Fuji says the GFX sales are “overwhelming”

The Japanese website phileweb published an interview with Fujifilm managers. And they made it clear that the GFX sales are unexpectedly high. A full translated summary can be released on Fujirumors.

I wonder if some of the other companies will ever try to launch a medium format system too. I guess Sony-Canon-Nikon are too busy fighting each other in the FF realm…
