3½ Reasons Why Fujifilm is Waiting so Long to Release the Fujifilm X100V

Fujifilm X100V

When I recently posted the huge Fujifilm camera release timeline, I made one single error, that thankfully you guys corrected in the comments.

I calculated, that the Fujifilm X100 series got a refresh every 2 years, which is absolutely correct. But then, based on that refresh cycle, I said that the X100V should come two years after the X100F (which was announced in January 2017).

But this would mean the Fujifilm X100V should have hit the market in January 2019, which evidently it has not. Our sources say it will come at some point in 2020.

Now, not to justify my error, but, well, I run FujiRumors 365 days a year non stop, and I wrote that particular article in a bar, drinking beer, while waiting for the rain to stop and finally go out shooting again with my X-E3, as you can see here. Well, at this point I’ll just say is that it rained a lot that day ;)

I apologize if I confused you guys, so I felt I need to address this in a dedicated article.

But also, this is a good opportunity to quickly discuss, why Fujifilm is waiting so long, to finally give us a successor to the Fujifilm X100F.

Down below 3½ reasons for that:

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).

Hence, for your convenience, here are the top 15 FujiRumors articles for July.

Personally, my travel is done already, as I have been to stunningly beautiful Croatia with that fanboy SonyAlphaRumors guy.

We will see if I can sneak in another trip into what remains of my summer break. If so, make sure to follow my Instagram to see where I am hanging around.

But even if I can’t travel, I live in a wonderful spot of this planet. Beauty is all around me, and my Fuji is always ready to capture it.

Oh… and my wife is starting out with photography this summer, so I can’t be more happy than this anyway :) #proudhusband

Fujifilm X100V is the Name of the X100F Successor

Fujifilm X100V

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!

Understanding the Fujifilm X-Pro4 Release Timeline

🔥 BHphoto Mega Deal Zone 🔥 – Limited Time

We told you that the Fujifilm X-Pro4 will be coming only sometimes after the Fujifilm X-T6, which will be announced in September 2026.

I don’t have a precise time-frame, but as soon as I know something I will update you here.

But what could be the reason for such a long delay?

Well, Fujifilm certainly is under huge pressure with the X-Pro4.

They said they are aware of the high expectations and they want to make it more than just an upgrade.

It’s also going to be the Fujifilm luxury line, and as such it definitely needs something that sets it apart from every other Fujifilm camera.

Another problem: for many the Fujifilm X-E5 is almost exactly the X-Pro many always wanted: no optical viewfinder, IBIS, premium fee, rangefinder stylel. Basically an X-E/Pro.

Thanks to the X-E5, now the Fujifilm X-Pro4 has to the freedom to experiment and come up with something truly special. But in this freedom there are also lots of choices to be done. And I think it’s these choices that slowed down the release of the Fujifilm X-Pro4.

One choice Fujifilm obviously already did was to wait for the new sensor and processor, which is why we never got a 5th gen X-Pro4.

Then there are open questions on certain design choices.

Should the hidden screen remain (some really love it), or should it go away (as Fujifilm Switzerland seemed to tease)?

And should they maybe also implement some X half features like the multifunctional film-lever?

How can Fujifilm improve the hybrid viewfinder, if it’s still there?

What about implementing the GFX100RF aspect ratio dial or even the super-sleek hidden X-E5 dial, maybe with other functions than on GFX100RF and X-E5?

You know, designing and X-T6, X-H3 or X100VI is pretty straightforward. in terms of camera body, there are not really many relevant choices to make.

But things are different with the X-Pro4. The Fujifilm design team can go much more creative, and I’d argue at this point, with this X-E5 on the market, they also have to. And all these choices, these decisions, need time.

And to be clear: if the X-Pro4 comes shortly after the X-T6, then all these decisions have already been made. But if it takes a bit longer, then Fujifilm might have still some freedom to make certain choices. And in any case, all of this explains why it is taking so long.

So yes, we have to be patient.

But the time Fujifilm is taking shows us that they are thinking it through like never before.

And I believe that the day the X-Pro4 drops, it will truly be something special and it will an iconic camera for many years to come.
