MARK THIS DATE: Fujifilm X Summit on May 24

Still today, the official position of Fujifilm is that there will be an X summit in April.

But if you follow FujiRumors, you’ll know that the X Summit in April has been canceled and that there will be an X summit in May.

I have no idea why Fujifilm is not correcting the date, but you have to trust me on this.

Today we can also tell you the exact date of the announcement: the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on May 24.

This comes from trusted sources, so I have no doubts that the date is accurate. Unless Fujifilm decides to cancel it again.

Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 for Fujifilm X Mount Coming Soon

Viltrox is teasing their lens roadmap for the second quarter of 2023.

The roadmap includes the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 XF for Fujifilm X mount.

Let us know in the comments what you think about it. As a lover of the 27mm focal length myself (and owner of two 27mm lenses, this one and this one), I am definitely looking forward to see how this new Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 will turn out to be.

LEAKED: This is the Sensor of the Fujifilm X-S20

Let’s talk Fujifilm X-S20.

And more precisely, let’s share the probably most important rumor I can share about it: the sensor it will have.

According to trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-S20 will feature the 26MP BSI X-Trans IV sensor, so exactly the same sensor we currently have on the Fujifilm X-T4, X-T3, X-S10 and many other Fujifilm cameras.

As an owner of the 40MP Fujifilm X-T5 sensor, my personal wish would be to see that sensor in as many future Fujifilm X series cameras as possible, but I am well aware that many of you consider the combo 26MP + X-Processor 5 to be the best option for the Fujifilm X-S20.

Why?

Well, I have written about it in depth here:

So, there are Pros and Cons in the choice Fujifilm made, which makes me definitely curious to see what the Fujifilm X-S20 will be able to deliver by using this combo.

NOTE: I don’t have rumors about the processor on the Fujifilm X-S20, but I assume it will use the X-Processor 5.
