So yes, it was high time for a GFX party and looking back X shooter should just accept this happily.
However, there is one thing that Fujifilm could do, rather easily, to turn the next GFX-centric X summit into an epic day also for Fujifilm X shooters.
What is it?
Well, we know that the Fujifilm GFX100 II will come with new features not even available on flagship X series model until now.
Fujifilm has officially announced the next Fujifilm X Summit for September 12, which is old news for FujiRumors readers because thanks to our sources we told you the date already in early July here.
I can’t write more right now, because I am hiking in the Dolomites. But I always have my MacBook Pro 13 M1 with me, so you guys don’t miss anything and will always be the first to know by following FujiRumors.
You deserve the fastest and most accurate coverage 24×7 365 days a year. And you’ll find that only here ;).
And now… a mountain hut is waiting for me… and a beer… or two ;)
Oh, and here is what is said in the video:
X-S20 very well accepted
X App will be continued to be upgraded and expand functionality in near future as well
GFX challenge Grant Program updates (15 winners)
GFX challenge Grant Program will for 2023 will start with prizes like $10,000, GFX gear and more. Applications end October 15
September 12 X Summit in Stockholm
X Summit = announcement by Fujifilm including testimonials by Photographers
FujiKina Stockholm on September 13
Fujikina = hands on event setup by Fujifilm for people to get hands on with the latest equipment. Like a trade show
So, we just leaked the date of the next Fujifilm X Summit, which will happen on September 12.
Now I am curious to know what you guys are hoping for to come.
That’s why I have now launched a survey that includes plausible, less plausible and borderline impossible options.
I’ll not include 110% impossible cameras, which would be for example a Fujifilm X-H3 or Fujifilm X-H3s, as those cameras are hardly 1 year old (or less). Or the Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-S30.
What we will inlcude are the Fujifilm X-T5s (X-T5 with 26MP stacked sensor of X-H2S), Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm X-T40, Fujifilm X100V successor (X200, X100VI, X100 whatever), Fujifilm X80, Fujifilm XF20, Fujifilm X-T300, Fujifilm X-A8, Fujifilm X-A30, Fujifilm X-M2, Fujifilm GFX100 successor, Fujifilm GFX100S successor, Fujifilm GFX50R successor and Fujifilm GFX50SII successor.
So, I am going to share the date with you today, but I can’t 100% exclude that there will be changes. And if there will be, I will let you know.
With that said, here is the date.
According to our trusted sources, the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on September 12.
Yes, that’s still quite far away. And yes, that makes it even more “risky” for me to share, as there is lots of time until that date and changes can happen anytime.
But if I share the date anyway with you, it means that I have good reasons to be confident about this date. A confidence that is given to me by our trusted sources.
Déjà vu Anyone?
Some of you guys might have some Déjà vu now and remember that date from somewhere.
Well, I actually have reported about that date a while back here, when thanks to our reader, who digged in the depths of the registration, we spotted the registrations for two new cameras, the FF220002 on May 26 and the FF230001 on September 12.
In that article I warned you though that usually registrations don’t actually fit with the real announcement date. I’ve checked back and here are some examples:
X-S20: registrations says May 26 / reality May 24
GFX100S: registrations says January 29 / reality January 27
X-T200: registrations says January 24 / reality January 23
And in 90% of the cases registrations don’t even give any date at all (or even become public only AFTER the camera has already been announced, as it was the case of the X-E4 registration).
But this time around the registration could well fit the real announcement date according to our sources.
Don’t Miss Out on the Fun
Don’t miss out on the fun ahead of the X Summit, with LOTS (!!!) of rumors to come (I promise ;)) only here on FujiRumors and, if you want, also on my YouTube channel, where not only you will get all the rumors, but often also some travel tips as I will show you around one of the most beautiful places the world has to offer.
Because new gear is nice and good. But investing in experiences and travels is just as gratifying if not more. And it’s one of the best ways to make good use of our awesome gear.
if you decide to follow the big unveil on my YouTube channel, then you’ll get the rumor from my favorite Mediterrenean sea town (short guide included).
This means that in terms of rumors, you won’t miss anything if you don’t follow me on YouTube.
But if you love Italy, the Mediterrenean sea, awesome little towns, pristine water and great sunsets, then make sure to check out the rumor also on YouTube, as I will tell you the name of the town 99% of you never heard about, and after my video you’ll wonder how in all these years you could have missed such an awesome spot in Italy.
Above is the video that will go online shortly. Enable the reminder in order not to miss when it goes online.
And guys, this is the the very beginning of a long new rumor chapter here on FujiRumors. ;)
I agree with Johnnie from CineD, when he says that the X-S20 is the best camera you can get at this price. Fujifilm did pack lots of stuff in it, and even some stuff we don’t find on higher end Fujifilm cameras.
For example, the X-S20 can shoot 6K/30p 3:2 open gate (X-T5 and X-H2 can not). It has a headphone jack (my X-T5 has not). It has fully automatic subject detection mode (not even the high end X-H2S has that). It can be used as a webcam without the need of the Fujifilm X Webcam software and more.
There is lots to love about the X-S20.
And there is lots to love also about the Fujinon XF8mmF3.5, a wonderful little lens capable of resolving all the 40MP of the X-Trans V HR sensor.
Also the XApp is a nice fresh start for Fujifilm, it comes with some lovely new features like activity and timeline, which are kind of a diary of your photographic activity and I think this App is a great new start and I hope in that it will extended with new features in future (RAW transfer anyone)?
But all this goodness could not help me to get rid of that feeling of disappointment. And here are 3 reasons why.
