Fujifilm Releasing 2 New Camera Lines?

[@joshuaan5396]

x.....pro.....4.... pleaseeeeee

[@lukasbenjamin_]

Oh I’m really hoping for it!!

[@VolleyballLyfe]

Cool, they should release an autofocus that works.

[@GungKrisna12]

Their cameras are mostly made for street photography and modelling, and for making Instagram posts

[@lukasbenjamin_]

Yes I’ve unfortunately heard this many times, I hope for a fix in the near future.

[@geofff6671]

If you can't get your photos in focus don't blame Fujifilm. Every brand has had perfectly capable AF for more than a decade.

[@VolleyballLyfe]

@@geofff6671 lol I can focus my cameras just fine, but Fuji undoubtedly has the absolute worst af system of all major camera manufacturers. They’re light years behind and still trying to crank out cameras when they should be focusing on catching up on af. Only an unrealistic inexperienced Fuji fanboy would say otherwise. Go watch all the top Fuji KZbinrs about this latest firmware update and get back to me. They should also fix their distribution problem or at least stop artificially manipulating supply. It’s a terrible strategy.

[@VolleyballLyfe]

@@GungKrisna12 i understand what and who the majority of their demographic is but that doesn’t change the fact that their af system is light years behind all major brands. I prefer manual focus for street photography but for the price of an XT5 or even the new Xt50, you should be getting a more than competent af system with eye tracking. You’re not and each firmware for the XT5 the af has gotten worse. They need to hire some Canon tech away after their new R1 flops on presale lol.

[@micalangenburg1706]

Fuji planning to release all these "New Line Up" and yet can't fulfill the demand of the X100VI.

[@ForeverBrooklynNYC]

Not “can’t” - “won’t”. They are purposefully holding back supply for marketing reasons. Beyond frustrating.

[@micalangenburg1706]

@@ForeverBrooklynNYC I hate that they claim that, these "out of stock" issue would be solved since they moved the manufacturing to China, to meet the so called demands. Yet I see people who were fortunate to pre-order, are being told that the delivery will be on December. People who got it were so lucky, and the only you get it the easiest way is be a KZbinr lol.

[@Cary_mac]

This. This is a bit of market manipulation. Low production to make it look like they’re more popular than they are.

[@GungKrisna12]

@@ForeverBrooklynNYC so, hunger marketing?

[@ArminHirmer]

Medium format fixed lens, does not mean that it could not be a little zoom lens ;) maybe we see a 24 to 70 or something on it. Then it would make overall more sense (at least for me)

[@lukasbenjamin_]

Maybe haha, I’d like a prime lens more but it’s entirely possible:-)

[@lintentiondelefaire4082]

If you do some reading you will find that there already is support for that 65:24 format on the GFX 50S /R and 100. I don't see the need for a new camera just for this. However, the addition of that format to the newest 40 Megapixels sensor equipped cameras would be a welcome news.

[@stanobert3475]

A 28mm full frame lens equivalent would be perfect for the fixed lens medium format camera. We could bring our X series lenses and cameras for flexibility and the compact medium format camera for special scenes.

[@lukasbenjamin_]

I agree!!

[@nickvideolife]

Great video and I recognise my home island kos in those pictures 😊

[@lukasbenjamin_]

thanks! Its a lovely island! I visited last year.

[@fellowcitizen]

Anamorphic fixed lens to a FF sensor with a HybridVF could emulate the XPan. They could make two focal lengths -- equiv 21mm wide and equiv 55mm wide in order to provide a somewhat complete system. A third focal length could release if it were popular. They'd probably have to collaborate with the Chinese anamorphic speecialists in order to construct it, but that's ok as they would likely need to manufacture it there anyway to keep the cost reasonable.

[@albedo0point39]

For GFX fixed lens camera design cues, look back at the old Fuji GSW690iii and GW690iii cameras (the 'Texas Leica'). Awesome cameras, I owned a GW670iii when it came out, and more recently picked up a GSW690iii. The two models are equivalent to 28mm and 40mm in 35mm format.

[@lukasbenjamin_]

@@albedo0point39 thanks for the hint!! 40mm would also be great in my opinion

[@GungKrisna12]

The last time they made something closest to "Texas Leica" is the Fujifilm GFX50R

[@makmak69L7]

Thank you very much for this insightful video. I agree with you that a 35mm focal length (on full frame cameras) is not wide enough and at the same time not tight enough. It would make more sense if the fixed lens is 28mm equivalent. 28mm and 50mm are my favorite focal lengths.

