Nokishita spotted the registration of a camera called Fujifilm GFX50SII here.
And if you read FujiRumors, you’ll already know a lot about it, including the price and when it will be announced. Down below is a rumor recap.
The leaked images? Boring. Just look at the Fujifilm GFX100S, and you have the GFX50SII. ;)

According to our sources, the Fujifilm GFX50SII will feature Fuji’s currently most modern processor, the X Processor 4.
We remind you that the original Fujifilm GFX50S uses the previous generation processor, the X Processor Pro.
That’s quite a big deal, as it will allow the Fujifilm GFX50SII to focus faster than its predecessor and also to have all the latest film simulations including the lovely Nostalgic Negative simulation.
To be clear, I doubt it will focus as fast as the Fujifilm GFX100S, as the Fujifilm GFX50SII will still feature a non BSI sensor. But the new X Processor 4 will surely be able to squeeze out all what’s left in terms of AF power from that 50 megapixel sensor.
I believe Fujifilm is about to drop a serious winner on the market.

So how the heck am I going to share this one?
I mean, worldwide chip shortage, Fujifilm announcing delays for lots of gear and unable to deliver products they announced many months ago and what not.
So telling you when the Fujifilm GFX50SII will ship is a rumor rocksolid at the moment, but at the same time don’t be mad at me when at the date I’ll give you know there will be like 3 Fujifilm GFX50SII shipping, and then yet another biblical waiting will begin for the rest of the cameras to ship.
With that disclaimer out of the way, here is the rumor:
We haven been informed, that the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII will start shipping in September.
We also confirm once again, the the announcement itself will not take place on August 27.
Make sure to follow FujiRumors, because:

The Fujifilm X and GFX summer deals are running. Some of them end today, some of them on July 23, and others on August 22. You can see the full details below.
In any case, if there is something you are interested in, it might be better to order today and not wait for the last second, for the reasons I’ve explained here.
With that said, I took a look at which Fujifilm X and GFX gear was selling best among the FujiRumors community, and here is what you guys picked most.
X Gear – Best Sellers
The Fujinon XF70-300mmF4-5.6 is not in offer, so it is sort of an intruder in this list, but it is selling good. I think Fujifilm hit many X shooters heart with this one. And while it might seem disappointing that the XF200 and XF8-16 are on the bottom of the ranking, the deals definitely helped to boost sales also for those lenses.
GFX gear – Best Sellers
The Nr.1 is taken by a lens that I myself am tempted to get, the compact GF50mmF3.5. I was hoping for a deal on it also here in Italy, but they went for other lenses, and I got myself the GF 32-64mmF4.
No surprise that the Fujifilm GFX50R does not sell strong, despite the $1,000 rebate, as this is a rebate we have already seen in the past and most people grabbed their sample back then.

The very popular and still strong selling Fujichrome Velvia 100 film is now discontinued, but only in USA.
The film is now back-ordered at BHphoto. You can still find a few rolls on AmazonUS here and Adorama here.
The reason is that it contains toxic substances inside the layers of the film, that Fujifilm says poses no risk for your health.
In short: don’t eat it, ok?
On March 8, 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule regarding the chemical phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1) (PIP (3:1)) (CASRN 68937-41-7) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which prohibited the processing and distribution in commerce, including sales, of the chemical and products containing the chemical. EPA also issued an enforcement policy on the same day stating that it will not enforce the ban on processing and distribution until September 5, 2021.
A miniscule amount (less than 0.0003%) of PIP (3:1) is present within the layers of FUJICHROME Velvia 100 Professional films. Fujifilm believes that the trace amount of PIP (3:1) in the FUJICHROME Velvia 100 Professional films pose no risk to the environment.
As a global leader in imaging, Fujifilm is committed to acting sustainably, and complying with all country regulations. As such, Fujifilm will discontinue FUJICHROME Velvia 100 Professional film in the U.S. effective immediately (July 6, 2021).
If you’ve purchased FUJICHROME Velvia 100 Professional films please read the accompanying Safety Data Sheet carefully.

These are crazy firmware days, great joys thanks to massive new firmware and some worries due to faulty firmware.
So let’s talk firmware today.
One of the autofocus features where Sony and Canon are running away to the competition is “animal autofocus“.
And while it is probably not a feature that most of us would massively use, it would be definitely still nice to have.
Now, the FujiRumors community often asked me if Fujifilm plans to ever such a feature in future.
Well, let me say this first.
Among all camera manufacturers, Fujifilm was actually the very first company to offer something like that, with the Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR.
As you can read in the product description here:
For those who enjoy the company of four-legged friends, the F80EXR has Pet Detection, allowing users the ability to detect up to 10 faces of dogs or cats and automatically optimize the focus. The F80EXR is programmed to recognize 57% of the Fédération Cyno Logique Internationale (FCI) Registered Dogs, 80% of the Top 20 Dogs in the American Kennel Club (AKC) Ranking and 60% of The Cat Fancier’s Association (CFA) breeds. Pet Detection works by matching various dog or cat data of facial parts with patterns to detect the dog or cat being photographed.
So, considering that Fujifilm already had a similar feature, I am confident that they will offer that in future also on X and GFX series cameras, maybe extended to birds and other animals. Sure, it’s not a rumor, but looking at Fuji’s history makes me confident this is going to happen in future.
