Fujifilm Lens Roadmap Updates

Just a few days ago, we told you that the XF8-16 and XF200 will be announced in July.

Well, according to our trusted sources that’s not all Fujifilm will give us in July.

In fact, I have it now confirmed, that Fujifilm is going to release an updated lens roadmap, too.

*** REMINDER: 100% confirmed XF10 announcement on July 19 ***

Now, do you remember when back in February 2017 I asked you which lenses you would like next from Fujifilm?

Well, here is what happened after I asked you suggestions:

• over 900 of you guys dropped a couple of thousands of suggestions in the comments – see here
• I segregated myself in my room for a couple of days, read all your suggestions for countless hours and finally summed them all up into 30 lenses – see here
• 15,000 (!!!!) of you voted in just a few days, and the results can been seen here

So we ended up with out top 6 lenses overall, as well as the top 3 primes and top 3 zooms.

It was a terrific work not only for me, but also for you guys, since you invested lots of time to discuss, recommend, argue, in order to help me to make the best list possible.

And now all we can do is hope… hope that Fujifilm listens.

So which are actually the most wanted lenses by the Fujifilm community? The answer is… here!

Huge things are happening soon… very soon… make sure follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter to stay up to date.

New Fujinon Lens Announcments

I know you guys would like…

… a rumor a day,

… but here on FujiRumors we do not make up rumors, or keep up regurgitating old ones, just to have something online.

If you decide to invest your time on FujiRumors, then it must be time well spent, hence we only share rumors when we have fresh ones.

This is why sometimes you might have to wait a few weeks before brand new rumors will be published, but it seems that your waiting is over, since I expect a wave of rumors coming.

According to our trusted sources, the Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 and Fujinon XF 200mm f/2 will be announced in July.

As we already told you months ago, the XF 200mm f/2 will come with the new 1.4x teleconverter, since current teleconverters only perform well down to f/2.8, but not f/2.

I remind you that we shared yesterday, that it is 100% sure that the Fujifilm XF10 will be announced on July 19.

A whirlwind of rumors is coming… don’t miss anything and make sure to follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter.

have a fantastic day

Fujifilm BC-W126S

What a buzz around 2 rumors and 1 registration. So let’s sum it up

• Rumor 1: the Fujifilm X-T3 will have a “better performing battery“
• Rumor 2: the Fujifilm X-T3 will have a touch screen
• Registration: Fujifilm just registered a new battery charger, the BC-W126S

The New B(attery)C(harger)-W126S combined with the rumor about a “better performing battery” are two hot hints that something is happening. But what exactly?

Let’s start by saying that Fujifilm ships all their current X-series cameras with the Fujifilm BC-W126 (no “s”), including their brand new Fujifilm X-H1 and Fujifilm X-T100. The new BC-W126S looks like an evolution of the older BC-W126 and seems to indicate that it will still take NP-W126S batteries.

The fact that the BC-W126 charger gets an upgrade now in 2018, might also indicate that Fujifilm plans to use the NP-W126S batteries for future camera models.

With that said, our sources say that the Fujifilm X-T3 will have a “better performing battery“.

So now I wonder how the “better battery performance” is achieved on the Fujifilm X-T3. Thanks to changes on the camera itself, or changes on the current NP-W126S battery (maybe making an NP-W126X), or both?

Make sure to stay tuned on FR via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter to find it out.

cheers,

Fujifilm XF10

Just last week we published a rumor about a “camera, similar in size to the X70” that has been registered by Fujifilm.

Everybody was expecting it to be the Fujifilm X70 successor, maybe the Fujifilm X80, but I am very sorry to disappoint you all.

The camera will be called Fujifilm XF10, and… trust me ;) … it is NOT the X70 successor.

Why?

Well, according to our sources, the Fujifilm XF10 will lack of core features of the Fujifilm X70 such as the X-Trans sensor and… the selfie screen!!!

Considering the Fujifilm XF10 without selfie screen an X70 successor would be like considering an X-Pro3 without hybrid viewfinder the successor of the X-Pro2.

When will it be announced?

I don’t know, but consider this: the Fujifilm X-T100 has been registered 1.5 months before its announcement. If we can apply the same timing also to the Fujifilm XF10, then it means it could be announced end of June or July at earliest.

Here are the rumored specs of the Fujifilm XF10 according to our sources:

• Fujifilm XF10
• no X-Trans but 24MP Bayer sensor
• no Selfie Screen
• is NOT the Fujifilm X70 successor
• Similar in size to X70 (as reported here)
• Bluetooth and WiFi (as reported here)

Fujifilm X80: Why This hesitation, Fuji?

Let me say it clearly: I have no information about Fujifilm planing an X70 successor (called X70s or X80). Maybe Fujifilm is working on it, maybe not.

This is why I want to write a few lines to Fujifilm, who, as we know, reads this blog and your comments.

Listen, Fujifilm,

I know that the Fujifilm X70 was a huge flop.

But while it’s true that the Fujifilm X70 didn’t get the success it deserved, I think it should at least get the successor it deserves: the Fujifilm X80.

And here is what I want for the Fujifilm X80:

• Selfie Screen
• X-Trans (if 24MP X-Trans is technically possible on X80)
• remove the flash and give us a small pop-up EVF like the Sony RX100 IV
• No pop up EVF? Then give us an external electronic viewfinder option
• new 18.5mm lens
• faster AF with less hunting
• built-in ND filter
• more video features such as 4K and slow motion
• faster buffer
• and more

So please, Fujifilm, keep up developing this line seriously and give us a worthy X70 successor called Fujifilm X80. With the improvements I mentioned above, it will sell like hot cakes.
