MARK THIS DATE: Fujifilm X Summit NYC 2022 on September 8 at 2PM New York Time

Fujifilm X Summit

The Fujifilm X Summit has just been announced for September 8 at 6PM GMT time. It will take place in New York City.

So definitely mark this date in your calendar:

  • September 8th at 2PM New York Time
  • September 8th at 8PM Berlin Time

The only thing Fujifilm has announced for September is the high resolution Fujifilm X-H2, which we have already shared the price and some specs of.

What else has Fujifilm on their official roadmap for 2022? Let’s look at it:

NOTE: THIS DOES NOT MEAN that it will all drop on September 8. It could well be that Fujifilm will make it an X series exclusive event. Or that they’ll only focus on the Fujifilm X-H2.

Whatever it is, FujiRumors will let you know soon enough.

Rumor Storm Incoming

And you know what?

A terrific rumor storm is about to unleash ahead of September 8, so don’t miss out to read FujiRumors in the next days and weeks ;).

Fujifilm Financial Results for Q1 FY2022: China Lockdowns Hit Digital Camera Sales, but Instax Keeps Rockin’!

Fujifilm shared its first quarter financial results for the fiscal year 2022 (results for April to June 2022).

Revenue and operating income increased by 13.6% and 31.8%, respectively, year-over-year. Although digital cameras were hit by the impact of the lockdown in China, sales of instant photo systems and color photographic paper remained firm.

Instax is king as usual. So let’s skip straight to the part that interests us most: professional imaging.

  • Revenue increased vear-over-vear as the sales recoverv of broadcast camera lenses from the COVID-19 impact offset the negative impact of the lockdown in China mainly on digital cameras.
  • In July 2022, we launched the FUJIFILM X-H2S mirrorless digital camera that boasts the fastest continuous-shooting, Auto Focus and video performance in the history of the X Series, which delivers premium image quality despite being compact and lightweight.

Pretty much they don’t say anything about the Fujifilm X and GFX series, except for saying they launched the X-H2S and a final note that says:

We will continue to offer attractive products by realizing the best balance between image quality and size through the X Series and the highest image quality through the GFX Series.

Sigma CEO Confirms Sigma 18-50mmF2.8 for Fujifilm X mount Coming End of 2022 (Probably December)

It’s a known fact since February 2022 that Sigma plans to release the Sigma 18-50mmF2.8 DC DN Contemporary for Fujifilm X mount within this year.

And FujiRumors already reported how Sigma USA gave a more precise timeline: the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 for X mount will be released in December.

But all those statements were made back in early 2022.

So has something changed? Did the parts shortage or the price increase on those parts due to inflation change the plans at Sigma and possibly even delayed the lens?

Well, I am happy to report that Sigma is still on track to release the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 for X mount within this year.

This has in fact just been confirmed by the Sigma CEO himself, who in the latest Sigma Stage talk video confirmed that the lens is scheduled for “end of 2022 release“.

A little good news for X shooters.

Now let’s hope that they will also keep it gently priced as the Sony E mount version.

Which X Gear Do You Own? (includes Third Party AF lenses) – POLL

This survey is for the 91% of FR-readers who own X series gear.

Not only Fujifilm has launched new cameras and lenses (although sadly many of them are often not available due to parts shortage), but also more third parties are now offering X mount autofocus lenses, for example the (currently discounted) Sigma trinity, the latest Tamron lens, the new Samyang and more.

So I was curious to see how the new entries eventually shifted the ranking of the most owned X gear among the FujiRumors community we made last year here.

Feel free to vote the surveys down below.

  • Important Note: If you pre-ordered any of the gear listed below and just wait to get it shipped, you qualify as owner.
  • Important Note II: I include AF lenses from third party manufacturers

Fujifilm X-T5 with No Battery Grip: a Dealbreaker? VOTE SURVEY

We shared the rumor, provided to us by a new source, about the Fujifilm X-T5 having no battery grip option.

Now, for some reason I had the feeling that this wouldn’t be a big deal, as my impression was that the vast majority of X-T shooters don’t use the battery grip anyway.

But a recent survey we made shows that 38% of the FujiRumors readers owning an X-T camera also own the battery grip.

Assuming there will be quite some X-T shooters that might want to upgrade to the Fujifilm X-T5, I was wondering if the lack of battery grip would be a dealbreaker for you or not.

For those Interested to buy Fujifilm X-T5: would the lack of Battery Grip be a Dealbreaker for You?

Fuji Guys: Fujifilm X-H2S Unboxing and How-To Videos (with Useful Shortcut Keys Section)

The Fuji Guys published their Fujifilm X-H2S unboxing and How-To videos.

Note that in the unboxing video you can’t see the hot shoe cover for the Fujifilm X-H2S, but to my knowledge that one should be included in the box. Speaking of hot shoes, many of you seem to go crazy for these hot shoes (and I have one myself too)… gives our Fuji’s a special touch ;).

As for the how-to video, it’s a recommended watch for all current and future Fujifilm X-H2S owners and there is a useful shortcut section starting from 12:47.

You can see the videos below.

POLL: Which Fujifilm System Do You Own?

In my multimillion dollar deal with Fujifilm Japan*, FujiRumors has, per contract, to at least once a year conduct a marketing research to see which systems the FujiRumors fellowship owns.

You can see the results of last year here in case you are curious to know how things have evolved over the last year.

  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Any X or GFX gear you have on pre-order qualifies you as an “owner”. So for example if your first Fujifilm camera ever is the Fujifilm X-H2S but you are still waiting to get it shipped, you qualify as an X series owner.

* I’ve never received nor will ever receive a single penny from Fujifilm (nor free or discounted gear), so rest assured that FujiRumors is and will remain a space 100% independent from Fujifilm

I currently own the following systems.... (NOTE: pre-ordered gear qualifies you as "Owner")
