Fujifilm Price Increase Confirmed – Unshipped Orders at Old Prices Could Be Canceled August 1st

We previously reported that Fujifilm will raise prices on August 1. Now we have the first confirmation: the U.S. store Capture Integration writes:

Fujifilm will increase all products on August 1st. Importantly, all pre-existing orders will be canceled at the older prices. NO CURRENT orders will be honored at pre-tariff pricing. Price increases range from 7-11%. Most notably…”

FujiFilm GFX100 II up 11%
FujiFilm GFX1000 RF up 10%
FujiFilm GFX100S II up 8%
GF Lenses all up 7-9%

Not mentioned is X series gear, which will go up too.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We don’t yet know if this policy applies only to Capture Integration, or if other retailers like B&H Photo will also refuse to honor current prices for gear ordered now but shipping after August 1.

RECOMMENDATION: See it in stock? Buy it now. If not, order anyway and hope the store honors current pricing. Worst case? They cancel your order.

DON’T LOSE HOPE: If you can’t find gear in stock at B&H or similar stores, check Amazon—many official Fujifilm retailers also sell through Amazon, so you might find items there that are out of stock elsewhere. To see which stores are authorized Fujifilm dealers, check the official Fujifilm USA list here.

LIST OF PRICE INCREASES

X Cameras – New Price Starting August 1

GFX cameras – New Price Starting August 1

X Lenses – New Price Starting August 1

GF Lenses – New Price Starting August 1

We have the new price for 9 GF lenses. The other 11 lenses will get also a price increase according to Capture Integration.

Accessories – New Price Starting August 1

REPORT: Fujifilm Price Increase Coming Soon (also on X-E5): Order Now to Lock the Price! – UPDATED

UPDATE: here is the list of price increases – X-E5 might be safe

FR-reader Alejandro has received the message you can see above from the Moment customer service:

Fujifilm just let us know they’ll be increasing the prices of some of their products soon, so l’m reaching out to assure you your order will be unaffected by the increase. Since you placed this order with us before the increase was announced, we’re be honoring your purchase price and eating the cost of the increase

I guess this was to expect. In fact, we’ve already seen hints of this: the X half launched at $850 instead of the planned $700, and the Fujifilm X-E5 is priced like the X-T5 in the U.S., unlike elsewhere where it is priced like the X-T50.

Older gear stayed stable thanks to pre-tariff stock, but that’s running out. Now, with higher import costs kicking in, Fujifilm appears to be officially adjusting prices.

But here is the thing:

When I asked Alejandro for which gear he got this notice, he told me:

this is for the silver X-E5 with kit lens

Now, we told you a few weeks ago that price adjustments on Fujifilm X-E5 can’t be ruled, since it’s now subject to a higher tariff rate than when it first launched.

Maybe that’s also why Amazon US de-listed the X-E5 from their website. They could be waiting for the price increase to become official and then list it again with the new price.

Anyway, if Alejandro’s report to FujiRumors is accurate, then we could be just days away from a price increase.

Also at risk of price increase might be all that gear announced before the tariffs and that is now running low on stock at the US warehouses, so we are talking of Fujifilm GFX100RF, Fujifilm X-T50, X-M5, X-T5, X-H2, X-H2S and more.

And I guess also plenty of GF and XF lenses will get a price increase.

To be clear: there is no official Fujifilm statement as of yet. It’s just an information that has been passed from a store to a FR-reader, who then passed it to me.

However, at this point my advice is: if you’re planning to buy and Fujifilm gear, (pre)order it now to give yourself the best chance of avoiding the potential imminent price hike.

If I get any updates I will let you know.

Fujikina 2025 is Coming to London and Cologne

We already had a couple of Fujikina events this year: from Prague to Milan, from Brussels to Cebu and Arles.

But there are more coming.

For full event details, locations, schedules, and ticket pricing, visit the official Fujifilm event page we’ve previously linked.

As we reported already, most Fujikina events are “standalone” events, meaning they are not linked to a Fujifilm X summit product launch event.

However, as we reported here, there is (at least) this camera and this lens scheduled for September announcement, so there are high chances that in Cologne and London you might be able to get your hands on them.

And yet, the main course of the meal at Fujikina is not necessarily the newest gear. There is in fact much more to enjoy, from expert talks, photowalks, live shootings, live talks, meetings with experts, masterclasses, the Magnum exhibition and more.

And it is of course open also to non-Fujifilm shooters.

So whether you’re curious, committed, or just love being surrounded by inspiring photography energy, Fujikina is where you want to be this September.

