There Will Be Rumors… but First a BIG THANK YOU to Everybody Helping me with the Rumors

From my classroom during lunch break: a big THANK YOU!
From my classroom during lunch break: a big THANK YOU!

It’s not easy.

Even after 8 years of blogging and rumors, it’s not easy to keep up being able to share accurate information.

It’s always a puzzle. Every time.

But after the recent Fujifilm X Summit, where 100% of all our exclusive rumors have been confirmed, including the Fujifilm X-T4 announcement date, I really want to stop just a second the usual rumors and news flow, to express a MASSIVE thanks to everybody, who is helping me out with the rumors.

And it doesn’t matter if trusted, new or anonymous. This thank you goes to everybody, who ever shared correct information with FR.

In January also new sources (who use the rumor box), helped me out quite a bit. I can’t contact you back, but also to you, a big thanks.

You all sailed me with accuracy through the stormy rumor waters, helping me to find the right path in the thick rumor jungle.

Feel free to keep it up, so together we can keep up injecting fun and excitement into the worldwide Fujifilm community.

And of course…

… if anyone out there would like to help me out with the rumors, feel free to contact me at fujirumor@gmail.com, via rumor box, or via social media personal message.

With all that said…

… get ready, as more rumors are coming ;).

New Fujifilm NP-W235 Battery for Fujifilm X-T4 Registered

Nokishita just spotted the registration for a new Fujifilm battery, the Fujifilm NP-W235.

What is this for?

Well, as FujiRumors already told you several weeks ago, the Fujifilm X-T4 will come with a complete new battery, so not the current NP-W126 and not even the GFX NP-T125 battery.

Now you know the name: Fujifilm NP-W235.

We will know, see and read everything about the Fujifilm X-T4 on this date.

Looks like we were spot on with yet another rumor (thanks to the source!!!).

And don’t worry… more is coming on FujiRumors, so definitely stay tuned and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, RSS-feed and Twitter.

Fujifilm X Summit Today 3 PM New York Time: What we Expect, What Not and We Hope

On February 4, at 3PM New York time, there will be the Fujifilm X Summit in London.

Of course there will be a live stream here on FujiRumors at:

  • NEW YORK – 3 PM of February 4
  • BERLIN – 9 PM of February 4

So what can we expect, what not, and what are our hopes? Let’s go through it:

→ WHAT WE EXPECT

We will definitely see the Fujifilm X100V coming. The first Fujifilm X100V leaked image is already out, and so are the full X100V specs, which for your convenience we have compared side by side with Fujfiilm X100F.

→ WHAT WE DON’T EXPECT

According to our sources, the final announcement, with full specs and pre-orders, for the Fujifilm X-T4 will be on February 26.

I don’t know, though, if there will be some sort of “Fujifilm X-T4 development announcement“, as it happened with the Fujifilm X-Pro3 back at the second Fujfiilm X Summit. So they could show us a Fujifilm X-T4 prototype, but don’t disclose any of the specs. That’s always a possibility.

Also, we don’t expect any Fujifilm GFX camera, as there will be none coming in 2020.

→ WHAT WE HOPE

Exactly one year after the first Fujifilm X summit in Dubai, where Fujifilm officially asked us which X lenses we want next in this survey, I think it would be high time to give us also a new roadmap. But I don’t know if there will be one. Or if they will wait for the Fujifilm X-T4 announcement to disclose it to the world.

Fujifilm X-T3 Successor to be Called Fujifilm X-T4 – New Source

Fujifilm X-T4

The Nr. 4 is unlucky in Asia. That’s why in Asian elevators you often don’t see a 4th floor, and why Fujifilm skipped the X-A4 and passed from X-A3 directly to X-A5. This is the case also of the Fujifilm S series, which skipped from Fujifilm S3 Pro directly to Fujfiilm S5 Pro.

→ Top X-T Community: Fujifilm X-T facebook group
→ Top X-T Page: Fujifilm X-T Page

However, I have been told that the next Fujifilm X-T camera won’t have any sort of tetraphobia, and it will be called Fujifilm X-T4.

The Fujifilm X-T4 will be announced on February 26.

Thanks to the source (with nickname), who shared this information with us.

Photons to Photos Dynamic Range Data: Fujifilm X-Pro3 Beats Fujifilm X-T3 and X-T30 – NOT :)

Photons to Photos added the Fujifilm X-Pro3 to their database, and you can now compare it to all other cameras in their database.

I did compare it to the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-T30, and the Fujifilm X-Pro3, despite having the same processor and sensor, shows a sensible advantage over the X-T3 and X-T30.

So has it better dynamic range?

Bill Claff explains:

The X-Pro3 appears to have improved PDR but it is an illusion.

It’s well known that Fuji implements the ISO setting in an unusual way.
In this case they have given ISO 320 to ISO 12800 an addition 1 stop boost.

Fuji uses a proprietary Exif tag called “Raw Exposure Bias” to indicate how much they have shifted the raw data from “standard”.

Adjusted in Excel for Raw Exposure Bias we see that the X-Pro3 and X-T3 are essentially identical. (They shift to dual conversion gain at a slightly different point).

You can access and manipulate the data here at Photons to Photos. Bill Claff’s comment has been added on dpreview.
