Fujifilm Says Major X App Update is Coming, Includes Compatibility for Older Fujifilm Cameras (Camera Remote App is Dead)

Share

As spotted by a fellow FR-reader (thanks!!!) Fujifilm has published a post in which they recommend Fujifilm X Shooters to use the new X App instead of the old Camera Remote App..

Are you still using the Camera Remote App? This is the time to make the change and download the FUJIFILM XApp application, with which you can store the information of the settings with which you captured your photographs, in addition to being able to backup, restore and copy your camera settings.

Fujifilm also said you can delete the Camera Remote App as it won’t get any updates anymore.

At this point many Fujifilm X shooters pointed out that older Fujifilm camera are not supported by the Fujifilm X App, and Fujifilm had this reply for them:

Do not worry! Very soon we will make a big update so you can continue using your favorite equipment

So it looks like Fujifilm is working to retire the Camera Remote App forever and make the new X App accessible also to all those fellow Fujifilm X shooters, who until now could not use it because their camera was not supported by the X App.

Thanks a lot to the FR-reader for letting us know about it.

And I am pretty sure the Camera Remote App won’t be missed by those, who until now are still forced to use it because their camera is not (yet) supported by the X App.

Fujifilm X100VI to Cost €1,799 (and $1,599?)

Share

I have been asked about the Fujifilm X100VI price in Euro.

Well, according to our trusted sources, it will be €1,799.

And one more thing regarding the price in US Dollar.

I told you recently that according to a new source it would be of $1,599 (hence $200 more than X100V). I also asked you to take it with a grain of salt for now until I can confirm it by trusted source.

Now, given that the price in Euro will be €1,799, the US price of $1,599 is definitely realistic.

As a reference:

  • X-T5 costs $1,699 in USA and €1,999 in Europe
  • X-H2 costs $1,999 in USA and €2,249 in Europe

So there is this 250/300 difference between the USD and EURO price. And if confirmed, there would be a 200 difference also between the US/EURO price of the X100VI.

But an anonymous source (who decided to use a nickname – THANKS), gave us a different price in USD. I am now checking that information (and also the rest you’ve sent me, thanks a lot), and will share an update here on FujiRumors. And if I can’t check the price in a reasonable time with my trusted sources, I will share the one given to me by the anonymous source anyway.

It’s just, usually when I need to correct a potentially wrong rumor, I want to to be sure the correction is 100% the final word on that particular rumor. That’s why I take a bit of time to try to get it confirmed by trusted sources.

It could also be that both sources are accurate, just one source got a more updated information than the other.

Fujifilm really loves to change its mind on the pricing a couple of times before they release the gear. And actually it also happened that Fujifilm made rapid changes shortly after announcement, as for example with the Fujifilm X70, which was launched for $799, and just a few days after launch, while still on pre-order, Fujifilm lowered the retail price to $699 as you can see here.

Anyway… I will try to figure out which is the most up to date information.

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.
