Forget About Fujifilm X-Pro4, X-E5, GFX100SII, X-T40, X80 & Co: the Only Camera Coming February 20 is the Fujifilm X100VI
What’s Coming
No, we will not hear anything about the Fujifilm X-Pro4 on February 20. Nothing.
And nothing also about the Fujifilm X-E5, or X-T40 or X-T300, or X80, or GFX100R.
The truth is this: the only camera to be announced on February 20 will be the Fujifilm X100VI.
I guess the Fujifilm X100VI is just too important for Fujifilm and it’s best that it does not get any distraction from other cameras on launch day.
Many of you guys might have seen it coming, due to the lack of rumors about other cameras.
But FujiRumors will make sure that the lack of rumors about other cameras will end soon ;).
Surprises?
But this does not mean we can’t get any surprises on February 20.
I still hope (no rumor) that Fujifilm will give us a new X mount roadmap, or makes major Kaizen firmware announcements, or they could even announce new lenses considering the fact that our sources said the X100VI is the only camera coming on February 20 (and we have leaked images of future XF lenses already months ago). But to be clear: as of now, I have not received information about other gear to come on February 20 (which does not mean it can’t come).
And Fujifilm has also teased a major XApp update, which hopefully might also be announced on February 20 (not a rumor, just a hope).
But they could also show us protoypes of gear to come.
As far as I can remember, at every X Summit something happened that I did not see coming, and I am confident that also this time we will get some surprises.
So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors on February 20. We will cover it all, and you won’t miss anything.

Fujifilm X100VI Coming with with REALA ACE Film Simulation… and About Reala Ace Being Possible only with GFX100II Sensor
- ❤️ Fujifilm Film Simulation Group (100% Fuji Colors Power)
The Fujifilm X100VI will be Fujifilm’s first APS-C camera to feature the new REALA ACE film simulation.
Some of you might think that’s an obvious rumor. But others might think it can’t be true.
And the reason why some might think it can’t be true, is because when the Fujifilm GFX100 II was launched, Fujifilm engineers said this during the X summit about the new Reala Ace film simulation:
The new GFX100II sensor is the best fit Reala Ace. Without this sensor, we are not able to realize REALA film simulation in it
But according to our sources, what Fujifilm said is not true. Or maybe Fujifilm just used a very unlucky and confusing formulation.
Because Fujifilm is able to realize Reala Ace also without the Fujifilm GFX100II sensor and the first camera (besides GFX100II) to have it will be the Fujifilm X100VI.
Maybe it would have been better phrased if Fujifilm would have said like back then during the Fujifilm GFX100S and Nostalgic Negative launch:
For nostalgic negative, Fujifilm needs large sensor. It can’t be implemented simply to APS-C. Fujifilm needs more time to develop Nostalgic Negative for the APS-C system.
Now let’s cross fingers that Reala Ace will come via firmware update also to all other 5th generation Fujifilm cameras.

Lightroom vs Capture One for X-T5 files :: Film Simulation Prompts for AI Images :: RAW Power Fujifilm GFX100 II Support [ X-Trans Roundup & Beyond]
X-Trans Roundup and Beyond
Fujifilm colors are loved by many. And it looks like they can be useful also when you try to apply a certain look to your AI created images. Andrea, from SonyAlphaRumors, used Film Simulation names for his AI images and you can see the results in the video above (and also here).

- FR-Readers that use the focus bracket feature for focus bracketing may be interested that Helicon version 8. A FR-reader has used it with GFX 50r files and Capture One. The transfer of file from C1 to Helicon still takes a while but the stacking process in Helicon appears to run a bit quicker.
RAW Power
RAW Power added support for Fujifilm GFX100 II. RAW Power is an App that brings Aperture style interface and functions to Mac Photos (it can also run as standalone). Above you can see an image I took and that I tweaked using RAW Power directly in my Photos App. You can open RAW power and edit within the Photos App by clicking “edit” in the Photos App, then click the three little dots and select RAW Power (image instruction here)

Best Selling Gear 2023: Third Party AF Lenses Threaten Fujinon Supremacy, Ultra Compact MF Lens, GFX100II Beats X-H2/S and More

It’s time to look back at what sold most among the FujiRumors community in 2023. And if you are interested, you can give a look at what sold best in the previous years.
The data is based on affiliate sales made via Amazon and BHphoto.
Of course this is not representative for the worldwide Fujifilm market. For example, on FujiRumors the Fujifilm GFX100 II outsold the X-S20, whereas on the overall market it’s more likely the opposite. That’s because FujiRumors readers, while appreciating mid-range gear, are mainly interested in higher end gear.

It’s Christmas time. Time for wishlists and dreams.
And here on FujiRumors this means wishing and dreaming of gear that, if not this year, Santa Claus will hopefully make find us under the Christmas tree for 2024.
So here is a selection of wishes that I have received from FujiRumors community and that I now I am happy to share with all of you. Feel free to let us know if there is something among it that you’d really love to get.
I sort of made my own wishlist too, where I talk about three cameras that would push Fujifilm overnight exactly where they dreamed to be by 2019. Dear Fujifilm, listen to me, and Canon, Sony and Nikon will tremble!
Feel free to read (and watch) it all down below.

Fujifilm X Summit on February 20: What’s On Top of Your Wishlist? X100V Successor, GFX100SII, New Lenses and What Else – VOTE NOW
We told you that the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on February 20, 2024.
I thought it could be nice to see what your top wish is as far as announcements goes.
So I took all the Fujifilm gear listed on our Fujifilm 2024 overview and made a survey out of it.
To be clear, I am not saying that everything in this list will come in 2024. Some of it will come for sure, some of it has only been vaguely hinted by Fujifilm managers, and some are just mere wishes and hopes of the FujiRumors community.
To see more in detail which gear will surely come, which maybe, and which one probably not, check out our full Fujifilm 2024 overview article.
With that said, now drop your vote :).
