Fujifilm X-T100

Hey all…

So you really missed it? I just had birthday!!!

But don’t worry… I am so busy at the moment, I almost forgot that I have birthday by myself, seriously.

Luckily a source didn’t forget it, and decided to make me… and hence all of you.. a little rumor-birthday present :).

It’s about the Fujifilm X-T100.

When we first shared the first Fujifilm X-T100 rumor back in September 2017 (!!!) we told you that this will be a camera that will cost less than the Fujifilm X-T20.

A few days later, we were told it will have a Bayer sensor, hence joining the X-A series as Fujifilm’s so far only Bayer sensor cameras.

Well, this morning I had a chat with a source, and it passed me two more rumors about the Fujifilm X-T100

  • 24 Megapixel Bayer sensor
  • Selfie Screen

If true, then this would be Fuji’s first DSLR-style camera (centered viewfinder with hump), to have a selfie screen.

Unlike the Fujifilm X70 and X-A cameras, the screen won’t tilt upwards, since there is the viewfinder in the way. The source could not give me further details (it does not know if it tilts down or out on the side), but it is sure the screen is “Selfie-fit”.

Of course I asked further details, but the source does not know more at this moment. However, I submitted a bunch of questions, and it told me it will try to find out more about it, if possible. If you have questions too, drop them in the comments… the source will read them and eventually add them to my list of questions.

But this is just the beginning… follow FujiRumors on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter to get more rumors :)

And Now Profoto Denies Plans for A1 for Fujifilm

Share

You might remember, how back in September 2017, Profoto USA said here, that they are going to release the Fujifilm version of their A1 studio light.

A few months later, in November, Profoto announced that pre-orders and sales for the Profoto A1 are very strong, hence the Canon/Nikon version will be delayed… and as a consequence also any other version, which should have followed after CaNikon.

But here comes the bad news.

FR-reader gkutar (check out his instagram here) had a talk with Profoto, and he asked when we will finally get the Fujifilm version.

The answer was the one you can see in the screenshots below.

J.B. Camera Designs Wooden Grip-Base for Fujifilm X-H1 Available

Share

JB Camera Designs just announced their wooden grip-base for Fujifilm X-H1 cameras. It will be available soon at their AmazonUS store here.

This is one of my personal favorite grips to date…I love the look and feel of our Wood Grip-Base on my new Fujifilm X-H1! Available in three different materials: Bamboo, Padauk, and Walnut. Each unique grip is handmade and finished here in Oklahoma. I think Fujifilm X-H1 is just about the perfect ergonomic mirrorless camera, but the Grip-Base adds that little extra room for your pinky finger – while giving your camera a unique look and solid extra protection.

Polaroid Says: “Fujifilm Controls 99% of Instax Film Market, But We Are Growing and Have Very Interesting Products Coming”

Polaroid Vs. Fujifilm

Fujifilm and Polaroid are right now battling hard.

As we reported here, Polaroid wants Fujifilm to pay millions of dollars in annual royalty, because they claim Fuji’s Instant Square Film borders are copied from the iconic Polaroid film.

We will keep you updated with the evolution of this battle, but in the meantime, Polaroid Originals (that’s how Polaroid is called after it has been bought by the Impossible Project) gave an interview to the French site focus-numerique, where they talk, amongst the others, about Fujifilm.

Polaroid says (google translated from French):

“We are growing, but in terms of the analog instant film market as a whole, Fujifilm is the dominant player. It controls 99% of the market.”

They do seem confident though, that they will take some of the market share away from Fujiflm:

“Q: What strategy do you adopt to face Fujifilm’s competition? Are you planning to produce smaller films?”

A: We have very interesting projects on the side of our equipment, but nothing we can reveal for the moment.”

I must say, I do like (and was considering to buy) the Polaroid Zip. And IMHO it is never good, if a company has a monopoly. So I do hope that Polaroid will release some awesome products in near future, that will finally put some pressure on Fujifilm… maybe to motivate Fujifilm to make the long awaited Instax SP-Wide printer!!!!!

Also Leica tried to enter the Instax market, with the Leica Sofort back in 2016. It uses uses Fujifilm’s Instax film, so it contributes to the 99% market share of Fujifilm.

Overall, Instax is an absolut winner for Fujifilm. It’s half a decade now that Instax products dominate the OVERALL camera sales ranking at AmazonUS, and at times, where the X-series was massively losing money, the earnings made with Instax products where used to fuel the R&D for the X-series.

In case you missed it… in the documentary “How Fujifilm survived the digital age” that we shared here, a Fujifilm Instax employee says they simply can’t keep production up with the high demand.
