Need a Point & Shoot? Fujifilm to bring a fixed lens 100MP GFX rangefinder style camera in 2025

[Canon Rumors]

The rumors look to be true, Fuji will introduced a fixed lens rangefinder style GFX camera with a 100MP “medium format” sensor in the first quarter of 2025. The camera will reportedly sport a 35mm f/4 lens (28mm f/3.2 DOF equivalent). There will be no IBIS in the camera, but that probably won't matter much

I don't need a 100MP, but there's something about clicking "ENHANCE" in Lightroom and........ (I've only experienced 60MP)

Interesting move.
I don't like the lens and Fujifilm's color science. I'd rather buy a Leica Q3, with 60MPX along with its well renowned 28mm f/1.7 than a 100MPX with a slow lens attached.

I don't like the standard profiles (Provia, Astia and Velvia) but Nostalgic Neg, Classic Neg and the latest Reala look pretty nice I must say.

The R8 + 28/2.8 makes a nice P&S for me. As a bonus, I can put the RF 24-240mm that I am about to order just ordered on it, and it makes a nice bridge camera.

All dials on the camera will be dedicated to selecting the film simulations, you won't be allowed to set your own exposure!

It won't happen, but Canon should take their discontinued M200 body and use it as the basis of a new fixed-lens compact camera.

Who will pay 5000€ for something pretending to be a Leica Q which is not a Leica and pretending to be Fuji-Mediumformat without the good stuff of the GFX-Series?

Given the success of Fuji\'s X100 series (relative to their market share I guess), it makes sense for them to try such experiment.
And people who dismiss it should give a try to MF first (although this is a \"small MF\" or \"crop MF\" offering like all Fuji G line)

Who would pay 1000€ for a 5 year old 300€ point & shoot? Lots of people. Fuji will sell a lot of these if it's done well.

Sounds cool. Medium format, compact.

What are the advantages of Medium Format with a fixed lens compared to Full Frame with an equivalent lens?

For this fake MF: bragging rights
For proper 6x6 MF you’d get all the larger sensor advantages, combined with the improvements you get by paying a lot more attention to your work.

You never compared a file out of medium format camera to one a full frame camera to say that.

Real 6x6 medium format or the 'mini-MF' Fuji and Hasselblad are using in their MILCs?

No I haven't, that's why I'm asking because I've never used Medium Format.

MF : FF :: FF : APS-C.

Real MF is either 6X6. 6X7 0r 6X9.
Anything else is "larger FF"

I'm imagining when a future owner will meet a person with R1+RF600+T2 in Central Park. Both think the other person is crazy! I'll snap a photo of them with my M6-2+Efm22 and keep running.

Compared to a 28mm f/3.2 FF camera, it’ll be resolution and dynamic range / noise performance that you gain
