Fujifilm Photography News and Rumors

Well after after a few phone calls and questioning representative about what is happening today I received notice of my shipment being prepared to go out form my CC company contacting me to make sure I want the Fujifilm GFX100 charge to go through. Now the status is shipped and I have a tracking number.

Hopefully readers that ordered got similar notice because the GFX100 is sold out everywhere according to the best data I have access too. It looks like Fujifim has another hit on their hands, because B&H Photo has more than their allotted shipment sold and Amazon isn’t expecting cameras for a month or two. I am pretty sure Adorama will be in the same boat from what I have heard. I also contacted a few smaller shops and they are all sold out too.

I can confirm that shops have received and are shipping the GFX100, but B&H Photo is running a little behind. They received their cameras, but something is delaying shipment. From what I can gather cameras were shipped to stores a few days ago and most received them yesterday.

Fujifilm released GFX Story #1 to celebrate the launch of the Fujifilm GFX100 and in it, they double down on their large format claims by saying,

“To this day, there are still people that practice photography with the medium and the large format films. The main reason for this is the image quality. But in terms of resolution, the current 44 x 33mm format surpasses that of the 6 x 4.5 and even the 8 x 10. There still is the unique color reproduction of the silver halide films, but if the medium and the large format is designed for large prints, then there is no point in seeking historical ground to call what format GFX is. Because with the GFX100, we can have the prints even larger. “

but of course, the Fujifilm GFX100 is must faster and easier to work with than old medium format and large format cameras. There has never really been a camera quite like the GFX100 on the market before with smaller 35mm sensor cameras being limit and larger sensor camera being few and far between that Fujifilm thinks the naming conventions should change.

Fujifilm thinks that the launch of the GFX100 will be similar to the X-Pro2, where photographers finally noticed that Fujifilm could make a snappy usable camera in addition to providing great image quality. Personally, I think that time was more around the end of the Fujifilm X-T1’s lifetime because firmware updates improved the camera soo much, but this is their story so you can read their side of it here.

“To put simply, the GFX100 has the agility like the X-T3 and achieves the descriptive power like the 8×10. There have never been a system like this before. This is a whole new experience.”

To enjoy the GFX100’s performance leap you must update all of your lenses to their latest firmware 1.10.
