As much as I love this idea, I don't think Fujifilm will launch whole FF system. It's too much hassle and money. They don't have resources necessary to fight in apsc, FF and medium format. Instead I think they will launch FF camera with gfx lenses. It will replace old 50mpix sensor from gfx 50r/s. This would be new entry point to gfx lineup. Give it retro vibe and it will sell well.
In the interview, Toshihisa Iida, general manager of Fujifilm’s optical device and electronic imaging products division, was asked if Fujifilm would enter the full-frame market “now that all of the legacy DSLR makers except Ricoh have full-frame mirrorless systems.” The executive responded in no uncertain terms, saying, “No, never. Because we don’t have that legacy - luckily or unluckily.” Iida, who was speaking at the recent Photokina trade show in Cologne, Germany, added: “We don’t see any point in Fujifilm entering that market, particularly since we have good APS-C and medium-format systems.” The executive said that if Fujifilm launched a full-frame device, its own cameras “would just start cannibalizing each other.” He told DPReview that the company was “happy to stay with two completely independent systems.”
@@mythicboneIt’s an old article from 6 years ago. I understand that companies do change their mind, but I do agree with Iida that Fujifilm will cannibalize on itself if they were to release a full frame sensor camera.
The 40mp sensor on the X-T5 and X-H2 is insanely sharp, i couldn't even imagine anyone saying otherwise. My sharpness is turned down to -4 0n the X-H2.
@svenstreet Some lenses are specifically made for the 40mp sensor, it's a big task to utilize that sensors resolution. It's because the 40mp Aps-c has a pixel density equivalent to a 90mp+ full frame, which doesn't even exist.
I personally believe that if Fuji offered a full frame X100 style camera, it would sell like hot cakes and be a huge commercial success. If I were CEO of Fuji all my efforts would go into bringing that camera to market ASAP. However I don't think they will actually do it because they have stated time and time again they are not interested in competing in the full frame sector. What surprises me the most is that another manufacturer hasn't seized the opportunity to step in to this massive gap in the market at a normal price. The Leica Q series is superb but priced in the niche / luxury category.
Fujifilm should go hard into better Instax, improve their AF and improve their medium format line to the point they’re fast and reliable enough for a professional. Spending a huge amount of money playing catch-up on full frame makes no sense to me.
Sorry tudor… i beg to differ from you on this. Fuji won’t invest in a entire system on a whim… for me, the most probable new sensor will be some new kind of apsc/crop (new to fuji at least), or a fixed lens premium full frame camera, like a x1000 or x200…
I hope it’s a FF sensor. I might switch back if Fuji goes FF. After selling all my Fuji gear for a ZF, I can’t go back to an apsc sensor. The FF sensor shoots way better low light pictures, my ZF sees in the dark. And the 3d pop even at F2 is so good
Imagine a full frame X-Pro 4 omg! Fujifilm have always said they’ll never go into FF but times change. Everyone still using Fuji apc will obviously hate the idea seeing they have invested in the brand, but, you haven’t invested in the new ff (if true) which will be an entirely new entry to Fuji. I have always wanted Fuji to make ff!
@@bobby350z to be honest I moved to Sony 4 years ago after using almost the full line of Fuji including GFX. While I love the GFX, it’s still to slow. However I will always love Fuji but with no FF, I do believe they are missing out. There is a sweet spot with a ff 60mp sensor, but obviously that’s my personal opinion. Fuji still has the best coloring thoigh, so I would love a ff system with updated on par af
9:36 😴🥱🙄😏Spare me…I have been in this biz since 1979, clients couldn’t give a rat’s a**about what camera “looks like” 11:40 Oh, tell that to Kevin Mullins…🤪
Nikon are doing everything Fuji should have done. The Zf is kicking their butts. Plus the focus issues, they are in danger of becoming irrelevant, as I see many people leaving or considering leaving Fuji. They really have to do something to stop them becoming the next Kodak. I think they will release a sensor bigger than full frame but smaller than medium format. But it will probably be a sensor related to a new Instax series.
