Fujifilm X Summit September 12 with GFX100 Successor and 3 GF Lenses Coming (And More?)

Fujifilm has officially announced the Fujifilm X Summit for September 12 (which for FujiRumors readers is boring old news ;)).

Well, according to our sources, we will get for sure at least the following gear on that day:

So there will be lots of love for the Fujifilm GFX system, which addresses one of my main complaints after the last X summit in May.

But the above gear is only what we will get for sure.

Fujifilm could easily launch more cameras and lenses, as well as treat us with surprises (as they always do on X summits).

So, no matter what the state of the leaks will be, make sure to stay tuned on FujIRumors on September 12, because we are going to have lots of fun.

Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 Firmware Still Suspended

Suspended Firmware

Back on April 27, Fujifilm released firmware updates for lots X and GFX lenses (plus some cameras).

Among them there was firmware 1.10 for the Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 with some welcome improvements.

However, at some point Fujifilm removed the firmware and said:

It has been confirmed that there are some rare cases where the upgrade process fails with Ver. 1.10 released on April 27, 2023. For this reason, we have just removed the download button for this version here. We will resume the download button as soon as a fix is ready.

Customers who have successfully upgraded this firmware can continue to use the product.

Since then, nothing happened and the firmware is still suspended.

As an owner of the Fujinon GF50mmF3.5 myself, I just share this friendly reminder to Fujifilm that there is this suspended firmware and that we would really appreciate if they’d fix it… just in case Fuji forgot about it.

RUMOR: Fujifilm GFX100 Replacement Coming September 12

NOTE: in the video above you will see me and my GFX100S in action in one of the most colorful pieces of nature + see some images I took with it

I’ve told you that the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on September 12.

The question is: what will come on that day?

Well, I can now tell you that, for sure, we will get the long rumored Fujifilm GFX100 replacement.

Again: we are talking about the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement (so the successor to this camera here), and not the replacement to the GFX100S, GFX50R or any other GFX camera.

I don’t have indication about anything else to come at this point, but I will make sure to update you as soon as I have solid information.

What I am 100% sure of, though, is that in the next few weeks and months, there will be LOTS of rumors on FujiRumors. I mean, really LOTS of rumors ;).

So, if you want to have a fun time, then stay tuned on this blog and also on the FujiRumors YouTube channel.

Did I already tell you there will be LOTS OF RUMORS? ;)

The Future of GFX: Which Sensor Do You Want for GFX100 Replacement – VOTE NOW

Fujifilm GFX100 Replacement

Until now it always worked like this in the Fujifilm world: Fuji’s APS-C series cameras get the latest and greatest technology and then the same sensors and processors are used on Fuji’s GFX cameras.

With two differences, of course.

  • the GFX sensor is about 4 times larger than the APS-C sensor
  • the GFX sensor has a Bayer filter array instead of X-Trans

But other than that, the silicon wafer used to make these sensors is exactly the same.

This means that for example the 26MP BSI X-Trans IV sensor is the very same we find on the GFX100/S, just Sony cuts a 4 times larger part out of it for the GFX sensor, hence 102 MP.

That’s great for Fujifilm, as it saves them R&D if they can use the same platforms over several systems and, for example, simplify the transfer of their APS-C firmware into their GFX system by using the same processor and sensor technology.

And what this mean for the rumored Fujifilm GFX100 replacement?

Well, if Fujifilm will continue doing what they always do then I see 3 options.

And I say 3 options, because the Fujifilm X-S20 shows us that Fujifilm is still considering that 26MP BSI sensor part of their lineup and hence to be potentially used in future cameras.

The Best Sensor is…

The three most obvious options at this point are:

  • 102 MP non-stacked BSI sensor (same of X-S20)
  • 102 MP stacked BSI sensor (same of X-H2S)
  • 158 MP non-stacked BSI sensor (same of X-T5)

But of course, there are also other sensors that Sony has available. We reported here about:

  • 162 MP stacked BSI sensor (in GFX format)
  • 123 MP global shutter sensor (in GFX format)

Sure, a 162MP stacked medium format sensor would be extremely expensive. And as far as global shutter goes, it’s not usually Fujifilm who uses breakthrough technology for first. Those sensors come from Sony and my guess is that before we don’t get it on a Sony camera, we also won’t see it on a Fuji camera.

That’s why for now I will not include the latter two options in the survey. But if sources tell me crazy things are going to happen with the GFX100 replacement, then you can bet I will let you know first here on FujiRumors.

The Survey

And now to the survey… and the question could not be easier than this one: which sensor do you want on the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement?

Which sensor would you like on the Fujifilm GFX100 Replacement?

Fujifilm GFX100S Bug Fix Firmware 2.01 Released, but Some Now Prefer This Workaround

Fujifilm has finally released the Fujifilm GFX100S firmware fix they promised us a couple of days ago.

The curious thing about this bug: people were forced to use a workaround for a while, and I know that some fellow GFX100S shooters, who applied the workaround, now actually stick with it as they find it more convenient that keeping the button pressed to change exposure compensation.

So, not all the bad comes to hurt, at least not for those, who now stick with the workaround solution.

Down below you find all the firmware details and download links.

Fujifilm GFX100S Firmware “Still Being Evaluated” and GFX50SII Firmware 2.01 Released

Fujifilm has released the new firmware for the Fujifilm GFX50SII, which fixes the bug with the exposure compensation button.

The Fujifilm GFX100S suffers the same issue after the latest firmware, but so far it has not yet received the bug fix firmware. Fujifilm writes:

Revised firmware for FUJIFILM GFX100S is still being evaluated, although it was planned to be released on May 31.
We will release the revised version A.S.A.P. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

In the meantime, here is the workaround (which some might even prefer).

Fujifilm Finds Temporary Work Around for GFX100S/GFX50SII Exposure Compensation Bug (via FujiRumors ;) )

Yesterday Fujifilm released a statement, where they acknowledge the exposure compensation bug introduced on Fujifilm GFX100S and GFX50SII with the latest firmware and they said a fix will be out on May 31.

Of course FujiRumors reported about it yesterday, but we also suggested a temporary workaround based on a recommendation that came from one of our fellow Fujifilm GFX users members here.

Well, it looks like Fujifilm read our article and has now updated their statement suggesting the very same workaround.

The exposure compensation can be used by changing the [EXPO. COMP. BUTTON SETTING] to [ON/OFF SWITCH], which will be the temporary workaround until the revised firmware is released.
*The menu flow to make the above setting is as follows.
[SETUP MENU] ➔ [BUTTON/DIAL SETTING] ➔ [EXPO. COMP. BUTTON SETTING] ➔ [ON/OFF SWITCH].

Always happy to help, Fujifilm :)

And thanks again to our amazing Fujifilm GFX group and Carlos in this case! You made it into an official Fujifilm press note.
