Financial Results For Q3:February 6, 2025

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 10, 2025


In the Imaging segment, consolidated revenue amounted to ¥426.7 billion (up 15.8% year-over-year). Operating income amounted to ¥115.0 billion (up 29.3% year-over-year).

In the consumer imaging business, steady sales of the instax instant photo systems drove revenue higher. In September 2024, we launched the smartphone printer instax mini Link 3, which can print smartphone images on card-sized instax film. Sales grew steadily during the year-end sales season, along with the instant camera line-up. We will continue to expand the world of the instax instant photo system that allows people to enjoy on-the-spot photo printing.

In the professional imaging business, brisk sales of digital cameras continued to drive revenue growth. In November 2024, we launched the FUJIFILM X-M5 mirrorless digital camera, the lightest in the X series. We also announced the development of our first-ever filmmaking camera, the FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA. We will continue to feature outstanding image quality with the large format sensor in the GFX series and the best balance of image quality and size in the X series, providing attractive products for digital camera users and the film industry.

Instax Wide Brushed Metallics Film

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 8, 2025


Instax Wide Brushed Metallics:
B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
FUJIFILM INSTAX WIDE EVO Hybrid:
B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Fujifilm launched Instax Wide Brushed Metallics alongside the FUJIFILM INSTAX WIDE EVO Hybrid last month, but it wasn’t included in the press release. I really like this new film type and it should be great for displaying your photographs. The brushed metallic look could be used to make black and white photos pop and I hope that they release it for standard Instax and Instax Square in the future.

The Viltrox AF 28mm f/4.5 AF is a unique compact autofocus lens that turns the Fujifilm X-M5 into a pocketable camera. Some photos surfaced on weibo a bit ago showing how well the Viltrox lens and X-M5 go together. Amazon is even marketing the two together in photos.
