Christ fujifilm, we just want an xPro-4 with 50 megapixels and IBIS. That’s it.
The Xpro-3 is 7 years old now.
Sad x-pro 2 noises
I’ve got an X-Pro1, I can relate.
That thing has taken some of my favorite photos though, I just wish it were faster.
Same, I love that camera
This, mainly so I can buy used when y’all upgrade.
Hello. Diffraction limit calling, who am I speaking to? Yeah hi, it is Fuji medium format 180MP camera. How it is going ? Ok just remember than any aperture smaller than f/5.6 will be affected by diffraction ok. Anything smaller won’t be sharper, you will just have to save larger files and won’t have more details in your image. Well, am I just a marketing gimmick them? Yes you are… that’s ok. Fuji is also selling the xhalf, we still love you.
I don’t know much about photography, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but would something like focus stacking help with this?
That is to say, make the lens less of a bottleneck so you could benefit from a higher resolution sensor.
See: https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/hyperfocal-distance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocal_distance
But TL;DR: for distant landscapes on a wide field of view lens, you can shoot at F5.6 and everything is in focus. I even do this at F1.4 on my lowly aps-c camera.
Put more concretely, the hyperfocal distance for a 35mm f5.6 lens on a medium format camera is 5 meters. Everything in the distance can be in focus.
For portraits, you want background blur anyway.
And if you’re doing anything else on a medium format camera, you’re kind of insane, heh.
As a real life example, the Canon 600mm F11 telephoto lens should be awful, on, say, a 32MP crop sensor R7. That’s insane pixel density somewhere in the ballpark of this Fuji.
…But look at real life shots of that exact combo, and they’re sharp as hell. Sharper than a Sigma at F6.3.
The diffraction limit is something to watch out for, but in reality, stuff like the lens imperfections, motion blur, atmospheric distortion and such are going to get you first. You don’t need to shoot at F4 on this thing to make use of the resolution, even if that is the ideal scenario.
If they pay this out by August I’ll buy it for a trip
No interest in the GFX100RF?
Is that a fixed 35 prime lense?
I do have a Fuji 35 prime and it’s fantastic, but I’m looking for something interchangeable
Fixed 35, but with the larger sensor it’ll behave more like a 40mm full frame.
I brought the RF up just because of its size. Those other GFX cameras are absolute units once they have a lens on.
Fujifilm wants to simulate the film experience by having 30 shots fill up a 128 gb sd card
spoiler
/s
Well, you can just calculate the maximum number of bytes per image to see what the actual capacity is. 128M pixels * 3 bytes per pixel is 384 Megabytes. Should go down to 100 each after JPEG compression.
If you’re spending this much on a camera and only shooting JPEG, what are you doing lol
Fine. Webp.
Increase by 25-50% if you want HDR color specs.
I don’t think I want to waste 40MB per photo.
Is high MP with real detail an actual thing AI can’t generate easily?
AI generated detail is not something anyone wants in an actual camera, it usually looks odd. but i doubt 180mp vs 50mp is going to make much difference other than massive file size
Oh. Oh my. I’ve always wanted a medium format, but I’m also really happy with Fuji. Þis could be a perfect storm for me.
