Fuji announced the development of the new GFX-100 medium format camera. I find it weird they will go with an integrated vertical grip. Still, this is going to be an exciting camera using the new Sony 100 megapixels that has on sensor phase detection pixels. Moreover it will be the first medium format camera with IBIS. Will ship in 2019 for an estimated price of $10,000. – #fuji #fujifilm #fujigfx #mirrorless #photokina #photokina2018

I wonder that that “Better reproduction of the gradation of RAW pictures” means!

UPDATE: Maiku reports there’s a problem with the OSX updater for the a7iii and the a7riii update file.  He found a fix and made a video:
