To our customers

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) plans to release free firmware update for the “FUJIFILM X-T3” (X-T3) on October 28, 2020.

The update will improve the autofocusing performance of the X-T3 to the same level as the “FUJIFILM X-T4” (X-T4).  This firmware will boost the AF speed, the camera’s AF tracking performance and the Face / Eye AF.

Thanks to our sources and past leaks on FujiRumors, we have a pretty clear idea what could happen. But it’s possible that there will be surprises, too.

So let’s run over it and see what we expect, what not and what we hope.

  • New Fujifilm GFX camera – according to our sources, it won’t happen until early 2021… and it will be pure awesomeness :)
  • Fujifilm X-E4 – expected for early 2021
  • We don’t expect any full announcement for the following lenses: XF18mmF1.4, XF70-300mmF4.5.6, XF27mmF2.8 MKII and GF80mmF1.7

→ WHAT WE HOPE

To be clear, there are no rumors I have in this case. This is just a mere wishlist of mine.

  • Firmware announcement also for other X series cameras (besides X-T3)
  • Firmware update release announcement for Fujifilm GFX100 pixel shift
  • Fujinon G mount lens roadmap – it would be high time for a new one

Fujifilm X-S10 is not Weather Sealed

I strangly keep getting this question constantly via email, and I thought it was already kind of answered when I said that the X-S10 is a mid-range camera that will cost $999.

But I am bombarded by questions, if it is weather sealed or not.

Guys, no it’s not. It’s a sub-1K APS-C camera with IBIS. You really can’t get it all in a sub 1K camera.

I don’t know, but I got the impression that some people expected a $999 camera to have IBIS, Dual SD-Card slot, weather sealing, 8K60p and what not.

But I think we should keep our expectations realistic. $999 means that you can’t have it all.

BREAKING: Next Fujinon X Mount Roadmap to Include Fujinon XF 18mmF1.4 WR

According to our trusted sources, Fujifilm will add a new XF18mm f/1.4 weather resistant prime lens to the upcoming new X mount roadmap.

Now please read carefully!

As you know, a top Japanese Fujifilm manager said there will be 4 new Fujinon X mount lenses released within February/March 2021, and FujiRumors has shared them all for you already.

I confirm that the lenses listed above are indeed the 4 new lenses that the manager was talking about, and hence the ones that will be officially announced by February/March 2021.

And I also confirm what I just published today: a new XF18mm f/1.4 will be added to the next X mount roadmap.

Fujifilm X-S10 IBIS Unit Significantly Smaller than X-T4 IBIS Unit

Some guys out there think that the Fujifilm X-S10 will have the same IBIS of the Fujifilm X-T4.

I contacted my sources about it, and this is the answer I’ve just received:

The IBIS unit on the X-S10 is NOT the same we find on the X-T4. It is actually significantly smaller than the one we find on the X-T4. As a matter of fact, it’s Fuji’s smallest IBIS unit ever made (ok, if we don’t count this one ;) )

Remember, shrinking IBIS is one of the top priorities identified by top Fujifilm manager Toshihisa Iida (who now left the imaging division) in a recent interview. And they seem to proceed very well with this.

Fuji really went a long way from that day back in 2016 when they said IBIS is not compatible with Fujifilm X mount to 2020, when they are able to squeeze a 5axis 6 stops IBIS in a camera as small as the Fujifilm X-S10.
