DISCLAIMER: don’t get mad at me. I just report what reviewers say. And I believe it makes sense to report it all
Are you ready? Let’s go!
As you know, I am a teacher, and usually it’s me, who has to judge and give votes to others.
But not today, as it’s time for our yearly 2019 rumors check, and to see if I did my homework well or not.
Also, there will be an accuracy rating of those rumors, that still could not be verified.
Keep in mind, there could be further rumors before the end of the year, in which case I will update this list!
Ready? Cool, so let’s start,
But be warned: I will be incredible severe to myself, as I will include in the wrong rumor section, rumors that were actually correct at the time of sharing, but just turned out wrong because Fujifilm changed plans.
It’s the case for example of the new lens roadmaps. In fact, just a few days after our rumor, top Fujifilm manager confirmed here, that indeed there would have been new roadmaps in 2019, but 2019 is now ending, and nothing came. So I was wrong, but so was the top Fujifilm manager.

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:

Here is the best selling gear on FujiRumors for November.
Top Accessories
Top Fujifilm Series Cameras
With the Fujifilm X-H1 now widely discontinued, and the X-Pro3 buzz slowly settling down, the Fujifilm X-T3 claims back its throne as the best selling camera.
Top Fujinon X Lenses
The launch of the exclusive X-T3 with 16-80mm bundle with the addition of a special rebate has boosted the 16-80 at the top of the ranking, closely followed by the discounted XF16-55mm f/2.8 and the also discounted XF90mm f/2.
Top Fujifilm GFX Gear
All Fujinon GF lenses (except for GF50mm f/3.5) are now heavily discounted. See the full list of discounted GF lenses here.
Top X Mount Third Party Lenses
The Neewer 35mm F1.2 becomes the most sold lens overall (even better than Fujinon lenses), thanks to a further price reduction that now makes it ridiculously cheap.
The evergreen Samyang 12mm f/2 makes it back in the list.
Top Software
Capture One Pro remains unbeatable, but Adobe Creative Cloud saw a nice revival here on FujiRumors, probably thanks to the black friday sale.
Phase One has released Capture One 20.
Fujifilm changed again their current X/GFX savings. Here is what’s new:
The rest remains the same, and you can check it all out down in this dedicated X/GFX deal page and also down below.

Despite the crazy X-H1 rebate and the big X-T3 savings, the Fujifilm X-Pro3 stood its ground, and, at least here on FujiRumors, enjoyed a good start. But sure, once the launch-frenzy settles down, the X-T3 will claim its top spot again.
Top Fujinon X Lenses
Top Fujifilm GFX Gear
All Fujinon GF lenses (except for GF50mm f/3.5) are now heavily discounted. See the full list of discounted GF lenses here.
Turns out FR-readers prefer either very fast lenses (GF110/2) or the flexibility of zooms.
Top X Mount Third Party Lenses/Adapters
The fire-sale on the Mitakon 35/0.95 pushed the lens back on top. The Viltrox 85/1.8 remains stable in the list.
Top Software
Capture One Pro 12 is on an unstoppable victory parade, being by a very (!!!) large margin your top choice when it comes to RAW editing software. Nothing comes close it, even though Luminar 4 is on a worthy second place (but still worlds away from Capture One Pro).
As I told you, I myself left Adobe forever, to go all in with Capture One Pro 12.
Fujifilm decided to add the Fujifilm X-E3 to their current X/GFX deals.
The X-E3 is now rebated at AmazonUS . At BHphoto and Adorama, the very same combo is only $100 off. Also, you save $150 on the X-E3 with 23/2 kit.
I expect AmazonUS to end the extra discount soon, so you better grab it now, if you are interested in X-E3.

Fujifilm decided to add the Fujifilm X-T2 to the current huge Fujifilm X and GFX deals.
You can now get the Fujifilm X-T2 for just $799 at BHphoto. We had the same deal a few weeks ago, but then it went up to normal price again.
It might be the last big X-T2 sell-out, as Adorama doesn’t sell X-T2’s anymore, and I once the stock is cleared, you won’t find new X-T2 anywhere anymore.
NOTE: BHphoto offers freebies along with discounted X-T2.
