First official sketches of the new FujiFilm camera with 1 inch vertical sensor!

Fujirumors has discovered the official FCC registration of the new Fujifilm camera with vertical sensor. Based on the sketches, I created an AI image of the camera (see video above). This camera is made for the young people who create vertical content for TikTok and Instagram.

The camera will be announced in 2025 and feature a 1 inch sensor aligned vertically. I bet this camera will sell hot!

Canon says they will not make a High-Resolution Version of the Canon R1

PetaPixel had a short chat with Canon manager Go Tokura. He made it clear that there is no high resolution version of the Canon R1 on their roadmap:

“We consider the flagship to basically be at the pinnacle of our lineup, which means we’re not going to have two flagship models because we’ve basically put everything that we have — the best performance and the best trust — into the EOS R1. So I would say that we would probably never consider developing another model using the same body as the EOS R1.

For example, if we have higher resolution, then we know that that will skew the balance and the sensitivity will be lower. That is a physical mechanism. So in a flagship, we would never focus on just one aspect of the performance that would destroy the balance. I believe our current strategy is to have the 5-series be responsible for the high resolution quality

First leaked Fujifilm GFX100RF image: The world’s first digital fixed lens medium format camera with two innovative features!

Finally we can see the first image of the upcoming new FujiFuilm GFX100RF. Here are the specs:

  • 102MP sensor of the GFX100
  • World’s first camera with: Aspect ratio dial
  • World’s first crop lever (in front of camera, not seen on this image)
  • combined ISO/Shutter Dial
  • about 5K USD Price. That’s more than $1,000 less than the Leica Q3.
  • More compact than the Q3 when it comes to the thickness because of the more compact lens.
  • The lens is 35mm f/4.0. It’s near pancake and unlike the Q3 this makes it possible to fit it into a jacket.
  • It has no IBIS, but this was made to keep the camera thin (and again save costs)
  • a little bit taller than X-Pro3
  • EVF Only (no hybrid)…again for size and cost reasons
  • black and silver color
  • announcement March 20

And you think this will be another Winner for Fujifilm?
