Fujifilm has released firmware updates for Fujifilm X-T4, X-T3, X-S10, X-T30II and GFX50SII.
And because I know some of you might ask where the promised Kaizen firmware is (or when it will come):
All details and download links below.
Most people and all websites are calling the successor to the Fujifilm X-T30II the “Fujifilm X-T40“.
However, according to our sources, there will be no Fujifilm X-T40, because the X-T30II successor will be called Fujifilm X-T50.
That makes sense to me, because it belongs to the 5th generation Fujifilm cameras (with 5th generation processor, AF goodness etc).
And yes, I know. The X-H2, X-H2S and X-S20 are also part of the 5th generation Fujifilm lineup, and yet they don’t feature the numeral “5” in their names. However, transitioning directly from X-H1/X-S10 to X-H5/X-S50 would likely have been too big of jump. In this case, it makes sense to maintain the “2” designation, indicating the second generation of this series.
So, from now, shall we call it the Fujifilm X-T50.
The Fujifilm X-T50 will be the next APS-C camera that Fujifilm will launch.

Vistek just hosted a Fujifilm X Summit After Show with Fuji Guy Billy.
They talk of course mainly about the Fujifilm X100VI, but also about other stuff, such as which lenses Fuji Guy Billy thinks Fujifilm should do in future, he talks a bit about the Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 (which thanks to our sources we have leaked here) and also talked about what he thinks about an eventual Fujifilm X-T30II successor (which we started leaking here) and the long awaited Fujifilm X-Pro4 (which we started leaking here).
Above you can see the whole 55 minutes video and below you get a summary:
Here are the top 10 articles for February.
Fujifilm X100VI in Stock Check
Johnnie from CineD is probably one of the nicest persons I have had the pleasure to e-meet in all these years of blogging.
And I know he truly loves Fujifilm and uses Fuji cameras for his personal and professional work.
But there is one thing where I respectfully disagree with him: Fujifilm does not need to make any dedicated video camera, as Johnnie also recently asked Fujifilm for. And I tell you why.
The absence of a dedicated video camera in Fujifilm’s lineup, allows Fujifilm to pack everything they can in terms of video specifications into their hybrid mirrorless cameras. This strategy avoids any potential internal competition with a separate cinema camera lineup. In contrast, companies like Sony and Canon may restrict certain specs and features in their hybrid cameras to safeguard the sales of their dedicated cinema cameras.
In short: if Fujifilm would offer cinema cameras, you could forget the X-H2S and X-H2 to be such powerful hybrid cameras. Or in future the Fujifilm X-H3 and Fujifilm X-H3S.
Indeed, the Fujifilm X-T4 already proves to be an exceptionally robust hybrid camera, as demonstrated today, thanks to an email I have received from fellow FR-reader Angel, which I share below.

My name is Angel Alvarez, my team and I just finished post production on an indie feature that we shot entirely on the Fujifilm X-T4 (save for 1 drone shot). A camera that I got excited about because of your website.
I could write pages on how I find the color rendering from Fuji much better than that of Blackmagic or even RED cameras, but to summarize; the X-T4 performed greatly and far exceeded my expectations. Granted, I encountered a few problems with it, but it was to be expected given the amount of stress we put it through.
I’d like to share with you a few frames from our film as well as a couple BTS stills that I’ve attached to this email.
You can also find the trailer below.
This film is a labor of love that took three years to complete. I hope I’m not overstepping, but if you enjoy what you see, and you think it’s worth your time, we’d be extremely grateful if you could do a post about it.
No, we will not hear anything about the Fujifilm X-Pro4 on February 20. Nothing.
And nothing also about the Fujifilm X-E5, or X-T40 or X-T300, or X80, or GFX100R.
The truth is this: the only camera to be announced on February 20 will be the Fujifilm X100VI.
I guess the Fujifilm X100VI is just too important for Fujifilm and it’s best that it does not get any distraction from other cameras on launch day.
Many of you guys might have seen it coming, due to the lack of rumors about other cameras.
But FujiRumors will make sure that the lack of rumors about other cameras will end soon ;).
But this does not mean we can’t get any surprises on February 20.
I still hope (no rumor) that Fujifilm will give us a new X mount roadmap, or makes major Kaizen firmware announcements, or they could even announce new lenses considering the fact that our sources said the X100VI is the only camera coming on February 20 (and we have leaked images of future XF lenses already months ago). But to be clear: as of now, I have not received information about other gear to come on February 20 (which does not mean it can’t come).
And Fujifilm has also teased a major XApp update, which hopefully might also be announced on February 20 (not a rumor, just a hope).
But they could also show us protoypes of gear to come.
As far as I can remember, at every X Summit something happened that I did not see coming, and I am confident that also this time we will get some surprises.
So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors on February 20. We will cover it all, and you won’t miss anything.

Fujifilm has registered the FF230003, so we now have a total of two unreleased products registered:
Ah, that’s not enough!!!
Because as we told you, Fujifilm will announce more cameras in the first months of 2024 than in the entire year of 2023 (hence 3 or even more cameras in just a few months).
So there are still registrations missing here, trust me ;).
And we also told you (many months ago) what one of the cameras will be: the Fujifilm X100V successor (which you guys decided to call Fujifilm X100R).
Now, I can see the “rumors” about the Fujifilm GFX100R, Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm X-T6, Fujifilm X-T40, Fujifilm X80, Fujifilm X-H3, Fujifilm X-H3S and more pop up. But those “rumors” appeared also ahead of the X Summit on May 24 and September 12, and of course none (not a single one!!!) of them materialized. But I guess misleading readers for traffic and good SEO is a great deal for them.
Here on FujiRumors we don’t mislead you with fake rumors.
Here we will tell you the real deal, and you will know it all very soon (promised!!!).

We just told you that there will be no more Fujifilm announcements in 2023.
And since in terms of new gear we are done for this year, lots of people started asking me what is coming in 2024.
Now, I am working on it, and we have shared already something.
For example we told you that the next XF lens to come is the replacement of this lens here.
More rumors will follow.
But as you know, on FujiRumors we will not make up a single rumor just to make traffic, nor share anonymous rumors we receive in which I don’t trust.
We prefer to share less rumors, generate less traffic, make less money, and value your time with less, but accurate rumors.
But until more rumors drop, I thought we could also make one single article where we talk about the current state of the rumors and also make speculation on what could or we would like to come in 2024.
Fujifilm has updated its list of recommended UHS-II SD-Cards and CFexpress Type B cards for Fujifilm GFX100 II, Fujifilm X-H2S and Fujifilm X-H2. You’ll find the detailed list in printed format below as well as in downloadable jpeg format also for Fujifilm X-T5 and X-T4.
But beware!
Not all CFexpress Type B cards are made equal.
Out of all the CFexpress Type B cards listed by Fujifilm, only the ones we highlight now give you access to the best performance without any limitations (longest bursts, access to all video codec, etc).
Overall Best CFexpress Type B Cards according to Fujifilm (no performance limitations)
Best SD-Cards
As far as SD-Card goes, depending on the camera you own, the recommended cards are slightly different.
For example, some SD-Cards recommended for the Fujifilm X-T4 (for example the Toshiba Exceria Pro) are now no longer recommended for the 40 megapixel Fujifilm X-T5. The updated list for X-T5 contains:
The detailed list of recommended cards for X-T5 can be found here and for X-T4 here.
