September 7 (if that’s really the date) will be a terrific Fuji announcements day :)

In addition to the Fujifilm X-E3, the Fujinon XF80mm Macro and the Fujinon GF45mm, I hear that Fujifilm will also release “lens roadmap updates“.

We already leaked the internal G-mount lens roadmap back in April here, and regarding the X-mount lens roadmap, the hottest rumored lenses are the XF200mmF2, the XF8-16mmF2.8 and the XF18mmF2 MKII.

The Fujifilm X-E3 will very likely be launched on September 7 at Fuji’s “Fujkina” event in Toyko, and probably along with other Fuji gear.

In order to manage his impatience, FR-reader Miko created his own mock-up of the Fujifilm X-E3, based on the X-E3 rumors and leaked images, which I’m happy to share today here on Fujirumors. Centered hot shoe, shutter/ISO dial combo, front dial, AF-assist light moved higher, no pop up flash… and ♥ super-sexy ♥ :)

I’m here… back from holidays, and 100% focused on the rumors and announcements (on September 7). Hope you will stick around on FujiRumors… and feel free to follow Fujirumors on Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter.

And now, time for an overview of rumored X-E3 specs:

Obvious Fujifilm X-E3 specs

• 24MP X-Trans III sensor
• X-Processor Pro
• Acros film simulation

Not Rumored, but Possible X-E3 specs

• Full Auto Switch like on X-T20 – see this image

IBIS, really?

In the comments and at our facebook page, there was some confusion. People thought FR has said the X-E3 will have IBIS. Well, although I actually realize that no source explicitly told me that it will NOT have IBIS, I feel quite confident to say that the X-E3 won’t have IBIS. So, although not rumored by FR-sources, I say….

• no IBIS

I guess all the confusion comes from the following rumors

• Fujifilm X-T2 Successor to be Called Fujifilm X-T2S – read here
• Fujifilm X-T2S will have IBIS (In Body Image Stabilization) – read here
• Don’t Worry, Fujifilm X-T2S In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) will Work with ALL Fujinon X-Mount Lenses – read here

Rumored Fujifilm X-E3 specs

• more expensive than X-T20 – rumor here
• 4K video – rumor here
• first leaked images – rumor here
• Combined Shutter/ISO dial – rumor here
• No tilt screen – rumor here
• Bluetooth – rumor here
• Maybe, besides Bluetooth, there could be also some more new technologies on the X-E3 that all other X-series cameras don’t have – rumor here
• Focus Jostick – rumor here
• smaller than X-E2 – rumor here
• announcement this year – rumor here, probably fall this year – rumor here
• centered hot shoe – rumor here
• no pop up flash – rumor here

There is a new firmware update on the way for the Fujifilm X-T20 (and maybe for other Fujifilm cameras too?)

A FR-reader just received back his Fujifilm X-T20 from repair, and he saw that his Fujifilm X-T20 has already firmware 1.02 installed (latest official version is 1.01).

When will Fujifilm release firmware 1.02 for every X-T20 owner?

As we told you earlier today here on Fujirumors, Fujifilm will have a big Fujikina event on September 7. That could be a good date to release the latest firmware update for X-T20… but I have no rumored date for now.

What we have seen in the past, is that Fujifilm usually releases updates for several cameras on the very same day, so I wouldn’t be surprised if also other Fujifilm cameras will get an update. But also in this case, just a speculation of mine.

Anyway… whatever comes, I’m 100% focussed to give you guys the fastest udpates, the most reliable rumors and the freshest news in the Fuji world.

*** The fact that Fujirumors is consistently the first to break the news and rumors, is only made possible thanks to your support. By sharing with FR, you allow me to keep the entire Fuji World up to date (and excited) in real-time. I couldn’t do all this alone, so thanks so much for your help… and feel free to keep up sharing… I can’t wait to see what you guys spot next :)
