Fujifilm is teasing the September 12 event all over their social media, and to do so, they use the silhouette of a mysterious camera.
The camera we see is far from being the final Fujifilm GFX100 II, unless Fujifilm really decided to go for a camera without a shutter button. ;)
A photo of the camera itself leaked already here.
The X summit will take place on September 12 at 5AM New York time.
Gear coming September 12
According to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm GFX100 II will have a base ISO of 80 (compared to the ISO100 of current GFX cameras).
That’s potentially a good news, but let’s see how this translates into real life image quality on September 12, when the GFX100 II will be announced at the X Summit.

We already told you that the Fujifilm X100V successor will be launched in early 2024 (and ship in late 2028 probably :) ).
Well, today trusted sources have informed us that the Fujifilm X100V replacement will come with a “new lens”.
No further details for now but I am working on it and update you as soon as I can.
But I want to be clear:
“New lens” for now is a vague hint and could mean just anything: from a minor redesign that would make the lens weather sealed without the need to apply a filter (which is currently needed to seal the X100V lens) or also a redesign with different focal length/aperture [for example the patented 20mmF2 lens for X100 cameras]. Just everything is possible at this point.
So, for now “new” just means that there will be differences over the X100V lens, but how strong this difference will be I can’t tell right now.
A minor change? A substantial redesigned? I’ll make sure you’ll get the answer here on FujiRumors.
Certainly this comes surprising, as in 5 generation of the X100 line (X100, X100S, X100T, X100F, X100V), Fujifilm has refreshed the lens only once, on the last generation, the X100V. So personally I would not have expected another refresh to come that soon again. But it’s happening. Word of trusted sources.
Topaz Photo AI 2 has been officially released.
It’s a major update, the biggest update in fact since Photo AI has been launched.
You can read all the details at the dedicated Topaz Labs Photo AI 2 page here.
And just for launch, you get it with $40 discount.
Topaz Photo AI merges the incredibly efficient DeNoise AI, Gigapixel AI and Sharpen AI into one single software for a massive usability improvement! And in addition to that, Topaz Photo AI also offers new features like the full Autopilot mode and more.
Fujifilm has just put their countdown for the X summit on September 12 on their YouTube page.
Of course the video can’t yet be watched (will start Sept. 12 at 5AM New York time).
But here is the thing.
As soon as the video was up, I extracted the tags of the video and saw that the full tag-list included terms like “GFX100 II”, “tilt shift” and more (see screenshot above). I tried again now, and the tags that unveil what’s coming are no longer there.
So luckily I was fast enough to grab them for you. ;)
Now let’s go over them.
Let’s start with the tags that 100% tell us what’s coming September 12.
According to my knowledge, also the Fujinon GF55mm f/1.7 should come on September 12.
Looking at the other tags gives us a sense on what the main focus of the event will be:
It’s interesting to see so much emphasis on the video side of things. And we already told you that the GFX100 II will bring several new features, such as Video touch-to-track Autofocus, Waveforms Monitor and Anamorphic Mode.
A tag that gives X series users hopes:
Now, there are no specific tags for Fujifilm X-Pro4, X-E5, X-S30, X-T6, X-T40, X-H3, X-H3S, X80, X100VI (X200) or whatever. So little hopes for any X series camera to come, otherwise they would have tagged it just like they tagged the GFX100 II.
But I’d already be very happy if behind that “X series” and “fujinon” would hide for example the unveil of a new X series lens roadmap, which is long overdue.
Anyway, overall a very GFX-centric event, with hope for X series tidbits too.
