FUJIFILM North America has announced the release of the GFX ETERNA 55, its first camera designed primarily for professional digital filmmaking. The camera combines Fujifilm’s color science with a large-format sensor to provide filmmakers with a versatile tool for cinematic content.
The GFX ETERNA 55 features one of the tallest digital cinema sensors available, allowing expanded use of spherical and anamorphic lenses. Its native 4:3 Open Gate format is nearly 1.7 times larger than Full Frame, providing flexibility in framing and composition. The camera supports up to 16 3D LUTs and includes 20 built-in Film Simulations, giving precise control over color and tone from production to post.
The camera uses a 102-megapixel GFX 102MP CMOS II HS sensor. It offers five main formats: GF, Premista, 35mm, ANAMORPHIC (35mm), and Super35, with multiple resolution options. Filming is possible in 4:3 Open Gate at up to 48 frames per second. The sensor measures 43.8mm wide, 32.9mm high, and 54.8mm diagonally. Fujifilm added a four-point Optical Low-Pass Filter to reduce optical artifacts. Dual-Base ISO at 800 and 3200 ensures flexibility in bright or low light.
The GFX ETERNA 55 captures images using F-Log2 and F-Log2 C with over 14 stops of dynamic range. Filmmakers can use 10 Film Simulation 3D-LUTs, including ETERNA and ETERNA BLEACH BYPASS, along with additional downloadable LUTs such as PROVIA, Velvia, and ACROS. Up to 16 LUTs can be stored in the camera for real-time preview of final looks.
The camera supports Apple ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422, ProRes 422 LT, and H.265/HEVC codecs. It can output 4:2:2 10-bit uncompressed data and up to 8K/30P 12-bit RAW via HDMI. Frame.io Camera to Cloud integration allows instant upload for review or post-production.
The body weighs 4.4 pounds (2 kilograms). Dual 3-inch side monitors give operators and assistants full menu access. A multi-function dial controls focus, iris, and zoom, and adjusts the internal variable ND filter. The 2000-nit 5-inch touch LCD works in bright sunlight and adjusts to multiple angles. The internal NP-W235 battery provides 30 minutes of filming without external power and supports hot swapping of external batteries. Media options include CFExpress Type B and SD cards.

The GFX ETERNA 55 will ship in October 2025 at a suggested retail price of $16,499.95 USD. Pre-orders begin September 15, 2025, at select dealers and through Fujifilm’s official store.
