Top Fujifilm (Related) Gear 2024 – VOTE

Top Gear 2024

So we told: there are no more Fujifilm announcements in 2024

Maybe we might still get some third party manual of even autofocus lenses (maybe the X mount version of this lens here for example), but they’d come so late in the year that I prefer to include them in the 2025 list anyway.

The list includes only Fujifilm cameras and Fujinon or third party autofocus lenses (no manual focus), which are:

  1. Fujifilm X100VI
  2. Fujifilm X-T50
  3. Fujifilm X-M5
  4. Fujifilm GFX100S II
  5. Fujinon XF 16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II
  6. Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 R LM WR
  7. Fujinon XF 500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR
  8. Fujinon GF 500mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR
  9. Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 X
  10. Sirui Aurora AF 85mm f/1.4 X
  11. TTArtisan AF 56mm f/1.8 X
  12. Meike AF 55mm f/1.4 X

Fujifilm Bluetooth Wireless Remote Shutter Release with M5Stack

A couple of weeks ago, in our FR-reader wishlist roundup, FR-reader Keith wished for the following: a wireless remote shutter release for a Fuji GFX100 II, that does not require a transmitter and cable connection, and does not require a phone, like Canon is offering with the Canon BR-E1.

Well, there seems to be a DIY solution for that, as also mentioned by Keith. You’ll have to use the M5Stack M5StickC Plus ESP32-PICO Mini IoT Development Kit.

So, first you have to get the M5Stack, which is available globally at Amazon. There is also a newer version of the M5Stack, which you still don’t find everywhere, but it is listed also at some Amazon branches such as Amazon DE here and Amazon IT here, but you can also get it at shop.m5stack.

In any case, it will work with all of these M5Stack versions.

Once you have the device you load the firmware available at Github here on it. The firmware upload can now also be done via the installer web page here.

Done that, it will work as a bluetooth wireless remote shutter release.

You can see the list of Fujifilm cameras on which it has been tested to work at Github here.

On the project page, there is a section for ‘Installation’ (see here) which has a link to the recommended ‘Easy Web Install’ (see here).

Fujifilm CEO: Supply Issues Resolved, Production Increased – Now Able to Estimate Delivery Times

Fujifilm released its fiscal report for Q2 2024.

We noticed that once again the growth for the imaging division was very strong.

And it was very strong despite Fujifilm having had major supply problems since at least 2+ more years.

But things are slowly going better, at least according to the Fujifilm CEO, who in a Q&A for shareholders said this [google translated]:

The supply and demand issue that has been bothering us has been resolved, and we have increased production, so we are no longer in a situation where we don’t know when we will be able to get our hands on it.

We have now reached a point where we can roughly estimate when we will be able to deliver the product to our customers.

Let me say it is debatable whether the supply issue has been really “resolved”, considering that customers are still facing long wait times, like early X100VI buyers, who are still waiting months for their orders. But maybe there is a google translation issue with it. Maybe the CEO wanted to say they are “moving towards a solution”.

Not to talk about lenses such as the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR, which was announced in 2021, I saw in stock once in 2022, and then I could not find it anywhere up until today.

Besides that, here is what the CEO also said:

  • Fujifilm will grow its imaging business mainly with instax and digital cameras
  • currently there are 2 to 3 new Instax products a year and Fujifilm is looking to increase this trend
  • more investments into marketing, but it seems he refers more about Instax in this case, as they see Instax growth potential in China and India

Watch Out Fujifilm: Ricoh GRIV Coming First Quarter 2025 and Monochrome Version to Follow Later On

According to a source (thanks!!!), the popular Ricoh GRIII will get a successor pretty soon.

In fact, I have been told that the Ricoh GR IV (not to mistake with the Ricoh GR Digital IV) is set to be announced in the first quarter of 2025.

And possibly even more exciting than that, later on next year, Ricoh will also launch a monochrome version of it, which for now we will simply call the Ricoh GR IV m.

So again:

  • Ricoh GR IV in first quarter 2025
  • at some point in 2025 (after the GRIV), there will be also a monochrome Ricoh GR IV M.

Here on FujiRumors we have been long asking for a monochrome X100 camera (or X-Pro). Sadly Fujifilm has not delivered so far, but I am happy to see other brands giving more options in this regard, so we do not have to go for the super expensive Leica offering.

One more reason for Fujifilm not only to work hard to ship as many X100VI’s as possible before the new Ricoh GRIV drops, but also to finally consider to give us a monochrome camera before other brands eat up too much of that market niche.

Fujifilm Imaging President Discusses Recovery from Supply-Demand Imbalance in 2024

image courtesy: phileweb

Koji Matsumoto, the president of Fujifilm Imaging, age an interview in Japanese to phileweb here.

In summary:

  • X100VI, X-T50 and GFX100S II sales are strong
  • The balance between supply and demand has collapsed, but it has recovered this year
  • X100VI and others are still in a difficult situation “but we are gradually loosening back orders”
  • Fujifilm’s CEO notes that smartphone ease-of-use has increased global demand for instant and mirrorless cameras [admin note: I guess he means that more people take pictures now than ever and now many smartphone users aspire to take even better pictures using a proper camera]
  • the fact that demand has increased dramatically globally is the root of the problem of product supply. The supply is not keeping up. Fujifilm apologizes for the inconvenience
