mAh

It’s a refresh of the original NP-70 battery used on Finepix cameras.

Other batteries used on X and GFX cameras are:

  • Fujifilm NP-W235 (7.2V – 2200 mAh) – used on X-T4 and GFX100S
  • Fujifilm NP-W126(S) (7.2V – 1260 mAh) – used on all X-series cameras except for X-T4 and on X100F and X100V
  • Fujifilm NP-T125 (10.8V – 1230 mAh) – used on GFX100, GFX50S and GFX50R
  • Fujifilm NP-95 (3.6V – 1800 mAh) – used on X100 series cameras except X100F and X100V and X70/XF10
  • Fujifilm NP-45S (3.7V – 740 mAh) – used on various Finepix cameras

Fujifilm GFX100S Shipping Delay: “Pre-Orders Exceed Expectations!”… and Why It’s Not a Marketing Move

Fujifilm has issued an official statement, telling customers that the Fujifilm GFX100S won’t ship at the end of February like planed (for the Japanese market), but later.

The reason is that the pre-orders exceed Fujifilm’s expectations. Hence, Fuji says it will “take some time” until they’ll be able to ship it.

Here is when major retailers expect stock at the time of this post:

  • BHphoto – 11 March
  • AmazonUS – No data. Listed, but not available for pre-order anymore
  • Adorama – 11 March

As usual when these notifications are released by companies, some say in the comments that this is some sort of marketing move.

But trust me: Fujifilm wants to ship as many GFX100S cameras within March as possible for the simple reason that the Japanese fiscal year ends in March, and the more GFX100S they will ship by then, the more Fujifilm can show up with good imaging division numbers in front of investors.

A shipping delay beyond March is the last thing they want. But so far, BH & Co still set the shipping start for March 11.

Here on FujiRumors we compared pre-orders of the Fujifilm GFX100S with the one of the GFX100, GFX50S and GFX50R, and we saw that the GFX100S alone got more pre-orders in the first three days then the other three GFX cameras combined.

Trust me: Fujifilm has landed a mega homerun with the GFX100S. Now it is crucial for Fujifilm to be able to ship it as fast as possible to cement this colossal success.

Shipping Delay Notificiation – Press Release

BREAKING: Fujifilm GFX100S will be a Bit Smaller than Fujifilm GFX50S

We told you back in early December, that the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100S will be “about as big” as the Fujifilm GFX50S.

Well, according to information I have received from trusted sources, the Fujifilm GFX100S will be actually “a bit smaller” than the Fujifilm GFX50S!

So let’s sum it up:

Just back in 2019, IBIS was the single most important reason why Fujifilm had to make the Fujifilm GFX100 so big. Now Fujifilm was able to minaturzie the mechanism to a point, that they can fit it into a much smaller body.

That thing looks better and better, the more we find out about it!

BREAKING: New Fujifilm GFX100 with IBIS will be “About as Big” as Fujifilm GFX50S

I have been told by trusted sources, that the new Fujfilm GFX100 will be “about as big” as the Fujifilm GFX50S.

And remember, the new Fujifilm GFX100 features IBIS!

It’s astonishing how much Fujiflm has downsized the IBIS unit in such a short time, considering that the one on the Fujiflm GFX100 clearly does not fit in the GFX50S or GFX50R.

Oh, and if you wonder what that “Xg” camera is next to the Fujifilm GFX50S, that’s one of the Fujiflm GFX mockups that Fujifilm has shown to DPReview back in 2019 here.

I have no idea who the new Fujifilm GFX100 will look like, but certainly it would not hurt if it would like that mockup.

RUMOR: Smaller Fujifilm GFX100 will Have IBIS and Coming Early 2021

The New Fujifilm GFX100

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.

IBIS or Not?

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.

New GFX100 Rumor Recap

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 ;).

Fuji Guys: Understanding Fujifilm GFX100 Pixel Shift Multishot and more Sample Videos

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:

  • the final image (a DNG merger from 16 images) is already fully demosaiced, because the camera capture full RGB color information with every capture as the sensor moves around

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.

Fujifilm GFX100 Pixel Shift First Tests: Single Shot RAW vs Pixel Shift DNG (Files to Download) and new Eye Autofocus Feedback

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.

TESTS (include RAW/NDG to download)
