According to a new source that has now been “elevated” to the level of trusted source in record times (THANKS!!!), the Fujifilm X-T30II will not be discontinued after the launch of the Fujifilm X-T50.
So both models will coexist side by side for a while.
Now, of course the day will come when the X-T30II will be discontinued. Also the X-T50 will be discontinued one day. But it won’t happen after the Fujifilm X-T50 announcement and the manufacturing of the X-T30II will continue also after the launch of the X-T50.
Now, out of the three cameras mentioned above, the Fujifilm X100VI is the best selling camera by a very large margin.
But, if the rumors are accurate, there might soon me much more competition coming for the Fujifilm X100VI and certainly this motivated Fujifilm to rapidly increase production of the X100VI in order to sell as units as possible before more competition hits the market.
But as much as I welcome future competition, there are two crucial advantage that the Fujifilm X100VI has over other brands.
As you can see above, Venus Optics will launch the Laowa TS 100mm f/2.8 1X Tilt Shift lens for Fujifilm GFX on May 10 according to reports surfaced at the Chiense social media account on Weibo 独立摄影师联合会 (via asobinet).
The price is rumored to be of almost 500,000 yen (converted $3,250).
this is one of the longest term rumors I have ever shared. So take it with a grain of salt, simply because we are talking about a camera that could be released in 2028
discussions about this camera are very intense inside Fujifilm, but if I understood my source correctly, the final decision has not yet been taken
Fujifilm = Photography
Tell me…
Who could pull this off?
Sony? Canon? Nikon?
Nah, forget about them. They are busy fighting their Full Frame war with mainstream cameras.
No, we need a company that thinks different.
A company that does not think that niche products suck and are just a waste of R&D.
A company with such a massive photographic culture that it understands that cultivating a niche means cultivating the true passion for photography.
Anyone comes to mind?
Oh yes, this company is Fujifilm !
And that’s why, even though this rumor comes from a new source and has not yet been confirmed by trusted sources, I definitely trust that if any brand can make it happen, then it’s Fujifilm.
So, what’s the rumor?
Well, I had a chat with a new source, and this is what it told me.
