Fujifilm fair correct announced its cheapest medium layout camera but

This present day is Fujifilm’s September X Summit event, and the company has announced a slew of new hardware including several cameras and lenses for every the GFX and X programs. Main the kind is the brand new GFX 50S II, the company’s latest medium layout camera. Extra importantly, at $3,999 physique-easiest, it’s Fujifilm’s cheapest manner into the GFX machine but. For comparison, the GFX 100S costs $5,999 and the GFX 50S aloof goes for $5,499. So losing beneath $4,000 would possibly maybe perchance perchance mean expansive issues for the lineup.

The GFX 50S II has a 51.4-megapixel sensor that’s 1.7x higher than what you’d fetch in a stout-frame camera, 5-axis in-physique image stabilization suitable for 6.5 stops, improved autofocus (when put next to the 50S), and a physique that’s the identical dimension as the GFX 100S. At 1.98 kilos, that’s barely compact for the total developed pictures energy it wields.

With the inclusion of IBIS, Fujifilm says the GFX 50S II “items new alternatives in the kind faded medium layout digital cameras are aged” on myth of you’ve got more leeway to shoot with it handheld barely than largely maintaining it mounted to a tripod. Nonetheless, one tradeoff with this sensor is that it depends on distinction-detection autofocus barely than the more succesful section-detect manner on the GFX 100S and hundreds other Fujifilm cameras.

For the rationale that physique type carefully fits the GFX 100S, the identical is correct of the camera’s dials and controls, which would maybe be on the total identical between the two. Carried over is the DSLR-type PASM dial, as effectively as a 1.8-high-tail monochrome model on the tip plate that can even be aged for other settings and to model your chosen parameters. The foremost 3.2-high-tail LCD tilts in three directions for excessive- and low-angle shooting.

The GFX 50S II presents 19 of Fujifilm’s film simulations, including the “nostalgic neg” that debuted on the GFX 100S, and a “Pixel Shift Multi Shot” mode that combines 16 RAW photos into an extremely-excessive-res 200MP DNG file. Fujifilm will furthermore sell the camera as a kit with the GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 WR lens for $4,499. It’s anticipated to be accessible in late October.

Fujifilm is furthermore introducing the brand new X-T30 II, which is a no doubt modest update over the common that largely brings the aid of as much as this level firmware and machine facets. It furthermore beneficial properties additional reminiscence (for improved efficiency) and a bigger-decision 1.68-million-dot LCD when put next to the 1.04M-dot X-T30. It aloof makes use of the identical 26.4-megapixel X-Trans CMOS sensor — and no, it doesn’t toss in IBIS or one thing unexpected. Again, the greatest make stronger is that the X-T30 II shall be brought as much as the designate on firmware and film simulations. Fujifilm didn’t even difficulty issuing a standalone press start for this camera. The X-T30 II shall be sold sans battery charger for $899 physique-easiest.

As for the company’s latest glass, the brand new lenses embody the aforementioned GF 35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 WR, which Fujifilm describes as “the correct gateway” into the ingredient, depth of field, and other advantages of its medium layout cameras. It’s coming in November for $999.95.

However the X Series furthermore has some bright lens additions: Fujifilm has announced two new f/1.4 primes. The XF33mm R LM WR has a climate-resistant ticket, and the company says it “ushers in a brand new technology of optical brilliance and efficiency for X Series cameras and lenses.” Since it’s resembling 50mm in the 35mm film layout, Fujifilm thinks right here’s a most spicy all-around lens. The 15-ingredient lens measures 2.89 inches and weighs 13 ounches. It’s coming in October for $799.95.

Not to be skipped over is the XF23mm R LM WR: this climate-resistant lens is being positioned as “suited to discerning aspect twin carriageway, marriage ceremony, editorial, and documentary photographers.” It has now has a nearer minimal focal level distance of 19 centimeters, as effectively. Curiously, Fujifilm says this one is “designed to toughen anticipated future camera sensors that provide additional enhanced decision.” Particularly, it’ll unravel sensors as much as 40 megapixels. It’ll be accessible in November for $899.