Fujifilm X-T30 III or X-T40 Coming in 2025 – Let the Specs Speculation Begin

We told you that in 2025 Fujifilm will launch the successor to the Fujifilm X-T30II (which is not the Fujifilm X-T50).

Now all we can do is to speculate about the specs.

If I should bet (this is a speculation, not a rumor), then I’d say that Fujifilm could put the trusted 26MP sensor in the Fujifilm X-T30II successor, maybe in combination with the X Processor 5, just like it is for the Fujifilm X-S20.

Maybe to make it even more affordable, they could give it to us without IBIS using the same body of the X-T30II. But again, that’s just my guess. It could be also the X-T50 body with 26MP sensor. It depends on which price Fujifilm is targeting with the X-T30 II successor.

I’d prefer the X-T50 body over the X-T30II body, not only because of IBIS, but also because I prefer the film simulation dial over the drive dial. And overall I find it more refined and better looking. But let us know in the comments what you prefer.

The name?

Well, I guess it will be called Fujifilm X-T30 III or Fujifilm X-T40.

So, I’ll end my speculations here. But I’d love to read yours in the comments below.

BREAKING: This Totally Unexpected Fujifilm Camera is Coming in 2025 – And I Know You Won’t Believe Me

→ in short: it’s the successor of this camera here
… and I know you won’t believe me because this camera exists already… but it will come anyway ;)

Today we can unveil to you about an unexpected camera that Fujifilm will launch in 2025.

And we will can tell you that thanks to a source who uses a nickname of a character from a movie franchise (and book I read and loved – THANKS) and also thanks to another source, who dropped us the same hint a long while ago (THANKS to you too).

ATTENTION: I know I will get a lot of fake-rumor-clickbait accusations for this rumor. But all I can say for now is that this rumor is 100% accurate. If wrong, FujiRumors will shut down operations and hide forever. ;)

With all that said, are you ready for the truth?

Well, in addition to the Fujifilm GFX100RF, Fujifilm GFX Eterna, Fujifilm X-E5 and Fujifilm X-Half, in 2025 Fujifilm will also launch…

Deal Wars: Amazon, B&H, and Adorama Battle It Out with 4-Day Mega Sales

 

Competition is a beautiful thing — and today we see another great example of it.

Amazon has just kicked off its massive 4-day Prime event, but B&H Photo [here] and Adorama [here] aren’t letting Amazon steal the spotlight. They’ve launched their own huge 4-day sales to go head-to-head with the retail giant.

Some of the deals are exclusive to B&H and Adorama, while others match Amazon’s Prime pricing — like the Viltrox X mount lens deals currently available at B&H and also at Amazon here.

Here are the dedicated pages:

Of course, Amazon goes far beyond electronics.

Anyway, it might be worth taking a closer look — some of these deals are really solid. I’ve highlighted a few of the most interesting ones for you below.

Fujinon XF 16-200 vs XF 18-135 Size Comparison and Thoughts

We recently took a look at the 8 remaining lenses Fujifilm has “under consideration” for future release.

And since I love this lens here, I picked as my favorite future lens the Fujinon XF16-200mm superzoom.

Now, I know it would make me look more “Pro” if I’d advocate for red-badge fast lenses.

But hey, if Melinda Sue Gordon shoots the official backstage images of the Dunkirk blockbuster with the XF18-135mm lens – we reported here – then I guess the lens is plenty of good enough also for my much more humble needs.

With that said, I decided to take a closer look at the potential XF16-200mm, based on specs given to us by Fujifilm (and turned into the above silhouette by FR-reader Hiergeist), to see if the XF16-200mm could really be a potential replacement for the XF18-135mm.

  • Fujinon XF 16-200mm
    – length 120-140mm
    – diameter 70-80
    – weight 600-800g
  • Fujinon XF 18-135mm
    – length 97.8mm at minium extension and 156mm at maximum extension
    – diameter 75.7
    – weight 490g

We can see: especially on the shorter side of the range given to us by Fujifilm, the XF16-200 would be quite close in size to the current XF18-135mm (just about 22mm longer and 110g heavier).

If Fujifilm would launch the Fujinon XF16-200mm, then I would surely buy it to replace the XF18-135mm.

In fact, after I bought the XF18-135mm I sold both my XF18-55mm and XF55-200mm. But having again the option to go all the way at 200mm and also to go wider at 16mm would be very welcome, especially if the overall size and weight increase are contained as suggested by the specs shared by Fujifilm.

So, I stand by my wish: if I have to pick one, I would like the Fujinon XF 16-200mm.

But again, feel free to drop your wish and vote here.
