LEAKED: Fujifilm X-T50 Image
The first image of the Fujifilm X-T50 has now leaked and you can see it above courtesy of the Twitter/X account howtofly here.
Looks really beautiful if you ask me, and I prefer it over the Fujifilm X-T30II.

Trusted sources have passed us the first image of the Fujifilm GFX100S II which you can see below (THANKS A LOT).
I know what you think.
You think: “this looks exactly like the Fujifilm GFX100S“.
But look closer, and you’ll spot an actually quite noticeable difference.
Found it?
The whole GFX100S II camera body is now wrapped in the same Bishamon texture we find on the higher end Fujifilm GFX100 II.
That’s a good news. I loved that texture when I went hands-on with the Fujifilm GFX100II.
As for the rest, the Fujifilm GFX100S II looks pretty much identical to the Fujifilm GFX100S.
The Fujifilm X Summit on May 16 is getting bigger and bigger.
Not only will we get the Fujifilm X-T50, the Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 and the Fujifilm GFX100S II, but according to our sources also the Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6 will be announced on May 16.
And we also have the price for you.
The Fujinon GF500mm f/5.6 will cost €3,899 in Europe. So far I have no indication about the price in US Dollar.
Shocked?
Well, that’s actually a bargain compared to what other brands charge for equivalent lenses.

A Hello Kitty Fujifilm X100VI?
Well, Fujifilm has given us Hello Kitty Fujifilm camera in the past. :)
But don’t panic. As far as I know Fujifilm has no plans to launch such a version. But maybe you can ask fellow FR-reader Christian about it, since he shared it in the comments on FR here. But until I don’t hold this Hello Kitty thing in my own hands, I will trust this is a rendering
The true undertaking by Fujifilm is not launching new X100VI special versions, but deliver the regular ones that are on order and people are waiting for.
And if you are waiting for your copy too, here is a roundup for you.
Lots is covered. From the comprehensive review made by Pal2Tech to the take of PetaPixel and the Northrups on the X100VI, an in-depth review of Gordon from Cameralabs and also some channels that are currently smaller, but do a great service to the Fujifilm community, such as the one of Luca Petralia.
In the first video shared below, The Hybrid Shooter looks at the resolving power of the 40MP X100VI over the 26MP X100V. His conclusion: there is definitely a sharpness boost and added crop capability. So if sharper images and more cropping power is what you want, then the X100VI will do the job.
So we just leaked the price of the upcoming Fujifilm GFX100SII.
Now the question to answer is: what’s the best pick at this point?
This is a tough one to answer.
I mean, I am a very happy owner of the Fujifilm GFX100S myself, and my heart would say the GFX100S is never a bad pick, especially not at this price.
But Fujifilm really smashed the price on that model with the GFX100SII, bringing it dangerously close to the one its now heavily discounted predecessor.
It’s probably best to go for the GFX100SII at this point over the GFX100S.
Things change of course if we throw the Fujifilm GFX100II in the mix. Of course that one costs more, but it is also the flagship and it will beat the new GFX100SII in terms of specs and features.
Personally, if budget was not of concern, I’d go for the Fujifilm GFX100II right away.
But since budget is something most of us take into consideration, if I had no GFX camera and wanted to jump into digital medium format, I’d very likely wait go for the Fujifilm GFX100SII.
Why?
It’s part of Fuji’s 5th generation family, hence we can expect it to get more firmware love over the years. And it will have Reala Ace, better autofocus and many other good stuff that comes with the 5th generation platform.
Things would drastically change though if Fujifilm were to offer the GFX100S at $3,000. At this point it would be a deal too good to be true, and quite frankly a price where also plenty of full frame camera makers would start to worry.
I mean, 100 megapixel medium format in a camera body that is even slightly smaller than some full frame mirrorless cameras out there such as this one, would become a serious temptation for many out there. And it would also be my pick as a first GFX camera.
But as it stands now, I recommend to buy the Fujifilm GFX100SII or, if budget allows for it, go straight for the GFX100II.
Anyway… let us know in the survey below what your top pick would be.
