Rumors of GFX100 replacement in 2023

I was asking for 150-200 MP for the next model. But that's not the, um, focus, of the answer above.

Hi,

Ha, ha! Focus. Funny!😄

I'm still trying to have the cash for the 100 MP BSI we already got....

How did you insert the emoji? Using :-) just comes out as... :-)

Hi,

That reply was from Mr Droid phone. It has all these silly things as part of a shift on the virtual keyboard.

Lesse if others make it....

😁😉🙃😄🤪 Even 💩

Edit: yep. I added six and I can see them all. Even the last one: Mr Poo. Ha!

I found this list of smileys tl.net/forum/smilies.php but having tried a few in this post, doesn't seem to work.

:uh: :) :( :sleep: :boring:

Another page has the codes in square brackets. Doesn't work either.

Found a work around for Ubuntu. There is an app called Characters full of emojis I can copy and paste into posts. It works.

On Windows 10 and 11, hit the window key and the period key simultaneously.

Porsche and Leica are good at designing objects of lust. Fuji has done that, to some degree, with the X100V, which is selling for well over $2,000 on the secondary market. Maybe they can take a cue from that.

The X-H2 sensor has a pixel pitch of 3.05um, so north of 150 MP in 33x44mm. Presumably the supply is there if someone wants the chip. The astro/scientific camera makers may be the first to use the tech on bigger chips. The costs of complements for astrophotography, mounts and ‘scopes, etc., are pretty high so there seems to be a decent market for pricey astro cameras.

Yes, used to do that when I had a work laptop. According to some article I found on the web, ctrl + . should work with Ubuntu, too. And guess what, it does within the text editor and similar native apps (as does right click/insert emoji). Doesn't work in the forum, however. Fortunately the Characters applet saves the day, even if takes 3 clicks to insert the smiley.

Yeah, the current stacked sensor is the one I think they will use but cut larger so it meets current Gfx sensor size dimensions.

Why go with the want the bigger gfx100 body. Maybe the body give Fuji the ability to add cooling and larger or secondary cpu. With an intelligence possibilities you can shoot the moon at any speed like an Samsung…. Also wonder by using their current stacked sensors in a larger body, will you can have both “sport” speeds and 156mb image options. The choice maybe is done with the “flip of a switch” to choose sport or image size mode.

As for bespoke sensors, had Fujifilm ever gone this route and which firms are going with bespoke sensors?

Looking forward to the announcement and wondering what surprises are in store. Most of us considered the gfx100 dead so I am intrigued as to why they feel going big is the future.

Raw histogram and in-camera frame averaging.

Don't know about Fuji, but Nikon has a long history of using bespoke sensors in some of their cameras.

There is the Fuji X-Trans…

I think that's just a case of bespoke CFA, but I could be wrong.

so far nobody has 26mp stacked APS-C sensor or 40mp APS-C sensor ... each company except probably Ricoh / Pentax has few sensors that nobody else has ( in most cases manufactured by Sony Semiconductor of course )

More semi-bespoke, perhaps. Harder and harder to get a pure bespoke sensor, I would think.

Higher resolution has always meant larger print sizes.

This sensor has been rumoured for six years, so I will believe it when I see it.

If it comes out it will compete with the other 40mm x 53mm sensors, like in the Phase One and Hasselblad cameras.

If Fuji chooses to use it they will need another camera and lens system to utilize it. They would likely provide a crop format to use GFX lenses. Let's see...GFZ? In the film days Fuji produced at least three different sized medium format cameras, so an additional Fuji format is possible.

I should have been more specific. Who is actually producing larger prints and for what purpose? For instance, I have read the fashion industry uses the high mp cameras. Who else?

We have moved to primarily electronic media to display things, most often at only moderately high resolution. Unless you are zooming in, a 2k or 4k display really does not take advantage of all those extra pixels.

Hence the rise of the cell phone as a camera replacement.
