Fujifilm X Summit March 20 at 5AM New York Time (11AM Berlin Time)

Ok, I noticed a bit of confusion after the X Summit announced on March 20 in Las Vegas at 10:30 AM here.

So let me clarify.

The “true” X Summit will take place in Prague (and live streamed on FujiRumors.com) on:

  • March 20 at 5 AM New York time
  • March 20 at 11 AM Berlin time

That’s when the Fujifilm GFX100RF will be officially announced.

The X Summit in Las Vegas is kind of a follow-up event for the Fujifilm GFX100RF launch. But at the time that Summit starts, we will know everything already about the Fujifilm GFX100RF.
