Fujifilm to Build an Advanced Semiconductor Materials Manufacturing Facility in South Korea

Share

There was a time, when Fujifilm made its own sensors. Mainly the 2/3 size sensor. But then they sold their business to Toshiba and Toshiba sold it to… Sony of course!

A Fujifilm manager said back in 2016 here, that the control over the sensor market is indeed a strategic advantage for Sony.

But Fujifilm has not given up everything.

In fact, they are still manufacturing semiconductor materials (including color filters) for example in Japan and in Taiwan as announced in 2016 here.

And apparently Fujifilm is doing that with great success, as currently Fujifilm boasts “over 80% global share in color filter materials for image sensors”.

Now the announcement that Fujifilm will expand this business further by building a new semiconductor materials manufacturing facility in South Korea.

I wish and hope that Fujifilm will continue to expand and eventually go back to make the entire sensor themselves.

DPRTV and Ted Forbes 2023 Predictions: Fujifilm X-Pro4 and Dedicated Video Camera

Share

DPRTV teamed up with Ted Forbes to predict the future of the Fujifilm system for 2023.

They predict two cameras:

  • Fujifilm X-Pro4 with 40MP
  • dedicated video camera

I won’t make any comment on anything at the moment, because as you can imagine, I am looking deep into 2023 already, and when the time has come and all the checks are done, I will drop 100% accurate rumors for you.

So for now take their predictions as what they are: fun speculations and wishes.

The FujiRumors community has a clear idea on what they want for 2023.

For the X series the most wished camera is indeed the Fujifilm X-Pro4 followed by the Fujifilm X100VI (or X100Vs or X200 or however Fujifilm is going to call the Fujifilm X100V successor).

For the GFX series, the top wish could be summed up with one word: speed!
