A bunch of patents have now been published and have been reported by the Japanese website asobinet.
Based on the info provided, it is mainly it’s about:
You know my take on patents. I mean, I am still waiting for that lovely foldable Fujifilm smartphone ;).
Just saying… take them with a grain of salt.
Back in 2024 Fujifilm has announced the development of the following gear
Since then Fujifilm has released several tidbits about the Fujifilm GFX Eterna at the various trade shows.
But when will we get the full announcement?
Well, back in January 2025 an anonymous source told us it could happen June 5-8 at the Cine Gear Expo.
I did warn you to take it with a grain of salt, and I did tell you I’d give you an update on this as soon as I can.
Well…. now I can give you an update. :)
According to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm GFX Eterna should be announced in September.
We are talking of full announcement, with full specs, pre-orders and all that stuff.
But this does not mean we won’t get more details soon, and Cine Gear Expo could be a good opportunity to showcase more of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX Eterna.

Last week, Fujifilm UK launched significant rebates on nearly every 5th-generation X-Series camera—excluding the new X-M5 and the wildly popular X100VI. Now, the rest of Europe has followed suit, with similar discounts rolling out across the continent.
But keep in mind: rebates might vary by country, and even within the same market, prices can differ between retailers. The discounts listed here (in €) reflect current German store promotions, but your local deal might be slightly different.
And don’t forget to compare prices across multiple stores as there might be differences. For example:
You know why this is happening, right?
It’s all going to be impossible to sell once this beautiful camera is out ;).

Earlier today you could find the first second hand Fujifilm GFX100RF cameras available at BHphoto at a reasonable price.
Of course the units sold out instantly, so they are no longer available, but this was the price they were selling:
These were clearly returned cameras and B&H resells them for a fair price.
But not everybody simply returns their GFX100RF.
In fact, some just resell it highly overpriced online, for example for $7,000 as you can see from the screenshot here.
And this will only get worse in future, with the GFX100RF shipments put on pause due to tariffs (this is an official statement of Fujifilm made to PetaPixel, so I am not making this up. Fujifilm said that due to tariffs, certain models won’t be able for pre-order anymore as they are no longer shipped into USA).
Fujifilm UK has launched huge deals on plenty of Fujifilm X and GFX gear. Here is the full list.

Main improvements of NF-GFX v1.40 – 2025/4/13 – Version 1.40
Note: We have fixed the IBIS performance issues when activating in-body correction functions. Now there is no need to turn off the auto corrections for IBIS. But if you prefer to manually set the correction in camera menu, you may still disable the auto corrections. To disable it for individual lens: change the corresponding configuration item’s value to 0.

Fujifilm managers talked to DPReview. You can read a summary below and the full interview here.
Get Yours
Last year Fujifilm shared a list of 10 X mount lenses that are under consideration.
You guys voted and guess what? Fujifilm delivered (or will deliver soon) your top two most requested lenses.
The first one they gave us was the Fujinon XF500mmF5.6 and the next one will come this year, and it’s the Fujinon XF23mm pancake.
Now there are eight more on the list, and I thought it is high time to launch a new survey with the 8 remaining lenses to see if your wishes have changed also considering that in the meantime we got lenses from third parties like the Tokina atm-x 11-18mm f/2.8, which might change your priorities on what we need from Fujifilm next. Also, maybe the release of super compact cameras like the lovely Fujifilm X-M5 might now increase demand for certain lenses such as compact XC lenses.
So, feel free to vote what you want below.
Also, thanks a lot to Hiergeist for making a chart with approximate size of these potential future lenses based on preliminary details shared by Fujifilm itself, like size, weight and diameter.
You can read the potential specs shared by Fujifilm for all those lenses here.
My personal favorite?
Well, you might know how much I LOVE this lens here, so probably my top pick would be the one lens, that could replace it, such as the XF16-200mm. But let us know yours by voting below.

Last year we investigated how much gear Fujifilm launches every year (see list below). The result: between 2 to 4 cameras a year and 4 lenses a year.
So let’s see at which point we are in 2025 so far.
Gear (to be) released in 2025
So we have 4 cameras coming for sure in 2025, which matches Fujifilm’s best years in terms of number of cameras released. And while we can always hope for a 5th camera, it is also possible that in terms of cameras, this is all we get. What is sure: the Fujifilm X-Pro4 will not come in 2025.
If you look at lenses, Fujifilm has pretty much consistently released 4 lenses a year. So far we know of one coming for sure, the Fujinon GF32-90mmF3.5, and one being rumored, the Fujinon XF23mm pancake. If Fujifilm were to match the previous years, then there could be still 2 more lenses coming in 2025.
At this point in time, I have no idea which additional lenses could come, but I hope that maybe sources will reach out to us and give us a hint of what’s to come. And if that happens (and if sources agree), I will share it will all of you here on FujiRumors.
In the meantime, these are the lenses the FR community wants based on Fujifilm’s suggestions, and these are the most wanted lenses based on our own mega survey.
Gear released in 2024 – 4 cameras and 4 lenses
Gear released in 2023 – 2 cameras and 4 lenses
Gear released in 2022 – 3 cameras and 4 lenses
