TIPA AWARDS 2021: Awards for Fujifilm, Sony, Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Panasonic, Pentax, Tamron, Laowa and More

TIPA has worked very hard and made a brutal selection, in which only the very best of the crème de la crème of the top of the top could win their extremely prestigious TIPA award.

Or in other words: camera companies paid again a lot of money to win meaningless awards.

And in order to make it even easier for companies to win (and hence make more money by selling award licenses), they created tons of categories, such as “expert”, “advanced” and “professional”.

Now to the winners.

Fujifilm GFX50S MKII will NOT be Announced on August 27

Image shows FCC registration of GFX100S

Just a little clarification.

The fantastic folks over at Nokishita recently spotted the FCC registration for the FF210001 camera. The info we got from that was:

  • there is an FF210001 camera registered
  • it has almost the size of the GFX100S
  • marketing material release is on August 27

Prior to this, FujiRumors told you:

  • there will be a GFX50SMKII
  • same sensor of original GFX50S

So, what Nokishita tells you is 100% accurate. I mean, that’s really what the FCC registration says and as usual Nokishita makes a hell of job when it comes to spotting registrations.

But here is the thing.

While Nokishita reports accurately that the marketing material is currently scheduled for August 27 release at the FCC, it is also true that this is not the date for the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII annoucement.

So guys, on August 27 you can:

  • get badly drunk with friends for an end-of-pandemic party
  • bring out your better half to an elegant dinner (and in that occasion explain her/him why you really need that new lens)
  • do whatever makes you happy

You won’t miss any Fujifilm annoucement on August 27.

The date for the Fujifilm GFX50S announcement will be a different one (if Fuji keeps the date fixed this time, as it keeps changing). Once it’s final, I’ll let you know.

For the rest of the specs, some of them might come surprising to you (at least they were for me), all you need to do is to follow FujiRumors.

Yes, Fujifilm GFX50S MKII is Going to 100% Use the 50MP Sensor of Original Fujifilm GFX50S

So, what did Nokishita tell us so far?

  • Fujifilm registered an FF210001 camera
  • the FF210001 camera has almost same size of GFX100S
  • the FF210001 marketing material is scheduled for release on August 27

That’s it, and being so vague, I can totally understand your confusion. Nokishita does not tell us the name of the camera, nor any specs beside the similar size to the GFX100S.

Well, I have noticed so much random and misleading guesses after nokishita’s leak, that it’s time to underline some hardcore facts I already told you 2 months ago, and that I 110% confirm now:

Also, the images Nokishita showed us (as the one above), are of the GFX100S registration, not of the GFX50S as some websites reported

Don’t worry, I’ll let you know more soon. You’ll be surprised ;).

LEAKED: Fujifilm GFX50S MKII has Almost Size of GFX100S and Coming August 27

ATTENTION: the images you see above refer to the GFX100S registration file, and NOT to the GFX50S MKII. The first three specs sheets only refer to FF210001, hence GFX50S MKII

We already told you 2 months ago here, that the registered FF210001 camera is the Fujifilm GFX50S MKII.

Now Nokishita spotted the FCC registration with a few more details.

Fujifilm’s unreleased digital camera “FF210001” has also passed FCC certification. Equipped with Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b / g / n) and Bluetooth. Is the size almost the same as GFX100S? The planned release date of detailed materials at this time is August 27, 2021

Since nokishita says it, I will report about it. But I wouldn’t place my money on an August 27 announcement. The size should be close to the one of the GFX100S, as you can see above from the diagram of the GFX100S that nokishita included.

As we already told you, the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII will feature the same sensor of the original Fujifilm GFX50S, hence non-BSI and non-PDAF 50 Megapixel.

I will investigate and give you more details as soon as I can.

Fujifilm GFX100S Technical Analysis: 4 Small Sensors Stitched Together, Banding Fixed also on GFX100 and More

Jim Kasson continues his technical analysis of the Fujifilm GFX100S.

We already reported how he noticed that the Fujifilm GFX100S solved the PDAF banding issue.

He did check it on his original Fujifilm GFX100, and also there he says the banding has been fixed, as you can read here. FujiRumors already told you here that Fujifilm secretly fixed it via firmware update. Now Jim’s test finally confirms that.

Also, he confirms what we already told you back in 2017 here: the huge medium format GFX sensor is made of four small sensors stitched together. However, to be clear, this will not create any problem in your images.

UPDATE: as Jim explain more precisely at our wonderful GFX group here:

The GFX 100S sensor is not 4 small sensors stitched together. The lithography is stitched. It’s analogous to creating a pano by stitching. The result is on one piece of paper. In the GFX case it’s one piece of silicon.

Here is his most updated coverage:
