Weekend thoughts.
There are a lot of differences between Fujifilm and Sony, and I believe each company could learn some things something from each other.
But today I’d like to focus on one aspect, that I believe Sony and other brand are doing right, and Fujifilm should copy.
Let’s talk about it.
Here is another roundup of wishlist shared by the FR-community to me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com.
Previous Wishlist Episodes:
As opposed to the last episode, this time we focus on camera wishes instead of lens wishes.
In this roundup, one particular and recurrent wish finds me totally agreeing with: the need for a Fujifilm X80!
I do hope Fujifilm will understand that the Fujifilm XF10 was not the X70 successor we were waiting for and that they will finally give us an X80.
I mean, Fujifilm should have been able to overcome these X80 issues by now!!!

Here is another roundup of wishlist shared by the FR-community to me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com.
Previous Wishlist Episodes:
Because it touches the wish expressed by Michel, Willy and Kenneth, I invite you to check out also our big Fujinon XF wildlife photography survey and other long telephoto primes articles we have previously shared (list below).
Overall, there seems to be a strong wish by the FR-community for longer primes.
But we know the stellar Fujinon XF200mm f/2.0 did not sell well, and hence it’s obvious that Fujifilm is now a bit reluctant to invest further in long lenses.
But keep in mind, the XF200mmF2.0 comes with a 1.4x teleconverter designed specifically for this lens, which transforms the XF200mmF2 lens basically in a 280mmF2.8 lens. So, with 1 single lens, here is what you get:
If you want to, you can check out our previous “long telephoto primes” related articles.
I also got many wishes regarding future cameras, but since this roundup is already hefty enough, I will share the “camera-wishlist” at a later point.

Ok, let’s rock it!
According to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm X-T3 successor will start shipping in March/early spring.
This comes surprising, as if we take a look at the complete Fujifilm X cameras release timeline, if Fujifilm would have kept their usual X-T refresh-pace, it should have come around September 2020.
But this time Fujifilm decided to anticipate the release by half a year, replacing the glorious Fujifilm X-T3 just 1.5 years later.
Now, I do not know if it will be called Fujifilm X-T4, or Fujifilm X-T5 or Fujifilm X-T3s or whatever. What I know, is that it will ship very soon.
Oh, it’s from trusted sources, so you are not allowed to doubt this rumor, but you are allowed to share the good news… and of course quote and link FujiRumors as the source, don’t “forget” that ;).
And stay tuned… as more is coming soon on FujiRumors only, of course.
Don’t forget also…
