This device combines Fujifilm's expertise in film and photography with the power of a 102 megapixel medium format sensor, designed to capture rich images with optimised flexibility for post-production. Inspired by Fujifilm's "Eterna" film negative film legacy, this model was unveiled as a prototype at Inter BEE 2024 and will be officially launched in 2025.

The GFX Eterna integrates the powerful X-Processor 5, which enables video recording in 8K/30p resolution with advanced options such as Apple ProRes and cinema lens compatibility thanks to a G-to-PL adapter, expanding creative possibilities when using premium cinema lenses.
