Understanding the Fujifilm X-Pro4 Release Timeline

đŸ”„ BHphoto Mega Deal Zone đŸ”„ – Limited Time

We told you that the Fujifilm X-Pro4 will be coming only sometimes after the Fujifilm X-T6, which will be announced in September 2026.

I don’t have a precise time-frame, but as soon as I know something I will update you here.

But what could be the reason for such a long delay?

Well, Fujifilm certainly is under huge pressure with the X-Pro4.

They said they are aware of the high expectations and they want to make it more than just an upgrade.

It’s also going to be the Fujifilm luxury line, and as such it definitely needs something that sets it apart from every other Fujifilm camera.

Another problem: for many the Fujifilm X-E5 is almost exactly the X-Pro many always wanted: no optical viewfinder, IBIS, premium fee, rangefinder stylel. Basically an X-E/Pro.

Thanks to the X-E5, now the Fujifilm X-Pro4 has to the freedom to experiment and come up with something truly special. But in this freedom there are also lots of choices to be done. And I think it’s these choices that slowed down the release of the Fujifilm X-Pro4.

One choice Fujifilm obviously already did was to wait for the new sensor and processor, which is why we never got a 5th gen X-Pro4.

Then there are open questions on certain design choices.

Should the hidden screen remain (some really love it), or should it go away (as Fujifilm Switzerland seemed to tease)?

And should they maybe also implement some X half features like the multifunctional film-lever?

How can Fujifilm improve the hybrid viewfinder, if it’s still there?

What about implementing the GFX100RF aspect ratio dial or even the super-sleek hidden X-E5 dial, maybe with other functions than on GFX100RF and X-E5?

You know, designing and X-T6, X-H3 or X100VI is pretty straightforward. in terms of camera body, there are not really many relevant choices to make.

But things are different with the X-Pro4. The Fujifilm design team can go much more creative, and I’d argue at this point, with this X-E5 on the market, they also have to. And all these choices, these decisions, need time.

And to be clear: if the X-Pro4 comes shortly after the X-T6, then all these decisions have already been made. But if it takes a bit longer, then Fujifilm might have still some freedom to make certain choices. And in any case, all of this explains why it is taking so long.

So yes, we have to be patient.

But the time Fujifilm is taking shows us that they are thinking it through like never before.

And I believe that the day the X-Pro4 drops, it will truly be something special and it will an iconic camera for many years to come.

Fujifilm X-Pro4 – Rebuilt from the Ground – Wishes and Speculations

The Fujifilm X-Pro4

2 years ago, Luca Petralia made a video in which he expressed his Fujifilm X-Pro4 wishes. Among them, the controversial removal of the hybrid viewfinder.

But for some who wish to get rid of the optical viewfinder, there are others instead who prefer the EVF to get removed in favor a full optical-only viewfinder.

Personally, I think neither the optical nor the electronic viewfinder should be removed.

On the contrary, I hope they’ll both be improved, and early rumors point indeed towards that.

Fujifilm X-T6, X-Pro4, X-H3, X100VII with 46 Megapixel Sensor? – Speculation Based on Fujifilm GFX180

We told you that there will be a Fujifilm GFX180. it won’t happen very  soon, but it will come at some point.

And the Fujifilm GFX180 might even tell us more about the future of the Fujifilm APS-C system and the X-Trans 6 sensor.

Why?

Well, Fujifilm usually uses the same sensor for the X system and GFX system, with the only difference that the GFX sensor is about 4 times bigger.

This means:

  • 26MP APS-C sensor (X-S20 & Co) = 102MP on GFX (GFX100S & Co)

Now, if we were to apply the same logic to the rumored Fujifilm GFX180 sensor, then we would get this

  • 180MP on GFX = about 45.8MP on APS-C

This means that I would not be surprised if the Fujifilm X-T6, but also the Fujifilm X-Pro4, the Fujifilm X-T60, the Fujifilm X-E6, Fujifilm X100VI and the Fujifilm X-H3 would come with a 46 megapixel sensor.

This means a slight increase in resolution for APS-C, which is definitely welcome.

Other questions remain open, with the main one being if it will be a DGO or DCG sensor.

Regarding the “more megapixel are bad for low light photography”, make sure this read this debunking article.

Fujifilm X Shop Vietnam Lists Fujifilm X-Pro4 as “Coming Soon”
 Undermining Their Own Fujifilm X-T6 Specs?

We recently reported that the Vietnamese Fujifilm Shop X Camera listed the Fujifilm X-T6 on its website—along with a set of highly controversial specifications.

However, that same shop also lists the Fujifilm X-Pro4, marking it as “Coming Soon” and attributing it to 5th-generation specs.

And this tells us a lot
 about those listings.

I checked their X-Pro4 page, and it appears to have been online since September 2024.

In addition to that, it shares what are very likely wrong specs, since they say it will come with 5th-generation specifications. I mean, after such a long wait, an X-Pro4 launching with 5th-generation specs would unleash the shitstorm of the century—and FujiRumors would proudly lead it. 😉 So I hope they are wrong on this.

All this strongly suggests that it is nothing more than a placeholder, filled with assumed specs rather than real and final specs.

And if the X-Pro4 page is indeed fabricated, this inevitably means that we should take also their Fujifilm X-T6 listing with a grain of salt.

Anyway, this is what they write on their X-Pro4 product page:
