Imaging-resource published a long and very interesting interview with various Fujifilm managers, including Toshihisa Iida).
Here is a summary:
COVID-19:
In response to the terrific response to our first FR-readers wishlist corner article and the massive feedback I have received via email by fellow Fuji X/GFX shooters, here is the second episode of this series.
This series is all about your wishes about future Fujifilm cameras, lenses, firmware features and whatever you desire to see in Fuji’s future.
As I did receive tons of emails last time, I will focus this FR-readers wishlist corner mainly on cameras… lenses and firmware will follow at a later point.
It’s interesting to note that most of the wishes gravitate around the Fujifilm X-H2, proving that there is a huge “hunger” for a Fujifilm X-H1 successor.
The (now discontinued) Fujifilm X-H1 was initially a disaster in terms of sales. However, X-H1 sales revived later on thanks to terrific deals that gave it a sales-glory-moment.
The reason for the overall failure of the Fujifilm X-H1 was not its concept, but its timing: a few months later the Fujifilm X-T3 followed with new sensor and processor. I never understood this move by Fujifilm.
And yet, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Fujifilm X-H1, which, I remind you, snapped the top winning image at the World Press Photo awards.
I am strongly convinced that with the Fujifilm X-H2, Fuji is sitting on a potentially big winner.
Many X shooters would like a Fujifilm X-H2 right now, but as FujiRumors always told you, you have to be patient. Fujifilm is not going to repeat the errors made in the past. When the Fujifilm X-H2 will hit the market, it will be the right moment, have the right features and give the X-H line the position it deserves: right on the top of the high end X series line-up!
Do you have wishes about the Fujifilm future, too? Well, then write me at fujirumor@gmail.com.
Have a wonderful weekend,

We are talking since a long time, about the global shutter revolution coming to photography, and even Fujifilm itself talked about it, for example:
Inspired by an email of a reader, I went back to check which kind of global shutter sensors Sony has currently to offer.
Worth to mention and possibly of interest for Fujifilm shooters, are the following two:
Now, we know that the Fujifilm X-T4 and the Fujifilm GFX100 use the same sensor, just the one in the GFX100 is about 4 times bigger, hence it has 4 times the megapixel.
We also know that the current Fujifilm GFX sensor is a type 3.4″, hence slightly different than the IMX661LQA-C type 3.6″ listed above.
If we would take the 31 MP APS-C global shutter sensor and make a 3.4″ type of it, we would end up with about 123 megapixel on medium format Fujifilm GFX.
And as a reminder, Sony also released a 43 megapixel stacked APS-C sensor. The same sensor used on the GFX system would result in a 162 MP sensor.
I did my best to run FujiRumors during my holiday in South Italy, and I hope you did not notice all too much that I was busy with jumping into crystal clear water, eating ice cream and enjoying cool beers (my reward after months of COVID-19 caused home teaching).
But now I am at home again, and FujiRumors has all my attention again… so, get ready for some good stuff coming in August ;).
And in case you were busy with holidays too and missed some of our articles, here is a list of top ten July posts that you should better not have missed.
With that said, even on holidays, be careful, take your precautions and make sure to stay safe.

I apologize, because…
… I try and I think I succeed to reply to every single one of the 20+ emails and personal messages I get every single day.
However, not always I am able to give you the comprehensive reply you’d deserve, for a simple reason: time!
In fact, I have day job as a teacher and I run FujiRumors totally alone. Hence, in order to be able to reply to everyone with the limited time I have left, sometimes I just must give a shorter reply, even if often your emails would deserve a comprehensive answer.
Now, some of the most interesting emails I get, are those, with input, ideas and wishes for future Fujifilm products.
And since also to those emails, often I can’t reply as comprehensively as I’d love to, I had the idea to share them with the entire FujiRumors community, and extend the discussion to all of you.
Last time we discussed:
Today I’d have selected a few more of those wishes.
So, if anyone reading this is interested, feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments.
You have wishes about the Fujifilm future, too? Well, then write me at fujirumor@gmail.com.
