Full frame Fuji mirrorless?

I've visited the Fuji site and can't identify any of their cameras with a full frame sensor. Am I just missing something or are they purely APS-C bodies?

Thanks.

Purely APS-C....
And they are great!
The interface reminds me of film cameras.
You can access more of the controls w/o going into the menu.
Have shutter dial on the bodies and aperture rings on the lenses.
Helps to have used the good old stuff.
Great IQ. Not surprising- the company has a long background making film and lenses.

I suspected as much, but wanted to check.

This is good stuff. They have a good reputation and lately I've seen a couple of working photographers using them.

Thanks.

Damien Lovegrove and Tony Woolliscroft, both UK professionals, use the Fuji cameras. Damien is a wedding photographer, amongst many other genres and Tony, focuses on bands, notably Red Hot Chillies.

So far only C-sized sensors.
They chose the 16Meg C size on the basis of sensor size and lens size
for their mirror-less X-body offerings. I have an X-2 which is a beautiful camera shooting excellent results.

I doubt they are going to full size sensors anytime soon.

Yes, that would mean even more new lenses.
16 megs seems to be a magic number.
Plenty of resolution for most.
