Sony-Canon-Nikon step aside…the Big guys are coming: Fuji to announce the GFX-50r and GFX-100s at Photokina!

On the Internet you keep reading Full Frame lovers beating hard on the smaller size APS-C and MFT cameras. Well now we can pay them back and hit them where it hurts most…sensor size! That small FF sensor never had a real future :)

Fuji is not only going to announce the cheapest medium format ever…the GFX-50R for $4,500. But they will also announce the development of the new GFX-100s. The latter camera will be use the new BSI Sony sensor that has much better autofocus performance and dynamic range. This should be a killer camera. I just hope it will not be too expensive!

Both new medium format cameras will be announced on September 25 according to Fujirumors.

The new Panasonic FF will have a Panasonic designed High Resolution sensor

Little is known about the new Panasonic FF system. All 43rumors has learned yet from trusted sources is that it will be announced on September 25 and be available in March 2019. But the most important is this:

The Panasonic FF will have a Panasonic designed sensor with way more than the previously rumored 30 Megapixels. I guess we can expect something close to 50 Megapixels.

I am sure Panasonic will not cripple this camera in any way. I expect it to have dual slot, fully articulatied screen, 4K with no crop and so forth…
