Fujifilm GFX100RF Coming with Fuji’s Most Brilliant (and Irrational) Dial
If I should pick my all time favorite dial on Fujifilm cameras, then it would be the combined shutter/ISO dial we find on the Fujifilm X100VI and X-Pro3 for example.
In fact, I would be willing to pay more for a Fujifilm X-E5, just to get that dial also there.
Now, I don’t think (speculation, not rumor) that Fujifilm will put that dial also on the X-E5, because the combined shutter/ISO dial is complicated to manufacture and hence raises the price of the camera. And I guess Fujifilm does not want to make the X-E5 too expensive, nor make it too complicated (and therefore much slower) to manufacture.

But while I am not so optimistic about the X-E5 having that dial (even though it is the most desired one as we see here), today I can tell you that the combined shutter/ISO dial will be implemented also on the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100RF.
In fact, the Fujifilm GFX100RF might be the one Fujifilm camera with the most dedicated manual controls ever made, as in addition to the combined shutter/ISO dial, it will also feature:
I understand that dedicated manual controls aren’t for everyone. However, if you’re someone (like me) who enjoys having as many dials and levers as possible, if that’s what adds to your enjoyment and sparks your inspiration, then the GFX100RF could be an outstanding choice.
