Rumour: New Fuji SLR!

[ayatokamina]

No Fuji have not dismantled their SLR factory.

They actually made a few proto types of the S6Pro and sent it to "*" to have it checked out.

Was based on the x7xx body and has a full frame EXR sensor.

"*" said, "NO" it is so good that we won't be able to sell our x7xx :bigeyes:

Maybe Fuji will create their own body for it and use either their own lens (they do make them) or make different bodies to take either of the major lens out there.

Sorry for the "*" and the x's but you will work out what I am referring to

I have no reason to dis-believe the source of this information by the way.

So, it will come. It will knock some socks off the competition. But when ???????

Cheers

sounds very cool. but if they're going full frame, frankly i don't think can afford it........ :cry:

Seems like "*" is Nikon and x7xx is the D700. So Nikon won't allow Fuji to sell the S6pro uf it is too close to the D700? It also seems like they're planning a FF camera if they're using the D700.

Of cos it is. But interesting never the least. hahaha :bsmilie:

 

[oakenfoldsg]

definitely is fake, 25M resolution lol

 

[ayatokamina]

But a full frame super CCD EXR & 23 MP is definitely to good to pass......
This will definitely kill the competition.... :think:

agree i feel fuji should just make their bodies adn maybe their own lenses...

 

[ZeroDivine]

they have their own bodies and lenses esp for those MF cameras what.
but for 35mm it's not cost effective. Furthermore they don't quite have something like the CLS which is one huge advantage of Nikon SLR system.

s5 gotch cls control

no mehss?

 

[ZeroDivine]

if they do make their own bodies..
then it will not have CLS already
they would have to reinvent the whole wheel again and come out with their own flash system - which is damn stupid

thats' why in the first place they decide to just stick with buying nikon body, cos the system is very comprehensive.

Please take notes that CLS is not mandatory for most photographers.
Fujifilm may notice that using Nikon body is not a long terms solution.
Since they have experience on Sensor, Lens, P&S & medium format camera.

For Fujifilm to develop a DSLR is not a problem,
It is depend whether Fujifilm is interested & willing to invest on this business.

 

[ZeroDivine]

If it had been a better option in the first place they would develop their own mount and sell it already
With the minute market share of Fuji DSLR(go check last year's sale in Japan, it can't even compare to Olympus or Pentax), it does not make any business sense to venture into 35mm DSLR with your own mount body and lenses
Especially if your business still primarily come from other things other than the DSLR camera

ps. CLS is not mandatory, but studio photographers, wedding, portrait/fashion photographers, as well as many others depend a lot on it

This is just my own gut feel, others may not feel the same:

If Fuji were to introduce their own body and lenses, I will definitely consider it more seriously then I do now. The way that things are now, Fuji cameras are just like 2nd cousins to the N bodies. Except for the DR, I have not consider any of their other capabilities. I think Kodak took this route of buying N bodies as well and they too have died.

Well said.

 

[osocan]

Well said.

I made my transition from film to digital with a Fuji. You can say that I lost my digital virginity to them Therefore I am quite partial towards them and would like to see them do well

 

[TheChef]

Me too. Previously, I was using Nikon F90X for more than 10 years before I bought the S5 Pro, my first DSLR, a few months ago. Nothing beats its colour reproduction except for high end C and N cameras IMHO. No regret for the small price I paid.
