Fujifilm X-Pro4 Delayed by High Expectations – Fujifilm Wants It to Be More Than Just an Upgrade

Petapixel shared the X-Pro related part of the interview they had with Fujifilm managers at CP+. You can read it here.

In short:

  • Fujifilm is aware of demand for X-Pro3 successor
  • New X-Pro will come, but Fujifilm does not want it to be just a small “boring” update
  • the new X-Pro needs something which would satisfy the expert users
  • it would be boring to just put the 40MP and X Processor 5 in the X-Pro and call it X-Pro4
  • it should be a worthy upgrade
  • X100VI got IBIS and 40MP, hence introduced noticeable changes to the X100 line
  • Fujifilm has spent lots of time in thinking about X-Pro4, and during that time expectations kept expanding, making it harder for Fujifilm to live up to those expectations.
  • “the longer it takes to develop it, the more difficult it will be to please fans of the series“
  • “we probably made it difficult for ourselves, because we perhaps made the X-Pro too special.”

Fuji Guy Billy said already back in 2024 that the Fujifilm X-Pro4 needs to be something special. So the interview today confirms that.

Fujifilm X100VI Production Boost Moves Closer to Fulfilling Backorders

The Fujifilm X100VI enjoyed an extraordinary success, with pre-orders reaching levels that even Sony, Canon or Nikon could never dream of getting with any of their cameras.

Of course, this lead to a massive backorder and consequently, for many the only option so far was to purchase the Fujifilm X100VI highly overpriced via third parties or to wait many months to get it shipped after pre-order.

Fujifilm has consistently increased production, but it was not so easy, especially due to a curious fact that Fujifilm disclosed in an interview to Petapixel.

  • Fujifilm has more than doubled our production compared to the previous model
  • now more than 15,000 units per month are produced
  • it is complicated to increase production, especially for pieces like the top plate, which requires many processes
  • X100VI is not suited for ramping up production quickly
  • in 1 year Fujifilm has shipped as many units as for previous models in 3 or 4 years
  • Fujifilm understands that the wait is frustration, but first day pre-orders were very big
  • Fujifilm is doing its best and getting closer on clearing backorders
  • Fujifilm invites people to wait and not to purchase the overpriced units on the market

So, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

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.
