How Fujifilm Changed the GFX Eterna 55’s 100MP Sensor for Filmmaking

At first glance, the 101-megapixel medium-format image sensor in Fujifilm's brand-new GFX Eterna 55 cinema camera looks very much like the sensor featured in the GFX100 II and GFX100S II.

Nikon debuted its Z-mount cameras in 2018 and shortly thereafter came out with its first professional 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens.

Four vertical color stripes with camera brand names: Fujifilm on green, Nikon on yellow, Sony on orange, and Canon on red, each in their distinctive logo fonts.

I was saddened to learn it would only do this on select products moving forward. That got me thinking: every brand is leaning away from color when they should be leaning into it.
