Just 24 hours after the previous new firmware rollout for several cameras, Fujifilm has also released the long awaited and major firmware updates for the Fujifilm GFX100 and X-S10, as well as a new firmware for the Fujifilm GFX100S.
FujiRumors will provide all details and download links down below.
ATTENTION: the images you see above refer to the GFX100S registration file, and NOT to the GFX50S MKII. The first three specs sheets only refer to FF210001, hence GFX50S MKII
We already told you 2 months ago here, that the registered FF210001 camera is the Fujifilm GFX50S MKII.
Now Nokishita spotted the FCC registration with a few more details.
Fujifilm’s unreleased digital camera “FF210001” has also passed FCC certification. Equipped with Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b / g / n) and Bluetooth. Is the size almost the same as GFX100S? The planned release date of detailed materials at this time is August 27, 2021
Since nokishita says it, I will report about it. But I wouldn’t place my money on an August 27 announcement. The size should be close to the one of the GFX100S, as you can see above from the diagram of the GFX100S that nokishita included.
As we already told you, the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII will feature the same sensor of the original Fujifilm GFX50S, hence non-BSI and non-PDAF 50 Megapixel.
I will investigate and give you more details as soon as I can.

Fujifilm has published its financial results for Fiscal Year 2020 (from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021).
So how did Fujifilm perform in the year of the COVID-19 pandemic?
In a nutshell:
For the imaging solution, this translated in an operating income that amounted to ¥15.6 billion (down 37.8% year-over-year).
It is curious they do not mention the Fujifilm X-T4 in their reports, which hit the market in spring 2020. Maybe it’s the camera that suffered most from the pandemic, as it was released right when the pandemic started, factories were shutting down and there was the biggest uncertainty on how the pandemic would evolve.
And once the situation was getting more clear and better, Fujifilm had already a mini X-T4 on the market, the X-S10, which was smaller, more affordable, mainstream ergonomic choices and IBIS, making it probably a top pick over the X-T4 for many. Plus the X-T3 saw some substantial rebates, so if you don’t need IBIS and hate selfie screens, the X-T3 was still the better choice.
This time the bad timing was definitely not Fuji’s fault (as opposed to the X-H1 and X-T3 release timing), but mere bad luck.
Here are some excerpts:

Ultra-short throw projector “FUJIFILM PROJECTOR Z8000” won the highest award “Best of the Best Award”

As FujiRumors reported, Fujifilm has released several firmware updates over the last two days:
Now the Fuji Guys posted a video overview on the new firmware.
What’s curious, is that they also talk about a new firmware 1.20 for Fujifilm X-T4, which in fact has not been released. So I guess we will see it coming very soon.
And what does the X-T4 firmware bring? Well, the Fuji Guys tell us the following:
I know many of you will be skeptical right now.
Why?
Well, because here is how things went so far:
So, in 4 years of GFX series, we got 3 cameras only, hence less than one camera a year.
Fujifilm rightfully focused on giving us lenses for the system, with 12 G mount lenses launched in 4 years.
But according to our trusted sources, this will change in 2021.
In fact, I have been told that Fujifilm will launch another GFX camera in 2021. It will be more affordable than the recently launched Fujifilm GFX100S.
Expect updates.
On FujiRumors.
Very soon.
Love you!
P.S.: Don’t worry, this new GFX camera won’t use the newly registered low capacity Fujifilm NP-70S battery. That battery is for… oh well, you’ll see soon enough. Just follow FujiRumors ;)

Let’s start the week with a mini-roundup dedicated to the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear.
Missing in the roundup list is the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR. But do we really need reviews here? I have already put my XF27mmF2.8 for sale on the facebook market as I will replace it with the new version as soon as I can. I don’t care about the reviews. The optics are the same, which means the image quality is fantastic for such a small lens. All I want is an aperture ring, which is enough for me to “upgrade”.
As for sales on FujiRumors, the best selling gear is the Fujifilm GFX100S, followed by the X-E4 (all time best selling X-E camera on FR), the GF80mmF1.7 and finally its basically a tie between the XF70-300mm and XF27mmF2.8 R WR.
You can now save up to 23% on Wasabi NP-W235 batteries for Fujifilm X-T4 and Fujifilm GFX100S.
I know Wasabi batteries are among the most used third party batteries in the FujiRumors community.
Here are the various options:
