According to a trusted source, the Fujifilm X100F will feature the 23mmF2 lens we find also on the X100/S/T. It will be interesting to see how this lens performs on the new 24MP X-TransIII sensor.

Fujifilm X100F – NP-W126s

According to a trusted source, the Fujifilm X100F will take the NP-W126 and the new NP-W126s batteries of Fujifilm’s MILC line-up. The current X100/S/T are using the Fujifilm Fujifilm NP-95 batteries.

I remind you that Fujifilm designed the NP-W126s to optimize the heat-managment.

My name is Andreas and I am a 3d artist from Sweden. I work in the video game industry and like to design and visualize things in my spare time. I love photography and cameras so this made me think of what the perfect compact travel/street camera would be like.

The one camera and one lens concept is a popular one these days. For me it started with the X100 and later the X100T. I really like the form factor and rangefinder styled body but always found some things annoying to work with so I decided to make my own X100F camera.

Here are the main changes I made to the design of the X100F:

Lens
The X100 cameras are not tiny and pockatable and for me I always kept them in my bag anyways. Therefore I think the lens can easily be a bit larger without sacrificing portability. This makes it possible to make a faster and better lens compared to the one in the x100t. It also makes it a better camera ergonomically. I moved the aperture ring up front and added a focus tab on the focusing ring. The focusing has hard stops to make manual focusing a breeze. These changes are inspired by the Leica Q.

Viewfinder
This will probably be the most controversial change I have made to the camera. I removed the OVF. Dear lord, how dare you?! Well I like the less is more approach and I never used the ovf anyway. I find it misses focus too often and it’s basically useless for manual focusing. There I removed it to make the front of the camera cleaner and reduce the parts and cost of the camera overall. I imagine the viewfinder being larger, more high res and faster updating then before.

Grip
I added a built in thumb grip so that we can free up the hot shoe from third party thumb grips. I also added a grip up front inspired by the xt1. This will help ergonomics alot without adding bulk to the camera.

ISO dial
Making the thumb grip built in adds some space up top for another dial. This iso dial is a pop up one so that it doesn’t get in the way of the shutter release while shooting. I took this idea from the Hasselblad X1D.

Compensation dial
I moved the compensation dial to fit it closer to the thumb. It is cleverly positioned underneath the shutter speed dial to save space.

Drive mode
I incorporated the drive mode in the on off switch like on Leica cameras. Saves spaces and is intuitive to use. I placed the “S” mode at the end of the dial for easier turn on since that is the mode that I use most often.

AF joystick
This needs to find its way to all cameras. It makes shooting so much faster.

Tilting screen
I have included a tilting touch screen to the camera and made it flush with the body.

Button layout
All buttons now reside to the right of the screen to make it easier to handle.

That’s it! Remember that this is only how I envision the perfect x100 camera and it will certainly not resonate well with all people. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

The End is Near: Fujifilm X100T Marked as “Discontinued” at DigitalRev :: Fujifilm X100F is on the Way!

fujifilm-x100t-discontinued

As you know, trusted sources told us that the successor of the Fujifilm X100T, the X100F, will be launched in 2017 (orgininally planed for Photokina, but the sensor shortage due to the Kumamoto earthquake forced Fujifilm to change plans).

For those, who are still sceptical, here is another hint: DigitalRev marked the Fujifilm X100T as discontinued. The FR-reader, who passed me the link (thanks) said that a few days ago it wasn’t marked as discontinued.

BREAKING :: The Fujifilm X100T Successor Will Be Called Fujifilm X100F

Fujifilm X100F

Fujifilm X100F

I know many of you guys are eagerly awaiting rumors about the X100T successor… so here is what I have for you today. I’ve been informed by a New Source (thanks) that the successor of the Fujifilm X100T will be called Fujifilm X100F.

As I told you in this rumor, the expected release for the X100F is 2017. The successor of the X100T was originally planed for Photokina 2016, but after the Kumamoto earthquake in Japan (which affected heavily the Sensor factory), Fujifilm had to deal with a shortage of X-TransIII sensor. So they decided to first focus on the Fujifilm X-T2 and use all the sensors available for the X-T2. Once everything goes back to normal and there will be enough X-TransIII sensors again, then Fujifilm can also release the X100F (in 2017)

From Newcomer to Legend? Fujifilm X-E5 Skyrockets in FujiRumors Ownership Rankings

A while ago we tried to evaluate the success of the brand new Fujifilm X-E5 by launching a survey on which camera the FujiRumors community owns.

8,279 people dropped a total of 17,894 votes, and here are the results.

  1. X-T5 = 13%
  2. X100VI = 7%
  3. X-T3 = 7%
  4. X-T2 = 5%
  5. X-E5 = 5%
  6. X-T4 = 4%
  7. X-H2 = 4%
  8. X-Pro2 = 4%
  9. X-H2S = 4%
  10. X-T1 = 3%
  11. X-T30/X-T30II = 3%
  12. X-E3 = 3%
  13. X-Pro3 = 3%
  14. X100V = 3%
  15. X-E2/X-E2S = 3%
  16. X-H1 = 3%
  17. X-E1 = 2%
  18. X-T50 = 2%
  19. X-S20 = 2%
  20. X-E4 = 2%
  21. X-T20 = 2%
  22. X-S10 = 2%
  23. X-Pro1 = 2%
  24. X100F = 2%
  25. X-M5 = 1%
  26. X100 = 1%
  27. X70/XF10 = 1%
  28. X10/X20/X30 = 1%
  29. X100S = 1%
  30. X-T10 = 1%
  31. X100T = 1%
  32. X-M1 = 1%
  33. X half = 1%
  34. X-A1/A2/A3/A5/A7/A10/A20 = 1%
  35. X-T100 = 0%*
  36. XQ1/XQ2 = 0%*
  37. X-T200 = 0%*
  38. XF1 = 0%*
  39. X-S1 = 0%*
    *denotes 0,4% or less

So, in less than 1 month, the Fujifilm X-E5 has already surpassed legends like the Fujifilm X-T4 and caught up with one of Fujifilm’s most sold cameras ever, the Fujifilm X-T2. And right now it is just 2% points away from catching up with the Fujifilm X-T3 and X100VI.

