In March of 2015 Samsung filed a patent in Japan for a 70-200mm f/2.8 full frame mirrorless lens with OIS. Probably back then they still had a camera department working on new patents and it’s interesting to see that they even considered a full frame mirrorless camera/solution.

Fujifilm GF670

Picture: the already discontinued Fujifilm GF670 medium format rangefinder camera

Rumors about a new Fuji medium format digital camera have been going around for a while, but today I received information from a good source that next week Fuji will officially announce a new medium format digital camera. This is what I know so far:

  • Medium format camera with a 50MP sensor (not sure if it will be mirrorless, but I doubt they will re-introduce the mirror after making fun of it for years)
  • The camera will be introduced with two new lenses, one of them will be a zoom (30-90mm most likely)
  • The official announcement is expected on September 15th or 16th (the date I got for the US is the 16th)
