Italian photographer Roberto owned Fujifilm X series gear, but at some point followed the siren songs of full frame Sony.
Now, after using Sony for a while, he switched back to Fujifilm.
In his (Italian) video he explains why.
But don’t worry, you are lucky that FujiRumors is a polyglot (I speak 4 languages), so I am going to translate it for you ;).
As you know, I have been to photokina twice (2016 report here – 2018 report here).
Both times it was fantastic, just for the sheer magnitude of the event.
But then, in my opinion, Photokina did an error: they dropped their 2 years cycle and decided to take place every year in May.
I did predict: Photokina will become a smaller regional show!
Oh boy, I wish I wouldn’t have said that, as I got heavily attacked for it. Apparently some thought the brand “photokina” was too big, that no company would ever skip it, and they will continue to time their biggest releases according to Photokina.
Well, turns out that even FujiRumors can be right now and then. ;)
Olympus, Nikon and even the German “home company” Leica dropped Photokina already, as we reported here.
There was no mention about Fujifilm, not even in the most recent Photokina press release here, where the heads of Photokina traveled to Japan to meet several camera companies.
So I asked around for clarification, and I have been told that Fujifilm will NOT be at Photokina 2020.
A pity!
Well, at least I won’t make errors like these anymore (or desperate things like this) once I go back teaching after 2 days of Photokina :).

As you can see from our Fujifilm camera release timeline, Fujifilm usually released a new X100 camera every two years, but this time, they waited unusually long, and we gave you 3½ reasons why Fujifilm is wating so long.
But at some point, it had to happen, and now I can tell you when.
The Fujifilm X100V will see the light of the day in February 2020.
Moreover, our sources tell us that the price should be around $1,500, but that’s just the current estimate. However, in terms of price, things can change from here until launch, but right now Fujifilm is gravitating towards this price tag.

Yesterday, while desperately searching for some school material and turning upside down my little rented apartment, I stumbled on my old Canon Powershot SD850 IS, a powerhouse sporting a staggering 8 megapixel 1/2.5 ” CCD sensor… and… hold on tight… an impressive (and useless) ISO sensibility of 1600!
And, oh boy, how much I missed it. And I don’t mean the camera itself, but the time, before my photographic fall took place.
This is (quickly) what happened.
Fujifilm changed again their current X/GFX savings. Here is what’s new:

The Fujifilm X-H1 is now marked as discontinued at BHphoto in basically all its configurations.
Just a few days ago, the same happened to the Fujifilm X-T2 here.
The era of Fujifilm’s 24 megapixel cameras is over.
But I feel I need to say a few words about the Fujifilm X-H1, a camera that didn’t get the success it deserved, mainly for a very unlucky timing by Fujifilm: releasing the more powerful Fujifilm X-T3 just half a year later.
I have no idea how Fujifilm Japan thought this could work out well. Maybe they thought that IBIS alone is enough to keep the X-H1 attractive also once the X-T3 hits the market. But apparently they were wrong.
And yet, at its very last moments, the Fujifilm X-H1 lived moments of glory, by selling like hot cakes thanks to massive rebates.
Ok, I hear you say… Fujifilm X-H2 is coming.
Well, the Fujifilm X-H2 is on Fuji’s “to do” list, and it will come, but Fuji won’t release it in 2020.
The Fujifilm X-H1 is running out of stock, but you can still find it available in some stores, for example at Adorama here.
So, if you want to grab one, you better do it now.
