- DidYaWipe 2y agoThe real question is why Fuji changed its name to "Fujufilm" just as film was phased out...
- sottol 2y agoFor the retro vibes? Or maybe their polaroid-style mini film cameras? They do _really_ well with their Instax line - afair it was > 50% of their revenue once.
- SushiHippie 2y ago> On September 19, 2006, Fujifilm announced plans to establish a holding company, Fujifilm Holdings Corp. Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox would become subsidiaries of the holding company. A representative of the company reconfirmed its commitment to film, which accounts for 3% of sales. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujifilm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujifilm

- leejo 2y agoThis might also be that DJI have owned Hasselblad for a while now, so they're sort of already in that space and Fuji don't want them to dominate it [too much]. Fuji's high resolution offerings are superior to Hasselblad's (IMHO) and cost half as much. They could eat up this market quite easily.
