Why a Digital XPan Fujifilm TX-3 Camera is NOT Needed

Look guys,

I am fan of the idea of Fujifilm launching the Fujifilm TX-3 digital XPan camera in 2028.

I support this idea and I hope that that rumor will become true in a few years from now.

And I am not the only one.

FR-reader Pavel has written a wonderful article about why a digital XPan is needed and has shared lots of gorgeous samples.

I have also added my own thoughts to this debate.

But FujiRumors is a community. And in a community we can have different ideas.

And we love to give space to people who have a different view on certain things, even if those views do not match with my ideas.

And today it’s Timothy (Instagram @gibsonetal), who dropped me an email and told me why a digital Fujifilm TX-3 XPan camera is not needed.

I’ll share this thoughts below and you are free to drop your feedback in the comments below.

No ultra-wide TX-1 or XPAN? Just get an anamorphic lens!

Fujifilm X App 2.1.2 released

Fujifilm has updated the X App software to version 2.1.2 for iOS. Down below are all the details.

Btw, what’s you experience with App? For me it is working quite well so far. Definitely a more pleasing experience than the old app. I actually also used it to update the firmware on my X-T5 the other day.

What’s New

  1. The following software bugs are fixed.
    (1) Live View is not displayed in the correct aspect ratio depending on the smartphone settings.
    (2) The “Number of lifetime shots” is not displayed correctly in “Equipment Status” When using X100VI.
  2. The item name is revised as follows.
    (1) The item name, “MECHANICAL SHUTTER (current module)” displayed in the “Equipment Status” is changed to match the “Number of shutter movements” used in some camera menus.

You can download the latest Fujifilm X App for iOS here and for Android here.

BHphoto 4th of July Savings

BHphoto has launched its 4th of July savings.

My advice: if you plan to grab any of the SD or CFexpress cards in offer, make sure to grab one that is officially recommended by Fujifilm.

As far as third party batteries goes, I personally use a couple of them, from Nitecore to Smallrig. But I had once a third party battery swell in my X-E3 and I had a hard time to remove it (a Patona battery). And if a swollen third party battery damages your camera, the repair will not be covered by the warranty. Just keep that in mind. I still use them, but from third party brands I have learned to trust over time.

Fujifilm CEO: Supply is Normal, Overproduction Would Force Discounts and Reduce Brand Strength and Gear Value

Recently Fujifilm published the latest financial results, which were very positive for the entire imaging division.

Along with the financial result, they also published a Q&A section (you can find it below in English).

During the Q&A, Fujifilm CEO Mr. Goto has been asked about the shortages and limited inventory.

And I want to be very precise here, so I will copy and paste the answers of the CEO.

Fujifilm June Announcements: New Firmware Updates (Reala Ace), New Tether Software and New GFX Challenge Grant Program 2024

Fujifilm is back with three announcements:

You can see all details in the video above.

Usually Fujifilm also teases new X summits in these videos, but this time they did not say or hint anything about future X summit.

Personally I am so excited to finally be able to shoot in Reala Ace. Will it be able to dethrone Astia as my favorite allrounder film simulation? I will let you know here on FujiRumors. :)

New Fujifilm Tether App Launched and X RAW Studio Updated

It’s Update Day

Fujifilm just released major firmware updates for several cameras and also for a lens.

But that’s not all.

There are updates also for Fujifilm X RAW Studio and also a brand new software has been launched, the Fujifilm Tether App.

So let’s look at what happened.

Fujifilm X RAW Studio

Fujifilm has released an update for the Fujifilm X RAW Studio software.

Fujifilm X RAW Studio Ver.1.24.0 – download here
The software update Ver.1.24.0 incorporates the following issues:

  2. A software bug is fixed that the “COLOR TEMPERATURE” of “WHITE BALANCE” set in “Profile” is not reflected to the preview and recorded image correctly with macOS 14.

Fujifilm Tether App

We told you something new would happen also on the software front, and here it is: the brand new “Fujifilm Tether App”.

”FUJIFILM TETHER APP” provides functions to utilize digital cameras (GFX/X series) by connecting them to a computer. Even if your camera does not support the tethered shooting function, you can use the function to save/load camera settings.

You can read all the details below and download it here.

Fujifilm Says Firmware Autofocus Bug Fix and Reala Ace are Coming End of June

Fujifilm USA manager Victor Ha was a guest at the latest Adorama live show.

When asked about the autofocus bug fix on a few Fujifilm cameras, the manager says first of all thanks to the Fujifilm community for reporting about it, but especially he says there will be a firmware fix coming on the end of June.

Also, the Fujifilm X-T5 & Co will finally get Reala Ace film simulation with this update on the end of June.

That’s in contrast to what Fujifilm China said, who announced the Reala Ace firmware coming in August.