The only thing that would make sense would be a new X-Pro style rangefinder camera with a FF sensor that would directly compete with the Leica M series at half the price. If that works, they could then launch the FF versions of the X-T and the X-H series, keeping the APS-C for the X100 and the X-S series only. We‘ll see.
They already used basic CMOS versions sensors. Like the A6000 series had. You had the X-E series of cameras and X-A. And X-A had the non X-Trans sensors. Of course it wasn't Fujfilm's little magic so... the E sold better. And that is really the thing, the "fujifilm magic" It is their niche, their thing. It is what they do. Even though yes a basic standard array these days can easily be as good.
I heard elsewhere Fuji will release a MF, fixed-lens camera, harking back to the GW690, plus a half-frame camera aimed at social media aficionados. I can only dream of a Fuji medium-format with a gen.2 x-trans sensor.. The plot thickens 😄👍
Good day Tudor, everybody wants something different...but for my shooting style (primes 20 to 90mm FF), I hope your right. I feel that APSC has reach is limit in sized lens, like M4/3. Maybe this is why Fuji don't have a road lens map anymore, they are slow to bring new and updated lens. I'm really looking to the A7CII right now, rangefinder body with IBIS with the size of X-T50. Except 100VII, Fuji don't have rangefinder camera with IBIS, Sony have it since A6500 in 2016...it's 2024-2025 now. Love my XT-5 and X100V, but APSC don't have an advantage anymore in the size for me, as I don't shoot long with longer lens. For the aperture lens, Sigma have them and the Sony small 24-40-50 f2.5 have them too. For the colours and SOOC jpegs, I heard good thing about the Creatives looks and Pictures profiles/Luts of Sony, maybe not perfect, but could be a fun thing to try.
I almost switched to Sony FF. The problem with the Nikon Zf is the lenses are ugly, big and expensive with QC issues. Sony adds A LOT of built in sharpening to their images. And Adobe doesn't render XTrans images correctly. XTrans images done properly with the right software are actually sharper than bayer sensor images in my experience. If your bayer images are sharper you have to figure out why, something isn't right. DXO does the best job with Fuji files. I'd buy a Fuji FF if they get the mix right. But they will probably do a X100IV with a FF sensor. Then they don't have to invest in a whole lens rollout. I wouldn't buy that.
People are crazy if they actually think Fuji will release a dedicated full frame camera. Especially when their GFX cameras have a “full frame” crop. The GFX is the next step up from their APSC line of cameras. It’s why they’ve been so aggressive in that space.
I think a small MFT Camera with a fixed zoom lens (24-70 or 24-110 f2-f2.8) and a retro design (something like the Leica D-LUX 8) would sell very well and Fuji would have a lot of success with it.
There’s no way Fuji will go into full frame… 1. The market is blood red, competition wise, for full frame, 2. The factual benefits of full frame vs. Apsc are not nearly as large as Sony marketing bs will have you believe, 3. Full frame cameras require a new lens lineup… will not happen, 4. Will cannibalize both the existing X-line of apsc cameras and medium format, 5. Fuji medium format is very affordable compared to full frame high end cameras… in other words… no way… in hell!
So a Gh7 or G9ii are toy cameras in your opinion? Or the GH5 which provided the quality and availability by so many Indy filmmakers needed is a toy camera? Most of the movies you’ve ever seen are not full frame. Every single TV studio camera is a toy for not having an FF sensor? Not too mention RED, Blackmagic, most Arris, Venice… And no I’m not just greedy, I got full frame cameras. So please….
I’ve said it countless times. The EVF/OVF is a game breaker for Fuji. They’ve sat idly on this technology for too long. All they need is a FF X-Pro 4, EVF/OVF with a Leica M mount. If they can make it for less than an M it will be epic. With Leica you have to use a Visoflex or rear screen to help with precise focusing. With the EVF/OVF the visoflex is built in. This new camera will be either in the X-Pro 4 or an X100 type body.
The rumor is that it’s an X-Pan camera with two sensors (maybe 2x M43) I suspect Fujifilm will continue with MF to just get pricing competitive with FF.
