Well this is big news.
I'm at the Fuji launch event for the GFX here in Dubai, and the Fuji representative has just confirmed that when the GFX is launched, it will be supported in Capture One.
Kind regards,
Gerald.
If it's true, it is all about money. The current owner of Phase is a private equity firm that is either half way out the door or is working to that end. Perhaps they calculated that the additional revenue from the new buyers of Capture One plus any money paid by Fuji to "sweeten" the pot for Phase was worth much more than the potential loss of camera sales to the GFX. Phase may be more focused than ever on moving up market to premium priced products like a back with a new Sony sensor offering 150MP+.Wow, that is good news for Fuji fans. I wonder why Pentax wasn't able to arrange such a deal.
It wasn't a planned announcement.Doug Peterson will know if this is true. Doug?
What makes me skeptical is that a launch event in Dubai is a strange place to "announce" such important news. Fuji is a very buttoned up company that likes to control the release of information.
If what was said this evening was true, then from a competitive standpoint it could actually make a lot of sense.So basically Capture One will support every camera manufacturer that isn't Hasselblad.![]()
The strange thing is not that it was announced in Dubai, it is that it was apparently just a statement in response to a random question at a pre-launch event in Dubai. One would expect such an announcement to be made with a bit more fanfare. We shall see. If true, it is excellent news.It wasn't a planned announcement.
At the end of a presentation given by Zack Arias, I asked him whether he would miss Capture One if he moved from Phase One to Fuji. He said he didn't know whether the GFX would be supported, and looked at the Fuji guys. They said that it would be supported when the camera is released. I challenged it, they confirmed.
Oh, and for what it's worth, plenty of things get announced here.
The first rule for evaluating camera systems based upon what you read on the internet is....don't. Of course, if you are just looking to have preconceived notions supported, it's great, because there is an opinion on just about everything on the internet, with most of it based upon anecdote rather than first hand experience.If what was said this evening was true, then from a competitive standpoint it could actually make a lot of sense.
I had a brief play with the GFX yesterday - I really should spend a little more time with it, perhaps I'll go back later in the week and dig a little deeper - but this camera is a game changer, and from what I've read here regarding the X1D, it's going to get blown out of the water.
Not sure what point you are trying to make here, but it flew right over my head.The first rule for evaluating camera systems based upon what you read on the internet is....don't.

Why would they be editing JPEGs in C1? Well, Fuji has a thing about JPEGs, and apparently a very significant percentage of Fuji shooters shoot JPEGs. Moreover, nobody has been permitted to shoot raws with the GFX cameras. Perhaps that's because there is no support as of now in any software for Fuji raw files. With the GFX hitting the streets in two weeks, what software is going to provide immediate support for the raw files?4 hours since starting the thread and no denial from doug, must be true then.
In the commercials by fuji you could see the guys working with c1 anyway.
Why should they be editing jpgs on c1
It was supported from the get go, the denial from phase was just a nda, for whatever reason
