Fujifilm X-S20 is Coming (but When?) – Some Clarifications and Speculations

We confirm 100% what we already told you: the next Fujifilm X series camera to come will be the Fujifilm X-S20.

But when exactly will be announced?

Will it happen during the Fujifilm X Summit in April as many would guess (me included)?

Well, why not. The X summit in April is definitely a very hot candidate for the X-S20 announcement.

But just to be clear and precise: our sources only said that the Fujifilm X-S20 will be Fuji’s next X series camera, and they did not give us any further time indication, which is why right now in theory everything is still possible, even an announcement before or after the X summit in April (as well as during the X summit of course).

Also, our sourced said “X series camera”, hence we talk about Fuji’s APS-C lineup.

Last thing: the fact that the X-S20 will be the next X camera to come does not exclude that also other cameras could be announced on the same day.

I know, lots of questions and speculations. I will now work on all of this and once I have solid updates, I will let you know.

Fujinon XF 500mmF8 OIS Patent Found

Fujifilm has filed a patent for a Fujinon XF500mm f/8 OIS lens.

The f/8 aperture would make it a very portable long telephoto option similar to what Canon offers with their Canon RF 800mm F11 IS STM and Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM.

What I know is that the FujiRumors community wishes mostly for a Fujinon XF 400mm f/4 lens. But feel free to let us know what you’d think about an eventual Fujinon XF500mm f/8.

Fujifilm Promises Major Firmware Updates also for X-T5 and X-H2: New AF System of X-H2s? (and Where the Catch is)

The Promise

Fujifilm has released a major firmware update for the Fujifilm X-H2s.

From the tests we could see so far, we can now say that the autofocus tracking is about at the same level of the very best (but much more expensive) full frame cameras out there. Not perfect, like nothing, so improve it further, Fuji!

The question I now get TONS of times via email is: will my Fujifilm camera “xy” also get the same firmware of the Fujifilm X-H2s?

So here is what I can say about it.

During the recent new years greetings, right after launching the new X-H2s firmware, Fujifilm also promised major firmware updates will come for other 5th generation cameras, too.

5th generation cameras are all those cameras featuring the new 5th generation processor, which at the moment are:

So, while Fujifilm did not specifically mention the new AF system, it is easy to assume that major firmware coming in 2023 for X-T5 and X-H2 might include also the vastly improved AF algorithm.

But again, that’s not a rumor, but an educated guess based on what managers officially said here.

Where is the Catch?

Fujifilm X Summit in April: What’s Coming? Drop Your Guess!

Fujifilm not only announced a couple of new firmware updates, including rather substantial ones (read here), but they also announced the Fujifilm X Summit for April 2023.

Usually, when Fujifilm announces an X Summit, FujiRumors already rumored ahead what will come.

But this time I have not yet published anything, which makes it very interesting for me to see what your guesses are (and how good they will turn out to be).

What will really come?

Well, just stay tuned on FujiRumors for that ;).
