Fujifilm GFX100RF Will NOT Have a Hybrid Viewfinder

We often refer to the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF as the bigger brother of the Fujifilm X100VI.

But there will be one crucial difference: according to our trusted sources (THANKS!), the Fujifilm GFX100RF will not have a hybrid optical and electronic viewfinder, but “only” an electronic viewfinder.

I guess this choice was necessary not only to contain the price (the hybrid viewfinder is an expensive part of the camera), but also to contain its size, because FujiRumors readers know that the Fujifilm GFX100RF will be “about as big” as the Fujifilm X-Pro3.

But for stuff that goes, other (and quite intriguing one) makes his debut on this camera, as we reported here.

Fujifilm GFX100RF: Crop Zoom Lever Additional Information

We recently reported that the Fujifilm GFX100RF will have a “crop zoom lever” under the shutter button.

At that time when I received the rumor, I did not exactly know what “under” means, so I did a random GFX100RF rendering with a huge lever integrated in the shutter button mechanism.

But thanks to sources (THANKS!!), we can now be more specific about it.

The crop zoom lever sits below the shutter button and below the command dial (and is not an integrated part of the shutter as my mock-up showed).

So you have the classic shutter button with ON/OFF switch, under that the command dial, and under that the Crop lever.

I hope this clarifies the location of the lever and I apologize if my random rendering created a misunderstanding. But just as you, I have no clue how this camera looks like and I am putting puzzle pieces together along with you.

Thanks again to sources!

The Fujifilm GFX100RF Revives Retro with Bold New Features

They told you Fujifilm lost its soul.

They told you Fujifilm bend to the will of mass market and focused on making cameras with PSAM dials.

They told you they were neglecting or even giving up on manual controls.

And then comes the Fujifilm GFX100RF, which ends all this.

Why?

Because not only it will very likely not have a PSAM dial (speculation, not rumor), but it will come with more manual controls than ever:

So you see: not only Fujifilm did not give up on retro and manual controls, but they are actively looking into solution to implement even more manual controls than ever before on their cameras.

And remember, there is also the Fujfilm X-E5 coming in summer 2025, which is definitely not a PSAM mainstream mass-market camera a la Sony, Canon or Nikon.

Dear Retro and Manual Control Lovers: there is a lot to look forward for us in 2025 ;).

And there is also the X-Pro line, which will continue for sure, and even more niche products like the Fujifilm TX-3 digital panorama camera.

Tell me another brand that goes so radical with retro, manual controls and niche products like Fujifilm.

Fujifilm GFX100RF Coming with New Crop Zoom Lever under Shutter Button

The Fujifilm GFX100RF is coming with more ergonomic novelties than we could have expected.

Not only it will feature a dedicated aspect ratio dial on the back of the camera, but our sources have told us that it will also have a “crop zoom lever” placed under the shutter button.

I don’t know you, but with these kind of rumors really get me excited. The more tactile controls it gets, the better it is.

Stay tuned for more rumors.

INTRIGUING: Fujifilm GFX100RF Rumored to Feature Unique Aspect Ratio Dial

The fixed-lens Fujifilm GFX is on its way, and it looks like it will introduce a fresh innovation to the Fujifilm X/GFX series that’s bound to catch the attention of manual control enthusiasts like me.

According to new information from my sources the Fujifilm GFX100RF will feature a new dedicated aspect ratio dial on the back of the camera.

Of course it is too early to judge this new feature/dial. We haven’t seen or used it yet. However, for those who appreciate a tactile experience with as many manual controls as possible, this addition has the potential to be quite intriguing.

But for now I suspend my judgment, even though you can call me intrigued by it.
