SUSPENDED: Fujifilm Removes Latest XF16-55mmF2.8 Firmware and Promises Emergency Update

A couple of days ago Fujifilm has released several (also major) firmware updates. And they also promised Kaizen firmware updates coming.

The news today is that the firmware update for the Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR was flawed and has now been suspended from the Fujifilm download page.

Fujifilm is preparing an emergency firmware and FujiRumors will let you know as soon as it goes online.

In Ver. 1.30 released on January 22, 2024, it was confirmed that the exposure of images taken with certain focal length and aperture value combinations became abnormal.
For this reason, the firmware download has been suspended.
We are preparing an emergency firmware for customers who have updated to Ver. 1.30, so please wait for it.

You can access the note about the removed firmware update here.

Hopefully it won’t end up forgotten and suspended forever like the GF50mmF3.5 firmware.

RUMOR: Fujifilm X100VI only 1 Millimeter Thicker than X100V

I already told you that the Fujifilm X100VI would have basically the same size of the Fujifilm X100V.

The size difference would be so negligible, that it would be noticeable only on paper.

But some FR-readers told me that even just a few millimeters here and there would make a significant difference in terms of perceived size of the camera in the hands.

So, let me be more precise today.

The Fujifilm X100VI will be just 1 millimeter thicker than the X100V.

That’s all: 1 millimeter of difference.

I hope that now you’ll agree that the size difference is really extremely negligible and that we can say the X100VI has basically the same size of the X100V.

Fujifilm X100VI Possible Price Info Leaked

We have received the information (thanks!), that the Fujifilm X100VI will cost $1,599.

This is not yet confirmed by trusted sources, so take it with a grain of salt for now.

This looks like a bargain if you compare it to the second hand price for a Fujifilm X100V.

But if you compare it to the original price tag for the Fujifilm X100V, we notice a $200 price hike. I guess not unexpected, considering that it will have a newer 40MP sensor, a better processor and even IBIS.

Fujifilm X100VI Coming also in Limited Edition

On February 20th, apparently the question will be not only: Fujifilm X100VI silver or Fujifilm X100VI black?

Because according to our sources (thanks!), Fujifilm will launch also a limited edition Fujifilm X100VI.

This is not the first time we got limited edition X100 cameras:

Now, all those limited editions X100 cameras were always launched a while after the release of the standard versions.

However, the fact that our sources have informed us about the limited edition X100VI coming too, might indicate that, for the first time ever, the limited edition X100 could come along with the standard version.

In my opinion, the best limited X100 edition that Fujifilm has launched, was the one of the original X100, which was produced in a limited number of 10,000 samples and shipped with a couple of all-black accessories (you can read what was included here).

Now, I don’t know what Fujifilm is preparing for us this time.

I just hope it’s not a Taylor Swift limited edition Fujifilm camera ;).
