Intriguing Theory: Fujifilm to Merge GFX100 and GFX100S into a Single Camera (GFX100 II) – Tony Northrup

Tony Northrup made a video where they cover the Fujifilm GFX100 II rumors (btw, thanks Tony for mentioning FujiRumors as the source… it’s a rare thing these days ;)).

Now, since it covers what we have shared already, there is nothing new to find out for FujiRumors.

However, he has an explanation on what “angled top plate” could practically mean (and it would make a whole lot of sense), but he also has an intriguing theory regarding the future GFX camera lineup.

In fact, when guessing the price of the GFX100 II (the video was recorded before we leaked the price), Tony said:

I think the price is going to be lower than the original GFX100 because I think they want to sell more. And since I think they are combining the GFX100 and GFX100S, I think they are going to drop the price down to $8,500″

Now, if this was indeed the case, then merging 2 camera lines into 1 could simplify the lineup even more and maybe free up more resources for other concepts.

Maybe Fujifilm could add that more retro X-T styled Fujifilm GFX camera to the lineup that we have seen in form of a mockup already here. Or keep up developing the Fujifilm GFX-R rangefinder line at a faster pace.

Certainly it could be a possibility to merge GFX100 and GFX100S, especially now considering the size difference is no longer a major factor (optional battery grip) and also, looking at the leaked image, the GFX100 and GFX100S look to be very close in terms of ergonomics.

So guys, merging two lines to free up resources for other GFX concepts? What do you think about it?

Surprise? Fujifilm GFX100 II Sensor Could be Even Faster than we Thought (Anonymous Source)

So guys.

I can confirm it.

The Fujifilm GFX100 II will come with a new 100 megapixel sensor.

Now, in our previous rumors we told you it would be based on the sensor architecture of the Sony A6700/FX30 sensor. Hence a BSI sensor that is faster to read out than previous generation of BSI sensor (in use on X-T4, X-S20, GFX100S, GFX100 etc).

But now an anonymous source reached out to us and told us that the Fujifilm GFX100 II will use a different design compared to the A6700/FX30 sensor.

The source said that while the A6700/FX30 offers a 10-20% speed increase over the conventional BSI sensor, this new sensor in use on the GFX100 II will offer up to 50% increase in readout speed.

And just to be clear, we are not talking about a stacked sensor, but an improved BSI sensor, hence this also fits with the rumor we shared earlier.

Now, this information comes from an anonymous sources, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

In any case we can be sure that it is indeed a new sensor and we can expect overall speed improvements on the Fujifilm GFX100 II.

Then, how much faster it is to read out, we will find out on September 12.

LEAKED: Fujifilm GFX100 II Price – Surprised?

Despite having an all new sensor (never used on any X or GFX camera before).

Despite having the new X Processor 5

Despite having many of new features and some of them not even available on the most modern X series camera (see leaked specs below).

Despite inflation and parts shortage.

Despite all that, the Fujifilm GFX100 II will come with a price tag lower than the one of the orginial Fujifilm GFX100.

Much lower.

In fact, according to our sources, the price of the Fujifilm GFX100II will be of $7,499.

I think that’s a good price for this camera.

And if I look at the recent GFX100 II price survey we did, we can say that this price surprises 90%, because:

  • 47% of you thought the camera would cost more
  • 10% guessed the right price
  • 43% expected it to be more affordable

I am definitely in the camp of those people, who thought it would cost a bit more than $7,500.

Sunday Speculation: How Much do You Think the Fujifilm GFX100 II will Cost? – VOTE NOW

Do you have time this Sunday to speculate a bit around?

Yes?

Nice… so the question is this one:

How much do YOU think the Fujifilm GFX100 II will cost?

I recommend to take a look at the rumored specs below, and then let us know how much you think it will cost by voting the survey.

Why the range from $4,000 to $10,000?

Well, I’ve simply looked the price of all GFX cameras that are still available on the market and decided to start the survey at the price of the most affordable one, the GFX50SII at $4,000 and end it with the most expensive one, the GFX100 at $10,000.

If you want to go beyond that range, you can still vote for “less than $4,000” or “more than $10,000”.

BUT KEEP IN MIND:

This is a survey on how much YOU THINK it will cost based on the leaked specs, and not on how much YOU HOPE it will cost.

My Best and Most Realistic Guess as far as the Fujifilm GFX100 II Price Goes (Body Only) is...

CONFIRMED: Leaked Fujifilm GFX100 II Image is Real (and Has Angled Top Plate)

Do you remember when back in 2014 we leaked the first images of the Fujifilm X-T1?

Well, the camera was clearly visible due to the nice close up shots. And everybody thought: it has a dual card slot! It’s so clearly visible.

But FujiRumors told you: don’t trust your eyes, trust our sources. And our sources say it has a single SD-Card slot.

Well, today we are at this point again.

Because I can confirm that the leaked image of the Fujifilm GFX100 II is authenitic. That’s what multiple sources (trusted, new and anonymous ones) told me. Thanks a LOT!!!

And just like with the X-T1 many years ago, again I tell you: don’t trust your eyes, trust our sources.

Because even if it does not look like it, it does have an angled top screen.

And it also has a removable EVF, even though in the images it seems fixed.

You are of course free to doubt our information. On September 12 you’ll change your mind anyway ;)
