2021 Rumor Check: What’s Right, What’s Wrong and What’s Still to Come in 2022 (with Reliability Ranking)
In 2022 we will have for sure a very wild ride here on FujiRumors.
But before we jump on the 2022 rumor-rollercoaster, let’s look back at how things went in 2021.
And I tell you this: I will be BRUTAL to myself, because out of the 5 wrong rumors, I personally consider only 1 really wrong. Why? Well, read my notes at the bottom of the article and I think you’ll agree with me.
Note: if you wonder where the “Sigma X mount lenses coming in 2021” rumor is, well, that was a rumor we shared back in 2020, hence it is not in this list. The rumor however has been sort of confirmed a few months later by Sigma itself, who literally wrote on their social media “we may see some X mount Sigma lenses in 2021“. And after tons of teasers, even the Sigma CEO himself confirmed X mount glass is coming. Sure, I consider this a wrong rumor shared in 2020, but it is clear to me that once again it’s the parts shortage that forced Sigma to adjust their schedule.
With that out of the way, here is the 2021 rumor check:
- 83 rumors shared in 2021
- 13 rumors still to be verified (all rumors with high reliability)
- 65 correct rumors out of 70 verifiable rumors
- 5 wrong rumors out of 70 verifiable rumors
- 92,8% correct rumors
