Fujifilm X-T50 and XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 to be Announced on May 16

Not only the Fujifilm GFX100SII.

In fact, according to our trusted sources, Fujifilm will announce also the Fujifilm X-T50 and the new kit lens, the XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8, at the X Summit on May 16.

Fujifilm GFX100SII goes Retro or PSAM? Here is the Answer!

Fujifilm GFX100SII

If there is one camera I am asking for since a long time, than it’s a GFX100 that looks like a Fujifilm X-T camera.

A camera that Fujifilm had actually already shown us in form of a mockup here.

And when FujiRumors started to share the first Fujifilm GFX100SII rumors, suddenly “rumors” about the GFX100SII started to appear pretty much everywhere.

One of them was shared here, and it was given to us 100% rocksolid. The rumor said the Fujifilm GFX100SII will certainly have a retro layout like the X-T5.

Of course I was super excited about it and at the same time hopeful that our sources would confirm it.

Well, now our sources have spoken. Trusted sources. And here is what they have to say about.

The Fujifilm GFX100SII will not use retro dials, but have the usual PSAM dial we already know from the new GFX100II as well as the GFX100S and GFX50SII.

Don’t get me wrong: PSAM cameras are easy and fast to operate. Nobody denies that. And I can live happily with my PSAM styled GFX100S cameras. It would just be even more fun (and better looking) if it would have retro dials.

Fujifilm X-T50 First Image Leaked (Sort Of)

On the Chinese Weibo platform the first image of the Fujifilm X-T30II successor has leaked.

We know since a over a month now that it will be called Fujifilm X-T50, and I guess that, if this image is legit, then this kind of confirms our rumor.

Fujifilm X Summit on May 16: What is Coming and What Not, What is Rumored and What We Hope For

So Fujifilm has announced the Fujifilm X summit for May 16.

We reported about it earlier today and in that article I also said that our sources told us the Fujifilm GFX100SII will be announced on that day.

Now the question came up if that’s the only gear Fujifilm will announce. So let me try to give you an answer.

First things first: so far I have only been told about the Fujifilm GFX100SII coming mid May.

However, we also know Fujifilm has other gear in the pipeline for the first half of 2024:

The questions are:

  • will Fujifilm announce it all together?
  • does Fujifilm prefer to give the GFX100SII a dedicated launch day, and make a separate announcement for the X-T50 and the new kit lens?
  • did I share a wrong rumor?

Well… don’t worry. We don’t share wrong rumors here. Everything will happen as we tell you it will.

But I will contact our sources and see what they have to say about it. And as soon as I can I will share an update here on FujiRumors.

And beyond that?

Well, the only gear Fujifilm has pre-announced, is the Fujinon GF500mmF5.6, but that one is listed on the official G mount roadmap as coming sometimes in 2024. So it could be on May 16, but also later on.

What’s not coming is definitely the Fujifilm X-Pro4 and also no Fujifilm GFX100R.

Hopes?

Well, I am growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of a new X mount roadmap. I keep asking for a new one since years and Fujifilm keeps ignoring our wishes. So at this point I have no expectations anymore.

Anyway… answers will come. Some of them on May 16, but many other answers will come well before that.

Stay tuned on FujiRumors ;).
