CANCELED: No More Fujifilm X Summit in April – Trusted Source

Share

Back in January Fujifilm officially announced the next Fujifilm X Summit for April.

But today a trusted source reached out to us and told us that Fujifilm has now decided to cancel the April X summit event.

I have no idea if Fujifilm will make an official announcement about the event being deleted, or if they’ll just let April pass and hope we simply forgot about it.

But what I am sure is this: there is no X summit in April. That’s Trusted Stuff.

Evidently something did not go according to plan.

Fujifilm Spain Displays Camera Roadmap with New “Disruptive” Models Coming in May and September

Share

During the presentation of the Instax Mini 12, Fujifilm Spain displayed a slide showing the Fujifilm camera roadmap, with new models to come in May and September. The Spanish website Fujistas reports:

The presentation […] had an unexpected surprise: a slide that unveiled the camera roadmap in 2023. The graph contrasts the last two new cameras in both Instax and the X Series:

His conclusion: there will be two X series cameras and two Instax cameras coming in the next 7 months.

Since Fujifilm has announced the Fujifilm X Summit for April, Fujistas speculates that the X summit could take place in the final days of April and hence the release of the first camera on the roadmap could be in May.

Fujifilm Spain has described these four novelties as “disruptive”

Panasonic Announces Development of Organic CMOS Sensor that Realizes Good Color Reproduction under all Kinds of Light

Share

Myth of the Organic Sensor

10 year after the joint Panasonic and Fujifilm announcement, where the organic sensor was first unveiled to the masses with great optimism and claims of glorious performances and dynamic range, we haven’t seen anything coming to the market, expect for a camcorder prototype shown by Panasonic back in 2019.

The last update we got was back in October 2021, when Panasonic unveiled a 35MP organic Super35 CMOS sensor with global shutter.

Well, today we got another update from Panasonic, where they announced the “development of organic CMOS image sensor technology that realizes good color reproduction even under all kinds of light sources“. You can read the full press release below.

Is Fujifilm Still Involved?

Unlike the first announcement in 2013, that was made by Panasonic and Fujifilm together, this time it’s only Panasonic, who released a press release regarding the organic sensor development.

So the question I guess is if Fujifilm has pulled out of the organic sensor development.

The last statement in this regard comes from Panasonic, who in October 2018 said they are still working on it with Fujifilm.

So at least until 2018, Fujifilm and Panasonic did work on it together, but I don’t know if that’s the case still today. I will try to figure that out and in case let you know.

UPDATE: Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 will NOT be available for Fujifilm X mount

Share

Whops, I owe you a correction.

Yesterday Venus Optics contacted me and asked to share on FujiRumors the news about their new Laowa Argus 28mm f/1.2 is coming.

They did not specify the mounts, but since they know I cover only Fujifilm stuff, I assumed they’d pass me only Fujifilm related information and I did share the article here.

But sadly that was not the case.

After the scepticism some of you expressed in the comments, I did contact Venus Optics again, and I can now confirm that the Laowa Argus 29mm f/1.2 will NOT be coming for Fujifilm X mount.

I do apologize for the error and I have now clarified with Venus Optics that further communication between us shall only happen if Fujifilm related gear is involved or/and the available mounts are clearly specified.

This should make sure that such errors won’t occur in future.

Sorry guys.
