The cinema camera market is heating up! Fujifilm has just announced that they are planning to release a new GFX Eterna—a large format GFX cinema camera with a 102megapixel CMOS II HS image sensor. This will be Fujifilm’s first-ever filmmaking camera and should instantly give the current cinema camera players a run for their money.

Set to be showcased at the InterBEE 2025 event in Japan this week, the GFX Eterna is a bold step forward for a company making waves with its mirrorless and point-and-shoot cameras as of late. As a continuation of its GFX series, this new Eterna model will provide sensor readout speeds almost two times faster than the previous GFX100S sensor.

“Leveraging Fujifilm’s expertise and experience in the field of filmmaking, the company will combine the exceptional capabilities of Fujinon lenses with the advanced technology of the GFX series. Aptly named ‘GFX Eterna,’ it aspires to become a driving force in shaping a new era of filmmaking and dedicated to contributing to the creation of timeless cinematic masterpieces.” — Fujifilm.

Coming up on the company’s 90-year anniversary, this new GFX Eterna will build on Fujifilm’s Eterna series motion picture color negative film technology and utilize its cinema zoom lenses from its Premista series and ZK Cabria series.

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
