As soon as I am at home today (it won’t take that long) I will drop a major Fujifilm X-T5 rumor. I want to be online to see your reaction when the rumor drops.

Dave Etchells from Imaging Resource met five Japanese Fujifilm managers: Yujiro Igarashi, Makoto Oishi, Jun Watanabe, Kuniko Åo and Shu Amano.
And when 5 managers are needed to answer the questions of 1 single person, you know it’s going to be a very in depth and technical talk.
In fact, it ends up in a 8,000 words interview that I have summed up down below in 1,470 words.
Some notes and considerations ahead of it:
Fujifilm says they are working on updating the camera remote App, especially to make it work better with older cameras. They did NOT say they are working on an all new App. But FujiRumors has already shared a rumor that there will be an all new App!
Fujifilm aimed to make the GFX system smaller, and the GFX50R served that purpose. Now the GFX100S is perceived as small enough, and so they see “less need for something even more compact“. But they also add “we always look at the market to see if there’s a need to introduce something“. My impression based on this interview is that they currently have no plans for a GFX100R, but they don’t entirely want to rule out this possibility. And in fact, given how well the GFX100S is selling, Fujifilm has no hurry at all to take decisions right now.
These are just two personal notes on what you’ll read below. But there is really a lot more interesting stuff… like how Fujifilm did work to train the new AF and much more.
Different sensor sizes, or different megapixel, or different features, or different sensor technology, or different price range, or different…. you got it, there is always something.
But since comparing the very same camera with the very same firmware would be awefully boring, I thought we enter the world of unfair comparisons and compare the upcoming 40 megapixel Fujifilm X-H2 with other 8K capable mirrorless cameras.
Of course the specs list of the Fujiiflm X-H2 is not complete. Nokishita will soon take care of it and help us to extend it and when that happens I will share an updated article.
However, even now we have quite some core specs available, which help us to get a very clear idea on how the X-H2 will perform.
Fujifilm X Summit on September 8 at 2PM New York Time – LIVE on fujirumors.com
In theory August should be the month of holidays, but with 67 articles published in 31 days, it looks like here on FujiRumors we worked harder than ever.
A work that was well worth it, as it lead to tons of rumors and several articles of high interest for you.
So I’ll share today the top 10 articles for August that you should not have missed… and if you did, you’d better give it a look now.
So there are still two more lenses missing, the wide-angle zoom (very likely to be the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8) and an unkown telephoto zoom.
Well, according to information we have received, the wait for one of the two lenses should soon be over as Tamron is going to launch a telephoto zoom for Fujifilm X mount within 2022.
