The Trinity

We can now say with 100% certainty that

But after I’ve shared the rumor, I have noticed some misunderstandings. So let me address those first, and then we’ll talk about each of the three cameras

Is it All We’ll Get?

So, I told you that there will be three cameras, and that they will come in 2024.

But I didn’t mean to say that all we get in 2024 are these three cameras, and all of them will come in the first half of 2024 (as I see reported around on Forums etc).

I was referring to the fact that initially we told you that there will be “3 or more cameras” coming in first half 2024, and now we can be more specific and confirm that the number of cameras will be 3.

So to be clear I want to remark: I don’t know how many cameras will be launched in the entire year 2024. What I know so far is that there will be 3 cameras in the first half (the replacements of these models), and there will be potentially more cameras in the second half of 2024. But so far I have no rumors about it.

So there is still the second half of 2024 where Fujifilm could have potentially lots of time to please us with much more gear.

And I promise that after the imminent X100VI-centric X Summit I will try to find out more about it.

Anyway, let me quickly talk about each of the three cameras.

Camera 1

Fujifilm X100VI

The first one to come is of course the Fujifilm X100VI, which will see the light of the day tomorrow.

There is not much to guess around, as we have already leaked all the core specs here on FujiRumors.

Now all we have to do is to wait for the Fujifilm X Summit tomorrow and enjoy the launch and we will cover it on FR.

So, all you have to do, is to sit down, relax, and just follow FujiRumors.

UPDATED WITH ADDITIONAL MESSAGE – Message to Anonymous Source who Contacted me a Few Hours Ago (and a Message to Readers)

To Readers: A few hours ago I received a message from an anonymous source. It came to me via rumor box, so I have no idea, who it is and how to contact it. My only way to contact the source is via FujiRumors. I hope you don’t mind, but making a public post is the only way to reach out to the source.

I know these article are not very appreciated by you. But if this article works, then soon we could have even more leaks. So I hope articles like this (which happen maybe 3 times a year) are an acceptable compromise for you.

UPDATE To the SOURCE NR 2.

Just received another message (from another source??). You can resend. No problem. I will handle the information exactly as you ask me to do. And thanks for the Nickname!

TO THE SOURCE Nr.1

First of all, thanks for contacting me. I just wanted to tell you that I do not have the material you told me you have. Which is why you definitely triggered my rumor-radars :).

If you want, you can send it to me (and tell me how to handle it).

You should be able to upload material directly via rumor box.

But you can also:

  • contact me via private message on Facebook, Twitter/X or Instagram
  • contact me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com (you can use a fake email if you want, but after 11+ years of rumor-blogging, I can guarantee you that you’ll remain 100% anonymous also if you’d decide to use your regular email)

Thanks so much again.

Fujifilm X-Pro4: Here is the Truth!

I’ll give it to you straight.

I’ll give it to you raw.

Because there is no better way to bring you rumors of this kind.

The long awaited and much anticipated successor of this camera here, the Fujifilm X-Pro4, will not come in 2024.

Could it come in 2025, or maybe 2026, or 2045? Will it ever come?

I don’t know. All I know is that we will not get it in 2024.

I have spoken.

And in the video above I will give you the best tip ever to deal with this rumor ;).

STAY TUNED: Important Rumor about a (Long Awaited) Camera Dropping Today

click the image to see the camera, whose replacement we are going to talk about today
click the image to see the camera, whose replacement we are going to talk about today

I am sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but I have something important to tell you.

It’s a rumor about a camera many of us are waiting for: the successor of this camera here.

The big unveil will take place today:

BUT

Followers of my YouTube Channel will get the answer 4 minutes before it is published here on the blog.

So here is how it goes:

I will soon mark the YouTube video as Premiere video. Once it’s marked as such, you will know the time when it is shared. So subscribe to my YouTube channel to get instant notification about when the rumor goes online.

Once the premiere is over (4 minutes) I will share the article here on FujiRumors.

Fujifilm’s List of 40MP Supported Lenses has One Big Mystery!

 

The Famous List – Updated

Last time we gave you an update on which Fujinon lenses will get maximum benefit from the 40MP sensors, it was back in 2022.

Since then, Fujifilm has updated the list with new lenses. But for some obscure reason, they hide the list somewhere in a tab inside the Fujifilm X-H2 product page.

So I have collected all lenses currently listed by Fujifilm into a single page on my Amazon page here. I will update the list as soon as Fujifilm adds new lenses to it.

An Important Clarification

Don’t misunderstand it: it’s not that lenses that are not on the list won’t work on Fujifilm’s 40MP camera bodies. It’s just that, unlike other companies who do not disclose anything, Fujifilm was upfront and told customers which lenses will be able to resolve all the 40MP and which ones not.

But also lenses not on the list, will profit from higher resolution cameras. Fujifilm writes:

The list specifies Fujifilm’s selection of lenses that have high resolution performance from edge to edge at maximum aperture, allowing to fully experience all that the 40MP sensor has to offer. Lenses not listed will also allow you to experience the improved resolution performance of the 40MP sensor.

The One Mystery

They Are Coming!

They Are Coming

They are coming.

Soon they’ll find out.

And once they do, it’s over.

They’ll cause shortages, boost prices and create endless long waiting list.

But we can beat them.

Because the TikTok crowd is not aware of the Fujifilm X100VI (yet).

They don’t follow photography forums or rumor sites.

But it won’t take long until their TikTok idol will tell them about the X100VI.

So all we have is this short time window between announcement and the moment the news of the X100VI spreads on social media.

That’s why, if you want the Fujifilm X100VI, I make a recommendation that I can’t remember I’ve ever done in 12 years of blogging: if you want the X100VI, don’t wait and pre-order it instantly.

Beat the rush. Or risk to endlessly wait for the Fujifilm X100VI.

And remember: you can always send it back within 30 days. Or resell it at twice the price :D

But When?

Many asked me when pre-orders are taken. So here is how Fujifilm (usually) does it.

There is the X Summit. You can follow it here on FujiRumors. We will provide the live stream as well as a live summary.

During the X Summit, NO preorders are taken and NO reviews will be shared.

Once the X Summit is over (which could be anytime between 1:00AM and 2:00AM New York time), the embargo on the X100VI will be lifted. Reviews will drop and stores will upload the dedicated X100VI preorder pages.

Of course, as soon as the embargo is lifted, FujiRumors will start the Live Blog, where you’ll find all pre-order links and we will collect all the relevant reviews you should check out.
