Fujifilm seems unstoppable. 2016 was such a great year, but the start of 2017 is awesome too. Tons of rumors have already been shared… so time for a recap.
Keep in mind, some of these rumors are from trusted sources, others not. So maybe not everything will materialize.
In January 2017 we will see:
For the rest of 2017 I’d like to dream big :-)
I’d say enough good reasons to stay tuned on FujiRumors ;)

greetz…
The graphite/silver Fujifilm X-Pro2/X-T2 and XF23mmF2 will be announced before January 19th (when Fujifilm will launch the GFX, X-T20 and X100F). So we are going to have 2 separate announcements in January :)
It’s a Super-Fuji Month… so make sure not to miss anything by:
It’s done… another Fuji Year is over. I hope I could give you some fun moments in 2016, even though you had to go through a total of 860 articles written in my crappy English ;) .
I’ve tried to give my best, also in my personal email exchange with you (gmail says that I’m now reaching 4,700 emails written in 2016… not counting the easily 1,000+ private messages on Facebook and Twitter).
You can be sure that I’ll put all my passion/fun/excitement (and a lot of time) into this blog also in 2017, in order to make your time here on FujiRumors the most informative & exciting as possible.
A wonderful, healthy and fun 2017 to everybody out there… and may you capture many great moments with your X (or G)-series camera :)

shared by asgy photography Purple Grid Artifacts Image Error X-T2 (and X-pro 2) with backlight.
NOTE: As you will see in the thread, I’ve shared a sample taken recently with my X-T1 + 35/1.4, where I recreate the same issue. I actually do not consider it an issue (at least on my X-T1) because it hardly ever occurs (even if I try hard to re-create it appositely), and if it occurs, I can make the artifacts disappear by very slightly changing the angle. Moreover, I hear about the same issue occuring with other mirrorless camera brands. It might be an issue more or less common to many mirrorless cameras, due to the reflection of the light hitting the sensor on the rear element of the lens.
My Personal Conclusion: For me, this has absolutely no influence on my real life shooting. And if you check out the images below, you will see X-T2 backlit images taken with no artifacts at all. So personally I do not care about this. And how rare this issue is, is proven by the fact, that in all these years, nobody ever complaint about grid artifacts on the X-T1… at least until today… ;)

Fujifilm has big plans apparently, since they just chose to launch a Photo Event in Kyoto with the important name “FujiKina 2017” (in reference to the biggest photography show in the world, the Photokina in Cologne).
Participants will also have the opportunity to Touch & Try the latest and greatest Fujifilm gear.
Of course it’s just a coincidence, that the event starts 2 days after this ;)
Here is the full (google translated) announcement:
Fujifilm Corporation (President: Kenji Ueno) will hold “FUJIKINA 2017 Kyoto” for two days on Saturday, January 21, 201 (Sunday), 2017.
At this event, we will exhibit photographs depicting the themes of “the world of the large format”, “the world of the center finder style”, and “the world of the range finder style” with three galleries scattered in the city of Kyoto. In addition, we have a touch & try that you can experience the latest models, talk shows and studio demonstrations by domestic and international famous photographers who love the X series, free rental service of X series and free quick maintenance service (reservation system) We are doing our favorite thing for pleasing everyone who has patrons.
In addition, if you pre-register for this event, you will receive a memorable item as a bonus.
I am waiting for your visit from the bottom of my heart.

I hear whispers… secrets, too fragile to be unveiled at this stage. But whisper can become rumors, and rumors can become facts… and when the moment comes, I will take you with me into the deepest secrets of the Fujifilm rabbit hole. I hope somebody out there will follow me in this journey… and if you do, well, then we are going to have fun! :-)
All I can anticipate now, is that the Fuji year 2016 was great for sure… but you will also love to see what hits the market in 2017 ♥. Fujifilm X100F, GFX and X-T20 as well as new lenses… and, who knows… maybe some surprises. And I’m sure of one thing: even the last folks out there, who ignored Fujifilm so far, will hear the name of the cameras we’ve learned to love so much :-)
So it will be very busy in the next few months over here… and as usual, it’s easy to miss the news, when I will share multiple posts a day. But with a few simple steps, you can make sure not to miss anything. So feel free to…
stay tuned…

Just recently a reliable source broke for us the news, that Fujifilm has still something in the pipeline for this year (2016).
We all started to make our guesses. Could it be the long rumored Fujifilm X-T20 or X100F? Or maybe some new colors for existing cameras, like the dark grey (graphite?) X-Pro2 or silver X-T2? Or maybe a new lens, like the XF50mm? Some also hoped to see the Fujifilm X-E3 become real.
Well, the source just dropped me one more message via rumor box and said:
This is the wonderful moment, where we all can start dreaming about the camera we desire (and let Fujifilm know about – you know that they not only read us, but even share our feedback at meetings – see here).
I wish you all a GREAT day :-)

The amazing Fujifilm year 2016 might not be over ;)
In fact, I’ve just received a hint, from a source, right it in the past (it contacts me anonymously using a nick-name), that Fujifilm is planing one more product announcement in 2016.
The source didn’t gave any other hint.
Regarding the X-series, I don’t think anything new will hit the market already in 2016. I expect the Fujifilm X-T20, dark grey (graphite?) X-Pro2, silver X-T2, X100F, XF50mm & possible surprises to be available only in 2017. But keep in mind that the source talked of “announcements“. So it’s possible that Fujifilm decided to anticipate the announcement of a certain X-related product to late 2016.
Another possibility is the official announcement of the instax square camera, that Fujifilm just started teasing on their youtube channel (see video below). However, the official instax square site says it will hit the market in spring 2017…. a bit to early for an announcement this year I think.
If there is anyone out there, who can help me to get closer to the truth regarding this announcement (or anything else), feel free to contact me at fujirumor [at] gmail [dot] com. I guarantee you will remain 100% anonymous. But if you feel more comfortable, you can create a fake email account (which will allow me to chat with you). There is also the rumor box if you want. In this case, it would be helpful if you’d give yourself a nick-name so that I can recognize you in future.
Whatever it is… don’t miss it and follow FujiRumors on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter for real time notifications.
I wish you a great start in your new week
