The Fujifilm GFX is now in the hands of selected photographers, who are testing it and giving their feedback to Fujiiflm. And every now and then, Fujifilm shares little tidbits at their youtube channel.

One of the happy beta testers is Philippe Marinig. Here are some of his comments taken from this youtube video: “I like reality, I like using natural light. […] I was very impressed by the GFX quality. […] The GFX seems to have no much limitation in terms of ISO as well. It’s freedom, no limitation. […] New Generation, exciting“.

And the lucky photographers, who can already use the GFX, share some tidbits now and then also at the Fujifilm GFX facebook group… so don’t miss to check it out.

With that said, let’s come to today’s rumor, which should be taken with a grain of salt, because it comes from a new source, and especially because Fujifilm can change the estimanted pricing anytime. I mean, the X-T2 price has been decided just shorty before its announcement, and in case of the X70, Fujifilm even changed the price 2 days after the announcement, when it was still in pre-order status.

All I can give you are estimated price tags at the moment, and, according to a new source, Fujifilm has currently set the price for the GFX at around $8000 (with lens).

This fits more or less with the price shared in Germany by a store and at this Vietnamese store.

So here it is, the cheapest camera to get into the X-system: the Fujifilm X-A10 – via nokishita

It will be announced soon, have a 16MP sensor, no touch screen and it will be cheaper than the Fujifilm X-A3.

As you know, Fujifilm originally planed to release FW 1.10 for the Fujiflm X-T2 on October 29. It has then been postponed to November 8. But yet another bug forced Fujifilm to delay the release even further. The new deadline is November 29.

But apparently Fujifilm China was not aware of the delay, since they published the Fuji X-T2 firmware ver.1.10 file on their site. It has since then been removed, but an attentive Fujirumors readers grabbed a screenshot and even downloaded the file.

I won’t share the file here, since it’s buggy and I don’t recommend anybody to load it on their X-T2. However, what I will share, is the list of updates that Fujifilm introduced with the new Firmware (kindly translated by our Chinese FR-reader – thanks!)

The FR-reader told me that the improvement notes are a bit of confusing, because the Chinese version was very likely badly translated from Japanese.

1. Take shots thru USB from PC.

Use below software for remote control.

a) Download “FUJIFILM remote plug-in PRO” from Adobe Add-ons website.

b) Download “FUJIFILM remote plug-in” from Adobe Add-ons website. T2 will support the 1.3 version.

c) Buy HS-V5 software.

2. Lock operations while shooting.

3. Screen will display shutter speed when disable AE and turn on auto ISO and aperture priority.

4. Fix overexposure with AF-C.

5. Fix AF unusable with XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6R LM WR.

6. Fix system hung with “PC auto save” setting.

7. Improve compatibility for Nissin i40

As you know, Fujifilm will release a Firmware update for the X-T1 (ver.5.00) and the X-T2 (ver. 1.10) on November 8th.

Well, I’ve received the information, that also the Fujifilm X-Pro2 will also get a new update (ver.2.01). With the new Firmware, the X-Pro2 is again compatible with the Nissin i40.
