Fujifilm GFX Firmware – Now Released!
WHAT’S IMPORTANT?
With a quick look, this update looks like just minor bug fixes. But I think the significance of these updates are not to be missed. Fujifilm is updating the 50R and the 50S to work with the new features of he 30mm T/S Lens. Why does that matter? It’s shows that they value your long term investment. They are NOT using features or new lenses to push you into needing to upgrade. I strongly believe that this is how you win long term commitment to a product line and a customer. So while this update might seem minor on the surface, it actually illustrates why customers should believe in Fujifilm as a company and its core values.
