But there might be even more in the pipeline. Maybe even some I could not see coming, just as it was the case of the Fujifilm GFX Eterna.
My best guess so far is that it could be the Fujifilm GFX100RF fixed lens camera or the Fujifilm GFX Eterna. But that’s just a guess. And in fact it does not really matter which codename which camera has. There will always be a codename because there will always be a camera coming.
As we told you yesterday, an anonymous source contacted us with the details about the upcoming fixed lens Fujifilm GFX camera.
First off: THANKS for the help!!! And second: it’s all very accurate according to my trusted sources, except for one thing (and at this point you know what). If you want, we can chat 100% anonymously via Signal to talk about it.
So these are the first specs of the Fujifilm GFX RF.
Name: Fujifilm GFX100RF
100 Megapixel
No IBIS
GF35mmF4 Lens
Coming March 2025 (it’s unclear if this is the date for the announcement of for the shipping… or maybe even both? I will let you know if I figure that out).
No IBIS makes sense, considering that it will be very compact for a medium format camera. In fact, we told you it will be “about the size of the Fujifilm X-Pro3“.
Also 35mm was to expect, as we always told you it will be a 28mm equivalent lens (hence 35mm on GFX). We also told you it will be an f/3.2 lens, but we were not sure if it was f/3.2 on GFX or f/3.2 Full Frame equivalent. Well, we can now say it will be f/3.2 FF DOF equivalent (hence f/4 of GFX)
An anonymous source (THANKS) has send us the name of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX fixed lens camera.
It will be called Fujifilm GFX100RF.
We have also received a few specs that I am now in the process of verifying. But the first feedback I got is that they are very likely all correct, except for one.
To the anonymous source: if you want, we can chat 100% anonymously via Signal, so I can tell you what I hear regarding that other detail that does not match up. Or just drop me an email if you want (you can create a fake email account).
To my fellow FR-readers: I should be hearing back from my trusted sources very soon, it could be a matter of hours. Once the specs are 100% confirmed, I will share them here on FujiRumors.
But I’ll also take some extra time to verify any additional details that don’t fully align with the information I have heard so far. Only when the conflicting reports are solved I will be able to give you the final answer.
If you thought the film simulation dial of the Fujifilm X-T50 was a one-time experiment by Fujifilm, then forget about it.
Hate it or love it, it is here to stay and it will be used also on the upcoming Fujifilm X-M5.
Of course the question now is: will there be also other future Fujifilm cameras that will use that dial?
Well, we can safely assume that higher end cameras won’t use the film simulation dial. I simply can’t believe Fujifilm would put one on the Fujifilm X-Pro5 or Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-H3 or Fujifilm X-H3S.
But as we can see on X-T50/X-M5, on mid-low end cameras Fujifilm might as well use that dial.
So now the question comes up: will maybe the Fujifilm X-E5 have a film simulation dial, too?
I do not have the answer to that question.
But what I can do until I find the answer, is to ask you which dial you’d like on the Fujifilm X-E5.
I guess the most realistic options are either a shutter speed dial or a film simulation dial.
Fujifilm must make sure the errors of the X-E4 are not repeated. The X-E5 must be produced in sufficient numbers. And that dial is just too cumbersome to make.
And yet, out of curiosity, I will give you also that dial option to vote on. Just to see if I am the only one who’s in love with that dial or if there are also others who’d pay a bit more for an X-E5 just to get that dial.
We have been informed by a source, who was right in the past (THANKS), that there will be an improved hybrid viewfinder on the X-Pro4/X-Pro5.
I don’t know yet what the improvement will look like. Is it just a higher resolution EVF? A larger viewfinder?
But what I really hope is the same what Thomas B. Jones said in his latest X-Pro5 whishlist video (see below in German): the return of the slot-in magnifiers.
So what’s that?
Well, if you are not familiar with the X-Pro line, up until the Fujifilm X-Pro2, the X-Pro line offered a slot-in magnifier for 0.36x and 0.60x magnification mode in the OVF.
This has been changed on the Fujifilm X-Pro3, which offers a fixed 0.52x magnification which is great if you are shooting with Fujifilm’s 23mm, 33mm or 35mm lenses (which most X-Pro users do).
However, with lenses like the Fujinon XF18mmF1.4, the image that hits the sensor is larger than the one that can be displayed on the OVF.
The return of the slot-in magnifier could solve this problem and make the XF18mmF1.4 the perfect match for the next X-Pro camera.
But again, I do not know what the change the hybrid viewfinder will have, nor if it will be something minor or major. But if I hear anything more, I will let you know here on FujiRumors.
