Top 20 Cameras of This Decade: Three Fujifilm Cameras Make the Ranking and DSLR is (almost) Dead
Top 20 Cameras of this Decade
DPReview just named 3 Fujifilm cameras among the top 20 cameras of this decade (2010 – 2019).

As you can see from our Fujifilm camera release timeline, Fujifilm usually released a new X100 camera every two years, but this time, they waited unusually long, and we gave you 3½ reasons why Fujifilm is wating so long.
But at some point, it had to happen, and now I can tell you when.
The Fujifilm X100V will see the light of the day in February 2020.
Moreover, our sources tell us that the price should be around $1,500, but that’s just the current estimate. However, in terms of price, things can change from here until launch, but right now Fujifilm is gravitating towards this price tag.

Top Fujifilm X100 related articles you should check out.
As lovely as Fujifilm’s film simulations come out of the box, there is always a way, to fine tune them to taste, simply by changing some settings quickly in the camera.
For example, so did Pete:
Today I would like to share the film simulation receipts of FR-reader Ritchie Roesch, which I stumbled upon in the comments to this article here.
I will share only one here on FujiRumors. For the rest, check out the links I will provide below:
NOTE: Some profiles require newer Fujifilm cameras that have the Color Chrome effect or certain film simulations not available in older cameras
And:
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:
It’s high time to update our older Fujifilm 2019/2020 camera and lens release timeline.
This is just an approximate timeline and expect to see updates to this list over the next few weeks and months.
For now, this is mainly just an update to the list we shared back in January.
All rumors are as always exclusive FujiRumors.com information. When I just make some guess, I will highlight that for you in the notes.
How Many Lenses a Year?
Fall 2019
Coming 2020
Expect 1 or 2 more X as well as GF lenses. My guess:
Probably NOT Coming 2019/2020
* our sources say it will not be released in 2019, and probably not even in 2020. But Fujifilm managers confirmed here, that the X-H line will continue
Top Possible Bonus Gear in 2020

World Press Photo is world’s most prestigious photojournalism contest.
In 2017, Fujifilm was the only brand to break the DSLR hegemony and also in the 2016, the X-Pro1 was the only MILC to snap a winning price.
In 2019, it is still DSLR that dominates, by taking 71% of the winning photos, but it’s less than in the past:
2019 has been Fuji’s best year so far, since Fuji X shooters snapped 4 winning images.
Interesting to note that Fuji’s rangefinder styled cameras win over the DSLR-styled ones, as opposed to real life, where the X-T line far outsells them all, the X-Pro, X100 and X-E line.
But at the end of the day, what matters is that we can see lots of great images at the worldpressphoto page here, and I am pretty sure you won’t care which image has been taken with which camera, but simply be captured by the stories they tell.

For the second time today (first time here), I had to find a way through the security check and get into the Photokina halls. Stealthy like a ninja, I made it again.
This time I was armed with my wonderful Fujifilm X-E3 and I snapped some pictures of the upcoming Fujinon lenses.
I apologize for the quality, since I tried to make my way through a couple of Fujifilm managers and an angry lady, who told me “can I help you” in a tone that clearly ment “p*** off from here“.
So time was limited, the conditions difficult, I could not touch the lenses, but I made it… somehow.
And when nobody was watching, I quickly grabbed a Fujifilm GFX 50R and made a super quick hands on video.
Back to the lenses:

This morning started just as usual.
I woke up at 5:30 AM to prepare my coffee in the fantastic Bialetti Brikka Moka recommended to me by a FR-reader (thanks a ton, a game changer :) ).
Usually I get about 10 emails over night, and I try to reply to all of them as quickly as possible within 6:30 AM, but this morning an email of a source made me almost spill my precious coffee.
I received the information about an internal Fujifilm document that predicts the following scenario:
Many Fujifilm X and GFX shooters earn their bread and butter with Fujifilm cameras, and many of those are also extremely successful in their specific genre.
For example, there are Fujifilm shooters, who won prestigeous awards, such as…
You also probably know Kevin Mullins, one of the top wedding photographers globally speaking, who shoots exclusively with Fujifilm X series camera.
The list could go on and on (and I apologize for all those I didn’t mention here), but today it’s about Markus Klinko, a photographer, who saw his work displayed at Times Square in New York, who photographed top celebrities like Beyoncé (btw, Beyoncé shoots Fujifilm X100s, as you can see her here) and David Bowie.
Markus is also a good friend of FujiRumors, and he has also contributed with several articles on Fujirumors.com.
Today we have the pleasure to dedicate our “Behind the X gear” episode to our friend Markus Klinko. Enjoy :)
