I’ve told you that the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on September 12.
The question is: what will come on that day?
Well, I can now tell you that, for sure, we will get the long rumored Fujifilm GFX100 replacement.
Again: we are talking about the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement (so the successor to this camera here), and not the replacement to the GFX100S, GFX50R or any other GFX camera.
I don’t have indication about anything else to come at this point, but I will make sure to update you as soon as I have solid information.
What I am 100% sure of, though, is that in the next few weeks and months, there will be LOTS of rumors on FujiRumors. I mean, really LOTS of rumors ;).
So, if you want to have a fun time, then stay tuned on this blog and also on the FujiRumors YouTube channel.
Did I already tell you there will be LOTS OF RUMORS? ;)

Until now it always worked like this in the Fujifilm world: Fuji’s APS-C series cameras get the latest and greatest technology and then the same sensors and processors are used on Fuji’s GFX cameras.
With two differences, of course.
But other than that, the silicon wafer used to make these sensors is exactly the same.
This means that for example the 26MP BSI X-Trans IV sensor is the very same we find on the GFX100/S, just Sony cuts a 4 times larger part out of it for the GFX sensor, hence 102 MP.
That’s great for Fujifilm, as it saves them R&D if they can use the same platforms over several systems and, for example, simplify the transfer of their APS-C firmware into their GFX system by using the same processor and sensor technology.
And what this mean for the rumored Fujifilm GFX100 replacement?
Well, if Fujifilm will continue doing what they always do then I see 3 options.
And I say 3 options, because the Fujifilm X-S20 shows us that Fujifilm is still considering that 26MP BSI sensor part of their lineup and hence to be potentially used in future cameras.
The three most obvious options at this point are:
But of course, there are also other sensors that Sony has available. We reported here about:
Sure, a 162MP stacked medium format sensor would be extremely expensive. And as far as global shutter goes, it’s not usually Fujifilm who uses breakthrough technology for first. Those sensors come from Sony and my guess is that before we don’t get it on a Sony camera, we also won’t see it on a Fuji camera.
That’s why for now I will not include the latter two options in the survey. But if sources tell me crazy things are going to happen with the GFX100 replacement, then you can bet I will let you know first here on FujiRumors.
And now to the survey… and the question could not be easier than this one: which sensor do you want on the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement?

Thanks to Stefan from DPR for sharing this. Nice spot!
Fujifilm has launched a massive rebate on the original Fujifilm GFX100, with a hefty $3,500 rebate!
The only problem: also the Fujifilm GFX100S has a nice rebate and for many this might still be the better deal.

FujiRumors has already told you that the next GFX camera will be the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement.
As you can imagine, I am is working on it and the rumors will drop for sure. What I am not sure is if you’ll love or hate what you’ll hear. For that, you’ll have to read FujiRumors and I’ll have to read your reaction in the comments.
So stay tuned… interesting times ahead ;).

Fujifilm has finally released the Fujifilm GFX100S firmware fix they promised us a couple of days ago.
The curious thing about this bug: people were forced to use a workaround for a while, and I know that some fellow GFX100S shooters, who applied the workaround, now actually stick with it as they find it more convenient that keeping the button pressed to change exposure compensation.
So, not all the bad comes to hurt, at least not for those, who now stick with the workaround solution.
Down below you find all the firmware details and download links.
Fujifilm has released the new firmware for the Fujifilm GFX50SII, which fixes the bug with the exposure compensation button.
The Fujifilm GFX100S suffers the same issue after the latest firmware, but so far it has not yet received the bug fix firmware. Fujifilm writes:
Revised firmware for FUJIFILM GFX100S is still being evaluated, although it was planned to be released on May 31.
We will release the revised version A.S.A.P. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.
In the meantime, here is the workaround (which some might even prefer).
Yesterday Fujifilm released a statement, where they acknowledge the exposure compensation bug introduced on Fujifilm GFX100S and GFX50SII with the latest firmware and they said a fix will be out on May 31.
Of course FujiRumors reported about it yesterday, but we also suggested a temporary workaround based on a recommendation that came from one of our fellow Fujifilm GFX users members here.
Well, it looks like Fujifilm read our article and has now updated their statement suggesting the very same workaround.
The exposure compensation can be used by changing the [EXPO. COMP. BUTTON SETTING] to [ON/OFF SWITCH], which will be the temporary workaround until the revised firmware is released.
*The menu flow to make the above setting is as follows.
[SETUP MENU] ➔ [BUTTON/DIAL SETTING] ➔ [EXPO. COMP. BUTTON SETTING] ➔ [ON/OFF SWITCH].
Always happy to help, Fujifilm :)
And thanks again to our amazing Fujifilm GFX group and Carlos in this case! You made it into an official Fujifilm press note.

The Latest
When Fujifilm launched the new XApp, they also shared a list of camera models that are compatible with the new App.
And if you look at the official press release of Fujifilm Global, the Fujifilm GFX100 is not supported for the new XApp.
However, if you look the the press release of Fujifilm USA here, well, they do list the Fujifilm GFX100 as compatible!
So what’s going on?
Well, right now, the Fujifilm GFX100 is not supported (so the US press release is NOT accurate).
But Fujifilm USA managers said in the Tech Talk last night (which I participated myself), that for sure there will be a firmware update coming for the GFX100 that will add XApp support also for that camera.
So, the GFX100 is not supported yet, but it will be in foreseeable future thanks to a firmware update.
That brings hope also for other models, as clearly Fujifilm is not yet done with adding XApp support for their cameras, so maybe, along with the GFX100, also other models will be made compatible down the road.
