We told you yesterday that you should not expect the Fujifilm X100V replacement to come in 2023, hence it is not one of the two registered Fujifilm cameras (FF230001and FF230002).
Today we confirm it and we have received permission from sources to tell you this:
The Fujifilm X100V replacement will be announced in early 2024!
But we also know one more thing. Fujifilm two registrations filed so far: the Fujifilm FF230001 and FF230002.
Now, assuming that one of the two will be the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement, this leaves all possible options open for the second one.
Well, not really all options. I mean, I simply can’t see a Fujifilm X-H3 or Fujifilm X-H3s coming in September, as those cameras are hardly 1 year old (or less). And also not the Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-S30.
But other than that, we can hope for:
a Fujifilm X-T5s with 26MP stacked sensor of X-H2S
a Fujifilm X-Pro4 maybe with some curious solutions as many hope for example a monochrome sensor
a Fujifilm X-E5 which is not a dead line according to Fujifilm managers
the long awaited Fujifilm X-T40
the much wished Fujifilm X80 or Fujifilm XF20
the revival of Fuji’s entry level cameras with the Fujifilm X-T300, Fujifilm X-A8, Fujifilm X-A30 or Fujifilm X-M2
less likely in my opinion the Fujifilm GFX100S successor, Fujifilm GFX50R successor or Fujifilm GFX50SII successor, as I can’t see Fuji launching two GFX cameras on the same day (they never did that in the past, but never say never)
And in fact, I asked you to vote on which camera you’d like to get on September 12 and you can see the results here.
X100V successor is NOT possible
At this point you’ve noticed something: there is no Fujifilm X100V successor (X200, X100VI, X100 whatever it will be called) in the list.
Why?
Well, because despite being one of your top wished cameras (second only to another camera), and despite fake rumors already being shared about the X100V to come on September 12, I can now tell you with 110% certainty that there will not be any Fujifilm X100V replacement coming in 2023.
Trust me on this guys. No X100V successor in 2023.
I guess Fujifilm has no hurry at all to come out with a successor, given the fact, explained by Fujifilm managers, that if the world would stop to order X100V today, it would still take them 3 months to be able to ship all X100V orders placed until yesterday.
Seen from this perspective, the biggest problem of the Fujifilm X100VI (or whatever) is the terrific success of the X100V.
Feeling Lucky?
“I feel lucky and will click the links to see if the X100V is in stock” :)
I get many emails from FR-readers with wishes about all possible things regarding the Fujifilm system.
Today I decided to catch up with and share some of those wishes.
This time we don’t share camera related wishes, but only lens, firmware and more, as otherwise there would be simply just too much to cover and discuss at once. An additional wishlist roundup with even more wishes will follow later on.
So, we just leaked the date of the next Fujifilm X Summit, which will happen on September 12.
Now I am curious to know what you guys are hoping for to come.
That’s why I have now launched a survey that includes plausible, less plausible and borderline impossible options.
I’ll not include 110% impossible cameras, which would be for example a Fujifilm X-H3 or Fujifilm X-H3s, as those cameras are hardly 1 year old (or less). Or the Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-S30.
What we will inlcude are the Fujifilm X-T5s (X-T5 with 26MP stacked sensor of X-H2S), Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm X-T40, Fujifilm X100V successor (X200, X100VI, X100 whatever), Fujifilm X80, Fujifilm XF20, Fujifilm X-T300, Fujifilm X-A8, Fujifilm X-A30, Fujifilm X-M2, Fujifilm GFX100 successor, Fujifilm GFX100S successor, Fujifilm GFX50R successor and Fujifilm GFX50SII successor.
So, I am going to share the date with you today, but I can’t 100% exclude that there will be changes. And if there will be, I will let you know.
With that said, here is the date.
According to our trusted sources, the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on September 12.
Yes, that’s still quite far away. And yes, that makes it even more “risky” for me to share, as there is lots of time until that date and changes can happen anytime.
But if I share the date anyway with you, it means that I have good reasons to be confident about this date. A confidence that is given to me by our trusted sources.
Déjà vu Anyone?
Some of you guys might have some Déjà vu now and remember that date from somewhere.
Well, I actually have reported about that date a while back here, when thanks to our reader, who digged in the depths of the registration, we spotted the registrations for two new cameras, the FF220002 on May 26 and the FF230001 on September 12.
In that article I warned you though that usually registrations don’t actually fit with the real announcement date. I’ve checked back and here are some examples:
X-S20: registrations says May 26 / reality May 24
GFX100S: registrations says January 29 / reality January 27
X-T200: registrations says January 24 / reality January 23
And in 90% of the cases registrations don’t even give any date at all (or even become public only AFTER the camera has already been announced, as it was the case of the X-E4 registration).
But this time around the registration could well fit the real announcement date according to our sources.
Don’t Miss Out on the Fun
Don’t miss out on the fun ahead of the X Summit, with LOTS (!!!) of rumors to come (I promise ;)) only here on FujiRumors and, if you want, also on my YouTube channel, where not only you will get all the rumors, but often also some travel tips as I will show you around one of the most beautiful places the world has to offer.
Because new gear is nice and good. But investing in experiences and travels is just as gratifying if not more. And it’s one of the best ways to make good use of our awesome gear.
And here are the June Youtube videos ranked by popularity. The 2nd and 4th video are from the Dolomites… they might be worth to watch just for the scenery ;).
Added the function of memory parameters when the power is off. The button on the adapter ring switches the A mode and the P mode, and the set parameters can be saved when the power is off.
Calibrated the aperture table of the lens and the adjustable range of the aperture value.
The EXIF information of the photos is added, and the photos taken can query the detailed information of the lens, focal length, aperture and other information and the company’s LOGO.
Added lens anti-shake function.
Added lens switching AF->MF focus mode.
Improve focus speed and focus stability.
62 lenses are compatible with GFX50X, GFX50S and GFX100S cameras.
The camera with non-contact manual lens keeps flashing and cannot take pictures.
Now, I can see the “rumors” about the Fujifilm GFX50R successor, the Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm X-T6, Fujifilm X-T40, Fujifilm X80, Fujifilm X-H3, Fujifilm X-H3S, Fujifilm X100VI or X200 and more pop up. But those “rumors” appeared also ahead of the X Summit on May 24, and of course none of it materialized. But I guess misleading readers for traffic and good SEO is a great deal for them.
FujiRumors will let you know what the real deal is… clickbait and misleading free as usual ;).

The patent has been found at cmiitid by the Japanese website asobinet.
However, I have excluded all the X-S20 rumors from the list, as at this point it’s not a problem if you missed them, since the real thing is now out and you can get all the details and specs at the dedicated pages.
Interestingly, despite all the rumors and new gear, the most read article was about the new firmware updates, which shows that sometimes we want to get improved what we already have rather than new gear.
May was also my most active month on YouTube so far.
In this case we will include also the rumor related videos, simply because many of them are filmed while I was out on several locations around my home and you might enjoy to watch a bit of the Dolomites, the Road of Wine and so forth.
