¿ El Sr.Fuji jura y perjura en una entrevista que nunca, nunca, nunca jamás pasarán al FF ?

– la solapa del Sr.Fuji –

Y yo digo:

• ¿ Para que van a pasar con las bofetadas que hay ahora ahí ?
• ¿ Para que van a pasar si hace tiempo que ya lo dejaron atrás con el sistema GFX ?

Sin contar con Hassel, que no acaba de levantar el vuelo por muy dueño suyo que sea el Sr.DJI, están “solos” en el Formato Medio y pienso que les va bien.

Bueno, en realidad en la entrevista dicen muchas más cosas, pero las tendréis que leer vosotros porque yo, como siempre, voy muy “pillao” de tiempo.

La entrevista es con el Sr.Toshihisa Iida, que se declara General Manager of Fujifilm’s Optical Device and Electronic Imaging Products Division

Nota tonta: yo le hubiera preguntado por qué les ha salido tan fea y “ladrillosa” la GFX 100S. Tiene que haber una razón, pero a este pequeño saltamontes no se le alcanza. (Ver la otra nota tonta al final).

Por cierto, picosegundos después veo que en Fuji Rumors hacen un recopilatorio de lo más importante, cosa que es muy de agradecer. Hételo aquí:

• Not many photographers are moving from X series APS-C cameras to Fujifilm Medium Format at this time, most are coming from other full-frame systems.
• When they announced the Fujifilm GFX50S they Fujifilm had a lot of requests for a rangefinder style camera, which is why the Fujifilm GFX50R was developed.
• Fujifilm GFX50R is designed for one hand usage and is best for street, reportage and portrait photography.
• The Fujifilm GFX100S is more SLR like and will have a detachable viewfinder like the GFX50S, but it will have an integrated battery grip for more capacity to support the images stabilization system that needs more power.
• GF lenses were designed for a 100MP sensor because they always planned to make the leap when the sensor became available.
• Designing an IBIS system for a 100MP medium format sensor was a challenge that had to be overcome too.
• Fujifilm used their knowledge from the Fujifilm X-H1 to help design the Fujifilm GFX100S IBIS system.
• The Fujifilm GFX100S EVF will be a big step up over the GFX50S because the sensor readout speed is very fast and the new X Processor 4 is very powerful.
• Fujifilm is putting a lot of effort into developing video capabilities and they hope to attract videographers/cinematographers to the GFX with features like the first medium format camera to shoot 4K/30p.
• Developing cine lenses for the GFX is technically possible, but not a priority at this time.
• Many videographers contacted Fujifilm after the announcement fo the Fujifilm GFX100S because they are looking for something more to stand out.
• SD media and HDMI output are enough for now and can support the GFX100S just fine.
• Fujifilm doesn’t allow open development for their mounts yet, but they might in the future.
• There will be more compact GFX lenses coming in the future.
• Fujifilm watches the whole market including cell phones when designing cameras because they do not want their entry-level cameras cannibalized by cell phones.
• Cell phones are their biggest competitors and not other manufacturers.
• Fujifilm might have to develop a new camera to satisfy cell phone shooters. (Maybe a Zeiss ZX1 type camera).
• They might make an interchangeable lens instax – see also this related post:

Esta es la otra nota tonta: por lo visto el sensor y el sistema de estabilización consumen tanto que hace falta todo ese monstruoso cajón para alojar la superbatería capaz de alimentar el sensor y los motores diesel para moverlo y estabilizarlo.