[@lukasbenjamin_]

Thanks a lot!

[@love-fii]

I love Fujifilm ❤

[@markschneider1396]

I hope they do have a 50MP GFX rangefinder with the LEAF SHUTTER, and built in flash.

[@ajaybundela6274]

can't you already do a xpan crop in gfx cameras ? i wonder what is the point of making a digital camera for that specifically, also i hope we get some auto focus updates to bring fuji in the same ball park as other systems.

[@lukasbenjamin_]

Can’t tell you the reason, but rumour is they are thinking of developing it :-)

[@jimbimedia]

Fuji has a long history of quirky cameras with niche appeal. Making the same boring things as everyone else is not their style.

[@ajaybundela6274]

@@jimbimedia i don't mind having quirky cameras in the line up, but the software game has to be on point as well if you want to sell units, also isn't the xh and xs series pretty much the same as other boring cameras

[@BasilRoosli-jy9sr]

This thumbnail looks like GXAce's style

[@francisgarofalo3434]

Not that I know anything but a 28 mm (equivalent)lens on the GFX makes the most sense to me ,with such a huge sensor one could crop the image a la the Leica Q. They would have to stop it down to get that big sensor into the smallest body possible. Proably of most interest to photographers not videographers. That's something I would take a hard look at

[@lukasbenjamin_]

I had the same thought about copying the Leica Q. It makes sense to be honest, I’m just not the biggest fan😬 Contrary I hope this won’t be such a small camera, I’d like it to be similar to the gfx50r

[@arturaszaleskis8907]

As I suspected it might be a case that Fuji abandoning its mirrorless X system, I don't believe they will upgrade any XF lenses either, too bad but XH recent line its a last one for sure

[@ForeverBrooklynNYC]

Has the X-Pro line been retired? I’d rather have an X-Pro4 than either of these rumored cameras

[@lukasbenjamin_]

I think it’s not confirmed officially but as far as I know an xpro camera might come around 2025/2026

[@michaelhall859]

XE5 with ibis please...

[@Holzi4000]

Do you think we will ever see a 23mm pancake (35mm equivalent)? Or will this never happen because that makes the x100 kind of irrelevant?

[@lukasbenjamin_]

Hm, we have a 27mm and 23mm pancake lens, so I think it’s unlikely directly from fujifilm. :-(

[@adnan_velic]

Just AF all we need is good AF PLEASE!

[@paulwalschburger2142]

I couldnt use my XH2S for my wedding videos anymore... Had to switch to sony. Thousands of dollars down the drain. Beyond heartbroken

[@ObservingBeauty]

Great video

[@lukasbenjamin_]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@artsilva]

Fixed lens GFX, sounds like a fail especially at GFX prices, The three lens X-Pan idea makes more sense as this was a common thing in the film era of rangefinders.

[@73smoo]

Before they develop a new camera lines they should fix their tracking autofocus. If the X-mount is the problem they should develop a new X-mount. The sooner the better...

[@stevegodsell]

I agree that Fujifilm is not cutting edge with tracking....but... as someone who is old enough to have shot Formula 1 races and team sports such as football and cricket with a 35mm film camera, I would comment from experience that if someone needs AF tracking to get good shots, they may be better off improving their skills than blaming the camera.

[@73smoo]

@@stevegodsellI know, I am practising it since years - because I have a Fuji. But I see the photos of fast moving animals behind bushes of Canon and Sony shooters - tack sharp eyes. It's so frustrating if you try the same with a Fuji camera. The one or other photo is sharp. But I have many photos which COULD have been great.

[@Elegant-Capybara]

Skill issue

[@MartinArchea]

@@Elegant-Capybara there is no skill involved in having usable autofocus, stop fanboying

[@nandysullivan3005]

​@@stevegodsell the reason fuji will doomed soon

[@ChrisThe1]

how about they produce enough of their products they already have and fix their autofocus first

[@ianarigadas6777]

Your auto focus is great but it doesnt compare to brands like cannon and sony.

[@lukasbenjamin_]

yea unfortunately

[@nicholascorby3109]

Fuji should fix the autofocus on current models first, before releasing new models!!

[@daveboyle5751]

Fuji need to fix their shitty AF before releasing anymore half finished cameras.

[@haroon420]

Better start saving £10k for both cameras. 😖😖
