Billy Luong and Makoto Oishi of Fuji: “future smaller GFX body is possible”
Luminous Landscape interviewed Billy Luong and Makoto Oishi of Fuji. Here are some key info:
- The focal plane shutter design allows the GFX to be expandable. So the current lenses, whatever sensor technology comes down the road, will still be capable and that’s one of the key benefits of going with the focal plane shutter
- Fujifilm is already talking with Adobe for support and that adapters are possible, even for leaf shutter lenses, made by Fujifilm or third-party manufacturers.
- In future Fuji may also smaller GFX bodies
Fuji to announce two more new cameras after the X-A10: The X100F and the X-T20
The X-A10 which got leaked yesterday is expected to be announced next week. But here we are with another hint about the future Fuji cameras. Fuji registered two new models in China (Miit). Usually this means we can expect these to be announced within the next two months. My guess is we will see them at CP+ in early January. Fujirumors long rumored that Fuji will announce a X100F and X-T20 in early 2017.

Take the rumor with caution but Fujirumors today reported the GFX may cost a bit less than expected. Body + lens + EVF will ship for $8,000 in USA. That for sure would be a way cheaper alternative of the Hasselblad X1D which sells for $9,000 body only.
