When Panasonic launched full-frame system cameras, it hit like a ‘bomb’ in the photo industry. At least there were many who were surprised.

We’ve all seen them. Row upon row of huge lenses, tight ringside at sporting events. The whites are Canon lenses, the blacks Nikon. Some other cameras can hardly be seen in a sports context. It must have annoyed the Sony management to the limit to see the two camera manufacturers share the lucrative professional market …

Fujifilm is among those who have been very good and succeeded well in building a new camera system from scratch. The system appears to be a successful compromise between a full-frame system camera and the smaller microfourthirds system.
