@@bigheadtaco And how they respond? Too small market? I mean it shouldn't be a problem for a camera manufacture that has many types of model with the same specs. Ah, let just hope.... Btw, what's your ideal X70 Takei?
Love this video as it's great to hear from so many inspirational photographers. Also it's great to hear someone like Casey say he shoots with the Zeiss 32mm as this is my current favorite lens on the X-T5: fast enough, super sharp, small & light, and outstanding rendering.
Favorite camera: My X-T3; Favorite lens: Right now it's been my 18-55 but using it at one focal length like a prime. Loving 23mm lately; Favorite Film Sim: Acros; I don't know of a specific legacy product, but rather a legacy philosophy. I'd like to see a strong return to the Kaizen philosophy for updates to older cameras for more that just fixes, rather updates that add value to older cameras like film simulations. As an amateur I can't afford to buy a new camera all the time. Besides, I really love my X-T3. It's a beast of a camera that is more that I really need. I take it hiking all the time and it's just always great. Thanks for these interviews!!
It would be a lot of fun if Fujifilm looked at the new digicam trend out now and tried to capitalize on people who like very small, lightweight, simple but fun cameras to use. Since Sony has not made a new RX100 camera in quite a few years, Fuji could come out with something similar to the RX100VA but add all the current film simulation tech. I think they could make an exciting product if they keep the price from being too high while still making a nice little camera.
Thanks for your thoughts. Yes they need to make a replacement of the X30, but use a 1” sensor. To make it not so big, the lens zoom range will have to change, or aperture. Even a fixed lens that Thomas mentioned would be fine, but I do want an EVF or OVF…..
Built in AirTags basically I guess….. it would be an interesting tech to include into higher end digital cameras. I can see Sony or Leica being the first to do so…
That’s basically an X-Pro3, but without a leaf-shutter lens, and bigger. The trick to making the X100 series so small is the fixed lens as 70% of the actual lens is inside the body. By making it into an ILC, the camera will naturally become bigger.
I feel a digital TX1 isn’t financially practical, as was the original TX1. It was expensive back then, and as popular as it is now, it wasn’t very popular back then. My guess is a double wide APS-C sensor will make it 48mm wide, wider than the current GFX sensor at approximately 44mm wide, meaning the lenses will have to be as big or bigger than the current GFX lenses. This means the price of the new digital TX1 based off of a double wide APS-C sensor will cost more than the GFX system, while using their existing lenses. The only way it could work is if it’s a fixed lens TX1. This is my guess. They can make it, but it’ll be too expensive.
