An anonymous source (THANKS) has send us the name of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX fixed lens camera.
It will be called Fujifilm GFX100RF.
We have also received a few specs that I am now in the process of verifying. But the first feedback I got is that they are very likely all correct, except for one.
To the anonymous source: if you want, we can chat 100% anonymously via Signal, so I can tell you what I hear regarding that other detail that does not match up. Or just drop me an email if you want (you can create a fake email account).
To my fellow FR-readers: I should be hearing back from my trusted sources very soon, it could be a matter of hours. Once the specs are 100% confirmed, I will share them here on FujiRumors.
But I’ll also take some extra time to verify any additional details that don’t fully align with the information I have heard so far. Only when the conflicting reports are solved I will be able to give you the final answer.

Combine all masking tools together (Al Mask, Control Points, Control Lines, Gradients, Brushes…).
Sub-masks let you create more precise masks for each image.
Easily access actions such as Invert Mask Effect and Duplicate Mask.
Gizmo displays have been redesigned for clarity and usability.
A one-time engine migration is required to edit local corrections created in earlier DxO PhotoLab versions.
Localized Noise Reduction and Lens Sharpness capabilities
Target specific areas for denoising and lens sharpness using masks.
With the Local Denoising and Local Lens Sharpness Optimization, it’s now easier than ever to fine-tune your most challenging images.
Images stacking in the Filmstrip
Organize your images more efficiently through stackable thumbnails.
Virtual copies are automatically grouped into collapsible stacks.
Manual controls include: create, group, ungroup, sort by date, and re-stack virtual copies.
Stack display states (collapsed/expanded) are preserved across filtering and project navigation.
Advanced Batch Renaming Tools
Rename images (inputs and outputs) consistently and efficiently using a flexible token-based system.
Leverage metadata tokens (e.g. EXIF, IPTC, shot date, counter) and custom text to build naming schemes.
Create, save, and reuse custom renaming presets.
A Find & Replace function is now available in the export dialog, with optional case sensitivity and live preview.
Support for Apple ProRAW and HEIF/HEIC Image Formats
PhotoLab 9 offers full compatibility with Apple ProRAW and HEIF/HEIC
ProRAW images from iPhones can now be opened and processed, with built-in tone mapping enabled by default.
HEIF/HEIC image formats are now fully supported.
Enhanced Noise Reduction with DeepPRIME 3 & DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans
DeepPRIME 3, introduced in PhotoLab 8.5, takes our machine-learning based approach to RAW conversion one step further: our new neural network performs denoising, demosaicing and the correction of chromatic aberrations all simultaneously and with unprecedented efficiency.
DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans follows the same approach but utilizes a significantly larger model and more training data. As a result, it retains eXtra Detail, while also delivering silky-smooth bokeh at the same time.
After 6 months of public beta, PhotoLab 9 contains the final version, which is faster and produces cleaner images than the beta. The older DeepPRIME XD was removed.
The original PRIME denoising, revolutionary when introduced back in 2013, but now obsolete, was removed.
A live preview option allows you to visualize both global and local denoising effects at any zoom level.
Lens Sharpness Optimization V2
Experience enhanced image detail thanks to the latest improvements in DxO’s lens correction engine.
The calibration process and the sharpening algorithm were reworked from the ground up to ensure homogenous results across all camera gear and shooting conditions (feature will roll out progressively).
The intensity slider now runs from 0 to 200, with 100 being our recommendation of “just the right” amount of sharpening for the given image.
Quick Access with Favorites
Add folders, projects, or drives to your favorites for quick access. This makes navigating to your most-used destinations faster and more efficient.
U Point feathering control
Diffusion slider has been added to fine tune your masks using U Points.
Projects accessible in Customize tab
In this version you can access your Projects directly from the “Customize” tab. With this improvement, managing and switching between Projects is easier than ever, streamlining your entire workflow.
Known Limitations
Bayer RAW files are not supported yet by DeepPRIME XD3 (X-Trans only).
HEIF/HEIC SUPPORT
Lightroom IPTC tag not read
GPS coordinates are displayed as 0 in Samsung HEIC image
On MacOS 15.6 and Tahoe beta 6, predefined Al masks are not returning any result in GPU/ANE modes.
Current workarounds are to switch to CPU mode or to use MacOS 15.5 or earlier.
These are the last hours before the second Fujifilm price increase.
