January was an extremely busy month, with 92 articles shared in 31 days.
FujiRumors shared 21 rumors, and some of them surprised many of us, me included, for example the fact that the Fujifilm X-T4 will ship much earlier than everybody was expecting it.
A big thanks goes to our sources (also the new ones that joined in January). You help me to keep the worldwide Fujifilm community on fire for the upcoming releases. :)
Now, with 92 articles in 31 days, you might have missed some tidbits.
Ok, there are 11 articles, not 10, but I thought the 11th is very important to know, and underline again today, as it might have passed unnoticed under the Fujifilm X-T4 and Fujifilm X100V rumor storm.
J. said the tilt screen will be like the one of the Panasonic S1H.
But I noticed a tendecy on the web, to attribute to FR also the S1H alike rumor.
So I just want to clarify, that all FujiRumors sources told us only about a “selfie flippy screen”, but not which kind of selfie screen it will be. Will it be like on the Fujifilm X-T200, or like on Fujifilm X-T100, or like on the Panasonic S1H? At this point, we do not know. We just know vloggers will be happy about it :).
I thought I need to set this right, as I don’t want any reader to be mislead here.
For us, this post is also a welcome opportunity to ask you, which selfie flippy screen do you prefer, X-T200, X-T100 or Panasonic S1H? Vote down below.
Down below are three videos, they all start at the point, where you see the screen in action.
X-T100 screen: tiltable up and down still centered to camera body. You can flip it out in selfie mode
X-T200 screen: classic fully articulating screen. If you want to tilt up or down, you must move it out all the way on the side of the camera. No longer centered. But you can flip it inwards, to protect the screen
S1H screen: You can tilt it down still centered to the camera. And fully articulates when moved out on the side of the camera. You can flip it inwards towards camera body, for protection. It has a more bulky design, but allows to move the screen more away from the camera, potentially keeping it more far away from the cables you might have attached on the side of the camera body
The Nr. 4 is unlucky in Asia. That’s why in Asian elevators you often don’t see a 4th floor, and why Fujifilm skipped the X-A4 and passed from X-A3 directly to X-A5. This is the case also of the Fujifilm S series, which skipped from Fujifilm S3 Pro directly to Fujfiilm S5 Pro.
But J. got the IBIS right and the selfie screen. And it’s objectively not easy to get long term rumors right, as Fujifilm is prone to plan changes. So what J. told us might have been correct at the time of sharing, but could be partially no longer valid now.
So, we keep up working, and will try to deliver you more rumors in the next few days and weeks. Stay tuned.
I just finished a dinner with friends, but before I go to bed, I thought I could publish a rumor that has just been confirmed to me, and answers one of the questions you had regarding the Fujifilm X100V.
Well, according to our sources, the Fujifilm X100V will have the classic old Fujifilm NP-W126S battery.
So, the brand new battery (which I remind will not even be the GFX NP-T125 battery) will be reserved for the Fujifilm X-T4 only, and of course only later find its way to future camera bodies.
But if you were hoping for the Fujifilm X-T4 announcement, then get ready to be disappointed.
The Fujifilm X-T4 announcement, with full specs and details, will not happen on February 4.
I have the date, given to me recently, and I will share it soon.
TO THE SOURCE: I just make quickly my mandatory checks. But even if not double confirmed, I trust you, and if no answer comes from trusted sources soon, I will share anyway.
The date leaked is February 4. If both, the X100V and X-T4 will be announced there, or there will be different announcements, I will work and let you know soon.
