A few months ago, we estimated—based on Fujifilm’s historical sensor/processor refresh cycles—that the next sensor generation would likely arrive in late 2025 or early 2026.
To be clear, that wasn’t a rumor, just a data-driven speculation.
Following that article, some speculated that November 2025 could be the right moment, since Fujifilm has historically launched some of its most important cameras in that month (such as the X-T5).
But today I can confirm: the 6th generation platform will not be launched in 2025. So you can now rule out “late 2025” as a possibility.
That also means we won’t see the Fujifilm X-T6, X-Pro4 (or X-Pro5, X-Pro6), X-H3, X-H3S, X-T60, X-E6, X100VII, GFX100III, GFX100SIII, or GFX100RFII this year.
And yes, I know plenty of supposed “spec leaks” about these cameras are floating around—but they’re all fake, as we explained here.
Bottom line: it’s all AI-generated nonsense, stuffed with random specs. Every day there’s a new “upcoming” Fujifilm camera announcement.
Some of these videos gather tons of views and lots of comments, so I want to stress it once more: it’s fake.
And yes, I sometimes feel like a lonely Don Quixote, tilting at the windmills of fake rumors with little hope (illusion) of winning this battle. But what matters is staying true to yourself and bring excitement in the Fujifilm community only when it is real, verified, and worth celebrating. So I’ll leave the fake rumors to others. Shall they boost their traffic and make money by misleading people with all sorts of fake rumors. We’ll stay out of this game.
Anyway, the wait for the Fujifilm X-T6 and friends might be a bit longer than we’d like, but it’s much easier to stay patient when you’ve got the ultra-awesome Fujifilm X-E5 in your hands ;)
