Fujifilm Managers talk GFX Eterna, New Fujifilm Made Monitor and More: “The GFX Eterna Will Enhance also Other Models”

CineD interviewed top Japanese Fujifilm managers about the upcoming Fujifilm GFX Eterna, which is already listed at BHphoto here.

  • GFX Eterna is Fujifilm’s first dedicated filmmaking camera
  • GFX Eterna coming still this year
  • Price wise, the goal is to make it available not only for rental houses, but that people can actually own it – Price Rumor here
  • supports 4:3 open gate. Resolution better than 4K
  • rolling shutter depends on mode you are filming
  • also on GFX100II depending on what mode you select
  • “we are making sure that the camera has no rolling shutter issue when you are shooting with the camera”
  • 15ms is minimum rolling shutter (4K 16:9)
  • F-Log 2C was developed for the GFX Eterna, but since GFX100II already on the market, they added it there too
  • what is applied to GFX Eterna, will actually enhance also other models
  • Fujifilm developed a monitor that will be included in the package for the GFX Eterna
  • it’s not another brand making the monitor, but it is made by Fujifilm
  • 5 inch monitor with touch screen
  • Fujifilm has received a lot of requests for a viewfinder, so Fujifilm is considering how to respond to that
  • around NAB in April Fujifilm will be disclosing more specs, but probably not yet all about it, but the main specs
  • Fujifilm wants to make sure this camera is well accepted in the market, otherwise there is no second or third camera
  • dual base ISO, ISO800 and ISO3200
  • Johnnie from CineD says that the Fujifilm team is relatively small and the small team is working on multiple projects
  • the Japanese manager confirms, “you are right, we don’t have a big team, but our platform is the same, we have the 5th generation processor and sensor and so it’s quite efficient. Although we have a small team working on different categories and different products, but the team knows what’s going on for the other camera projects and that could be implemented between each other. We are doing our best with our small team“
  • Developing a camera takes about 2 years. Fujifilm tries to adjust to the market needs as much as possible, so if Fujifilm thinks it’s necessary, they would even stop the development of a camera and change to something else. But that does not happen so often
  • Fortunately our digital cameras have been very well accepted, but of course the market will change

Fujifilm to Bring Improved Image Quality and Colors to Vivo X200 Ultra Phone – Report

According to rumors surfaced on the web, Vivo is cooperating with Fujifilm for the next Vivo X200 Ultra smartphone.

The phone will use Zeiss optics, and as far as I understand, Fujifilm will provide the imaging software in order to get “more professional results” through image quality improvements and better color reproduction.

Now, I have no idea how reliable these rumors are. But if true, then Vivo has shown lots of wisdom ;).

Anyway…

We remind you that Fujifilm patented its own foldable smartphone, and we reported about it here.

And yes, software can play a significant part in the image quality results. In fact, it was Fuji’s software that convinced them to go with GFX, as we told you here.

Fujifilm FF250001 Patent Spotted – Fujifilm X-E5 or Half Frame Camera?

Fujifilm has registered a new camera under the code FF250001, as spotted and shared on the Chinese social media platform by account E8M here.

So we have a total of two registered and unreleased cameras:

While it is likely that the FF240004 is the Fujifilm GFX100RF, the second camera could be the half frame Fujifilm camera or the Fujifilm X-E5.

Or it could be also something else I am not yet aware of.

Certainly it’s not the Fujifilm X-Pro4.

Fujifilm GFX100RF: More Than Just a Camera for $5K – Here’s What You Get!

We told you that the Fujifilm GFX100RF will cost about 5,000 USD.

While 37% of you either though the price is OK or suspended the judgment until they see the full specs, 63% of you straight out voted that the price is too high – see poll results here.

But that’s apparently not the full story.

In fact, after we shared the survey, the same trusted source, who told us the US Dollar price, reached out to me and wanted me to inform the fellow Fujifilm community, that there is a bit more than “just” the camera and lens coming for “about 5K”. Because included in the price there will also be:

I guess this won’t change the mind of the 63% of people, who think the Fujifilm GFX100RF is overpriced, but it is a nice set of freebies anyway.

Update: Fujifilm never gave us free filters and filter adapters with cameras. Nor did they include a square lens hood. So this is a first ever for Fujifilm. Also, the strap is of a much higher quality than the cheap one we usually get.
