Two new Fuji cameras coming in early 2021: Fuji X-E4 and new GFX!
Fujirumors is sure there will be two new cameras right at the start of the year:
- The Fuji X-E4 (article here).
- a 102 Megapixel GFX camera that is much smaller than the current GFX100 (article here).
Canon officially released the new 250 megapixel APS-H sensor
Canon Japan officially confirmed the market launch of this new sensor in late October. The 250MP APS-H sensor will be available in botho colo and monochrome versions.
And this is the google translated press text:
Main features
The new product is an ultra-high resolution CMOS sensor with approximately 250 million pixels, which enables you to capture detailed information in an image while shooting a wide range. In addition, by setting the pitch of one pixel to 1.5 μm (micrometer), we have achieved approximately 250 million pixels in APS-H size, making it possible to use it for various purposes. It can be used for various purposes such as FPD (flat panel display) inspection, which has become higher definition due to the development of 4K / 8K video technology, industrial inspection, video production, digital archive, wide area surveillance, microscope, etc. Meet the needs of users.
Get detailed information even in a wide range of shooting with ultra-high resolution of about 250 million pixels
The new product is capable of imaging at ultra-high resolution of about 250 million pixels, which is about 125 times that of full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) and about 30 times that of 4K (3,840 x 2,160 pixels), and can be taken in any shooting range. Sufficient resolution can be obtained by trimming the area and enlarging it with an electronic zoom.
Achieves ultra-high-speed signal reading of approximately 1.25 billion pixels / second
With CMOS sensors, the amount of signal increases as the number of pixels increases, causing signal delays and slight timing deviations. The new product has an ultra-multi-pixel structure of approximately 250 million pixels, but by refining the circuit and advancing signal processing technology, it has achieved an ultra-high-speed signal readout of approximately 1.25 billion pixels per second. This enables ultra-high resolution imaging at a speed of approximately 5 frames / sec even when all pixels are read out.
Supports data output according to user needs with “ROI read function” etc.
The new product is equipped with a “ROI (Region of Interest) read function” that selectively reads only an arbitrary area. If you want to read only a specific area at high speed, you can use the “ROI read function” at 24 fps for 8K (7,680 x 4,320 pixels), 30 fps for 4K (3,840 x 2,160), and 60 fps for full HD (1,920 x 1,080). Video recording is possible. It also has a “thinning out reading function * ” that thins out the entire image area in the vertical direction to read out, so you can select the data output method that suits your needs.
- *
4 patterns of thinning are possible. 1/3 is about 15fps, 1/5 is about 25fps, 1/7 is about 35fps, and 1/9 is about 45fps.
Leica will soon announce the new M10-P “Reporter” edition and M10-P “Black Paint” version
Leica has two more special M10-P versions coming soon:
- Limited edition M10-P “Reporter” (leaked image above)
- M10-P “Black Paint” version

On November 7 Ricoh will announce a new “prototype camera”
Ricoh Japan is teasing the unveiling of a new “prototype camera” on November 7. No idea yet what this might be…
New Nikon patent discloses and impressive 10-22mm f/2.8 Z lens!
Canon shows that a way to make your mirrorless ecosystem look attractive is to offer something unique. And this is what Nikon wants to achieve with the newly patented 10-22mm f/2.8 Full Frame Z lens!
We can’t be sure yet this lens will make it into real production. But currently there is nothing like this in the world and I think Nikon has to make it for real.
The patent describes four variations of the lens:
