So then, has Fuji decided to lead the way in the abandonment of traditional full frame? Are we all headed to medium format when the competition ramps up?

It isn't medium format, it is like medium crop. It is smaller than the hasslblad digital medium format which is smaller than film medium format.

There is no competition when the market is shrinking.
Canikon owns 24x36 dslr territory and smartphones devoured entry level segment.
The only way is up where it's already an overcrowded tiny room.

There will be blood.

It's mainly positioned to kill Pentax MF.

In my opinion, Pentax is feeling the heat right now, they already fired 1000 Pentax employees in north america. And Ricoh is in huge trouble now, they are about to fire more people from the photocopy department.
Meanwhile their MF cameras are clashing with the new Fuji MF and Hasselblad MF.

I wish they'd just ditch the fucking video, I don't want that in a stills camera.

The idea of a camera with a sensor that is larger than full frame is definitely appealing but I still need to be able to toss it into a bag with three zooms, a ts/e and a speedlight.

Achieve that and you will have my attention.

The quality won't magically increase by removing video features from firmware.

Do you even realise the only goddamn reason why you are getting the upgraded MF sensor in 2018 is due to Video?

Fujifilm CEO literally just that in an interview. So just be thankful video exists, faggot.

Fuji has been the only innovator interested in the end user for the past decade already. It shouldn't come as a surprise.

I don't give a shit what the CEO said as soon as it's out people will be moaning that it doesn't do 4k and development of a serious stills camera will again be hijacked by the prosumer market - fucktards that won't even buy a telephone if it doesn't do 4k.

Either way it's irrelevant because, with or without video, I won't be in the market for it until it meets my other needs, which is not in the foreseeable future.

Or you could just not use it. A feature being present in product that you won't use let alone even buy isn't doing you any harm

They'll be fine when they release that sub-$10k 100mp medium format they've got brewing. Also there's still a real desire for a pool of photographers who prefer an optical viewfinder as opposed to an electronic one. Also, they have a long list of cheap and decent legacy lenses that work alongside their older 645 film cameras.

Pentax has its pros, which aren't huge for a consumerist market, but the people buying this cameras are picky to begin with, and something as simple as preference will determine a sale.

>>3107817
I'm okay with going crop medium over full frame. The aspect ratio is great! 2:3 is stupid awkward, and you lose notably less resolution when cropping to, say, 4x5 or 6x7. You can't said resolution isn't a strong consideration for people who buy these cameras.

Cropping to 4x5 from the 50mp Canon 5dsr, the resolution turns out to be 40mp, where as cropping to 4x5 from the 645z or GFX 50s turns out to be 48mp. Also easier to envision the crop using 645's somewhat unusual 4.5:6 aspect ratio.

Nah, fuji are just pissed they gimped their x mount too hard and pushed themselves out of the running for a viable professional system.

Just look at the roadmap, x mount is dead because it's hit its limits.

Their mf offering are equally short-sighted, it's another gimped mount and as soon as sony release their proper mf sensors at a market penetrable price fuji will be in exactly the same position they found themselves in on x mount.

With so much purchasing online now, especially for high cost electronic goods, fuji can't rely on user experience or amazing shop demos, good sales now rely on specs and features that make them competitive at their price point.

Yeah no. Nobody's leaving FF anytime soon. And since MF is going to be studio shooting most of the time, a Pentax K-1 with pixel shift would be better. Just swap out the flash for high power LEDs
