Fujifilm X-E4: Minimalist Tool and X100V or X-E4 for Street Photography?

The Fujifilm X-E line was always on the brink of extinction.

Several times Fujifilm considered to kill the line, as it is not really profitable. But it was saved by the rather loud voices within the Fujifilm community to keep that line alive, and also a small but stubborn minority inside the Fujifilm management, who believes the X-E has its raison d’être.

The first to risk never to see the light of the day was the Fujifilm X-E3. But as Fujifilm managers told us in this interview, they took note of the strong requests for an X-E3 and finally they decided to deliver.

Later on, and you can be sure of that, Fujifilm decided to drop the X-E line again. And yet, once again, the pressure build up inside Fujifilm and also outside by its customers, to keep the X-E line alive.

And once again, we won :). The X-E4 is here and down below we can share a mini-roundup about the X-E4.

A little side note: for what it’s worth, it is the by very far best selling X-E camera among the FujiRumors community, and it has now officially beaten the X-S10 in terms of pre-orders (always just here on FujiRumors).

However, it should be noted that out there in the real world, the X-S10 outsells by far the X-E4. But it’s already great to see that the response for the X-E4 was very positive at least among the FR community.

With that said, here is a bit more content X-E4 content for you.

No New Firmware Fujifilm X-Pro3, X100V and X-T30 Coming Tomorrow

Over on DPReview a member shared a note he received by BHphoto about a new firmware for X-Pro3. And in the comments, a DPR member claimed it will come tomorrow, February 11.

That’s not true. No firmware will come tomorrow.

Other people got confused, and thought that the firwmare has been released already, as fellow FR-reader Thomas, who informed me via Twitter here.

Nope, nothing has been released, and nothing will be released tomorrow.

You have to be a bit patient… FujiRumors will inform you 0.01 seconds after the firmware will be online ;)

In the meantime, check out the official Fujifilm press release about the firmware.

Super Fast Irix f/1.4 Lens for Fujifilm GFX Coming This January

Irix is teasing a new lens coming for the Fujifilm GFX system in January (as if January wasn’t already hot enough ;) ).

Now, you might remember how back in July 2020 I told you about a very fast lens coming for the Fujifilm GFX system. At that time I was able to give you the following details.

  • 1.4 lens for GFX system
  • likely manual focus
  • it will be a wide-standard lens (wider than the Mitakon)

It looks like this could be the IRIX lens coming soon :). We have two images of the lens shared here. Feel free to check them out.

You Top Fujinon X/GFX Lens Wish for 2021 is…?

Recently we checked out how many Fujinon X/GFX lenses Fujifilm usually released in the last few years, and we saw, that in 2021 we could still get up to 3 lenses that have not yet been announced by Fujifilm or put in any roadmap (if Fujifilm keeps the same pace of the last few years).

So, there is room for surprises.

Now it’s your time to tell us your top wish… but beware, wish for lenses that you would also be ready to pay for ;).

Who knows, maybe Fujifilm will find some inspiration from your wishes… it wouldn’t be the first time ;).
