Fujifilm did a lot of things right with the Fujifilm GFX50R, and it definitely helped to breath new life into Fujifilm GFX medium format sales. So high time to dedicate this roundup to the Fujifilm GFX50R.
Weekend curiosity:
Guys, it’s time for me to quit my teacher job, leave my family, my little rented apartment, my lovely mountains, pack my stuff into my 10 years old Mazda2 and move up North to Sweden.
Why?
Because I want to be ruled by a Fujifilm X shooter! :)
In fact, thanks to a tip from a FujiRumors readers, I just discovered that Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden, is a Fujifilm X shooter.
He uses either a Fujifilm X-T10 or X-T20, and very likely soon a Fujifilm X-T30 :).
His lens is the Queen under the kit lenses, the XF18-55, a stellar lens…. not like a SONY kit lens, which uses the bottom of a bottle as front element ;).
So, Fujifilm might not be good enough for professional photographers, but at least it’s good enough for Kings and for…

When I was at Photokina, Fujifilm was very attentive not to display the Fujifilm GFX100S from the backside. And also the images they published on the web so far don’t show the backside of the camera.
However, I took a close look at the images we have so far, and I noticed that there are two joysticks at the back of the camera (see top image). Other cameras with integrated battery grip, such as the Nikon D5 and the Canon 1Dx MK II, also have two joysticks. And also Fuji’s own vertical grips for X series cameras offer an additional joystick.
Down below more leaked Fujifilm GFX100 specs… definitely more exciting than today’s one ;).
Recently we also compared the size of the Fujifilm GFX100 with several other cameras, including the Sony A7III and many more. Check out the comparisons here.

RUMOR, NEWS and COMMUNITY
Fujifilm GFX 100
It’s time to put some order in the myriad of rumors, and give you guys a timeline of the Fujifilm products that will come in 2019, as well as give a quick glance at 2020.
This is just an approximate timeline, that I will update as soon as I get new information.
January/April 2019
* based on our rumors
May/August 2019
* based on our rumors
** our sources say XF 16-80 will not come in early 2019
*** just an educated guess by FujiRumors, but it could make sense to announce it along with Fujifilm GFX100
September/December 2019
* based on reports at techardar. I place them in the second half of 2019, because I do not think their release is imminent (if techradar is right about 2019 release)
Top Possible Bonus Gear in 2019/2020
*based on rumor
** wishful thinking based on XF10 disappointment :)
*** no rumors. but please, FUJI, PLEASE!!!
Coming 2020
* our sources say it will not be released in 2019, hence must be sometimes in 2020, since I don’t think Fuji will wait until 2021
** based on official Fujifilm roadmap
Probably Not Coming in 2019/2020

Price matters, and now that the Fujifilm X-H1 is $900 off, it suddenly sells like hot cakes. The Fujifilm X-H1 is currently the best selling camera at AmazonUS, and also the Fujifilm X-T3 is high in the ranking.
Good time to get into Fuji IBIS, especially since the Fujifilm X-H2 will not come in 2019.
Also, new cameras joined the deals. The Fujifilm X-E3 body is $200 off, but grab it with XF18-55 and save $300. New deals also on Fujifilm X-T20, Fujifilm X-T2, Fujifilm X-T100 and more. Check out the full list down below.

At my photokina visit in September 2018, I could not miss to visit one of the rising stars in the lens industry, Venus Optics.
Their Laowa 9mm F2.8 Zero-D lens ended up being the best selling lens 2018 here on FujiRumors. Check out top 3 selling lenses, cameras and overall camera gear in this dedicated article.
At Photokina, I also had the opportunity to handle the Laowa 17mm f/4, the widest G-mount lens for the Fujifilm GFX system.
Well, I have to inform you that the wait for this lens will be a bit longer than expected, since we have been informed (thanks), that the Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D GFX will come in March 2019.
I did share a hands on video of the Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D as well as hands on images and specs already.
I remind you that Venus Optics also offers the Laowa Magic Format Converter for Fujifilm GFX, which allows you to adapt your Canon and Nikon full frame lenses onto the Fujifilm GFX without any vignetting.

According to techradar predictions, the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will come in 2019. And they seem pretty confident about that, since they write here:
“We’ve pooled together what we know for sure with our predictions for the next twelve months.”
Less likely, but also a possibility according to techradar is the Fujifilm X100F successor (may it be called Fujifilm X200 or Fuji X100V or anything else).
If techradar is accurate, this means that Fujifilm changed their usual camera-refresh cycle, and that they will not skip one sensor/processor generation with the Fujifilm X-Pro3, as they did with the X-Pro2.
Here on FujiRumors we have already shared Fujifilm X-Pro3 concepts and wish lists.
Oh, and did you know that the Fujfiilm X-T30 is just around the corner? ;)
