Firmware Update for Fujifilm X-T5, X-T50, X-S20, X100VI and GFX100SII

What a shame.

First they broke the camera with a firmware update, and now the charge us $700+ to get if fixed.

Oh wait, no. That’s actually what Sony did :D.*

Back to us: Fujifilm has just released the firmware update that they promised would come within this year. Right in time for Christmas ;).

Down below you can check out which cameras got a firmware update and what they bring.

*Note: Sony is great and fantastic. I just made this joking comment to show that all brand can mess it up with firmware updates. We just tend to look only at our little small Fujifilm world, but if we were to look around elsewhere, we would find issues with firmware at any brand. This does not change the fact that Fujifilm messed it up and acted slow.

Save $400 on Fujifilm GFX100SII at Amazon

 

Amazon US is currently offering a $399 rebate on the Fujifilm GFX100SII. The coupon code discount will be applied at checkout.

At the moment, neither BHphoto here nor Adorama here are offering this rebate. It is also not listed by Fujifilm in the list of official deals. So it seems to be available at Amazon US only.

Fujifilm Early Fall GFX Deals, or When a $1,600 Rebate on GFX100S is Not Enough

Fujifilm has just launched their “Early Fall” deals.

The list of deals until now is very short. Here it is:

These are basically the same old deals on these items we have since months now.

Look, I own the GFX100S and in theory a $1,600 would be a great deal.

But there is one problem: there is camera out there called Fujifilm GFX100S II, which comes with a new processor and a superior autofocus, a better EVF and overall just a specs bump that I believe is worth the $600 you pay more for it compared to the rebated GFX100S.

The Fujifilm GFX100S (which I own), is still a wonderful camera. That’s why I think Fujifilm should just go crazy with it and offer it at $3,000!

Sure, they might not make a penny out of it, but at such a price, the GFX100S would be a crazy good deal and it would certainly bring lots of new users into the GFX system. Users who’d then buy lenses and eventually upgrade to more modern GFX bodies.

Listen to me, Fujifilm… just do it! Sell it for 3K! You’d see lots of Full Frame users getting tempted at that price ;).

So, at the end, do I recommend to buy the GFX100S at that price?

Well, these might seem a strange answer, considering it comes from a guy who is very happy with his GFX100S. But my answer is “no”. If Fujfiilm listens to me and offers it for 3K, then it would a no brainer to recommend. But as it stands now, if you really want to buy into the GFX system, then the probably best camera to get into it is the Fujifilm GFX100S II, or, if you want the ultimate GFX, then the GFX100 II.
