Can You Trust FujiRumors?

Another year is over.

And it was another year filled with rumors.

But the true question now is: was FujiRumors even worth your time? Were our rumors accurate? Or did I fell to the temptation to share fake (and even AI generated) rumors for the sake of traffic?

Well, there is only one way to find it out: check every single rumor we have shared in 2025 and see if it turned out to be right or wrong.

• 83 rumors shared in 2025
  
• 5 rumor still to be verified
• 76 correct rumors out of 77 verifiable rumors
• 1 wrong rumor (half of the rumor – the more important one – was accurate, but the other half not)
  
• 1 rumor not in ranking
• 98,7% correct rumors

You’ll be the judge.

All I can say is a HUGE THANKS to everybody, who helped me out with the rumors. Without your guidance I’d be lost in a jungle of fake rumors… and the world of Fujifilm would be just way less fun and entertaining. :).

Corporate Propaganda?

And I can hear already some say: yes, you can trust in terms of rumors, but FujiRumors is biased and won’t cover the bad news around Fujifilm, since this blog just spreads corporate propaganda.

Well, to this critique I’ll only say that the most negative video about Fujifilm in 2025 was shared by Edvard. Well, as soon as that video went online, I worked for hours to make a lengthy and super accurate summary of this video in which I report about every single negative thing he says about Fujifilm, and published it instantly in full length and glory. So quite the opposite is true: even the most critical Fujifilm content gets maximum visibility on FujiRumors.

Sure, I love my Fujifilm gear. I guess that is easy to guess from many of my articles. But this does not prevent me from being objective or to express my negative opinions, as I recently did here.

Keep this in mind: this blog is run by a guy with zero connections to Fujifilm. Fujifilm does not pay me, does not send me free gear, does not invite me to events, does not request specific articles, does not give me early access to new products, does not offer me discounts, and does not lend me equipment.

The only support I get for what I do on FujiRumors comes from you, the guys reading these lines. And I owe you the best and most objective coverage on the known Fujifilm universe ;).
