FUJIFILM has announced that it is currently in the process of developing its first-ever filmmaking camera, the FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA, with plans for release in 2025. The new camera will feature a large format sensor, “GFX 102MP CMOS II HS”, which goes beyond traditional full-frame, offering a 4:3 sensor that’s both taller and approximately 1.7 times larger than a 35mm sensor. To handle the data coming off the camera also features the high-speed image processing engine, the X-Processor 5.  This is designed to enable filmmakers to capture images with enhanced flexibility in post-production. Both the GFX 102MP CMOS II HS sensor and X-Processor 5 are the latest technologies featured in the mirrorless digital camera FUJIFILM GFX100 II, but now built into a Digital Cinema camera form factor.

After its founding in 1934, the Fujifilm Group has played an important role in Japan’s film industry by developing and introducing domestically-produced motion picture film. The ETERNA series and the cinema zoom lens lines, Premista and Cabrio, continue the tradition of serving filmmakers. In addition to the development of the GFX ETERNA, Fujifilm is also working on the development of a power zoom GF lens that is optimized for this G mount camera, planned to have actual focal length of 32-90mm. The native G-mount camera will also feature a removable PL mount adapter. More details will be reported as they become available, and anyone interested in receiving ongoing updates about FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA can sign up here: https://shopusa.fujifilm-x.com/gfx-cinema
