FujiCast 167 Part 2 Interview With Marketing Manager Andreas Georghiade, R&D, X-S10, GFX100S, and More

4 years ago

Fujicast is back again with part two of their interview with Manager Andreas Georghiades, which is a shorter interview, but you can read the key points below. You can also listen to part one here and read the longer summary.

Ask Andreas Summary:

The Fujifilm X-S10 was more expensive at launch than the X-T3 because it was new and X-T3 was on sale since it was an older camera

Fujifilm believes there are three people that use their cameras, photographers that like SLRs, photographers that like Rangefinders, and hybrid shooters

Right now photographers that want a DSLR style camera that isn’t Full Frame really only have Fujifilm as an option, which is who the X-S10 targets

Some photographers find all the dials and buttons on Fujifilm cameras intimidating

Also, m43 hasn’t been developed enough to draw in DSLR photographers

Fujifilm is making cameras that aren’t for Fujifilm fans they are for DSLR users to move over to Fujifilm

If you’re a DSLR shooter that wants a smaller more portable kit the competition isn’t catering to you

No idea about an Instax wide printer, but Andrea would love to have one

Fujifilm gets input from a variety of sources about what they want to see in a camera

Sometimes compromises need to be made like shrinking the GFX100 down into the GFX100S and reducing its price by 40%

If they added something like the larger higher MP EVF into the GFX100S it would have been a more expensive camera than the price point and size they were targeting

It’s unfair to say the X-T4 has the variable angle screen for YouTubers because nonyoutube reviewers marked the camera down for not having one too

If you want X-T4 performance in a more photography centric camera you can buy an X-T3

It’s impossible to make everyone happy

Fujifilm has the people that created the product present the product instead of marketing teams

There shouldn’t be additional costs to customers for repairs in Europe due to Brexit, but repairs are currently slower since they have to go to Switzerland or similar local, but don’t send it right to Fujifilm Bedford

There will be no similar X-Thusiast program for the US because the program is already too big in the UK
