Fujifilm X-T30III and XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 Announcement October 23 – Anything Else Coming?

Share

We told you that the Fujifilm X-T30 III and XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3 will be announced on October 23.

So far Fujifilm has not published any teaser nor made any X Summit announcement, so it might well be a more quiet announcement this time.

That’s an error in my view, as the Fujifilm X-T30 III could turn out to be a very important camera for Fujifilm, since it will be its most affordable 5th gen camera with EVF, closing a huge gap in the current camera lineup.

With that said, some asked me if we can expect more to come.

My answer: so far I have no indication of anything else coming. Not in terms of announcements, development announcements or new lens roadmaps.

And the fact that there is (at least until now), no official X Summit announced, could indicate that October 23 won’t hold any major surprises besides the new gear we mention in this article.

But that’s just a speculation of mine, so don’t crucify me if on October 23 Fujifilm suddenly releases a new roadmap or announces the development of the Fujifilm X-Pro4. In fact, also the Fujifilm GFX Eterna development announcement happened all of a sudden, without any rumors, with a simple press release.

So, everything is still possible.

Best Sellers

So far, these are the best-selling Amazon Prime deals among the FujiRumors community:

  1. SmallRig NP-W126S Battery
  2. SmallRig Thumb Grip with Hot Shoe Cover for Fujifilm X-E5
  3. Viltrox AF 56mm F1.7
  4. Apple AirPods 4
  5. Fujinon XF35mmF2 R WR – lens was available renewed for a while, now sold out
  6. SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD
  7. Viltrox NP-W235
  8. Viltrox AF 56mm F1.2
  9. SanDisk 256GB Extreme PRO SDXC UHS-II
  10. Fujinon XF 33mm F1.4 R LM WR – only 5 units left at that price

Notably, the top two items are SmallRig products. The surge in NP-W126S battery demand is likely driven by the new Fujifilm X-E5, a trend confirmed by the SmallRig X-E5 thumb grip also ranking highly.

When it comes to lenses, the 20% worldwide Amazon Prime discount on nearly all Viltrox X-mount lenses is clearly boosting their sales.

Apple makes an appearance with a strong deal on the AirPods 4, while the incredibly well-priced XF33mm F1.4 is also in the ranking, with only a few units left to grab at that excellent price.

RUMOR: Fujifilm X-T30 III Coming with Film Simulation Dial on X-T30 II Body

Share

According to our information, the Fujifilm X-T30III will use basically the same body of the trusted Fujifilm X-T30II.

However, there will be one difference: the X-T30II drive dial will be replaced by the film simulation dial we find on the Fujifilm X-M5 and Fujifilm X-T50.

As an Fujifilm X-E5 owner, I can say Fujifilm’s implementation of the film simulation dial on that camera is wonderfully elegant. On the X-T30III, though, such a solution won’t be necessary due to its different SLR-style layout compared to the X-E5’s rangefinder design.

Dedicated Fujifilm Film Simulation Recipe Book on Top of Camera Equipment Book Sales

Share

We reported how OM System is now embracing the film simulation recipe concept.

This alone already shows how important recipes can be for the identity of a camera system and the sense of community around it.

In fact, entire books and apps are dedicated to film simulation recipes, proving how strong the demand really is.

And one book I noticed sells very well, for example the 33 JPEG recipes for Fujifilm X cameras.

The book is available at Amazon pretty much everywhere, but it is in German, which explains why it is the often marked as Top Bestseller only in Germany.

The Superb Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 Lens Is Now Cheaper Than It Was at Launch

Share

At the time of writing, Amazon is offering the Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR for $789. The regular retail price is $949 (raised due to U.S. tariffs), while the original launch price was $799.

The lens is shipped and sold directly by “Amazon.com“, and it’s listed as a “New” item. However, Amazon also labels it as a “replacement lens” — a somewhat unclear designation. Considering that other Fujinon lenses marked the same way (such as the XF16mmF2.8) are sold by Amazon Germany, it’s possible that Amazon has internally transferred stock from its European warehouses to the U.S. to work around stricter import tariffs.

  • XF 33mm F1.4 – $789 – shipped and sold by Amazon.com and free 30-days return – only 8 units left

Besides that, there are also the 2-days only Amazon Prime Deals running. You basically save 20% on Viltrox AF X mount lenses, all sorts of storage media and much more. I’ll share a list of selected deals below.
