A Look into 2025 Fujifilm Rumors (and Beyond) and the Ultimate 2024 Rumor Check

Rumor 2025+ Overview with Rating

Time to check how accurate our rumors were in 2024 and get an outlook on the remaining rumors for 2025 (and beyond) with reliability ranking.

As usual, I will be brutal and merciless in my rumor accuracy rating.

How brutal?

Well, here are two examples.

I told you the X100VI would be basically same in size of X100V despite having IBIS. The difference is 1mm. Well, turns out it is 2mm thicker. So while it is substantially an accurate rumor, I list it as wrong.

Also, we misunderstood a source regarding the X100VI silver color. We needed only 3 hours to clarify this misunderstanding and correct it. But still, for 3 hours only, an inaccurate info was online.

WIth that said, here is how things went:

  • 99 rumors shared in 2024
  • 24 rumors still to be verified
  • 72 correct rumors out of 75 verifiable rumors
  • 3 wrong rumors (normal people would say 1 wrong rumor -not about Fujifilm-, but I am brutal to myself)
  • 96% correct rumors

The Remainng Rumors for 2025 and Beyond

HIGH RATING*
* 75% to 99% correct

Manfrotto NP-W235 Battery for Fujifilm

Manfrotto is now offering its own third party battery for Fujifilm cameras, the Manfrotto NP-W235 for Fujifilm cameras.

I do use third party batteries and I know many of you do too.

However (and that’s valid also for other companies as far as I know), if you use third party batteries in your Fujifilm cameras, and that third party battery is cause of a problem (for example it swells up and gets stuck in the camera), then, even if your camera is under warranty, you won’t get the problem fixed free of charge. On the other hand, if you use the original battery, for as long your battery is under warranty, every problem caused by the battery itself to the camera will give you access to free warranty repair.

That’s why, if you want to go the 100% safe route during the time you camera is under warranty, you might want to stick with original batteries, so if any problem happens caused by the battery, it will be fixed under warranty.

In all my years using third party batteries, I had my first third party battery fail last year, where my Patona swelled up in my X-E3 and I had to fiddle around to get it out. Luckily my X-E3 did not get any damage, but if it would, I would not have been able to fix it under warranty.

If your gear however is out of warranty anyway, that is less of a problem.

A Glimpse Into the Fujifilm Future: X-Pro4, X-E5, Digital XPan, Future XF Lenses (and More) plus 2024 Rumor Check so Far

After the Rumor Storm (and Before the Next One)

So we had 2 X summits so far in 2024 and lots of gear has been announced.

This means we also had lots of rumors about every single one of these items.

But…

A lot more rumors dropped also about gear coming well beyond that.

So, time for the great mid-2024 rumor recap and to rank for you all rumors according to their reliability.

1 millimetre and 3 hours to perfection ;)