Fujifilm has officially declared to various news outlets that on August 30 there will be further price increases. According to information we have gathered, the list of price increases should be the one you can see below.
Interestingly, some Fujifilm X and GFX gear on Amazon is still listed at the pre–August 1 pricing. While certain items have already sold out, a few are still available at the original lower price—at least for now.
On August 30, Fujifilm will implement yet another price increase in the USA, affecting a wide range of X, GFX, and Instax gear.
This marks the second price hike this month, following the one that already took effect on August 1.
Interestingly, some Fujifilm X and GFX gear on Amazon is still listed at the pre–August 1 pricing. While certain items have already sold out, a few are still available at the original lower price—at least for now.
GF120mmF4* – $2,699 ($2,949 regular price – $2,699 pre-tariffs) *note: the GF120mm is sold by third party sellers
Some gear at Amazon is sold at even lower price than the original launch price.
XF33mmF1.4 – $769 (currently $899 – $799 pre-tariff) shipped and sold by Amazon.com with free 30 days return policy
XF70-300mm – $759 (currently $899 – was $799 pre-tariff) shipped and sold by Amazon Japan
XF16mm F2.8 silver – $347 (currently $449 – $399 pre-tariff) shipped and sold by Amazon Germany
I’m not sure whether import taxes apply when ordering gear from Amazon Germany or Japan. What I do see is that Amazon lists free shipping—but to be safe, double-check at checkout to avoid any unexpected import fees. In any case, we always recommend using your local Amazon branch—for our US readers, that means Amazon USA.
With that said, below you’ll find the complete list of upcoming price increases.
Earlier today we reported how Fujifilm said to some news outlets that prices for certain Fujifilm gear will go up on August 30.
Well, I think we can now share the full list of price increases that will come into effect August 30.
Not all X cameras and lenses will get a price increase. What’s not in the list below is safe.
On the GFX front, pretty much everything will get a price bump.
The biggest price jump (+30%) will go to all sorts of Fujifilm accessories, which I guess are still all made in China.
Of course that’s for now just a rumor. All I can say is that last time we were spot on with the list of price increases. It does not mean that we will be also this time, but it might explain why I am confident enough to share it.
On August 1st Fujifilm did increase prices on plenty of X and GFX gear.
We already warned you that further prices increases are planed, but at the time of that article we knew only about instax gear price increases.
Well, Fujifilm has now issued a statement (read below) to several news outlets such as PetaPixel and DRPeview.
The global marketplace continues to present business challenges, driven by the volatile market conditions facing manufacturers, retailers, and consumers alike. With these changes and the instability of the marketplace, we have made the business decision to further adjust prices to accommodate for these global changes. As we navigate the current market situation, Fujifilm is doing all we can to work with our retailers and consumers to weather this storm together. We appreciate your continued support.
Last time the Fujifilm X-E5 and Fujifilm X half were not affected by price increases, and it seems that also this time the X-E5 and X half won’t get any price hike.
How much could the price increase be this time?
Well, given that the Fujifilm X-E5 costs $1,699 and the its DSLR styled clone, the Fujifilm X-T50, costs $1,599, it could well be that the X-T50 gets a further $100 price jump, hence a further 6% price increase. But that’s a speculation of mine.
I guess US residents now have less than two weeks left to purchase their gear at current price and avoid even worst surprises.

(more price increase to follow August 30)
Also interesting: professional imaging (mainly X and GFX) is growing much stronger than consumer imaging (mainly Instax).
In the latest report, consumer imaging sales (mainly Instax) reached ¥77.3 billion, while professional imaging sales (mainly X and GFX) brought in ¥68 billion.
It’s quite astonishing that X/GFX sales are now making Fujifilm almost as much money as Instax sales, which the Fujifilm CEO called their new goldmine. I guess that’s a promising trend for our beloved X/GFX series.
In short:
Strong demand for instant photo systems and digital cameras drove revenue by 11.2% year-over-year to JPY145.3 billion and operating income surged by 28.4% year-over-year to JPY41.8 billion.
In the Consumer Imaging business, consistent demand for instax™ instant photo systems contributed to higher revenue.
In the Professional Imaging business, revenue growth was supported by the strong performance of the X Series and GFX Series cameras.
Fujifilm’s imaging forecast remains the same as the one issued in May 2025, with no updates in the latest report.
