Fujifilm makes okay cameras...however, what I don't like about them is that almost all of their cameras seem to be the same product with a new name and a minor tweak. New arrangements of buttons and knobs are not innovations.
Sure, they have the GFX series with huge sensors, but that is a niche market.
They should do something like the APS-C equivalent of Sony a1 with a fast-readout sensor for their format, and maybe remove the mechanical shutter for good. What they've been doing for the past few years is just boring and plain.
- frostburg 5y agoThey're apparently going to have a stacked sensor like in the a9/a1 in their next generation. Still not very interested in crop cameras but it's not a bad system overall.
- StephenJGL 5y agoThat's been the game in cameras for ages. They use the market to sift product configurations and then apply scaling to the ones that win out.
- Tomte 5y agoAnd they really let "non-winners" rot. For example, at the beginning of the pandemic when every camera maker put out a "webcam software"? Fuji did, too. And to this day it does not support the X-E3, but does support the X-T3, which is basically identical, save for a different viewfinder placement and a few very minor things. Back when I bought a new camera I also pondered whether to buy the X-E3 or the X-T3 and… chose the future loser, of course.
