I thought I make a quick list of cameras and lenses that we could see in 2021, and what we surely will not get in 2021.
ATTENTION: It’s a mix of rumors, speculations and hopes. So read carefully to distinguish one from another.
2021 will be full of rumors, so make sure to follow FujiRumors on Facebook, Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram.
Every week I get many emails from fellow FR-readers, asking me if this is really all.
They look at the current X mount roadmap and the latest G mount roadmap, and they see only 3 lenses in total. That’s meager.
Then they look at our rumors, see that we rumored only two cameras, the Fujifilm GFX100S and the Fujifilm X-E4 and wonder if that’s all for 2021.
I diligently reply to all of them, but it has become quite time consuming. So let me address this question one final time here on FujiRumors, so that in future I can just copy and paste the link to this article and send it to those, who inevitably will make me the same question again.
It’s high time to update our older Fujifilm 2019/2020 camera and lens release timeline.
This is just an approximate timeline and expect to see updates to this list over the next few weeks and months.
For now, this is mainly just an update to the list we shared back in January.
All rumors are as always exclusive FujiRumors.com information. When I just make some guess, I will highlight that for you in the notes.
How Many Lenses a Year?
Fall 2019
Coming 2020
Expect 1 or 2 more X as well as GF lenses. My guess:
Probably NOT Coming 2019/2020
* our sources say it will not be released in 2019, and probably not even in 2020. But Fujifilm managers confirmed here, that the X-H line will continue
Top Possible Bonus Gear in 2020
* based on this old rumor rumor
** wishful thinking based on XF10 disappointment
*** no rumors. but please, FUJI, PLEASE!!!
**** no rumor, just a mere wild guess

Rumors and Discussions
Stay in the Loop
It’s time to put some order in the myriad of rumors, and give you guys a timeline of the Fujifilm products that will come in 2019, as well as give a quick glance at 2020.
This is just an approximate timeline, that I will update as soon as I get new information.
January/April 2019
* based on our rumors
May/August 2019
* based on our rumors
** our sources say XF 16-80 will not come in early 2019
*** just an educated guess by FujiRumors, but it could make sense to announce it along with Fujifilm GFX100
September/December 2019
* based on reports at techardar. I place them in the second half of 2019, because I do not think their release is imminent (if techradar is right about 2019 release)
Top Possible Bonus Gear in 2019/2020
*based on rumor
** wishful thinking based on XF10 disappointment :)
*** no rumors. but please, FUJI, PLEASE!!!
Coming 2020
* our sources say it will not be released in 2019, hence must be sometimes in 2020, since I don’t think Fuji will wait until 2021
** based on official Fujifilm roadmap
Probably Not Coming in 2019/2020

Confused by all the rumors? Then let’s put some order into the big buzz :)
So first I’ll give you an accurate timeline and then, down below, the detailed rumors with reliabily rating and working link to every single rumor.
Also consider…. we are working on Fujifilm X-Pro3, X200 and all other rumors, but we will share only once we have something more reliable in our hands. Hence, don’t panic if you don’t see your dream camera listed below. It does not necessarily mean it won’t come, but only that for now we have no solid rumor about it share.
Don’t forget, FujiRumors is EVERYWHERE :) Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter
Time to make a summary of all the future X-series cameras that we rumored here on FujiRumors.
At the bottom you will find a poll, where you can tell us, which of the 10 rumored Fujifilm products you are looking forward the most.
Ok guys… after the major announcement a few days ago, it’s time to see what is left, and what was correct (or not).
but first….
Huge Thanks!
Fujirumors is not only a great source for Fujifilm to get feedback about their products and early feedback thanks to rumors, but also a place that keeps the whole community excited and informed. And none of this would be possible without everybody, who helped me with the rumors and the news. Huge thanks to all of you for guiding me safly through the stormy Fuji waters.
The Facts
What To Expect From Fujifilm…
… and 2 Notes
The Ultimate Fuji X: I know that this camera was in Fuji’s plans, and I know they scrapped it in favor or the Fujifilm X-T2S (which is basically an “ultimate X light”). However, I decided to already move the ultimate X rumors in the wrong rumor section, because I need a public statement of Fujifilm that such plans existed to share it as a correct rumor (as it happened with the X-Pro1s)… and also because otherwise the wrong rumor section would have been empty :)
Fujinon 33mmF1: In January, I reported that the 33/1 has been scrapped. As a consequence, I launched a huge lens request poll, where the 33/1 became the most voted prime lens by the FR-community. The results might have convinced Fujifilm to think about it again, as a rumor recently suggested. Hence you will find 2 rumors down below… the one that says the 33/1 has been canceled, and the one that says there is a little bit hope again.
Hey X-folks…
I really hope you had (and are still having) a fantastic summer.
I hope you could travel, see new cities, taste new food, climb some mountains, play with the waves in the sea, photograph something that inspired you… and especially I hope you had time for your families, friends… and for yourself.
But also during this summer, FujiRumors worked restlessly on the rumors and news… and it was so busy, that you might have missed a few rumors and news during your summer break.
So I thought it could be useful to give you guys an overview of what happened over the summer in the Fuji World… also in the hope this can somehow mitigate your pain for going back at work… at least a bit… because AWESOME FUJI TIMES are coming :)
have a GREAT Sunday,