There is zero point invest in full frame. Fuji dominates both apsc and budget friendly medium format. The competition is way too stiff in fullframe. why compete with Canon, Nikon, Sony etc and waste money? It would be highly fiscally irresponsible of them to do so. Fuji does not have sony or canon money to waste on suicide missions
Are the monochrome pictures shot as monochrome jpegs or are they "standard" (colour)photographs and processed in the post? Paul Reid says, that real monochrome photography requiers a Leica Q2 because of its excellent dynamic range.
Editing from my raw colored files. It depends, the monochrome sensor will be harder to edit because you can't apply color editing techniques for black and white editing - it's limiting you a lot in post-processing, and in shooting scenarios you may need to use yellow, and red filters to enhance contrast. In digital editing, you can control the luminosity of each color channel. But I do agree that the Leica Q2 monochrome shines :D Ah, and some are with my Fuji recipes: tudormateescu.com/fujifilm-recipes-by-tudor-mateescu/#Fujifilm_Recipe_Black_And_White_%E2%80%93_Loaded_M6
Fuji is more likely to release FF lenses for a future MF camera that’s priced very closely to FF like the GFX 100S II already is. Fujifilm is even more likely to embrace AI tech for in-camera use that will out resolve FF. The problem is that there are too many alternatives to FF and Fujifilm has been actively berating FF for too many years for them to consider it.
Condivido Speriamo con il nuovo anno sarebbe il massimo se avesse l'attacco della APSC cosi da poter uyilizzare gli stessi obbiettivi cosa ne pensi 👋👋.
I'm not implying this. I was thinking at INSTAX PAL and that they will launch the successor of XM1 for beginners instead of XPRO4. So who knows how low they can go with a smaller senzor 😁
@@Tudor_Mateescu Sorry, then I misunderstood you. However I also have to say that I don't see any possibility, neither need, for Fuji to go into the 35mm format. There is too much competition, while in APS-C and medium format it has been becoming the dominator in both segments.
Too expensive to develop a new sensor and entirely new lens set, probably with a whole new mount too. It requires a new autofocus system too. Fujifilm is a small company with limited resources. I like the idea but GFX = Fuji's "full frame".
One rumor that I read for the new camera with a "different sensor" was to reintroduce the old film era Fujifilm T-X1 panoramic with a digital sensor. Who knows? I've stopped trying to guess. But, it doesn't matter. Why? Because Fujifilm has not been able to supply product to meet demand for years now. A new camera will just be another "did not anticipate the demand..." press release statement and people will be frustrated. I've shot Fujifilm for 6 or 7 years with six bodies and a dozen XF lenses, but could not buy the cameras that I wanted. Those cameras were replaced by new models and now you can't buy those without a long wait. Fujifilm lost my buisness because they can't sell me the products in their catalog. I'll be going back to Nikon and get the cameras and lenses immediately.
Its already confirmed at fuji rumor that the new sensor camera is not the panoramic camera (the panoramic camera is still coming though but its a different camera than the one speculated here)
Sorry - I disagree. I like that "organic look", specially with newer converters like LR current version or even more: DXO there is no sharpness issue. The Bayer sensors produce an unnaturally sharp look.
FF for Fuji IMHO doesn’t make any sense at all. Clickbait with a attention-drawing title and some advertising for the - nonetheless great - Fuji-Systems. I know several photographers who make a living with X-Cameras in APSC and would not change to FF. it’s not necessary either. “Professional photographers do not want smaller packages?” Seems like you don’t know too many wedding photographers. For decent wedding photography a small package providing great quality is all.
Only thing i Know is that Fuji NEED only One Mount. Like Sony, Nikon and Canon. No more two mounts nonsense. You can update the GFX mount to be the smaller possible and with the shorter flange distance possible, even smaller and shorter flange distance than XCD mount. With that mount Fuji would be in the Nikon Z territory, milimeter more or less. You can use that mount for APSC, FF and MF (44x33mm). And Fuji X and GFX lenses would be fully adaptable to the new mount.
