They Are Coming!

They Are Coming

They are coming.

Soon they’ll find out.

And once they do, it’s over.

They’ll cause shortages, boost prices and create endless long waiting list.

But we can beat them.

Because the TikTok crowd is not aware of the Fujifilm X100VI (yet).

They don’t follow photography forums or rumor sites.

But it won’t take long until their TikTok idol will tell them about the X100VI.

So all we have is this short time window between announcement and the moment the news of the X100VI spreads on social media.

That’s why, if you want the Fujifilm X100VI, I make a recommendation that I can’t remember I’ve ever done in 12 years of blogging: pre-order it instantly.

Beat the rush. Or risk to endlessly wait for the Fujifilm X100VI.

And remember: you can always send it back within 30 days. Or resell it at twice the price :D

But When?

Many asked me when pre-orders are taken. So here is how Fujifilm (usually) does it.

There is the X Summit. You can follow it here on FujiRumors. We will provide the live stream as well as a live summary.

During the X Summit, NO preorders are taken and NO reviews will be shared.

Once the X Summit is over (which could be anytime between 1:00AM and 2:00AM New York time), the embargo on the X100VI will be lifted. Reviews will drop and stores will upload the dedicated X100VI preorder pages.

Of course, as soon as the embargo is lifted, FujiRumors will start the Live Blog, where you’ll find all pre-order links and we will collect all the relevant reviews you should check out.

But Why?

Loved the X100VI rumors (and want to get more)?

Well, then if you decided to go for the Fujifilm X100VI, feel free to use any of our affiliate links to pre-order it.

The links I share are affiliate links. This means that once you click on them, you’ll get to the page of the store. And if you decide to buy anything on the store, a small commission is valued back to FujiRumors at no extra costs for you.

But remember: the last click counts.

So if for example you click on my affiliate link to BHphoto, don’t buy anything, and then go let’s say to SonyAlphaRumors and click on any of their B&H affiliate links, navigate BH and then preorder the X100VI, then SAR will earn the commission.

I mean, SAR is a fantastic website and deserves all the support it can get. And go and support them if you prefer (or anyone else). But just so you know, in case what you planed to do is to support FR, then the last store-link to click should be the one through FujiRumors.

Why do it?

Well, your support will make sure that I’ll be able to keep FujiRumors running and hence keep providing the service you are used to get… as always 100% free and non-stop 365 days a year.

So, to anyone who is considering to support my work, thanks a lot.

If FujiRumors is still running, than it’s only because of those of you, who decided to support FR in the past and will do so in future.

Smart Links

As soon as the X100VI is listed at stores, the links below will re-direct you to the X100VI pages. You can bookmark the links, or just follow FujiRumors at launch day and click any link you’ll find there on that day.

Fujifilm to Launch Three Cameras within First Half 2024 – But the Biggest Release is Another One ;)

Best News First: the Biggest Release is…

Yes, we are going to talk about the three cameras. But first you need to know this.

There is one release in just a couple weeks that will overshadow everything else Fujifilm will launch.

Well, at least for me.

Because my second son will be “released” in the next couple of weeks, too :)

But don’t worry guys.

There shouldn’t be any schedule conflict with the X Summit on February 20 (unlike with my first sons’ birth, when Fujifilm made its mega announcement literally just hours after he was born and I had to live blog right after I came home sleepless after his birth).

So I am ready to cover it all non-stop here on FujiRumors.

* NOTE: if on Feb.20 you decide to pre-order the X100VI using our affiliate links, FujiRumors will invest the earnings in diapers :)

TAKE NOTE: Fujifilm X Summit to Start February 20 at 12:30 AM New York Time (February 19 at 9:30 PM in San Francisco)

I have received a couple of question on when exactly the X Summit will start, and I realised I never really shared the time with you guys.

And the time matters, because for some of you the X Summit won’t happen on February 20, but actually on February 19.

So here is the time:

  • February 20 at 12:30 AM New York Time
  • February 19 at 9:30 PM San Francisco Time
  • February 20 at 6:30 AM Berlin Time

And here is the roadmap of that day:

  • Fujifilm X Summit Live Coverage on FujiRumors
    live video and summary, screenshots, recap on the FujiRumors blog
  • Fujifilm Live Blog
    Reviews, first looks, samples, all collected in one single article on FujiRumors and constantly updated with latest content

So, just sit down, relax, refresh FujiRumors and I’ll do all the work for you and bring you everything on FujiRumors.

And if you want to support my work, feel free to use our affiliate links to preorder your gear. It won’t cost you a single penny extra, but stores will value back to FujiRumors a small commission, and this will allow us to keep this blog running.

It would be really cool if you could support us.

Best Sellers 2023

❤️ Subscribe to FujiRumors YouTube Channel

It’s time to look back at what sold most among the FujiRumors community in 2023. And if you are interested, you can give a look at what sold best in the previous years.

The data is based on affiliate sales made via Amazon and BHphoto.

Of course this is not representative for the worldwide Fujifilm market. For example, on FujiRumors the Fujifilm GFX100 II outsold the X-S20, whereas on the overall market it’s more likely the opposite. That’s because FujiRumors readers, while appreciating mid-range gear, are mainly interested in higher end gear.

What to Expect from Fujifilm in 2024 (and What Probably Not)

Fujifilm 2024

In November we have shared quite some rumors (as you can see here). And not only that! In our previous 2024 outlook, we forgot to add gear that Fujifilm has already pre-announced to come in 2024 as well as give you a look into rumored third party AF lenses.

That’s why we need to update our view into the Fujifilm year 2024.

All the X/GFX rumors come from our sources, whereas the speculations are often based on hints and comments that managers gave in interviews.

Remember, Fujifilm will launch 3 or more cameras in the first months of 2024. This means there are still more cameras we have to (and we will) leak here on FujiRumors.

X/GFX GEAR COMING FOR SURE

Fujifilm FF240001 Registration Found (3rd Unreleased Product): The Rumors Go Wild with Fujifilm GFX25, GFX100SII, X-Pro4, X100 and More

On the Chinese Weibo (linked below), the patent for a third unregistered Fujifilm camera has surfaced, the FF240001.

So we are now at a total of three registered cameras that have yet to be released.

  • FF230002
  • FF230003
  • FF240001

From here all possible speculations start and you can read them down below.

How do I know these are just made up speculations and not rumors?

Well, because there are so many errors I will have to correct ;). In short here are the “rumors”.

  • What they say is Sure (+ Possible)
  • 4 to 6 cameras coming in 2024
  • GFX100SII with X-T5 retro style body and no 8K video and lack of many video functions
  • X100V successor almost done. 40 MP biggest possibility
  • Highly Reliable
  • X-Pro4 updated to X-T5 performance with normal flip screen. But another source it has still the mini-LCD on the back. New film simulation
  • X100V with IBIS and OIS and 160MP High resolition mode
  • Generally Reliable
  • X100V with 50mm mode (20MP resolution)
  • 2024 is the year of GFX, with GFX100SII and several GF lenses with good focus performance
  • GFX25 coming mainly for video shooting (multiple sources confirm this)
  • Basically Impossible
  • GFX200 with 200 Megapixel
  • X-T40 ready to be released with 40 megapixel
  • No Reliability Rating
  • X-E series update in summer 2024
  • GF 14-20mm coming
  • 2x TC for GFX

But hey, it’s online. Let’s have fun even if it’s just made up stuff :).