BIG DAY: Fujikina Announcements on September 7
Some of the Rumors shared in July / August
Some General News shared in July / August
FLASH News & Rumors
Thanksgiving is here, and while most families argue over who burned the stuffing, we in the Fujifilm community know the real drama happens when our cameras show up to dinner. If each Fujifilm camera were a guest, here’s what they’d bring to the table — literally.
X-T5
Arrives with a fully homemade meal, proudly reminding everyone that every single step was done manually — even the gravy. Keeps adjusting the dinner table “for composition”.
GFX100S II
Brings a turkey so gigantic the table collapses. Says it’s “just a casual medium-format bird”. Everyone pretends they’re not intimidated.
X-Pro3
Brings a gourmet dish but serves it face-down, so nobody can actually see it. “Stop chimping through the dishes. Focus on the Thanksgiving experience first, not the results” it insists, refusing to flip the plate over. Spends the whole evening fully present and savoring every moment.
X-S20
Shows up quietly with store-bought mashed potatoes, super humble, not bragging about anything. Yet all the other cameras side-eye it because it secretly carries features no one else has — like that fully automatic subject-detection mode that does all the work while pretending it’s “nothing special.”
X-E5
Arrives with a small, perfectly curated dish — nothing fancy, but stylish enough that everyone compliments it. Quietly slips into a seat, looking effortlessly cool without even trying.
X-M5
Shows up with a perfectly plated appetizer, but keeps looking around the table like it’s lost. No EVF to guide it, so it improvises — and somehow, every shot still turns out amazing anyway.
X70
Shows up quietly without being invited… mostly because everyone forgot it even existed. Brings a tiny but absolutely delicious dish that makes everyone wonder, “Wait, why did Fujifilm never make another one of you?” Then it slips away before anyone can ask for the recipe.
X-H2S
Arrives with a towering trifle that’s already collapsing, fruit spilling everywhere, and layers sliding off the plate. Immediately realizes it’s still running last year’s flawed firmware, apologizes to the group, and rushes off to the kitchen to install the update — promising to return once everything is perfectly stabilized — it’s still there, struggling to connect to the smartphone app to finally install the update.
X100VI
Was supposed to bring artisanal cranberry sauce, but got kidnapped by scalpers as soon as it left home. Never made it to the dinner, leaving everyone scrolling online, refreshing for a glimpse of it. It was later spotted on eBay, held hostage with a wildly overpriced ransom for release.
X-T6
And then, totally surprising to anyone, a guest from the future shows up of nowhere: the Fujifilm X-T6! It brings a futuristic dish nobody’s ever seen before, full of features and flavors that blow everyone’s mind. The other fellow cameras on the table are curious, asks questions. The Fujifilm X-T6 just whispers something about having a new heart and brain, about firmware improvements, about features no other camera has ever heard of before. It ends up saying “everything will change” and then vanishes before anyone can ask more questions. Only left a note behind: read FujiRumors.com, and you’ll know soon enough ;).
The End
That’s my way to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving.
And feel free to let more cameras join the dinner in the comments down below. Other brands are welcome too :).
