Mid-2020 Rumor Check: What We Got Right, What Wrong and What’s Still to Come… and About the Fujifilm X-T3 Firwmare Update

Rumors 2020

Half a year of rumors is over, and it was probably the most successful we ever had on FujiRumors.

With a total amount of 44 rumors shared, we are currently sharing more rumors than ever in the years before.

The Fujifilm X-T4 was without a doubt the big one in 2020, and I frankly can’t remember if FR ever leaked so much about one single camera, as we did with the Fujifilm X-T4.

At this point BIG thanks to all our sources, for helping me to keep the Fuji X community on fire. Being a Fuji X/GFX shooter is just more fun, if every now and then we get something hot to talk about… ;).

But…

Sharing rumors is one thing, sharing accurate rumors is another. And since we don’t want you to believe in fake rumors like the death of Fujifilm X-H2 or fake X-T3 firmware leak 4.00, we try to honor the time you decide to spend reading FujiRumors by delivering dry and verified rumors.

Did it work out well so far in 2020?

Let’s check it:

  • 497 blog post published so far in 181 days (about 3 blog posts a day)

Fujifilm’s Firmware Love Ain’t Over Yet: X-T4 and GFX100 Firmware Coming Soon… and More?

I have told you a back in May, that Fujifilm is going to deliver a couple of firmware updates in June.

Now Fujifilm started to deliver.

The Fujifilm X-A7 and X-T200 made the start.

However, we confirm that there will be at least two more firmware updates: one for Fujifilm X-T4 and another one for Fujifilm GFX100. Both should happen within late June.

Will this be all?

Well, I write about Fujifilm cameras on FR since almost a decade now, and the past experience has shown, that Fujifilm likes to organize some massive “download firmware parties” that include several cameras.

To be clear: I do not have specific information so far, but I would not be surprised, if Fujifilm would update even more cameras.

What I am sure, though, is…

… that the very same second new firmware will be released, you will read about it on FujiRumors, no matter when it happens. Let’s say my sixth sense will let know when things are going to happen ;).

So, if…

… if you belong to that group of people, who’d like to get the information instantly and accurately, then I strongly recommend you to stay tuned on FujiRumors.

Fujinon GF30mmF3.5 vs GF23mmF4 vs GF45mmF2.8 Specs and Size Comparison

Fujinon GF30mm f/3.5

With the latest specs and price leak about the upcoming Fujinon GF 30mm f/3.5, I thought it could make sense to compare the lens with its immediate “focal length neighbors“, meaning the Fujinon GF23mm f/4 and the Fujinon GF 45mm f/2.8.

So I added both lenses to the BHphoto specs comparison tool and added the leaked specs for the GF30mm f/3.5 to it.

Down below you can see the specs comparison as well as a size comparison I made a while back here, based on technical sketches delivered by Fujifilm.

The lens will be announced soon.

Don’t worry, FujiRumors will be ready to live blog right at announcement. Trust me. ;)
