Release Timeline for Fujifilm X-T4, X-H2, X-T40, X-Pro3, X100V, X-E4, X-T200 and X-A6 Based on Fuji’s Previous Camera Releases

Fujifilm Timeline

Almost 1 year ago, I published a release timeline of Fujifilm cameras, and, based on that timeline, I made guesses on when a successor could come.

Turns out that, so far, our timeline was pretty accurate. In fact, based on Fuji’s release schedule, we predicted:

  • Prediction: X-T30 in February 2019 – Reality: January 2019 – Accuracy: 1 month off
  • Prediction: X-Pro3 in January 202o – Reality: around October 2019 – Accuracy: about 3 months off

Now I thought it’s time to update our timeline, because:

  • some cameras have already been announced (X-T30) and others will be announced soon (X-Pro3)
  • this time we include cameras not listed last time (X-T200 and X-A6)

Down below you find the updated release timeline for:

The X-T4/X-H2 Grain of Salt Corner

Keep in mind that this camera replacement timeline is NOT based ON RUMORS, but on past camera release schedule of Fujifilm.

Hence, take it with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-T4 release. The timing between X-H1 and X-T3 has proven to be very damaging for X-H1 sales, so there might be some changes here.

In fact, according to our sources, the Fujifilm X-H2 might not even come in 2020! But I want to wait for more details and confirmations, before changing the below timeline.

Speaking of X-H2 and X-T4, the FujiRumors community has voted on various Fujifilm X-H2 and X-T4 release timing options. Check out the poll results here (I voted for the option currently on the 3rd position).

Fujifilm X100V is the Name of the X100F Successor

Fujifilm X100V

Rumor Flash:

The Fujifilm X100F successor will be called Fujifilm X100V.

Don’t forget to:

Fujifilm X100V (X200) with New Lens, but still 23mm

Fujifilm X100V/X200

When I shared the rumor about the Fujifilm X100V (or X200) having a new lens, many of you wondered if Fujifilm would change the focal length.

Would Fujifilm go with an 18mm lens like on the Fujifilm X70 / XF10? Or maybe even a 35mm lens (50 FF equiv.)?

According to our sources, the lens will be new, but keep the 23mm focal length.

I remind you that the Fujifilm X100V (or X200) will be released in 2020 only.

Fujifilm X100V (or X200) Coming with New Lens

We already told you that the Fujifilm X100F successor (X100V/X200) will come in 2020.

I am still working on the details, but I can now safely say, that the Fujifilm X100V (or X200) will come with a new lens (and of course we can expect the latest X-Trans IV sensor in it).

As an anonymous source also told me, “the old lens is already struggling to make use of the current sensor”.

I know you guys have questions about the new lens. And I am working on this. But for now I do not feel confident enough to give a final answer on this. But the work is in progress, so expect updates on this hopefully soon.

Thanks to the anonymous source, who contacted me yesterday confirming me it will have a new lens. I read also the rest of your message. I will make a routine checks, and share later on. Thanks a ton!

Fujifilm X100V/X200 Coming in… The Answer in This FujiRumors Article!

Looking at the Fujifilm X series camera release timeline we shared last year, and comparing it with the current rumors, we can say that it turns out to be pretty accurate… except for one camera: the Fujifilm X100F successor (may it be called X100V or X200 or whatever)

The X100 line had a refresh cycle of about 2 years, and given that the X100F was launched in January 2017, everybody speculates it will come very soon, at least within 2019.

But trusted sources now informed us, that the Fujifilm X100V (or X200) will be launched in 2020 only!

This time Fujifilm decided to wait longer than ever to give us a successor.

And by the way, if you want to know which is the Fujifilm facebook group with less gear talk, less gear shots, less gear discussions and mostly focussed on the art of photography and images, than this is definitely our Fujifilm X100 facebook group.

I think this is representative for the people, who buy this camera: never think about gear again. Get the camera, one lens only, and go out and shoot. It’s all about being focused on taking pictures.

The liberation of limitation!

Fujifilm’s Sony-Level Autofocus Is Already Here — Hidden in Pre-Shot Mode, Waiting to Be Unlocked

Here We Are Again

When Fujifilm broke autofocus with last year’s firmware updates, Edvard was one of the YouTubers who delivered the most detailed, methodical, and technically grounded coverage of the issue.

Some people don’t like his tone. Others dislike the sarcasm or the way he presents his findings. That’s fine. None of that matters.

