[UPDATE] Godox Update: More Details about Fujifilm TTL/HSS Support (Including New X2 Trigger for Fujifilm in July)

Godox Fujifilm Support

For an entire month, the news was somewhere hidden on CheetahStand facebook page, until an attentive FR-reader (thanks) finally spotted it and shared it with us here. The news is now spreading quickly on the web, as usual ;) .

Anyway, since we broke the news today that Godox is working on Fujifilm support, something is moving, and more details just appeard on the web, always via CheetahStand here:

“Olympus and Panasonic TTL/HSS remote for Cheetah X series light come out first…I will test on May….Fuji coming right after that….Stay tuned“

Also FR-sources (thanks) quickly dropped me emails. Here is what I got from them:

  • The Godox X1 for Fujifilm will be released at the end of April, or beginning of May (HSS and TTL)
  • The new X2 trigger with Fujifilm support will be released in July

** UPDATE ** : More tidbits from the Cheetah page here:

“Godox will make TT350 first. I will test it…..If good move to V860X….If good make X1 and same time all X series will accept Olympus/Panasonic by firmware update….Same on Fuji“

The original Roadmap shared earlier today:

Godox Plan:
TT350 Olympus and Fuji April-May 2017.
If TT350 is good, Move to 685 and V860II.
If all is good move to X1 Fuji and X1 Olympus.
The same time firmware update for all 2.4G light accept Fuji and Olympus
AD200 60 bulb LED light head May-June 201

Godox Plans Major Fujifilm Support in April / May

CheetahStand (who sells rebranded Godox equipment under the name “Cheetah” – just like Samyang/Rokinon), published the Godox roadmap for Fujifilm support.

Here is the “Godox Plan”

Godox Plan:
TT350 Olympus and Fuji April-May 2017.
If TT350 is good, Move to 685 and V860II.
If all is good move to X1 Fuji and X1 Olympus.
The same time firmware update for all 2.4G light accept Fuji and Olympus
AD200 60 bulb LED light head May-June 2017.

I love this plan, Godox :-)

Fujifilm X-E3 Confirmed To Be Announced This Year (2017) – Trusted Source

Fujifilm X-E3 Mock-up
Fujifilm X-E3 Mock-up

Fujifilm X-E3

I can now confirm via trusted source, that the Fujifilm X-E3 will come this year (2017). A new source said it will come fall 2017.

I would like to say thanks to every one of you guys, who helped me to make pressure on Fujifilm and to make them understand that it would be an epic error to kill the X-E line.

And now I’ll go out in rain and make a joyful dance :-)

Fujifilm reads you guys. Your opinions even make it into official Fujifilm meetings with the press or can push Fujifilm to drop plans on cameras like the monochrome X-Pro. So keep up commenting and sharing here on FujiRumors because…

… together we can be stronger than you might think :)

have a Great Day…

Fujifilm GFX 50s: First “Significant” Firmware Update Coming in May – Source Right in the Past

According to a source, right in the past, the first “significant” Firmware update for the Fujifilm GFX 50s will come in May.

I don’t know at the moment what “significant” means exactly, but sure it sounds more than just a little bug fix. However, I doubt it will be a huge update like the one that the X-T2 and X-Pro2 recently got (and more will come at the end of May).

As always, it’s a firmware rumor, so even if the top Fuji manager itself would announce it, you should take it with a grain of salt.

However, it’s time for GFX owners to make their first Kaizen wish-list… so don’t hesitate, and drop it here in the comments. You know Fujifilm reads us ;)

And feel free to enjoy our terrific Fujifilm GFX group, where 10,500+ members enjoy to share everything about the GFX and don’t forget to follow the GFX facebook page for GFX tailored news and rumors.

LEAKED: First Image of the Fujifilm X100 LH (for Left Handed)

What a shock!

Coming home tired in the evening and suddenly discover that:

  • I have no more beer in the fridge!!!
  • an incredible rumor landed in my inbox

I’m desperately trying to find a beer “in stock” somewhere, but first I have to share with you this amazing rumor:

An anonymous source (with nick-name) kindly used the rumor box to send me this: the first image of the Fujifilm LH. The anonymous source (thanks) writes:

“Hello,
Leak !
Fuji always listening to their customers, they prepare a test on the next X100LH
special edition for left handed (or left eye) photographers.
Tell you more when I know when delivered“

I want to be 100% honest with you guys, so I must add that I’ve received this rumor back on March 5 via rumor box**. I really couldn’t wait to share it with all of you guys, but in order to keep my rumor accuracy high I had to triple check it.

Well, all the checkings are done now and the day to share it has finally come :-)

take care, fellow rumor friends
