What’s Next for GFX? The Rise of Speculations (and My Take on Them)

Share

There is pattern in the Fujifilm world.

And the pattern is, that the sensor used on the X series, later on finds its way also on the GFX series.

The only difference? The sensor used in the GFX series comes from the same silicon wafer of the one used for the X series, it is just cut out 4 times bigger (and of course with different CFA array on top, meaning a Bayer vs an X-Trans one).

That’s a well known fact for FR-readers, but in case you are still hesitant about it, just read what Fujifilm Nordic told in March 2022, confirming that X and GFX share the same technology also in terms of sensor and processor. Hence, looking at the X series will give indications also on the future of the GFX series.

Well, so let’s look at it.

In terms of 5th generation sensors we have:

Assuming that Fujifilm will continue to share the same sensor platform on the X and GFX system, and considering the statements made by Fujifilm Nordic, people believe that Fujifilm will soon launch new GFX cameras using the sensor technology of the X-H2 cameras.

And if I’d sum up the most “rumored” options for the future of GFX, I’d nail it down to three cameras that people think could come in a not so distant future::

  1. Fujifilm GFX100S with 102 MP stacked BSI sensor
  2. Fujifilm GFX150S (or GFX160S) with 158 MP non-stacked BSI sensor
  3. Fujifilm GFX100S MKII (same sensor of current GFX100S but with new processor)

So is this really the case? Let’s talk about it.

Fujifilm X-T3 Discontinued (but it Resisted 2+ Years After it Was Replaced by Fujifilm X-T4)

Share

Back in September 2021, Fujifilm quietly introduced the Fujifilm X-T3 WW. The Fujifilm X-T3 “worldwide” version is an X-T3 sold without battery charger!

It was the best deal on an X-T3 you can get, but now it is starting to run out of stock forever, as for example BHphoto has marked it as discontinued.

The X-T3 was a massive hit for Fujifilm, and even though it has been replaced by the Fujifilm X-T4 in February 2020, it was able to stay on the market until now.

It’s actually incredible how long it could “resist” and keep up selling on the market despite the X-T4 with IBIS being launched 2+ years ago.

However, now it’s time also for the Fujifilm X-T3 to retire. The Fujifilm X-T4 will keep the sales for the X-T series going, at least until we get the Fujifilm X-T5.

Fujifilm X-H2: Getting 8K and 40MP for just $1,999 is Crazy Good Price Indeed – A Price Comparison with Canon R5

Share

IN STOCK CHECK

I just shared the price for the 40MP Fujifilm X-H2, which will be of $1,999.

I called this a crazy good price in my original article, but given that there was some skepticism on my definition I think I need to give you a bit more context on why I consider the 40MP Fujifilm X-H2 very gently priced.

And in order to do that, we have to look at other high resolution non-stacked and 8K capable full frame cameras.

So let’s talk about it and compare it to how much you pay to get other 8K mirrorless cameras on the market today.

  • Canon R5 (45MP and 8K): $3,900
  • Fujifilm X-H2 (40MP and 8K): $1,999

Sure there are also other 8K mirrorless cameras out there (the 50MP Sony A1 for $6,500 and the 45MP Nikon Z9 for $5,500), but those are also stacked, so they obviously cost more and they’d make the comparison very unfair

So at the moment, the only camera it makes a bit sense to compare the Fujifilm X-H2 is the Canon R5.

And as you can see, going for a high resolution and 8K capable APS-C body (X-H2) will cost you about half the price than going with the cheapest high resolution 8K mirrorless full frame camera out there (R5).

Plus, we can also expect better heat management from the Fujifilm X-H2, due to the APS-C sensor generating overall less heat than the FF sensor. And we can see already on the 6.2K Fujifilm X-H2S how incredibly well it handles heat.

BREAKING: 40MP Fujifilm X-H2 Price Leaked now on FujiRumors

Share

IN STOCK CHECK

Leaking a price months before the actual announcement is definitely a risk for me. Because in my experience Fujifilm can change the price tag until just hours before the final announcement.

And given that the Fujifilm X-H2 40MP will be announced in September, there is still lots of time for Fujifilm to change plans.

However, I will share it anyway, because I have received multiple confirmations from several trusted sources that this is the current price tag. It does not mean it can’t change, but it means that Fujifilm is really doing everything possible to keep that price tag.

According to several highly trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-H2 40MP non-stacked 8K capable camera will cost $1,999.

That’s a crazy good price if you ask me.