What matters is that his findings were legitimate.

And because they were legitimate, we shared several of his videos here on FujiRumors. And so we will do again today.

It’s a long video, which I will sum up below for you – a short version and a more detailed version.

Certain YouTubers Ignore Reality ;)

But before we get into the test results, I need to address something.

Sometimes, you hear accusations that “FujiRumors is a Fujifilm propaganda machine.”

I mention this now because in Edvard’s video, there’s a YouTuber who was “featured” and who, last year, claimed I deliberately don’t report on Fujifilm AF problems—that I only push propaganda.

There’s just one problem with that narrative.

Beyond the fact that when large YouTubers discredit FujiRumors it obviously hurts the blog’s reputation (you then see angry comments towards me), the real issue is something else:

At the time the YouTuber made those claims, I had already shared on FujiRumors his very own video in which he rants against Fujifilm autofocus—along with many other critical videos and several articles on the same topic.

That’s a textbook example of cognitive bias: ignoring observable facts, blanking out reality, and repeating a story that fits one’s pre-existing beliefs rather than what actually happened.

Facts, however, don’t care about narratives.
And FujiRumors will continue to report both the good and the bad—regardless of who finds that inconvenient.

FujiRumors exists for Fujifilm camera users, not for Fujifilm as a corporation. And that’s why, once again, we have to talk about autofocus.

The Findings in Short

NOTE: extensive summary of the 34+ minutes video below

Edvard noticed that in pre-shot mode – when you half press the shutter button and the camera starts saving images on the camera – the camera has a terrific autofocus.

Focus transitions from far to near (and back) are smooth and confident. Subject tracking is excellent. You can actually hear the lens making constant micro-adjustments, a clear sign that the camera is performing many AF calculations per second. There is no hesitation, no stalling halfway through a focus pull—just continuous, fluid, sold, sticky AF behavior.

In fact, it’s so smooth and fast that at minute 4:52 he literally says:

This is Sony-like autfocus, guys!

And that’s where the real problem emerges.

The moment you fully press the shutter, autofocus behavior changes. The camera appears to perform fewer AF calculations, the lens moves in larger steps, and the result is visible hunting—especially when transitioning between near and far subjects.

Interestingly, fast burst modes help. On his X-T3, shooting at 30fps with a 1/100s, Edvard reports “the smoothest tracking I have ever seen on a Fujifilm camera.”

Which leads to an unavoidable conclusion:

The autofocus performance is already there.

Fujifilm just needs to bring the Pre-Shot AF behavior to all shooting modes.

Conclusions

Rather than seeing Edvard’s video as an attack on Fujifilm, it should be seen as good news: the performance photographers are asking for already exists inside the camera. It just needs to be unlocked more consistently.

If Fujifilm manages to bring that Pre-Shot autofocus behavior to all shooting modes, then this discussion ends overnight—and Fujifilm autofocus suddenly becomes a non-issue for everyone.

And that’s exactly why it’s important to talk about these things.

Fujifilm Camera Ownership Ranking: GFX Increases and the Real Ranking of Sony, Canon, and Nikon among FR-readers

The Ranking Results

The Top Deal – save $1,000 + Free CFexpress Type B card and Camera Bag

4.5 years ago I launched a survey on FujiRumors here, asking which camera system you own.

And since that was such a long time ago, I decided to launch a new survey again recently.

So what has changed in these 5 years?

Let’s check it the survey results first:

2021: I own Fujifilm X APS-C system only (58%)
2025: I own Fujifilm X APS-C system only (52%)

2021: I own Fujfilm X APS-C system + other systems (Sony, Canon etc.) (25%)
2025: I own Fujfilm X APS-C system + other systems (Sony, Canon etc.) (25%)

2021: I own both, the Fujifilm X and the GFX system (6%)
2025: I own both, the Fujifilm X and the GFX system (8%)

2021: I don’t own any Fujifilm Camera (4%)
2025: I don’t own any Fujifilm Camera (4%)

2021: I own Fujifilm GFX MF system + other systems (Sony, Canon etc.) (3%)
2025: I own Fujifilm GFX MF system + other systems (Sony, Canon etc.) (3%)

2021: I own Fujifilm X, Fujifilm GFX + other systems (Sony, Canon, etc) (2%)
2025: I own Fujifilm X, Fujifilm GFX + other systems (Sony, Canon, etc) (5%)

2021: I own Fujifilm GFX MF system only (2%)
2025: I own Fujifilm GFX MF system only (3%)

Ups and Downs

(-) The number of Fujifilm APS-C only shooters only has decreased by 6%.

