Fujifilm will also add F-Log2 C that adds a wide color gamut and time code synchronization by Ambient Lockit devices through a wired connection. Fujifilm is also considering other enhancements.

X-Trans Fujifilm Super CCD EXR and Why Full Frame Rumors Are Clickbait

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 2, 2024


Fujifilm “finally” releasing a full-frame camera is floated every couple of years for clicks since a portion of photographers believe that full frame is the best thing since sliced bread, but Fujifilm always strongly denies these rumors. In fact only a few years ago, Fujifilm said, “Full Frame Will Never Happen So Stop Asking!“, which is understandable since the introduction of the GFX.

A far more interesting move by Fujifilm would be to bring back Super CCD EXR technology with X-Trans for the X and GFX cameras since the technology is known for its high resolution, high sensitivity, and high dynamic range. Rotating the pixels of an X-Trans sensor 45 degrees would allow for the doubling of resolution, sensitivity, and dynamic range so Fujifilm’s 40-megapixel sensor would deliver 80 megapixels with a dynamic range better than the Fujifilm GFX. If applied to the GFX it would allow Fujifilm to completely surpass companies like PhaseOne.

Sensor size isn’t everything and Fujifilm could pay Sony, Samsung, or someone else to manufacture a Super CCD EXR X-Trans sensor, but it would represent a substantial investment by Fujifilm to become a reality, but at least it would be something new instead of copying what others are doing. Fujifilm has always done its own thing in photography and I hope that continues for a long time to come.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: September 29, 2024


The ArtraLab Nonikkor-Nocty 50mm f/1.2 was launched a bit ago, but it only just became available at B&H Photo.

The Artra Lab Nocty-Nonikkor 50mm f/1.2 Lens for FUJIFILM X is a fast prime lens that sports an ultrawide f/1.2 aperture for excellent performance under low-light scenarios.
