It’s once again in Japanese and we rely on the automatic Google translation tool, which is far from optimal. I went through this pain for you and summed it up below. However, if any Japanese FR-reader has the time and would like to make a better translation for us, feel free to drop it down in the comments or send it over to me at fujirumor@gmail.com.

With that said, down below are the key points of the video as we as the video itself.

So let’s use this weekend to catch up with some coverage that has been shared since them. You can find it all down below.

But before that, in case you just came back from holiday and wonder what the heck you might have missed, here is a recap of previous Fujifilm X summit coverage articles:

Fujifilm FF210005 Registration Spotted

Nokishita spotted the registration for a new Fujifilm camera with the code name FF210005.

Fujifilm’s digital camera “FF210005” has passed Bluetooth certification. (There is a possibility of X-T30 II, but the specifications of Bluetooth described are different)

Don’t worry, there is not another MKII camera coming this year. It’s probably just the X-T30II, but I will take a look at it for you guys.

The Fujifilm X-H2?

Well, I don’t think. Registrations are spotted usually just 1 to 3 months from the camera release, and the Fujifilm X-H2 is definitely more far away.

Sometimes registrations can be spotted after a camera release, like in case of the Fujifilm X-E4.

Fujifilm Releases X-T3 WW for $100 Less Than Regular X-T3

There was a glorious Fujifilm X Summit, where Fujifilm announced new gear, new roadmaps, gave hints on future sensors and more.

But one thing that passed unnoticed was the release of the “new” Fujifilm X-T3 WW (which stands for “worldwide”) that is $100 more affordable than the regular X-T3 (even when discounted!).

It’s a Fujifilm X-T3 sold without battery charger!

At this price, the Fujifilm X-T3 is now a real steal quite frankly.

The Latest and Greatest

Fujifilm Unveils Details About Next APS-C Sensor Generation: BSI, X-Trans and Stacked!

Ok guys, the Fujifilm X summit just ended.

A lot has been shared, from X mount roadmap to GF lens roadmap, new product annoucnements and more. So check out our X summit live coverage.

What almost passed unnoticed, is the very last minute of the video, where Fujifilm announced the next generation sensor for the Fujifilm X system.

According to Fujifilm managers, it will be a stacked backside illuminated X-Trans sensor.

Now, thanks to FujiRumors leaks, we already knew it would be an X-Trans sensor, and we also knew that Sony has indeed a 43 Megapixel stacked BSI sensor available.

And to be clear, during the entire event, the Fujifilm X-H2 has not been mentioned a single time.

However, what we also know thanks to our sources, is that there will be two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras. Will both use this very same sensor? Will both be X-Trans? Or will the difference be on the ergnomic front (selfie vs 3-way tilt screen, PSAM vs retro dials)?

Questions… questions that FujiRumors will answer for you, don’t worry about that. Just follow us.

SURPRISE: Fujifilm X Summit Starting at 9AM EST with Never Rumored Surprises

Do you like surprises? If so, then stay glued on FujiRumors today.

A few hours after I’ve published this article, where I ask the FR-reader community if there is something they’d liked to be surprised with at the X summit at 9AM New York time, trusted sources contacted me and wanted me (and you) to know that at the Fujifilm X summit there will be “so far not rumored surprises“.

I did ask if it’s maybe a development announcement of the Fujifilm X-H2 (or of both Fujifilm X-H2’s I better say), or epic Kaizen firmware announcements and so forth, but no further hints have been given to me, so it will be a surprise for all of us, me included.

One more excellent reason to stay tuned on FujiRumors, where at 9AM New York time we will live stream the Fujifilm X summit and at 10AM New York time we will start the announcement live blog.