(+) We see a 2% increase in GFX + Fujifilm X shooters (now 8%).

(+) There is a 3% increase in GFX + Fujifilm X + other brands shooters (now 5%).

(+) And finally a 1% increase in Fujifilm GFX only shooters (now 3%)

Same Same

(=) 25% still own Fujifilm APS-C + other systems

(=) 4% of people reading this blog do not own any Fujifilm camera yet

(=) 3% of people shoot Fujifilm GFX + other systems

Summary:

In 2021, 91% of readers owned a Fujifilm X series camera
In 2025, 90% of readers own a Fujifilm X series camera (-1%)

In 2021, 13% of readers owned a Fujifilm GFX camera
In 2025, 19% of readers own a Fujifilm GFX camera (+6%)

In 2021, 30% of Fujifilm X/GFX shooters also owned another system
In 2025, 33% of Fujifilm X/GFX shooters also own another system (+3%)

The number of people not owning a Fujifilm camera is stable at 4%.

Conclusions:

The Fujifilm X system remains the dominant choice among FujiRumors readers, with APS-C ownership barely shifting over the past 4.5 years (from 91% to 90%). What has changed is how people build their kits around it. Fewer photographers are sticking exclusively to APS-C, while more are expanding into GFX or mixing Fujifilm with other brands.

GFX shows the strongest momentum: its ownership has grown from 13% to 19%, driven both by X shooters adding medium format to their setup and by a small rise in GFX-only users. Multi-system ownership is also up, with 33% of Fujifilm shooters now pairing their Fuji gear with other brands.

Despite these shifts, the share of readers who don’t own any Fujifilm camera at all remains unchanged at 4%.

In short: the X system is still the backbone of the community, but GFX and multi-system hybrid setups are steadily on the rise, with GFX experiencing the biggest rise.

What This Means:

A 1% drop in Fujifilm APS-C ownership is negligible. Especially considering that if rumor sites covering other brands would launch the same survey, they’d probably see a sensible increase in Fujifilm owners (for example, Canon, Sony and Nikon shooters adding a Fujifilm X100VI to their camera gear setup).

But when it comes to FujiRumors readers, there are 6% less people shooting only with APS-C (from 58% to 52%), with most adding the GFX to their personal linuep.

And yet, despite more photographers expanding their kits with other systems, the majority remain loyal to their Fujiflim APS-C cameras with only a -1% drop. That probably indicates that no matter if they buy an additional Full Frame or Medium Format system, they still value the advantages of owning a Fujifilm APS-C system.

At the same time the rise of Fujifilm GFX is slow but steady. And quite frankly, the GFX system would explode and reach immense numbers overnight, if only Fujifilm would make this GFX camera, which Fujifilm has already shown us in its mock-up version. But we got the Fujifilm GFX Eterna 55 instead… oh well…

Last but not least, only an additional 3% of FR-readers are “flirting” with other systems and have added a non-Fujifilm system to their lineup (30% in 2021 and now 33%).

Fujifilm GFX100RF Wide Conversion Lens Option

Recently, I wrote an article about yet another WCL and TCL conversion lens set coming to the X100 system—this time from Viltrox. In that piece, I also expressed my hope that someone would finally create conversion lenses for the Fujifilm GFX100RF as well.

Well, while we don’t have any conversion lens specifically designed for the GFX100RF, it looks like the Ricoh GW-4 wide conversion lens actually works fine also on the Fujifilm GFX100RF.

I have found a video about it and also a blog post, you can find both of them below.

Summary of the video:

  • The Ricoh GW-4 wide-angle converter delivers surprisingly high image quality on the GFX100RF.
  • Sharpness remains strong, both in the center and corners, even with 100MP files.
  • Contrast stays consistent with the native lens; no noticeable loss in micro-contrast.
  • Minimal corner softness at typical landscape apertures (f/11–f/16).
  • Distortion is very low for a wide-angle converter and easily corrected when visible.
  • Flare control is good — lamps and bright light sources show no major artifacts.
  • Vignetting is minor and natural-looking, often negligible in real use.
  • Overall: delivers a clean, wide 21mm-equivalent image without the usual compromises of cheap add-on lenses.
