Preorders for Fujifilm X-T50, GFX100SII and XF/GF Lenses Start at 2:00 AM New York Time and Here are the Links

Many asked:

when and how can you preorder the latest gear that will be announced at the imminent X Summit?

And we have the answer.

You’ll be able to preorder starting from 2:00 AM New York time (8AM Berlin Time). That’s when stores will list the Fujifilm X-T50, GFX100SII, XF16-50mm and GF500mm on their websites.

This is because the X Summit will take place at 1 AM New York time and usually Fujifilm allows pre-orders 1 hour after the start of the X Summit.

Down below you’ll find the links to several stores. They might not show the new gear right now, but at 2:00 AM New York time they will lead you to the dedicated product pages.

Also, these are affiliate links, meaning if you use them to preorder your gear, you’ll support FujiRumors.

Note: the image above is just a rendered X-T50 BHphoto page.

LEAKED: Fujifilm X-T5 and X-S20 Kit Price with XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 and GFX100SII plus GF500mm Price Confirmed

We told you already in September 2023 from a stunning Dolomite mountain peak, that the glorious Fujinon XF18-55mm f/2.8-4 would be replace by a new kit lens, the Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8.

This means it will come not only bundled with the new Fujifilm X-T50, but also with other Fujifilm cameras such as the Fujifilm X-T5 and the Fujifilm X-S20.

And today (THANKS!!!) we can also tell you the price of the bundles as well as confirming the pricing we shared earlier.

  • X-T50 body only = €1,499
  • XF 16-50mmF2.8-4.8 = €799
  • X-T50 + XF16-50 = €1,899
  • X-T50 + XC15-45 = €1,599
  • X-T5 + XF16-50 = €2,399
    X-T5 body only = €1,999
  • X-S20 + XF16-50 = €1,799
    X-S20 body only = €1,399
  • GFX100S II = $4,999 / €5,499
  • GF500mmF5.6 = €3,899

So overall you get the lens for €400 if you buy it bundled with a camera body. The XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 alone will cost €800.

LEAKED: First Image of Fujifilm GFX100S II Shows One Obvious Difference over GFX100S

Trusted sources have passed us the first image of the Fujifilm GFX100S II which you can see below (THANKS A LOT).

I know what you think.

You think: “this looks exactly like the Fujifilm GFX100S“.

But look closer, and you’ll spot an actually quite noticeable difference.

Found it?

The whole GFX100S II camera body is now wrapped in the same Bishamon texture we find on the higher end Fujifilm GFX100 II.

That’s a good news. I loved that texture when I went hands-on with the Fujifilm GFX100II.

As for the rest, the Fujifilm GFX100S II looks pretty much identical to the Fujifilm GFX100S.

What’s the Best Pick: Fujifilm GFX100SII ($5,000) or GFX100II ($7,500) or GFX100S ($4,400)?

So we just leaked the price of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100SII.

Now the question to answer is: what’s the best pick at this point?

  • Fujifilm GFX100SII – $5,000
    Fujifilm GFX100II – $7,500
    Fujifilm GFX100S – $4,400

This is a tough one to answer.

I mean, I am a very happy owner of the Fujifilm GFX100S myself, and my heart would say the GFX100S is never a bad pick, especially not at this price.

But Fujifilm really smashed the price on that model with the GFX100SII, bringing it dangerously close to the one its now heavily discounted predecessor.

It’s probably best to go for the GFX100SII at this point over the GFX100S.

Things change of course if we throw the Fujifilm GFX100II in the mix. Of course that one costs more, but it is also the flagship and it will beat the new GFX100SII in terms of specs and features.

Personally, if budget was not of concern, I’d go for the Fujifilm GFX100II right away.

But since budget is something most of us take into consideration, if I had no GFX camera and wanted to jump into digital medium format, I’d very likely wait go for the Fujifilm GFX100SII.

Why?

It’s part of Fuji’s 5th generation family, hence we can expect it to get more firmware love over the years. And it will have Reala Ace, better autofocus and many other good stuff that comes with the 5th generation platform.

Things would drastically change though if Fujifilm were to offer the GFX100S at $3,000. At this point it would be a deal too good to be true, and quite frankly a price where also plenty of full frame camera makers would start to worry.

I mean, 100 megapixel medium format in a camera body that is even slightly smaller than some full frame mirrorless cameras out there such as this one, would become a serious temptation for many out there. And it would also be my pick as a first GFX camera.

But as it stands now, I recommend to buy the Fujifilm GFX100SII or, if budget allows for it, go straight for the GFX100II.

Anyway… let us know in the survey below what your top pick would be.

As a First GFX camera, I'd Buy...
