Fujifilm X-E4 will Not have a Fully Articulating Screen like X-S10/X-T4

Looks like some fellow X-Shooters are so impatient, that they photoshopped their holiday wish on an X-E3 box - via Fujifilm X-E facebook group

Fujifilm X-E4

A few weeks ago we broke the rumor that the Fujifilm X-E4 will not have a fixed screen.

Among the 180+ comments shared in that article, some were surprised, as this would be the first X-E camera after the X-E1, X-E2, X-E2S and X-E3 not to have a fixed screen, whereas others feared/hoped for a fully articulating screen like Fujifilm X-T4 and X-S10, given the 2020 rise of selfie screens.

Now sources would like me to clarify that the X-E4 will not have a fully articulating screen like the one the X-S10 or X-T4.

As a former owner of all X-E cameras (except X-E2s), I would have been totally fine with a fixed screen, but depending on which design Fujifilm chooses, I could be happy also with a non-fixed screen. I wrote my preferences here.

MARK THIS DATE: Big Fujifilm Announcements on January 27

Yes, I know. Nokishita spotted that a mysterious FF200003 camera that is said to be announced on January 29.

But, trust me, that’s not the date you should watch out for.

Now please take your calender and mark the following date: January 27!

That’s the day when Fujifilm will make have huge announcements and hence the day you should drop whatever you were planing to do and glue in front of FujiRumors ;).

That, my dear friends, I will let you know later on once I get it all multiple confirmed and I can be sure that what I tell you is 100% accurate.

FujiRumors told you already back in March that Fujifilm is working on a Fujinon XF70-300mm and we shared in April that will be an F4-5.6 lens.

The development of the Fujinon XF70-300mm F4-5.6  has been finally announced by Fujifilm during the Fujifilm X Summit on October 15.

On the latest X mount roadmap, Fujifilm just vaguely said the lens will come sometimes in 2021.

Well, time to be less vague here on FujiRumors ;).

In fact, trusted sources told us that the Fujinon XF70-300mm f4-5.6 will come in early 2021!

We have already covered several aspects of this lens:

CORRECTION: Fujifilm X-T3 is NOT Discontinued but Certain Variations Maybe Harder to Find

Here is what happened.

Two days ago a fellow Fujifilm X Shooter contacted me, saying that his local store told him the following:

  1. the Fujifilm X-T3 has been removed from the list of current Winter deals, hence the $500 rebate is gone
  2. the Fujifilm X-T3 has been discontinued

So first thing I did was to check the Fujifilm deals page, and indeed, the X-T3 no longer showed up among the rebated cameras.

I then wrote this article, where I informed you about the X-T3 deal being removed and that a local store spread the news the X-T3 is now discontinued.

However, trusted sources immediately reached out to me and yes, they confirmed the removal from the deals list of the X-T3, but they also clearly told me that the X-T3 has not been discontinued but some X-T3 variations (kit combinations) maybe harder to find from now on.

Also, I have been told that the real reason Fujifilm removed the X-T3 deals is that the demand for X-T3 is very high and Fujifilm can’t keep up with it.

So it was important to set things right for you guys.