If we were to group it in lines, these are the results.

  1. X-T* = 32.21%
  2. X100* = 15.20%
  3. X-E* = 14.61%
  4. X-H* = 9.98%
  5. X-Pro* = 8.56%
  6. X-T** = 8.41%
  7. X-S** = 4.18%
  8. X-M* = 2.25%
  9. X70 / XF10 = 1.24%
  10. X10/X20/X30 = 1.18%
  11. X half = 0.64%
  12. X-A* = 0.56%
  13. Other = 0.51%
  14. X-T100/200 = 0.47%

The Fujifilm X-E5 has pushed the X line close to the X100 line on the 3rd spot of the most owned Fujifilm camera lines by FR-readers.

Is this a success?

That’s too early to say. But it is a solid start, actually the best start of any X-E camera so far (and by far). And this makes me confident in the future of this camera line.

Fujifilm X-T40/X-T30III: Finally Closing the Gap?

go to minute 5:53 of the video to hear the thoughts of Patrick about it

One of the critiques Fujifilm gets is that they have a confusing camera lineup with too many lines.

The Fujifilm X-T30III or X-T40 just fueled again this criticism, but I think this time they don’t deserve it.

First things first: Fujifilm has indeed likely canceled 6 X series lines already (or even 7, if we consider X70 and XF10 not part of the same line):

So we have a total of possibly six canceled lines.

And how many lines has Fujifilm introduced?

Well, 2 new lines have been introduced recently: Fujifilm X half and the Fujifilm X-T50,

Yes, also the Fujifilm X-T50 is a “new line”, because as we told you in this rumor, it does not belong to the X-T10, X-T20, X-T30 line since Fujifilm will launch a dedicated successor for that line (X-T40/X-T30III) in 2025.

And actually there will also be a third totally new line soon, and that camera is already listed at BHphoto here.

In short: Fujifilm has axed more lines than it has created new ones.

With all that said, I think launching the Fujifilm X-T40/X-T30III makes totally sense.

Why?

Well, because Fujifilm’s entry level line has basically been axed (except X-M line) and their other lower-end to mid-range models got an overall specs upgrade with a consequantial significant price increase (X-E5 and X-T50).

At this point in time, Fujifilm has no true entry level camera with viewfinder and that’s a problem if you ask me.

But how could a Fujifilm X-T30III/X-T40 look like?

Speculations (NOT RUMOR)

  • my realistic scenario: X-T30 II body with 5th generation processor and latest firmware
  • my hope scenario: X-T30 II body but with X-T100 alike unique screen mechanism – we reported here
  • my dream scenario: X-T50 body with 4th generation 26MP sensor

Since I think that price matters when it comes to the Fujifilm X-T40 or X-T30 III, I believe they’ll go for the first scenario I mentioned above.

But feel free to let us know in the comments what you think about all of this.

Don’t Hope for Fujifilm X-Pro4 in 2025 :: GFX Eterna in September and More – Mid-2025 Rumor Check

So far in 2025, we’ve had two X Summits, three brand new Fujifilm camera announcements, two X-mount lenses, and even a couple of new Instax cameras.

That’s quite a gear-packed year already!

And with all that gear also came plenty of rumors.

So let’s take a moment to look back and see how accurate we’ve been so far in 2025 thanks to our sources:

  • 59 rumors shared so far in 2025
  • 1 rumor still to be verified
  • 56 correct rumors out of 57 verifiable rumors
  • 1 wrong rumor
  • 1 rumor not in ranking
  • 98.25% correct rumors

What’s left in terms of rumors for 2025?

Well, not much actually. Which is why below I insert also rumors shared back in 2024 that still have to be verified, such as this X-Pro4 release info rumor and Fujifilm TX-3 rumors. All ranked by reliability.

Rumor Overview with Rating

HIGH RATING*
* 75% to 99% correct

  1. GFX Eterna full announcement in September (shared June 4)
  2. X-Pro3 successor not coming in 2025 (shared December 16, 2024)

MEDIUM HIGH RATING*
*50% to 74% correct

  1. Fujifilm Panoramic Digital Camera currently discussed by Fujifilm (not final decision yet) for release in 2028 (shared May 6, 2024)
    NOTE: I know that this is highly trusted, so they are discussing it. I just don’t rank it higher because this would otherwise give the impression that FujiRumors said this camera will come for sure. And in any case it is still 4 years away, so plans can change.
  2. Fujifilm TX-3 Digital Panoramic Camera: Fujifilm Debating Between Bayer or X-Trans Sensor (shared September 2, 2024)
  3. Next X-Pro coming with improved hybrid viewfinder (shared September 3, 2024)

MEDIUM LOW RATING*
*25% to 49% correct

  1. nothing

LOW RATING*
*1% to 24% correct

  1. nothing. I mean, it could be the longest list considering the number of fakes I got also in 2025. But we don’t like to bother our readers with fake stuff like others do.
