Fujifilm Manager: “I think There will be a Fujifilm X-E4, but it Might Skip one Sensor/Processor Generation”

Share

I know, here on FujiRumors we told you that Fujifilm decided to drop the Fujifilm X-E line, which means there won’t be any Fujifilm X-E4.

It’s one of those rumors, I hope to be wrong with all my heart (but I am very confident I am not).

Now, the X-E line was always walking on a thin line, and it risked to be dropped already in the past, as you know from my X-E3 love letter.

These days I am scanning the web for any statement regarding the X-E4, that can give me some hope.

I searched long, and I found a short statement made by Italian Fujifilm manager Massimo Vaghi in a 2+ hour long Fujifilm X-T4 and X100V live chat.

COVID-19: My Best Friend Postpones His Wedding, But I Keep my Fujifilm X-T4 Pre-order ;)

Share

I owe you an update.

Back in January I told you how my best friend asked me to photograph part of his wedding.

In a follow up post, we had a vivid discussion on which gear I should use, which to buy and also other things, like how I should deal with the official photographer and much more.

The 56mm f/1.2 was top recommended, and I bought it immediately (although living under lockdown, I can only annoy my cat so far with it).

The main dilemma? Fujifilm X-T4, yes or no?

I thought about it a few days, and then, right at the Fujifilm X-T4 announcement day, I pre-ordered it for these 5 reasons.

And now comes the update.

Due to COVID-19, my friend decided to postpone his wedding to June 2021. That’s a pity, but also a fully understandable decision he made. He surely does not want his guests to go around with masks and be afraid of shaking hands on his wedding.

And my X-T4?

Sure, I won’t photograph my friends’ wedding in June, but I also won’t stop photographing!

Hence, once this situation is over, I can’t wait to get my Fujifilm X-T4 and use it on my travels and on my wonderful Dolomites again.

Oh… and Happy Easter, my fellow Fuji friends ;)
