The Conservation Alliance (TCA) announced that it will auction off a Fujifilm X100VI Limited Edition camera, provided by Fujifilm, in order to raise funds to protect and expand North America's wild and outdoor spaces.
As if getting your hands on a Fujifilm X100VI wasn't hard enough, this past week was even more challenging for those who tried to nab one of just 300 available Limited Edition cameras.
Fujifilm says that is actively investigating all of the orders placed during the sale of the Limited Edition X100VI last week and any found to be "suspicious" will be canceled.
Two longtime stalwarts of the film photography industry, Fujifilm and Eastman Kodak, are poised to battle it out in the courts as Fujifilm Corporation filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Eastman Kodak Company in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
We've officially crossed over into spring here in the northern hemisphere, and just like the winter weather in many places, the good deals just won't let up.
Fujifilm USA began offering its small allotment of limited edition X100VI cameras today and its website almost immediately buckled under the weight of the traffic surge. At the time of publication, the store remains inaccessible to many.
Fujifilm's X100VI is already difficult to obtain, but getting access to the special limited-edition X100VI will be even harder: the company only plans to make 300 available in the United States on a first come, first serve basis.
I haven’t used an instant camera in a very long time, and I must admit that when the new Fujifilm Instax Mini 99 showed up I was a little flippant about it. After my time with it, I'm happy to admit I was wrong.
Fujifilm announced the Mini 99 Instant camera which it says maintains the classic Instax aesthetic while incorporating new features that allow photographers to control color, brightness, and focus.
Fujifilm has been at the forefront of sensor stabilization systems and the one found in the new X100VI is particularly impressive given the size constraints.
While Fujifilm's runaway popularity of the newly launched X100VI is well known, it isn't the only company that is "suffering from success." Ricoh's GR III, which is now over five years old, continues to be in such high demand it is difficult, if not impossible, to acquire.
The new X100VI has far exceeded Fujifilm's predictions, and it expects backorders to persist for at least a "few months" as the company has confirmed its production capacity is capped at 15,000 units per month.
Last week was a big one for some of the biggest names in the camera industry including Fujifilm, Sigma, and Panasonic. Tons of announcements hit thanks to the CP+ camera exhibition in Japan that we needed a whole episode to talk about them all!
The Fujifilm X100VI is arguably the hottest camera in the world right now but demand is high and not everyone who wants one is going to get their hands on one.
Fujifilm has launched a service through its Printlife branding called Capture Canada, which offers consumers there the opportunity to digitize prints, film, slides, and videotapes by mailing them in.
Fujifilm made a splash at its X Summit event in Tokyo today. Beyond announcing the highly anticipated X100VI camera, which is nearly everything we wanted from a new X100 camera, Fujifilm added a few interesting tidbits to the end of its keynote speech, including teasing a new XF lens and announcing exciting firmware coming to older cameras.
I'm gonna let you in on a dirty little secret of mine: I never liked the original Fujifilm X100. When it first came out, I was -like many others- enamored by the beautiful styling, but the operation of the camera just never gelled with me. The rather boring -- in my opinion -- 35mm lens didn't help things either. It wasn't until I played with the newly designed X100V that I had my aha moment, and realized the appeal of this camera.
After teasing its arrival, Fujifilm announced the X100VI today at its X-Summit in Tokyo, Japan. The new version, pronounced "X100 six," maintains the familiar compact form factor but upgrades the sensor to 40-megapixels and adds 5-axis in-body image stabilization.
Last fall, Fujifilm unveiled its newest medium format camera, the Fujifilm GFX 100 II along with its first tilt-shift lenses and a new fast prime: the Fujifilm GF 55mm f/1.7 R WR.

In 2023, Fujifilm's X Series saw little love, with a single new camera and lens being added to the mix. The medium-format GFX System grew by one camera and three lenses this year.
After wrapping our awards, PetaPixel's staff turned its attention to another annual project, "Bold Camera Predictions." The 2024 edition arrives later this week with the help of a special guest, but ongoing internal discussions birthed the camera of my dreams, a Sony RX1R II replacement.
Instax already constitutes a majority of Fujifilm's imaging business revenue but the company plans to push emphasis on its instant film it even more. It wants to see sales increase to $1.04 billion, or 15% year-over-year growth, by fiscal year's end.
Fujifilm has come to dominate the medium format market and for good reason. Combining the ergonomic controls and autofocusing capabilities of its APS-C cameras with the colossal image quality from the 100-megapixel sensor has paid dividends for the company. Although Fujifilm also uses a 50-megapixel sensor, it's the latest sensors in the GFX 100 line of cameras that steal the show.
Fujifilm has suspended the sales of two of its top-selling cameras in Japan.
Last month, Fujifilm held one of its X Summit events, using the occasion to launch the Fujifilm GFX100 II. The new flagship medium-format camera has attracted significant attention, and with good reason. However, the camera is enigmatic regarding high-speed shooting performance and dynamic range.

Fujifilm is investing 4.5 billion yen (about $30 million) into its Ashigara Site at the Kanagawa Factory in Japan in order to boost its Instax film production capacity by 20%.
We've seen the 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary before because it's the current full-frame super-telephoto option from Sigma for mirrorless cameras. What we haven't seen before is a full-frame Sigma that has been specifically adapted for the APS-C-sized Fujifilm lens mount -- until now.
Sigma has announced that it is bringing the 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS and 23mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lenses to Fujifilm X-mount, bringing the total number of Sigma optics for the format to six.
The Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 Pro Autofocus lens for Fujifilm X-mount is now available. Touted as a "masterpiece of optical engineering," it is also remarkably affordable at $545.

While attending the CP+ 2023 show in Yokohama earlier this year, I met with representatives of Fujifilm and had a chance to ask them about the reasons behind some camera features, the details of a recent firmware update, specifics about some of their future plans, and some more philosophical questions about 8K video and whether there’s still a place for “entry-level” models in the industry these days.
