fujifilm

A little history of the brand to get into the matter.

fujifilm (Fujifilm Holdings Corporation) is a Japanese company that was founded in 1934 with the goal of becoming the country’s first photographic film company. In the 1940s, it entered the market for optical glasses, equipment and lenses.

After the Second World War, it diversified into different sectors and in the following decades it accelerated its international sales and the pace of globalization of its products.

With the turn of the millennium they changed their business strategy to accommodate the decline of analog film.

It is a strong company that has been able to face the challenges of the market in constant change and evolution. It currently has a very extensive catalog of cameras and lenses of unquestionable quality.

Fujifilm cameras

In this section we are going to see the different types of cameras and what type of user they are aimed at.

To begin with, I am going to leave you with some recommendations when choosing a camera.

Which Fujifilm camera to buy?

The choice of a camera is very personal. I always say that you don’t have to look for the perfect camera because it doesn’t exist, but that everyone has to look for their ideal camera.

And how do you know which one it is? Simple. The one that, within your budget, meets your current needs.

In response to this question that you ask me so much, I created this free tool that will help you in the search for your ideal camera.

On the other hand, if you want to compare between two models, you can always access our Camera Encyclopediaalso free access.

In it you will find detailed information on all the digital cameras on the market and you will be able to compare between various models.

As if this were not enough, here is a list of our recommendations according to the type of cameras:

In these lists you will find cameras of all brands, if you bet on Fujifilm, yes or yes, for whatever reason, then you will see the models that they currently have in the catalog.

digital cameras

There are currently three Fujifilm series of digital cameras:

  • GFX system
  • X-series
  • FinePix XP

We are going to see them in detail right away, although in the first group we will go into less depth, I will tell you why soon.

Before that, I am going to leave you with other Fujifilm series that are no longer in their catalog but that you may have some lying around or see on the second-hand market. Or maybe you’re just curious (speaking of curious, if you want to know all the digital cameras that Fujifilm has released to date click on the link):

  • F-series: High-zoom travel cameras that performed very well in low light with advanced features.
  • J series: compact cameras introduced in 2008, easy to use and cheap.
  • S-series: Bridge cameras with ultra zoom that included CCD and CMOS sensor.
  • HS series: Bridge cameras with ultra zoom and better CMOS sensors than the S series.
  • T-series: compact camera models with a wide zoom range and that recorded high-quality video (for the time, of course).
  • Z series: Sleek, ultra-compact cameras released after 2005.

Now yes, let’s go with the current series:

GFX system

It is the system of Fujifilm large format. The sensor it incorporates is approximately 1.7 times the size of a Full Frame sensor.

These EVIL cameras use high-performance, G-mount GF-series lenses; They offer an infarct resolution and the color treatment is outstanding.

Being mirrorless cameras they have a lighter and more compact body than other cameras in this range.

Obviously, this series is not for everyone. It is designed for him professional photographer who uses his camera as a work tool, needs a large format camera, meets high demands and, in addition, has on a budget when investing.

Fujifilm GFX series large format cameras

These are the GFX models. I am not going to go into them in detail because, as I was saying, they are not made for the amateur photographer, not even for those who are beginning to take their first professional steps:

  • Fujifilm GFX100. A large format camera for both photographers and videographers.
  • Fujifilm GFX100S. Large format in a light and compact body.
  • Fujifilm GFX50S. Medium format camera with impressive image quality.
  • Fujifilm GFX50R. Medium format camera with 51 megapixels, also incredible image quality and somewhat lighter than the previous one.

X-series

Here we are going to stop more because its varied range more than covers the different needs of most photographers, from those who start to those who venture into the professional field.

This series has the X-Trans CMOS Sensor with an enviable quality; removes the low-pass filter so it suppresses moiré; offers high resolution and achieves excellent color treatment.

His philosophy is, in addition to touching the sensitive fiber of nostalgia, to prioritize simplicity.

Its exposure controls (aperture, speed and ISO) are usually accessible on external dials and buttons, there is no need to go into the menu to get to them and it offers the possibility to configure different buttons.

Currently, within the X series there are mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses and compact cameras.

Before we start talking about them, I want to share this graph with you where you can see the different types of cameras in this series, by year of release and some basic characteristics:
