Fujifilm has released the long awaited firmware that adds Frame.io Camera to Cloud support for the Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-H2s (and also fixes a few bugs).
The Fujifilm GFX100 was launched back in 2019 and it was definitely revolutionary for its time, with a backside illuminated 102 megapixel sensor and IBIS, giving medium format speed and flexibility unseen until then in the digital medium format world.
I did go hands on with the Fujifilm GFX100, but these are the three main reasons I did not buy it:
too expensive
too big
I didn’t find it intuitive to use. I much prefer Fujifilm cameras with dedicated dials or at least dedicated PSAM dial.
Personally I’d have looked more forward to a Fujifilm GFX100S with 5th generation goodness or a GFX100R. But I know also the Fujifilm GFX100 has its loyal fellowship and I am working on all the details.
So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors if you want to know more about it.
When I shared my video (and partially rant) about the Fujifilm X-E4 being discontinued and what that could mean for the Fujifilm X-E line going forward, I quickly mentioned in that video that I believe one line Fujifilm will never drop is the Fujifilm X-Pro line.
Why?
Because the X-Pro line is a very prestigious line for Fujifilm. It was Fujifilm’s first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera and as such it is symbolically very important for Fujifilm.
Sure, Fujifilm won’t refresh it as often as they do with other lines, but it will continue (in my opinion).
But I said something else in the video.
I said that the Fujifilm X-Pro line will become a more “experimental” line for Fujifilm, and we can see that happening already now with the hidden LCD of the Fujifilm X-Pro3.
And you know what? I am good with it.
The Fujifilm X-Pro is a niche camera and I find it OK if the they try niche stuff with it.
So assuming Fujifilm will continue to experiment around with that line, what would you like to get with the Fujifilm X-Pro4?
An X-Pan X-Pro? Or maybe a monochrome X-Pro? Or why not get rid of the LCD entirely? Or keep the LCD, but put a stacked sensor in it and get rid of the mechanical shutter instead? Any other ideas?
Feel free to drop your wish in the comments. I might collect them in future and make a survey out it.
We recently reported that Viltrox has officially teased the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 for Fujifilm X coming soon.
Now, according to information leaked overseas, the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 will get the “PRO” badge, so we can expect it to be optically on the higher end as the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro for Fujifilm X mount.
This does not come really surprising, given the same fast aperture, but never give anything for granted ;).
