About Those Fujifilm X-T6, X-H3S, X-Pro4 “Rumors” and the Truth Behind Them

Fujifilm Rumors

Today I have received what I believe is the 179th message by a FR-reader telling me about massive Fujifilm X-T6, X-H3S, X-Pro4 and more leaks that appear all over YouTube.

And since time is the most precious thing, I will no longer reply individually to those message, but instead I’ll make one single article, this one, and just link it if people ask me about it in future.

So what’s the deal.

Over the last few months tons of videos keep appearing on the internet claiming to have all possible exclusive specs and leaks on upcoming Fujifilm gear. And surprisingly many people take them seriously (and I will explain why below).

But here is the truth: none of the videos you see is real. They are all fake, scripted and created by AI.

Everything they say in them is fake and wrong. The only correct thing in those videos is if AI takes something published on FujiRumors and uses it for its script.

Initially I decided to just ignore them, but the amount of messages I am getting is just too high, so I need to address it once for all.

Look, these guys use AI to create fake clickbait videos and make some money out of your good faith and trust. It’s up to you to decide if you want to reward them for misleading you by watching their videos, or just to straight out ignore their videos.

The true rumors, may them come from FujiRumors or other sources (which we will quote), you’ll always find them here on FujiRumors. You can relax, ignore those videos and just follow FujiRumors.

Why People take these Videos Seriously

I don’t blame anyone for taking these “rumors” seriously—in the end, it’s my responsibility.

Why?

Because over the years, FujiRumors has built a near 100% accuracy rate with rumors.

As a result, people now associate “rumor” with “this must be true.”

The downside? Since our rumors are so reliable, people start believing just every rumor they come across online. Because rumors are usually true, right?

But it’s important to differentiate and consider who is actually sharing the rumor.

But you don’t have to go through the cumbersome process of trying to figure out which rumors are correct and which ones not. Let me just do it for you. If I stumble on something that has some substance, I will share it for you here on FujiRumors and of course give you the source, so you can see yourself who is accurate.

And then there are always our kind sources, who will guide us through the thick jungle of rumors and show us the right path.

So guys, everything you need to know, you’ll always find it on FujiRumors.

Spare your time and use it wiser. I recommend you not to follow those fake channels. Just refresh FujiRumors every now and then. ;)

Viltrox AF 25mm F1.7 AIR APS-C Lens Coming February 28

Viltrox has just announced that a new member of their Viltrox AIR family will join on February 28.

They do not mention the lens itself, but we know from an official Viltrox post we shared here, that the Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 APS-C lens is coming soon.

The Viltrox AF 25mm f/1.7 AIR lens will join the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 and Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.7 as part of Viltrox lightweight and compact AIR lens lineup.

One more lens without aperture ring ;).

Fujifilm’s Half Frame Camera Coming with Vertical LCD

Look guys, this camera is vastly a mystery also for me.

All I know is that it has a 1″ sensor and that Fujifilm will market it as a “half-frame” camera.

But don’t ask me if it will be like a digital version of the Pentax 17 half frame or look more like the  Yashica Samurai X3.0.

A little detail I can add today: it has a vertical LCD on the back of the camera.

If you want to know a bit more in detail how this camera is supposed to function, check out our previous rumor here.

Share Rumors and Chat 100% Anonymously with FujiRumors via SIGNAL

Last year we launched a convenient and 100% anonymous way to chat directly with FujiRumors: a dedicated Signal account.

Yes, the rumor box is always there for you, too, if you want to write me 100% anonymously.

But the advantage of Signal is that through Signal I can also reply to you and we can actually talk to each other… all of this 100% anonymously.

Since its launch, a couple of new sources (that now became trusted) have reached out to us via Signal, and overall it’s just a great way to get and keep in touch to talk rumors and future gear.

All of it 100% anonymously because:

  • while you need your phone number to register, Signal doesn’t share it with me or anyone else
  • you can use a nickname to contact me

If you want to get in touch with me using Signal

Signal can be downloaded on your Phone, but you can use it also on your desktop (it’s required that you have the App installed on your phone already). You can download Signal for Desktop here.

And of course, you can also contact me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com and via PM on other social media (facebook & Co). Those are not anonymous, but it does not change anything, because only I’d know who you are and my top priority in any case and always is to keep all my sources 100% anonymous anyway.

Thanks for everybody who considers to help me out with the rumors, no matter in which way you’ll choose to do that.

Fujikina Prague March 22/23: Go Hands on with Fujifilm GFX100RF (and More?)

Fujikina Prague

Following the Fujifilm X Summit on March 20 (as FR told you exclusively here), there will be the Fujikina on March 22/23 in Prague.

This will be the first event in which Fujifilm will publicly display the latest Fujifilm X and GFX gear, with the Fujifilm GFX100RF probably being the main course of the meal.

You can book your ticket here.

Fujikina ≠ X Summit

Most of the Fujikina events are standalone events, meaning they are not scheduled close to product launches.

For example, last year we had:

  • Fujikina Berlin – April 6
  • Fujikina Manila – April 27
  • Fujikina Arles –  June 18
  • Fujikina Barcelona – November 17

All these Fujikina events happened several weeks or even months away from any Fujifilm announcement (there were a total of 3 X Summits in 2024).

So, it’s a fact: most Fujikina events are not scheduled in proximity of new product launches.

Fujikina Reports Lack – Why?

The fact that most Fujikina events do not coincide with new product launches is also the main reason why I stopped reporting about Fujikina events.

The reason is simple: I noticed that if I share them on FujiRumors, people assume that new gear will be announced ahead of that Fujikina event.

And since I don’t want to create false hopes or misunderstandings, I only report about Fujikina events that coincide with new gear launches.

I Can Change That

I find it a pity not to report about Fujikina events, even if in most cases they are totally unrelated to new product launches.

So I am considering to change my position and report about future events.

But it has to be clear to all FujiRumors readers: if I report about a Fujikina event, I don’t also mean to say that new gear must be announced around then. On the contrary, in most cases do not expect to see any new gear there.

If that is clear, I will report about all possible Fujikina events again.

Back to Prague

But this time, at the Fujikina in Prague, you can be sure to see brand new gear.

So you can book your spot if you want to be one of the first to touch & try the Fujifilm GFX100RF…. and who knows what else. ;)

Happy to help you out with your travel plans ;)
