WAKE UP FUJI: Ricoh GR IV Monochrome Preorder Available – Where is the Fujifilm X80 Monochrome?

The Ricoh GR IV Monochrome is now available for preorder at BHphoto here, at Adorama here and soon also at Amazon here.

Back in 2013 I already said that a monochrome Fujifilm camera would be an instant success. And I am sure that the Ricoh GR IV monochrome will be a tremendous success, just as the regular Ricoh GR IV.

Now, my dream would be an X-Pro monochrome version. But I’d also be happy with a Fujifilm X80 in both versions: regular sensor and monochrome sensor.

I don’t understand why Fujifilm isn’t on the market with one already. Well, I guess that’s good for Ricoh, who can enjoy an almost competition-free market.

Fujifilm X-H2S Removal from Some Stores Fuels Speculations about Fujifilm X-H3S

Is this the end for the Fujifilm X-H2S?

Well, it might be way to early to claim that, but we take note that US store Moment removed the Fujifilm X-H2S from their store.

The Fujifilm X-H2S is expected to be available at BHphoto in 6-10 weeks, whereas it is in stock at Amazon US here and Adorama here.

So, FR-readers, who made me notice the missing X-H2S on Moment asked me: is the Fujifilm X-H3S about to come?

Well, that’s a good question and I guess I better try to find the answer to it as soon as possible.

For now all I know is that 2026 will be indeed the year in which Fujifilm will start upgrading their cameras to the 6th generation platfrom.

The Fujifilm X-H2S was the first 5th generation camera in Fuji’s lineup, so it is not totally impossible that it will be again the Fujifilm X-H-S line that will mark the beginning of the new era. But again: I don’t have any rumors so far.