Well, according to another you tube video I just watched, they are doing a ‘half-frame’ portrait orientation. Yup, they are willing to put effort into a “half-frame” for all the current social media content creators. But, not a Full Frame to pull some users from Sony or Canon. I want a full frame with Fuji Film film sims. I want the awesome Fuji Film Simulations on SOC images. No having to mess with software editing. But nope, still no Full Frame. 😢
You don't buy a Fuji for sharpness, you buy it for the way it renders the image. No-one other than photographers care about how sharp an image is, especially in portraiture. No-one wants to see the details of every wrinkle, every pore, every scar. If you want clinical accuracy or you are cataloguing for a museum etc. you don't buy a Fuji X (you'd not by a Sony either if you have a budget you'd be shooting medium format) I don't mean to offend anyone, but there are 2 types of people that take photographs, Photographers who see the camera as a tool to make their art, and Photographers that want to record detail exactly as it is. If you are the later, you probably wont buy a Fuji as there are better options. I don't see Fuji releasing an interchangeable lens Full frame camera, I can't see how it makes any business sense, If it is not an X-Trans sensor, then it is just another Exactly the same sensor found in Sony, Nikon etc cameras and Fuji falls behind on Autofocus etc so wont stand out. If they release a Full frame Fixed lens camera, it'll either compete with the X100 series, or Leica Q3. Maybe they are looking at the compact camera market and seeing it abandoned... maybe Fuji have decided to make a Super zoom1" sensor camera, Panasonic and Sony have not released anything in years, and would give Fuji what Panasonic (rebranded by Leica) used to have the LX100 M43 sensor and the FZ1000/2000 a 1" sensor super zoom. a "large" sensor compact in the X100 and a 1" Bridge camera (I remember back in 2012? Fuji had the X-S1 a Super zoom bridge camera based on a 2/3 sensor).
There is zero point to invest in full frame. Fuji dominates both apsc and budget friendly medium format. The competition is way too stiff in fullframe. why compete with Canon, Nikon, Sony etc and waste money? It would be highly fiscally irresponsible of them to do so. Fuji does not have sony or canon money to waste on suicide missions

Gfx50r ii is being launched and it will be a small body with a stacked sensor ❤

hi Tudor, it would be nice to get a full frame Fuji but what about the lenses? Do the APSC lenses fit Fullfeame? if not, they need to be developed...

Fuji should fix autofocus first, because it sucks.

People are crazy if they actually think Fuji will release a dedicated full frame camera. Especially when their GFX cameras have a “full frame” crop. The GFX is the next step up from their APSC line of cameras. It’s why they’ve been so aggressive in that space.
I think a small MFT Camera with a fixed zoom lens (24-70 or 24-110 f2-f2.8) and a retro design (something like the Leica D-LUX 8) would sell very well and Fuji would have a lot of success with it.
That's concept of fuji's old X30
It would be nice 👍
There’s no way Fuji will go into full frame… 1. The market is blood red, competition wise, for full frame, 2. The factual benefits of full frame vs. Apsc are not nearly as large as Sony marketing bs will have you believe, 3. Full frame cameras require a new lens lineup… will not happen, 4. Will cannibalize both the existing X-line of apsc cameras and medium format, 5. Fuji medium format is very affordable compared to full frame high end cameras… in other words… no way… in hell!
It will be a Full Frame with fixed lens. Like a Leica Q or like an Xpro.
No way! Fuji developed already a new ANALOG-CAMERA :)
I love the way he says sensor.
Why not go for full-frame with E mount? Lotsa Zeiss lenses there. I would be in the game.
The lenses you mentioned on the video are not that great. You might want to check out the 33 mm and the 90 mm F2. They are sharp.👌
Maybe it’s an x40 with a larger, custom size sensor
New full frame camera is one thing. But the more important thing is Lens. Fuji fans will not only buy the new FF camera but new FF lenses too.
Well yes but fujifilm has to make this whole lens line-up which will take many years and a lot of money for very little gain.
Great… and i just bought a XT5 lol.
(But im still happy with my decision though, i dont like lugging around heavy full frame gears and lenses)
So a Gh7 or G9ii are toy cameras in your opinion? Or the GH5 which provided the quality and availability by so many Indy filmmakers needed is a toy camera? Most of the movies you’ve ever seen are not full frame. Every single TV studio camera is a toy for not having an FF sensor? Not too mention RED, Blackmagic, most Arris, Venice…
And no I’m not just greedy, I got full frame cameras.
