I recently wrote an article, where I list 10 attacks on Fujifilm that do not make any sense.
In that article, I promised that I would also write an article about the exact opposite, meaning sharing a list of critiques on Fujifilm that I totally understand and I agree with.
You can find it down below.
And of course, feel free to add your own critiques on Fujifilm in the comments down below.
In our photographic journey, we start, we struggle, we learn, we advance, we re-consider, we get frustrated when things don’t work out and excited when we make a leap forward.
And yes, for us Fujifilm shooters, X-Trans is one of those things we had to learn to handle in our photographic journey.
And since we know that X-Trans is here to stay (the Fujifilm X-H2 will feature an X-Trans sensor – or at least one of the two X-H2’s coming), we better learn to make the most out of its strengths and be aware of possible limitations and how to work around those.
Now, you know what I think about the X-Trans sensor. If not, check out:
So yes, I love it! I love the fact that Fujifilm will keep the X-Trans sensor in their APS-C cameras. And judging from this survey, the vast majority of you guys is happy about this, too.
One of the X shooters happy with the X-Trans sensor is Edward Thomas, who, in the video linked below, explains how he learned to love the Fujifilm X-Trans sensor and what he likes about it. The key points of his video and the video itself can be found down below.
I will also share two additional videos, one about how to make the most out X-Trans files and another one with a Fujifilm film simulation recipe.
Last is a short video of me editing a heavily underexposed image taken with my X-E3 of my wife during our honeymoon in Andalusia (here is Cordoba), while were enjoying the sunset from the wonderful town of Ronda. It’s one of those pictures that should not be possible according to some, as it is only APS-C ;).
In episode 22/23 of the Fujifilm X Lab series, Fujifilm managers and engineers gather together to talk about the inside story and what they call the “development secrets” of the new generation fast f/1.4 prime lenses, the “XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR“, “XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR” and “XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR“.
Episode 22 is dedicate to the Fujinon XF18mm f/1.4 R LM WR whereas episode 23 focuses on the Fujinon XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR and Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR.
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.
Criticizing and attacking Fujifilm is quite popular on the internet, and down below I will talk about possible reasons why it is like this.
Sometimes these critiques are justified, but sometimes I feel these attacks are unjustified.
Let’s talk about it now.
It seems like an eternity, but it was just a bit more than two weeks ago, that Fujifilm launched plenty of new gear (that they will ship sometimes in 2023 ;) ).
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:
Weekend thoughts.
There are a lot of differences between Fujifilm and Sony, and I believe each company could learn some things something from each other.
But today I’d like to focus on one aspect, that I believe Sony and other brand are doing right, and Fujifilm should copy.
Let’s talk about it.
So, we had a few days to process all the information, to think about it, and so the time has come to ask you: what was the most exciting announcement at the Fujifilm X Summit according to you?
If you want to give it a look again, then you can check out the following coverage:
Down below you can find the survey.

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.

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
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.
