Get Rumors in a Different Way: Join 10,000 YouTube Subscribers and Where do We go From Here?

Talking rumors is nice and good.

But taking pictures is even better.

That’s why, despite having a busy life like all of you, with a family to take care of and a day job that claims lots of my time, I’ve tried, for as much as possible, to bring you rumors from outdoors when I am out with my Fujifilm gear.

So you could see:

I will be honest: running this YouTube channel the way I like to do it is very time consuming (filming at home would be much faster and cost efficient). But I either run things the way I like it, or I don’t run them.

This is why I would like to try to keep it up. And having reached 10,000 followers certainly is something I am happy about. And not because I am making a whole lot of money out of it (unless you consider $800 before taxes in 8 months of work a great salary – see the stats here).

I am happy about it, simply because it brings me joy to share the beauty of my country, Italy, to as many fellow Fujifilm X shooters as possible.

But while 10,000 is a respectable number, it would be easier to justify the time, effort and money I put into the YouTube channel if the number of followers would go up significantly.

That’s why, if you haven’t done it yet, feel free to join my YouTube channel here. Your subscription would be an important step to keep me motivated and going on with the channel. What I can promise you is this:

  • no brainless spam to please the YouTube algorithm
  • I’ll share only the most relevant Fujifilm news and rumors (and rarely some thoughts of mine)

And to be clear and honest: FujiRumors, the blog, will be the place where you will always find every rumor. It’s just on YouTube you will get them from around my home (if my time allows for it).

However, on the FujiRumors blog you will just find much more content, such as reviews, debates, surveys, deals and what not. I usually publish 800 to 1,000 articles a year.

That’s why I also warmly recommend you to subscribe our newsletter, where once a week (of even less often) you’ll get a recap of the most relevant things that happened in the Fujifilm world.

So guys, thanks a lot for sticking around with me during this Fujifilm journey.

I wish you to stay happy, healthy and strong.

Top 3 Cameras Fujifilm Should Make for Instant Success (X and GFX)

We recently told you that Fujifilm is preparing a huge start in 2024:

Now, of course most of the talk and speculations in our previous articles was gravitating around successors to existing camera lines.

And it makes a whole of sense to focus on refreshes of current cameras, nothing prohibits us to dream big and think and completely different cameras.

So what I will do is to share three cameras that I think would turn out to be an instant and massive success for Fujifilm.

And I am not talking of weird and risky concepts. I am talking of cameras that would sell very well for sure in my opinion.

So, let’s go through them and let me think what you think about.

Also, feel free to drop your own ideas in the comments.

Black Friday is Getting Out of Control: Pay €100 only for XF56mmF1.2 (bundled with already discounted X-T5)

X-T5 Madness

The German store Calumet is offering a superdeal on this Fujifilm X-T5 bundle.

In short: for €100 only you get the XF56mmF1.2 R on top of your already rebated X-T5.

You pay a total of just €1,778 (X-T5 for €1,679 + XF56mmF1.2 R for €100).

Check out this crazy deal here.

Not bad of a deal considering that the X-T5 was launched last year for €2,000.

I don’t know, but this might be an error and might be removed shortly. So act fast if this deal interests you.

** UPDATE: Deal seems to have been removed

Fujifilm to Announce More Cameras in First Months of 2024 than in the Entire Year 2023 – Which Cameras Do You Think will Come? VOTE NOW

Fujifilm Future Poll

INSANE DEAL (only for Black Friday)

We just told you that Fujifilm will announce more cameras in the first months of 2024 than in the entire year of 2023.

All the answers will follow on FujiRumors. But in the meantime I thought it could be fun to vote on which cameras you think will come.

But note a few things:

  • this is a survey on gear that you THINK will come, not what you wish will come
  • this is why I stayed rather “conservative” with my poll options and mainly only include successors to current camera lines

Regarding the successors, a very important note:

  • it is not clear if all current X/GFX the lines will get a successor. Will there ever be a GFX50RII or GFX100RII or GFX100SII or X80 or X-E5 etc?
  • I will include them anyway in this survey, just to see how much demand there is for such cameras among the FR community

And now a quick explanation on the survey itself.

  • recently refreshed cameras will not be included in the survey (no Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-H3/S)
  • X100V successor is not included in the list, as that one will come for sure in early 2024

And if you Need to go Wild… ;)

There is always a possibility that Fujifilm will launch something new, hence a new type of camera or new camera line.

And while you can’t vote on it, you can still express your wildest wishes in the comments below. At a later stage we can make a separate survey if it’s something you’d like to vote on.

Which Fujifilm Cameras do You THINK will be Announced in the First Months of 2024 (max 1 pick)

RUMOR: Big Start for Fujifilm in 2024 with Multiple (and Record?) Camera Announcements

Starting Big in 2024

So, we told you that there won’t be any new Fujifilm gear announcement in 2023.

But don’t worry, Fujifilm is working full power right now.

In fact, we have been told that in the “first months of 2024″ Fujifilm will announce more cameras than in the entire year 2023.

Considering that we got a total of 2 cameras in 2023, this means we can expect three or more cameras coming in the first months of 2024.

I have checked back, and as far as I can see, in 13 years of X/GFX series there has been only one year in which Fujifilm launched more than two cameras in the first months of the year (without counting the entry level cameras that were made by Xacti Corporation and not by Fujifilm).

It was back in 2017 when Fujifilm released the Fujifilm GFX 50S, Fujifilm X100F and Fujifilm X-T20.

But even if we would count the Xacti cameras (X-T100, X-T200, X-A5, X-A20 etc), we would get a total of 3 years out of 13 in which Fujifilm kicked off the year with more than two cameras, and also in that case we reach 3 cameras max (as in 2017).

So, by launching three or more Fujifilm cameras (made by Fujfiilm) in the first months of 2024, Fujifilm is out for a record release rate, matching or exceeding the announcements we had only once in 13 years of Fujifilm X/GFX history.

Not bad ;).

One Camera is Sure

Now, thanks to our sources we know already what one of these cameras will be: the replacement of this camera here.

What will the other cameras be?

Well, you know what you have to do: just stay tuned on FujiRumors, and you will know it.

And what about lenses?

Well, we know that the next XF lens to come will be the replacement of this lens here.

But even though I have no further solid lens rumors right now, I do hope to be able to share more soon.
