SUSPENDED: Fujifilm Removes Latest XF16-55mmF2.8 Firmware and Promises Emergency Update

Share

A couple of days ago Fujifilm has released several (also major) firmware updates. And they also promised Kaizen firmware updates coming.

The news today is that the firmware update for the Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR was flawed and has now been suspended from the Fujifilm download page.

Fujifilm is preparing an emergency firmware and FujiRumors will let you know as soon as it goes online.

In Ver. 1.30 released on January 22, 2024, it was confirmed that the exposure of images taken with certain focal length and aperture value combinations became abnormal.
For this reason, the firmware download has been suspended.
We are preparing an emergency firmware for customers who have updated to Ver. 1.30, so please wait for it.

You can access the note about the removed firmware update here.

Hopefully it won’t end up forgotten and suspended forever like the GF50mmF3.5 firmware.

RUMOR: Fujifilm X100VI only 1 Millimeter Thicker than X100V

Share

I already told you that the Fujifilm X100VI would have basically the same size of the Fujifilm X100V.

The size difference would be so negligible, that it would be noticeable only on paper.

But some FR-readers told me that even just a few millimeters here and there would make a significant difference in terms of perceived size of the camera in the hands.

So, let me be more precise today.

The Fujifilm X100VI will be just 1 millimeter thicker than the X100V.

That’s all: 1 millimeter of difference.

I hope that now you’ll agree that the size difference is really extremely negligible and that we can say the X100VI has basically the same size of the X100V.

Fujifilm X100VI Coming with with REALA ACE Film Simulation… and About Reala Ace Being Possible only with GFX100II Sensor

Share

The Fujifilm X100VI will be Fujifilm’s first APS-C camera to feature the new REALA ACE film simulation.

Some of you might think that’s an obvious rumor. But others might think it can’t be true.

And the reason why some might think it can’t be true, is because when the Fujifilm GFX100 II was launched, Fujifilm engineers said this during the X summit about the new Reala Ace film simulation:

The new GFX100II sensor is the best fit Reala Ace. Without this sensor, we are not able to realize REALA film simulation in it

But according to our sources, what Fujifilm said is not true. Or maybe Fujifilm just used a very unlucky and confusing formulation.

Because Fujifilm is able to realize Reala Ace also without the Fujifilm GFX100II sensor and the first camera (besides GFX100II) to have it will be the Fujifilm X100VI.

Maybe it would have been better phrased if Fujifilm would have said like back then during the Fujifilm GFX100S and Nostalgic Negative launch:

For nostalgic negative, Fujifilm needs large sensor. It can’t be implemented simply to APS-C. Fujifilm needs more time to develop Nostalgic Negative for the APS-C system.

Now let’s cross fingers that Reala Ace will come via firmware update also to all other 5th generation Fujifilm cameras.

Fujifilm X100VI Possible Price Info Leaked

Share

We have received the information (thanks!), that the Fujifilm X100VI will cost $1,599.

This is not yet confirmed by trusted sources, so take it with a grain of salt for now.

This looks like a bargain if you compare it to the second hand price for a Fujifilm X100V.

But if you compare it to the original price tag for the Fujifilm X100V, we notice a $200 price hike. I guess not unexpected, considering that it will have a newer 40MP sensor, a better processor and even IBIS.
