The most asked question I got in regards to Fujifilm X100VI rumors was: will it have IBIS?
And frankly, being a photography first camera, I was a bit surprised to see that the IBIS question was the most urgent one.
Anyway, today you’ll get the answer.
And it’s an accurate one, because it is checked with multiple trusted sources (and also new and anonymous ones have told us the same).
TOKYO, January 22, 2024 – FUJIFILM Corporation (President and CEO, Representative Director: Teiichi Goto), a global leader in photography and imaging, today announced the Strategic Partnership with the World Press Photo Foundation, which includes Fujifilm’s sponsorship of the World Press Photo Foundation’s prestigious World Press Photo Contests as well as expert-led workshops during the organization’s global exhibitions*1. The World Press Photo Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization based in the Netherlands that provides a global platform for photojournalists and documentary photographers to communicate trustworthy storytelling that reflects the times, through the power of photography, to a global audience.
As part of this partnership, global winners in each of the four categories*2 of the World Press Photo contest will win state-of-the-art FUJIFILM GFX System large format camera and equipment:
There are reports shared at the Japanese website Asobinet, that Viltrox lenses stop working on Fujifilm X-T5 after the latest firmware update.
A couple of hours ago I asked in our huge X-T group if anyone is experiencing such issues.
Some members tested the new firmware on their Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 and Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 and did not notice any malfunction.

Back in April 2023, I made a list of which sensor I’d like in which future Fujifilm camera.
And I am happy to hear from trusted and new sources (THANKS!!!), that Fujifilm fulfilled my wish in terms of sensor for the Fujifilm X100VI.
So which one is it?
Well, according to trusted as well as new sources, Fujifilm will put the lovely 40MP X-Trans V sensor into the Fujifilm X100VI.
The additional resolution will allow you to crop in more into the files, which can be useful at times and just a bit more of flexibility to the fixed lens concept of the X100.
Of course provided that the lens is actually capable of resolving all those 40MP, which I have no doubts about, because it is a fairly new lens (refreshed with the X100V) and because I doubt Fujifilm would have used the 40MP sensor on the Fujifilm X100VI, if the lens would not have been capable to take advantage of it.
And since the lens on the X100VI is the same of the X100V, you’ll also be able to use the Fujifilm WCL-X100 and TCL-X100 conversion lenses on the Fujifilm X100VI.
So, more crop capability plus conversion lenses give a little bit extra flexibility to the Fujifilm X100VI.
And also the dynamic range will profit from the new 40MP sensor a bit.
So Fujifilm just officially announced the next Fujifilm X Summit for February 20.
And according to our sources, for sure we will get the Fujifilm X100VI on February 20.
Will we get even more?
Well, at the moment I don’t know it. But what I know is that Fujifilm has LOTS of stuff in the pipeline for the first months of 2024.
In fact, we confirm: Fujifilm will announce more cameras in the first months of 2024 than in the entire year 2023. Which means “3 or more” cameras.
We also told you that the successor of this camera here is the next MILC camera to be launched, as we reported here.
And last but not least, we already leaked the images of the next XF lens that Fujifilm will launch, which will be the replacement of this lens here. If you want you can see the images here plus read additional specs here.
Finally, there are lenses on the official Fujifilm roadmap for 2024 and other gear that could come (but we don’t really have solid rumors about them for now). We shared a big Fujifilm 2024 overview here.
I will try to figure out exactly what will come.
But for sure I can tell you now: the Fujifilm X100VI is scheduled for February 20 announcement.
