Fuji interview at Dpreview. Says “80% of GFX users are non-professional”

Dpreview interviewed three Fuji managers. There are many topics in this interview but I am going to highlight too

Fuji GFX:
– Overall, GFX sales have exceeded our predictions.
– 80% of users are non-professional, and 20% are professional. That was a surprise.

Fuji and video:
– Fuji wants to move more into the high-end video world

I am really surprised to hear 80% of the current GFX owners are amateurs. This is an expensive camera and I didn’t think so many non-professionals would buy that camera. And we know from previous rumors that they will launch two new GFX cameras within the next 12 months:

1) A new rangefinder styled GFX camera with he same 50MP sensor will be announced at Photokina. It should be priced just below $5,000
2) A new 100 megapixel GFX camera will be announced at Photokina in may 2019. This one should cost around $10,000.

Let’s see how those two new cameras will sell. That 100 megapixel camera sounds promising also because it has a BSI sensor and on sensor phase detection pixels.
