With the new Fuji GFX100RF announcement, will you add the camera to complement your Hasselblad kit?

Not for me. I use my 55V vastly more than my 38V. If it were 55 I'd be tempted. I'm not worried about a few grams to get my 55V, IBIS a better 1.0 EVF mag and 1TB of ultra fast storage.

I applaud what Fuji's done here and I hope it does well. We need more interesting cameras. Too many boring black boxes on the market now.

If the V2 has IBIS I can see K wanting one. It's her preferred focal length. Just not mine.

Not for me. At this price, j want to be able to change the lens.

I like using the X2D with the 38V. Since I already have this combination, I don't see any need to buy a GFX100RF. Yes, it would be a bit more compact, but it would only have an F4 instead of F2.5, no IBIS, no option to use a different lens, worse ergonomics, and that confusing Fuji menu.

I voted no but I believe it is a great marketing move by Fuji to go more up market. The X100 was very successful and, I think, they're trying to do the same with a higher segment of the market.

The x100 series was successful from the start, but it wasn't until the vi, which also received an Ibis, that the hype really took off.

So I don't understand why Fuji omitted the Ibis here, especially for a camera that's predestined for handheld shooting and a not-so-fast lens. You can screw an ND filter onto the lens afterward, but not an Ibis.

After all, the GFX100RF is cheaper than a Q3.

I am not interested. The X1D II with the XCD wide angle lenses such as the 28P or the 45P are only a little bit heavier, and its wonderful handgrip and ergonomics can't be compared with those of the GFX100RF, bad handling and full of buttons and menu options. In addition, you can change lens when you like with the Hassy.
So, not for me !
P.S. And I don't like Fuji rendering and colours.... Plus you have IBIS on the X2D.

Is there a market for non interchangeable MF cameras?

I like the idea of a light and portable MF fixed lens camera but I have no idea what the target buyer would be for that camera as it has a lot of strange functions and dials which I would do in post like cropping, format ratio and LUTS (film simulation) but they did not find space for IBIS. IBIS is in my opinion absolutely necessary for 100MP (the reason I did not upgrade to the 907X100C but to the X2D).
One technology which would be perfect for a fixed lens camera is a curved sensor but that would require much more investment than just using an off the shelf sensor. Sony has developed that technology but up till now no camera from Sony or some other camera company uses it. That technology would need specifically designed lenses (which could be smaller and lighter as they don't need to be corrected for spherical aberration) but would promise no light fall off and even resolution across the entire field. I guess it is much cheaper to add some digital functions than to really make significant technological progress.

The x2d + 38V is a much better single camera / single lens travel option.
A bit heavier, a bit bulkier, and definitely more expensive - but still quite portable, and a much better image making tool.

The V was also bacordered for months. But it only had a 26MP sensor so IBIS was less important. The VI has 40MP.

I would probably buy a Leica Q 43 if I wanted this type of camera to be honest.
