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 ;).

We told you that the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on February 20, 2024.

I thought it could be nice to see what your top wish is as far as announcements goes.

So I took all the Fujifilm gear listed on our Fujifilm 2024 overview and made a survey out of it.

To see more in detail which gear will surely come, which maybe, and which one probably not, check out our full Fujifilm 2024 overview article.

With that said, now drop your vote :).
