Photokina 2016 a photographic memory - part 5 of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Published 01/10/2016

Fuji’s new camera will be able to offer a multitude of different aspect ratios: 4:3 ratio at 51.4 megapixels, 3:2 at 45.4MP, 16:9 at 38.3MP, 65:24 at 25.2MP, 5:4 at 48MP and 38.8MP in 1:1 format. In other words, we can maintain a decent number of pixels at any aspect ratio we choose.

Another point to note is that with a mirrorless system, users will be freed from mirror shock when capturing images, whilst a newly designed focal plane shutter will allow up to 1/4000th sec captures. The camera - the first iteration of which will be called the GFX 50S - also features a waist level tilt screen and a fully rotating separate viewfinder. Fujifilm promises that the option to shoot tethered will be available from day one. Pricing had not been fixed at the time of writing - but the manufacturer did boast that it would retail for ‘under $10,000 with viewfinder’.

Announced GF series lenses for the GFX, coming ‘early 2017’, include the GF63mm f/2.8 R WR standard prime lens, providing the equivalent of 50mm in the 35mm format and described as ‘lightweight and small’. This is joined by the GF32-64mm f/4 R LM WR zoom, providing the 35mm format equivalent of 25-51mm, plus a GF120mmm f/4 macro lens. Three more lenses are also in development to join this initial trio.
