Today, January 27th at 14:00 CET, (08:00 EST / 05:00 PST), FUJIFILM will conduct their (Virtual) annual X Summit GLOBAL and keeping up with tradition, we have the reason to believe that new cameras and/or lenses will be introduced. Like many other current industry events, the FUJIFILM X Summit GLOBAL will take place later today, in an online way. So, what should we expect when it comes to video functionality? Let’s speculate together… A new GFX Type Camera? Personally, for quite some time now, I wanted to see a medium format, GFX100 type of camera but at a much reduced shape and price. Something that will make sense for filmmakers too (102 Mega Pixels is great for photography but not so relevant for us filmmakers). Now, taking into consideration that the original GFX100 was introduced two years ago in a similar event, there is a good reason to assume that a new large format camera is coming. By the way, if you missed the opportunity, please head to our 2-part documentary, where we followed the birth of the GFX100 (part 1 can be found here and part 2 here). Speaking of which, the original GFX100 has an amazing In body Image Stabilisation system (IBIS), great autofocus and a beautiful 4K “filmic picture aesthetic and look”. In addition, the ability to record 4K ProRes RAW externally to an Atomos Ninja V monitor recorder is also a big plus (see our initial review and sample footage of the GFX100 by clicking here)....
