As for reviews, we have already shared a first roundup that includes the review of Jonas Rask in this article. A few more can be found below, including the review of that guy, who declared FujiRumors the best rumor website of all out there. If you want to find out which are the best and worst website according to him, check out this article.
According to our sources, Fujifilm has moved the announcement of the upcoming affordable GF zoom lens from the first half 2021 to the second half 2021. Don’t worry, it won’t be delayed further to 2022. It will 100% arrive within 2021.
I don’t know if this delay is related to the shortage of parts announced by Fujifilm. Anyway, I thought it was worth to keep you up to date with the latest developments.
Anyway, it makes little difference to the substance of that rumor, which is that it will beĀ Fuji’s most affordable G mount lens and come soon.
Maybe it’s my bad English, maybe it’s the hurry with which some readers read the articles, maybe it’s a bit of both, but somehow over the last few days the idea spread over the web, that FujiRumors claimed that the Fujifilm X-E4 would be the last camera to feature an X-Trans sensor.
Well, that’s not really what I said (or wanted to say).
What I said is that the Fujifilm X-E4 will be the last X-Trans IV camera and that Fujifilm’s next camera, the Fujifilm X-H2, will have a new sensor. No more and no less than that.
Will it still be X-Trans? Or Bayer? Or anything else?
Well guys, keep trust that FujiRumors will let you know the answer at some point ;).
But until then, I’d love to hear from you guys, which one you consider better overall, Bayer or X-Trans.
If you need something to make up your mind about this very Fuji-centric dilemma, feel free to check out the article I wrote in 2018, where I explain the Pros and Cons of sticking with X-Trans or switching to Bayer.
So, what Nokishita tells you is 100% accurate. I mean, that’s really what the FCC registration says and as usual Nokishita makes a hell of job when it comes to spotting registrations.
But here is the thing.
While Nokishita reports accurately that the marketing material is currently scheduled for August 27 release at the FCC, it is also true that this is not the date for the Fujifilm GFX50SMKII annoucement.
So guys, on August 27 you can:
get badly drunk with friends for an end-of-pandemic party
bring out your better half to an elegant dinner (and in that occasion explain her/him why you really need that new lens)
do whatever makes you happy
You won’t miss any Fujifilm annoucement on August 27.
The date for the Fujifilm GFX50S announcement will be a different one (if Fuji keeps the date fixed this time, as it keeps changing). Once it’s final, I’ll let you know.
For the rest of the specs, some of them might come surprising to you (at least they were for me), all you need to do is to follow FujiRumors.
