As you might know, Fujifilm has currently two registered and unreleased cameras
To my knowledge, the FF190005 is the code name for the Fujifilm X100V, which, as we exclusively rumored already here, should be announced in February.
So the FF190003 is another Fujifilm camera, and previous menu screen leaks of that camera, indicated January 17 as release date.
But, as you can see above, now Nokishita spotted here a request by Fujifilm to postpone the release of marketing material related to the FF190003 to January 24.

DPReviewTV has published their 2020 resolutions for every camera company, of course including Fujifilm.
Regarding Fujifilm, they say:
When asked if Fujifilm should merge X-T and X-H line, most of you guys voted you prefer to keep both lines well separated, and I believe that would make sense, for the reasons I explained in this article.
What I believe would make sense, though, is to give us a Fujifilm X-T4 with IBIS and maybe a bigger battery. Do that, and you’ll make tons of Fujifilm shooters happy.
I am not sure about the Fujifilm X-A7 flippy screen, though, as this would make it tilt in the wrong direction, when shooting portraits. Maybe that’s more something for the Fujifilm X-H2.
Neopan 400 is a much loved film, as you can see from these customer reviews. So make it happen, Fuji!
As recently measured, Fujifilm has currenty the worse face/eye AF. But I would not worry about that too much. A major improvement is coming via firmware, soon.
You can see the full video above, where, among the others, the recommend Sony to steal Fujifilm colors ;).
Don’t forget also…
Recently Viltrox disclosed the official price in Chinese Yuan of the Viltrox 33mm f/1.4… and it’s a very aggressive one!
Now we have new images of the Viltrox 33mmm f/1.4 and Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 mounted on the Fujifilm X-T3. You can see them below.
The lenses were originally scheduled for release in 2019, but as we reported here, there will be a delay surely for the 33 and 56. The only lens that could still make it for 2019, is the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4, but there is a big “maybe” here.
The latest specs and images about all three upcoming Viltrox lenses can be found in this article.
And don’t forget to:
2019 was another exciting year for the camera industry, with lots of different cameras in all price ranges hitting the market.
So DPReview had to update its buying guide for cameras under $1,500, and guess what, not a single camera could dethrone the 2018 Fujifilm X-T3 from the top spot.
DPR writes it’s still the best camera you can buy for under $1,500:
the Fujifilm X-T3 is one of the best APS-C cameras ever made and one of the most adept cameras full-stop, if you want to shoot both stills and video.
Its image quality is excellent, with a choice of attractive ‘Film Simulation’ color modes and detailed, flexible Raw files. Autofocus with most X-series lenses is snappy with effective focus tracking, eye-detection AF for portraits and zone focus modes that will adapt to a range of sports. This is on top of a well-respected interface which blends traditional dials with a good degree of customization.
We’re particularly impressed that the X-T3 does all this while also offering some of the best video we’ve encountered. It can shoot highly detailed 4K footage (UHD or DCI) at up to 60p with the option for 10-bit capture for maximum grading leeway. Useable (though not flawless) video AF makes it comparatively easy to get good results, too. Only the lack of in-body stabilization counts against its go-everywhere, capture everything credentials.
The Fujifilm lens range isn’t as extensive as some systems, but there’s a good choice of sensibly priced lenses that go well with the X-T3.
And it’s not over yet, as the Fujifilm X-T3 will get surely one significant firmware upgrade, and maybe even another big one in future.
You can see the entire buying guide at DPR here.
Another Fujifilm year is ending.
With 4 cameras and 4 lenses released in 2019, Fujifilm has a little bit slowed down, if we compare it to the Fujifilm year 2018 (7 new cameras and 6 lenses) and to the Fuji year 2017 (4 cameras and 8 lenses).
But it was definitely quality over quantity.
And then there were these lenses:

BEST GEAR OF 2019
DPReviewTV already made their best of 2019 gear list here.
But these days many others make their own lists, too, such as Philip Bloom, Tony Northrup and more.
So I thought it might be nice to make a “best of 2019” roundup.
SPOILER: Fujifilm GFX100 grabs quite some attention, Fujifilm X-T30 wins too, and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 is wtf camera of the year.

About the compatibility of FUJIFILM Camera Remote with iOS13 devices, we are still checking it. We have confirmed the case that the Camera Remote cannot recognize a camera’s SSID * due to the change of the OS.
We apologize for your inconvenience and would appreciate it if you could understand the current situation.
For your reference, tentative solutions below can make the Wi-Fi connection more stable.
1. Change the Location setting to ON.
2. Change the Bluetooth setting to ON.**
3. Change the setting of “Auto-Join Hotspot” to Never.
4. Change the Wi-Fi Assist to OFF.
5. Turn off a smartphone and turn it on again.
* In case that the tentative solutions don’t work.

Popular youtube photographer Thomas Heaton is a Canon 5D MK IV shooter and hardcore Lightroom user.
And yet, it happens that he was attracted by the Fujifilm system, because:
I have purchased a new Fujifilm XT3 and I am changing the way I make videos and take photographs when hiking. My camera gear was always too heavy and in this video I test out a lightweight photography set up which should help me when putting in those long miles.
So he got himself a Fujifilm X-T3 and brought it with him on his trip to Nepal. How did it perform?
And now to the post processing part.
Thomas is an Adobe aficionado, and the last thing he wants, is to spend money and time on another software. However, upon recommendation, he downloaded a free Capture One trial.
And just as many of us, he experience his little wtf moment ;).
In fact, his landscape images look so much better in Capture One (he says about 30% better compared to Lightroom), and his Fujifilm APS-C files ended up looking like his Canon full frame files!

As you might know, Fujifilm has currently two registered and unreleased cameras
One of them is the Fujifilm X100V, which we shared price and release month here.
The other one is… well… as soon as I can, I will let you know ;).
In the meantime, Nokishita spotted further details about the menu interface of Fujifilm’s unreleased FF190003 camera.
The menu looks identical to the one of the Fujifilm GFX50R, with one more additional menu item, that you can see below and at the google drive file here. Nokishita writes:
Fujifilm’s unpublished digital camera “FF190003” passed FCC certification. Appearance images are not open until January 17, 2020. [Correction] The menu screen is that of “GFX 50R”, and only the last one appears to be a new model screen
Just stay tuned on FujiRumors ;)
