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.

What to Expect from Fujifilm in Early 2021: Smaller GFX100, GF80mmF1.7, X-E4, XF27mmF2.8 and Surprises… but a Fujifilm X-H2?

I don’t know you, but to me it looks like Fujifilm setting up a big show for the beginning of 2021.

Thanks to rumors reported here on FujiRumors, we already know that in early 2021 we will get:

I am constantly at work, and I think the surprises won’t end here. But I am working on it, triple checking and making all things necessary to give you guys accurate information.

So, expect the list above to be updated in near future and definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors.

And let me clarify one thing.

Some FR-readers erroneously thought that FujiRumors predicted the Fujifilm X-H2 for early 2021. Well, I never did. All I did is to say back in 2019, was that there won’t be any X-H2 in 2020.

There will be an X-H2 at some point, but none of my contacts has told me so far it will happen in early 2021.

What we know from the big Fuji bosses themselves, is that Fujifilm is working on a breakthrough before releasing the Fujifilm X-H2. Stay tuned on FujiRumors, and as soon as I can I will let you know when we can expect such a breakthrough.

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.

Fujifilm Releases Firmware Updates for Fujifilm GFX100 (Pixel Shift), GFX50S and GFX50R

Fujifilm has release firmware updates for Fujifilm GFX cameras, which include the long promised pixel shift firmware for GFX100.

– New features guide: English, Français, Deutsch, Español, Italiano, Nederland, Polski, Svenska, Norsk, Dansk, Pусский, Suomi, 中文简, 中文繁體, 한국어, ภาษาไทย, Arabic

The firmware update Ver.3.00 from Ver.2.01 incorporates the following issues:

  1. Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function is added.
    In the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot mode, the camera takes a series of 16 RAW images and by using in-body image stabilization(IBIS), moves the image sensor to get a high-resolution and real color* image. The multiple images are then combined to create a Digital Negative (DNG) RAW file using the FUJIFILM Pixel Shift Combiner software.
    * real color : As a pixel of an image sensor has one color filter from red, green or blue, we cannot detect the real color for the pixel. We need to interpolate the other colors from the surrounding pixel data for that pixel. This is called the demosaicing process. In case of Pixel Shift Multi-Shot photography, we can receive red, green and blue data for every pixel position. This means we receive real color information when using Pixel Shift Multi-Shot mode and the demosaicing process is not necessary.
  2. Ratings to images recorded in the [Jpeg + RAW] mode are applied to both Jpeg and RAW files.
  3. The phenomenon is fixed that in a multiple-flash shooting where the EF-X500 is used as a commander, flashes in some groups sometimes don’t fire correctly. Also in case the EF-X500 is used as a commander and the EF-60 as a remote flash, upgrade the camera firmware to the latest version.
  4. Accuracy of the Eye AF function for the front eye is improved
  5. Fix of minor bugs.
