Fuji XG vs Sony-Nikon-Panasonic-Canon FF comparison. Fuji I will hate you forever if you don’t make this cam!

Fujirumors.com made these size comparisons between the Fuji XG prototype model and the current Full Frame mirrorless competition.

But this post is just an excuse for me to rant over Fuji’s decision to NOT produce the XG. Dpreview guessed that the reason why Fuji doesn’t want to make this camera is because it looks like the X-T3. But for me that’s EXCACTLY the reason why they have to do it:
– The X-T line is the most popular line
– The X-T also has the best usable camera design. Why not keep doing what’s successful?

Do it Fuji!

New E-mount lenses coming: Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8, Tokina 100mm f/2.8 and Sony 135mm f/1.8 GM

Today Tamron announced the new 17-28mm f/2.8 FE lens (here at BHphoto). This is a very nice addition althaugh I hopes to get a new 70-200mm f/2.8 lens too. But there is more to come the next couple of days:

Tokina will soon announce the new 100mm f/2.8 macro FE
Sony will soon announce the new 135mm f/1.8 GM

There seems to be no new Sony camera announcement coming any time soon. And from what’s reported on SAR the Sony A7sIII is also not coming during the first half of the year…

 

These are all the Fuji GFX prototypes. Damn you Fuji for not making the GFX version of the X-T3 :)

Dpreview published the images of three different GFX prototypes:

1) The modular concept named “Omega”:

2) The X-T3 styled concept named “Gamma”:

3) Another ssimplier XT design alike camera:

4) And the “SP-X” camera without EVF:

 

Which GFX prototype do you like most?

My personal note: Damn you Fuji for not making the X-T3 styled GFX camera. This is my dream camera!
