Press Release
The Fujifilm XP120, a rugged Fujifil camera with IBIS, will soon get a successor, the XP130.
The Press Release has now leaked. You can read it below:
UPDATE: Sadly there are not upcoming lenses displayed at the imaging USA.
In the last few years, Fujifilm skipped the CES fair in Las Vegas.
They will, however, have a public booth (Nr. 717) at the Imaging USA 2018, which will be open to the public between January 14 and 16 in Nashville, TN.
That’s a bit too early to see the Fujifilm X-H1 (which will be announced February 15 Tokyo time), but there is a lot of great stuff to see, starting from the Fujifilm GFX 50S to the Fujifilm X-E3 as well as some brand new lenses like the XF80mm F2.8 WR.
I do expect that they will also display some updated mock-ups (or even early working prototypes) of the upcoming XF8-16mm, XF200mmF2 and GF250mm.
We could see some mock-ups of these lenses already in the past. I share them for you again here:
If there is any FujiRumors reader attending the event, please feel free to share what you see and heard with us via fujirumor@gmail.com.
It would be a very welcome help.
Fujifilm has just issued an official press release sharing their schedule for the Imaging USA 2018, which includes not only the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear, but also free head shot studio sessions, speeches and more.
Fujifilm just announced the Fujifilm Instax Share SP-3 square printer.

Goodbye Fuji X-T2: Why I FINALLY had to let it go at LivingVertical Youtube
I love the Fuji system.
And yes, sometimes I just can’t contain my enthusiasm and excitement for the Fuji X and G systems, which brings me to write long emotional articles when a camera gets discontinued or lose myself in a frenzy of happiness for a rumor, when I could have said everything with 1 headline and saved a lot of my spare time.
That’s who I am… can’t change it… deal with it ;)
However, this is FujiRumors… and I know that this blog is a big source for all things Fuji for many of you guys.
That’s why my number 1 priority will always be to deliver honest, good, fair, fast and accurate service to you… even if it means that sometimes we have to talk “bad” about Fujifilm.
So here on FujiRumors we are are free to…
I’ll just quickly add, that I can do this only because I have absolutely 0% contacts with (and zero favours/money/support from) Fujifilm, which gives me an immense freedom to write whatever I want.
You guys, the FR-readers, are my only boss… and all I want to do is to deliver you the best content and rumors possible.
The Fujifilm X-System is not for everybody. Depending on what your needs are, you may be more or less satisfied with it. Some people love the X-system so much, that they can live with minor issues (maybe waiting for a Kaizen Firmware to fix it), some others just have to return their Fuji camera, just like LivingVertical did with his X-T2 (video above) or alastairarthur did with his X-Pro2 (link below).
But there are also many very happy Fuji users out there, who keep up producing great work with their Fuji gear (such as Kevin Mullins’ recent wedding Photographs)… and I’m happy to share them in this roundup, too.

The EISA AWARDS 2017/2018 are out.
The Fujifilm X-T20 has been declared the best consumer CSC and the Instax Square SQ10 is the best instant camera of the year. The prize for the overall best camera goes to the Sony A9.
I know what you guys think, and I tend to agree: the EISA award is here to make every company happy.
But at least, compared to the past editions, EISA dropped some non-sense categories like the “Best Connected Camera” and they don’t make anymore the ridiculous distinction between “professional“, “advanced” and “premium” cameras.
It’s a good thing that now there are less categories, so EISA is definitely following the right direction… but there should be even less categories, to give even more prestige to the winners.
One thing I don’t get is why the Sony A6500 has been declared the best “prosumer” CSC and the X-T20 the best “consumer” CSC. Is the X-T20 less Pro than the A6500?
Another thing to notice: it’s the first time that no Fujinon lens wins the award.
Also, the Fujifilm GFX system has been completely ignored by EISA. So the only camera (the GFX 50s) that beats all other EISA awards winners in terms of image quality and the exquisite Fujinon glass like the GF 63, GF 110, GF 120, GF 23 and GF32-64 don’t get awarded.

Anyway, here is what EISA writes about the two Fujifilm products that won the award this year (for all photography awards click here).
Fujifilm X-T20 (via EISA here):
The Fujifilm X-T20 is a compact, mirrorless consumer camera that produces sharp, clean images and 4K video quality at a competitive price. At the heart of the camera is its 24.3 million pixel X-Trans CMOS III sensor and X-Processor Pro, which are jointly responsible for the extraordinary image quality. Despite its comparatively affordable cost the X-T20 uses the same high quality sensor and processor as the highly regarded X-T2 and X-Pro2. The touchscreen operation and custom AF-C setting are also big pluses. Finally the X-T20’s sharp and highly detailed 4K video recording makes this camera a great all-rounder.
Fujifilm Instax Square SQ10 (via EISA here):
The Instax SQUARE SQ10 is the first hybrid instant camera that lets you take and print square photos (62x62mm). You can brighten, darken or add vignettes to your images or choose from 10 creative filters to apply, before you decide to print them. The bright LCD viewfinder makes it easy to create and edit your pictures, which are recorded in the internal memory or on a microSD card, so you can share them with your friends and family.
Synergy of digital imaging technology and the existing instax system enables greatly improved photographic image quality and image editing / processing before printing.
Seeing an opportunity to provide photographers with more occasions than ever to use instant cameras equipped with new technologies, Fujifilm decided to create a brand new device fully dedicated to the SQUARE format. The improved image-capturing functions of the SQ10 give this latest addition to the instax range unrivalled levels of control and ease of use. The SQ10 will now allow photographers to effortlessly capture a wealth of different scenes with perfect control.
Dear Fujifilm, we love the Kaizen love you give to our cameras. But you know… we can never get enough :)
So here are some more firmware ideas for the future, shared by FR-reader Fujica (high time to share it :))
And you know it… Fujifilm Top Managers Read you!

What else?
Well, I (Patrick) would really like to have a highlight priority metering mode.
And you?