So please….
I’ve said it countless times. The EVF/OVF is a game breaker for Fuji. They’ve sat idly on this technology for too long. All they need is a FF X-Pro 4, EVF/OVF with a Leica M mount. If they can make it for less than an M it will be epic. With Leica you have to use a Visoflex or rear screen to help with precise focusing. With the EVF/OVF the visoflex is built in. This new camera will be either in the X-Pro 4 or an X100 type body.
The rumor is that it’s an X-Pan camera with two sensors (maybe 2x M43)
I suspect Fujifilm will continue with MF to just get pricing competitive with FF.
if Fujifil launches a FF line, it wont canibalize, FF is more expensive and heavy, today, fuji users that want FF are migrating to other brands.
Y para que?,sino tiene ninguna lente full frame
Fuji is selling APSC cameras for crazy prices (yes they are great) and are sold out... They don't need to change strategy..
There is no need to break down! Next will definitely be FF ;)
Agree time fuji moved to full frame if they want to move up the game
I want something the size of Canon g7x or g5x , compact and weather sealed
There is zero point invest in full frame. Fuji dominates both apsc and budget friendly medium format. The competition is way too stiff in fullframe. why compete with Canon, Nikon, Sony etc and waste money? It would be highly fiscally irresponsible of them to do so. Fuji does not have sony or canon money to waste on suicide missions
Please do something with your background music
Are the monochrome pictures shot as monochrome jpegs or are they "standard" (colour)photographs and processed in the post? Paul Reid says, that real monochrome photography requiers a Leica Q2 because of its excellent dynamic range.
Editing from my raw colored files. It depends, the monochrome sensor will be harder to edit because you can't apply color editing techniques for black and white editing - it's limiting you a lot in post-processing, and in shooting scenarios you may need to use yellow, and red filters to enhance contrast. In digital editing, you can control the luminosity of each color channel. But I do agree that the Leica Q2 monochrome shines :D
Ah, and some are with my Fuji recipes: tudormateescu.com/fujifilm-recipes-by-tudor-mateescu/#Fujifilm_Recipe_Black_And_White_%E2%80%93_Loaded_M6
Fuji is more likely to release FF lenses for a future MF camera that’s priced very closely to FF like the GFX 100S II already is.
Fujifilm is even more likely to embrace AI tech for in-camera use that will out resolve FF. The problem is that there are too many alternatives to FF and Fujifilm has been actively berating FF for too many years for them to consider it.
it will be a GFX fixed lens
Condivido Speriamo con il nuovo anno sarebbe il massimo se avesse l'attacco della APSC cosi da poter uyilizzare gli stessi obbiettivi cosa ne pensi 👋👋.
m4/3 toys cameras...? for beginners...? My Good!
I'm not implying this. I was thinking at INSTAX PAL and that they will launch the successor of XM1 for beginners instead of XPRO4. So who knows how low they can go with a smaller senzor 😁
That's what I thought. Total bullshit.
@@Tudor_Mateescu Sorry, then I misunderstood you.
However I also have to say that I don't see any possibility, neither need, for Fuji to go into the 35mm format. There is too much competition, while in APS-C and medium format it has been becoming the dominator in both segments.
Too expensive to develop a new sensor and entirely new lens set, probably with a whole new mount too. It requires a new autofocus system too. Fujifilm is a small company with limited resources. I like the idea but GFX = Fuji's "full frame".
X-M5 is coming!
One rumor that I read for the new camera with a "different sensor" was to reintroduce the old film era Fujifilm T-X1 panoramic with a digital sensor. Who knows? I've stopped trying to guess.
But, it doesn't matter. Why? Because Fujifilm has not been able to supply product to meet demand for years now. A new camera will just be another "did not anticipate the demand..." press release statement and people will be frustrated.
I've shot Fujifilm for 6 or 7 years with six bodies and a dozen XF lenses, but could not buy the cameras that I wanted. Those cameras were replaced by new models and now you can't buy those without a long wait.
