Fujifilm GFX100S Size Reduction Explained by Fujifilm Engineers – Fujifilm X Lab

Fujifilm has uploaded its latest Fujifilm X lab episode. As usual the episode is in Japanese and we rely on the automatic translation tool.

But I don’t want my readers to go through this pain, so I have summed it up for you below, as well as shared all close up images of the internals of the Fujifilm GFX100S.

Most of the size reduction was achieved thanks to the new shutter mechanism. But also the IBIS got smaller and even the Fujifilm X-T4 battery played a role in this.

Everything is nicely summarized for you down below ;).

What We Expect to See from Fujifilm in 2021… and What Not!

What we Expect from Fujifilm

I thought I make a quick list of cameras and lenses that we could see in 2021, and what we surely will not get in 2021.

ATTENTION: It’s a mix of rumors, speculations and hopes. So read carefully to distinguish one from another.

2021 will be full of rumors, so make sure to follow FujiRumors on Facebook, Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram.

Mirrorless Camera Market Share 2019: Fujifilm Third after Sony and Canon and a Quick Look into the 2020 Market Share

You might remember how back in November 2019, we shared the worldwide mirrorless camera market share data for 2018 here (for the DSLR+mirrorless data check out this article).

Now a year has passed, and Techno System Research, a major marketing research company located in Japan, has published the data for 2019.

So what changed between 2018 and 2019? Let’s compare:

The Ultimate Fujifilm Film Simulation Guide :: Get Bleach Bypass & Co in C1 on Older Fuji Cameras :: & More – X-Trans/Film Sim. Roundup

X-Trans / Raw Converters / Film Simulations Roundup

These days I am catching up with all the content you guys shared me over the last few weeks and months, and I promised to share at some point.

So, after a big camera roundup and a big lens roundup, here is a X-Trans Raw Coversion film simulation roundup.

Why all this in such a short time?

Well, because soon Fujifilm will unleash a product-strom, with the announcement of:

And all this goodness will come on January 27.

Ahead of January 27 there will be lots of rumors, and after that, FujiRumors will cover everything you need to know about the new products.

So I am using this weekend of realitive quiteness to catch up. And I know there is still content you guys sent me that has not yet been shared. I have it all saved. And at some point I’ll share that one too.

I really do my best, but it’s a huge amount of content you send me and that I have to check out. And no matter how hard and how much I work, it’s not easy to keep up sometimes.

Down below you can check out today’s roundup.

BREAKING: Fujifilm GFX100S with 3-Way Tilt Screen (and NOT a Fully Articulating Screen)

I don’t why, but this morning my inbox was bombarded by people asking me the same question: will the Fujifilm GFX100S really have a fully articulating screen?

So let me adress this now: No, it won’t!

The Fujifilm GFX100S will have a 3-way tilt screen like the one on the Fujifilm X-T3.

Some Vloggers will still complaint in their first looks on January 27 that they can’t shoot medium format handheld selfie videos, but I guess most of the other medium format shooters will be just fine with this solution ;).

Nitecore FX3 Dual Battery Fast Charger for Fujifilm X-T4

As the Fujifilm X-T4 comes without a charger, the first investment I did along with my X-T4, was to get the Fujifilm BC-W235 Dual Battery Charger.

Since a few weeks now, also Nitecore offers it’s own dual charger for Fujifilm X-T4 batteries, the Nitecore FX3 dual battery charger for Fujifilm X-T4. It costs you about half the price of the original charger.

As of now you can get it in various combinations:

The Nitecore FX1 dual charger for NP-W262S batteries was one of the top 5 sellers on FujiRumors in 2018.

It will soon be available also at other stores:

But as said, it’s not the only option out there. There is for example:

Fujifilm 2021: Is This Really All? Or How Much New Gear We Could Get in 2021 Looking at Fujifilm’s Past Camera & Lens Releases

Fujifilm 2021 – Is This Really All?

Every week I get many emails from fellow FR-readers, asking me if this is really all.

They look at the current X mount roadmap and the latest G mount roadmap, and they see only 3 lenses in total. That’s meager.

Then they look at our rumors, see that we rumored only two cameras, the Fujifilm GFX100S and the Fujifilm X-E4 and wonder if that’s all for 2021.

I diligently reply to all of them, but it has become quite time consuming. So let me address this question one final time here on FujiRumors, so that in future I can just copy and paste the link to this article and send it to those, who inevitably will make me the same question again.

How Many Cameras Could we Get?
