You Voted: Fujifilm X-H2 beats X-T4 and X100V as Most Wanted 2020 Camera and Only 3% want Full Frame Fujifilm

Share

Well, looking at the results of our most desired Fujifilm camera 2020 survey, the Fujifilm X-H2 comes out on top of the list.

In fact, many hoped to see an X-H2 already under our 2019 Christmas tree.

However, as FujiRumors always told you, the X-H2 was never planed to hit the market in 2019, and to my knowledge there won’t be one even in 2020.

So what, did Fujifilm kill the X-H line?

Absolutely not!

In fact, I say, repeat and underline again: Fujifilm has plans for a Fujifilm X-H2. Just give them a bit more time, ok?

I hope this helps to make you feel better.

In our survey, Fujifilm X-H2 is very closely followed by the Fujifilm X-T4 and the upcoming Fujifilm X100V.

On the forth position, we find the Fujifilm X-T3s, basically an X-T3 with IBIS.

Now, we will surely get the Fujifilm X100V in February and we won’t get the Fujifilm X-H2 in 2020. And what about the Fujifilm X-T3 successor?

Well, we already told you in our future cameras release timeline, that, if Fujifilm respects their past refresh rate, the successor to the Fujifilm X-T3 (which is still selling strong and top recommended by DPR) could be a possibility for 2020, but it remains to see if it really comes out, and which form and shape it would eventually take.

Also worth to notice: only 3% of FR-readers want a full frame Fujifilm.

What did FujiRumors vote?

Well, I gave a vote to the Fujifilm X-H2 and to the Fujifilm GFX-T, which is something like the Fujifilm X-G mock-up that Fuji officially displayed to the press. That camera, I am sure, would be a home run for the the GFX system.

Anyway, whatever comes, and whatever will be under our 2020 Christmas tree, just follow FujiRumors to find it out before anyone else ;).

Fujifilm FF190003 Camera Launch Postponed to January 24

Share

As you might know, Fujifilm has currently two registered and unreleased cameras

To my knowledge, the FF190005 is the code name for the Fujifilm X100V, which, as we exclusively rumored already here, should be announced in February.

So the FF190003 is another Fujifilm camera, and previous menu screen leaks of that camera, indicated January 17 as release date.

But, as you can see above, now Nokishita spotted here a request by Fujifilm to postpone the release of marketing material related to the FF190003 to January 24.

The Rumor Year 2019: The Right, the Wrong and the Still to Come!

The Rumor Year 2019

As you know, I am a teacher, and usually it’s me, who has to judge and give votes to others.

But not today, as it’s time for our yearly 2019 rumors check, and to see if I did my homework well or not.

Also, there will be an accuracy rating of those rumors, that still could not be verified.

Keep in mind, there could be further rumors before the end of the year, in which case I will update this list!

Ready? Cool, so let’s start,

But be warned: I will be incredible severe to myself, as I will include in the wrong rumor section, rumors that were actually correct at the time of sharing, but just turned out wrong because Fujifilm changed plans.

It’s the case for example of the new lens roadmaps. In fact, just a few days after our rumor, top Fujifilm manager confirmed here, that indeed there would have been new roadmaps in 2019, but 2019 is now ending, and nothing came. So I was wrong, but so was the top Fujifilm manager.

DPRTV 2020 Camera Companies Resolutions: Fujifilm Should Merge X-T and X-H Line and Sony Steal Fujifilm Colors

Share

2020 Camera Resolutions

DPReviewTV has published their 2020 resolutions for every camera company, of course including Fujifilm.

Regarding Fujifilm, they say:

When asked if Fujifilm should merge X-T and X-H line, most of you guys voted you prefer to keep both lines well separated, and I believe that would make sense, for the reasons I explained in this article.

What I believe would make sense, though, is to give us a Fujifilm X-T4 with IBIS and maybe a bigger battery. Do that, and you’ll make tons of Fujifilm shooters happy.

I am not sure about the Fujifilm X-A7 flippy screen, though, as this would make it tilt in the wrong direction, when shooting portraits. Maybe that’s more something for the Fujifilm X-H2.

Neopan 400 is a much loved film, as you can see from these customer reviews. So make it happen, Fuji!

As recently measured, Fujifilm has currenty the worse face/eye AF. But I would not worry about that too much. A major improvement is coming via firmware, soon.

You can see the full video above, where, among the others, the recommend Sony to steal Fujifilm colors ;).

Merry X mas

Hey there,

I hope Santa Claus was good to you, and put some nice presents under your Christmas tree.

What did I find under my Christmas tree?

Well, our Japanese source put a sweet rumor under my tree, and I am confident that soon enough I will be allowed to unpack it here in front of all FujiRumors readers, hoping you like it.

But today it’s not the time of rumors, but to say something that is surely much more important.

In fact, I would like to sincerely and deeply say merry Christmas to…

  • to our amazing sources, who are always helping me to find the right track in the thick rumor jungle, making sure we get an exciting rumor start also in 2020
  • to all those, who supported me by using affiliate links or clicking on google banners. It’s really as simple as that: without your help, this blog would have to close tomorrow morning
  • to all those FR-readers, who shared Fujifilm news with me, commented kindly, criticized my work constructively, corrected my English ;), voted a survey, shared an article on social media or simply stopped by to read this blog
  • to those, who donated a few bucks for free education in Cambodia, by using the paypal donate button on FujiRumors

I am grateful for you, for this community, for this little space on the web and in my life. And today I raise a glass of good red wine for a virtual toast with all of you!

have great holidays… all of you,

You can NO LONGER make donation to FR via Paypal. The paypal link on FujiRumors will redirect you to KNGO, an NGO who gives access to free education to poor kids in Cambodia, and which we raised $5,000 for in the past.

You find the paypal link in the FR sidebar. Donate even just a few bucks helps a lot.

It’s the helpers, who make this world a better place.