Fujifilm lost my buisness because they can't sell me the products in their catalog. I'll be going back to Nikon and get the cameras and lenses immediately.
Its already confirmed at fuji rumor that the new sensor camera is not the panoramic camera (the panoramic camera is still coming though but its a different camera than the one speculated here)
Sorry - I disagree. I like that "organic look", specially with newer converters like LR current version or even more: DXO there is no sharpness issue. The Bayer sensors produce an unnaturally sharp look.
Not happening...lenses...
Will they designa,whole set of lenses....yeah nah
autofocus, autofocus, autofocus
FF for Fuji IMHO doesn’t make any sense at all. Clickbait with a attention-drawing title and some advertising for the - nonetheless great - Fuji-Systems. I know several photographers who make a living with X-Cameras in APSC and would not change to FF. it’s not necessary either.
“Professional photographers do not want smaller packages?” Seems like you don’t know too many wedding photographers. For decent wedding photography a small package providing great quality is all.
Only thing i Know is that Fuji NEED only One Mount. Like Sony, Nikon and Canon. No more two mounts nonsense. You can update the GFX mount to be the smaller possible and with the shorter flange distance possible, even smaller and shorter flange distance than XCD mount. With that mount Fuji would be in the Nikon Z territory, milimeter more or less. You can use that mount for APSC, FF and MF (44x33mm). And Fuji X and GFX lenses would be fully adaptable to the new mount.
Yes! 💯
There's so much AI trash clogging up RUclips, if I see a an AI thumbnail in my YT feed, I'm telling YT to never show me that channel again.
So you work with your best friend RUclips AI 😅
Fujifilm has medium format why would they go full frame
Because medium format it's not for everybody - big lenses, expensive, bad AF, limitations. Full frame is the sweet spot 👍
Full frame with zero lens...umm.. no. Its not going to happen
They will not make a full frame, sorry. They have to make new lenses for the system.
Well, according to another you tube video I just watched, they are doing a ‘half-frame’ portrait orientation. Yup, they are willing to put effort into a “half-frame” for all the current social media content creators. But, not a Full Frame to pull some users from Sony or Canon. I want a full frame with Fuji Film film sims. I want the awesome Fuji Film Simulations on SOC images. No having to mess with software editing. But nope, still no Full Frame. 😢
You don't buy a Fuji for sharpness, you buy it for the way it renders the image.
No-one other than photographers care about how sharp an image is, especially in portraiture.
No-one wants to see the details of every wrinkle, every pore, every scar.
If you want clinical accuracy or you are cataloguing for a museum etc. you don't buy a Fuji X (you'd not by a Sony either if you have a budget you'd be shooting medium format)
I don't mean to offend anyone, but there are 2 types of people that take photographs, Photographers who see the camera as a tool to make their art, and Photographers that want to record detail exactly as it is. If you are the later, you probably wont buy a Fuji as there are better options.
I don't see Fuji releasing an interchangeable lens Full frame camera, I can't see how it makes any business sense, If it is not an X-Trans sensor, then it is just another Exactly the same sensor found in Sony, Nikon etc cameras and Fuji falls behind on Autofocus etc so wont stand out.
If they release a Full frame Fixed lens camera, it'll either compete with the X100 series, or Leica Q3.
Maybe they are looking at the compact camera market and seeing it abandoned... maybe Fuji have decided to make a Super zoom1" sensor camera, Panasonic and Sony have not released anything in years, and would give Fuji what Panasonic (rebranded by Leica) used to have the LX100 M43 sensor and the FZ1000/2000 a 1" sensor super zoom. a "large" sensor compact in the X100 and a 1" Bridge camera (I remember back in 2012? Fuji had the X-S1 a Super zoom bridge camera based on a 2/3 sensor).
Not going to happen. Besides the x100 series they are struggling and plagued with issues.
All this hype with further disappointment from Fuji
There is zero point to invest in full frame. Fuji dominates both apsc and budget friendly medium format. The competition is way too stiff in fullframe. why compete with Canon, Nikon, Sony etc and waste money? It would be highly fiscally irresponsible of them to do so.
