Fellow FR-readers… welcome to the first rumor of 2024.
And while it might not be the most crucial rumor ever shared, it is one that triggered lots of guesses and speculations on the web: the name of the Fujiiflm X100V successor.
To be clear, I am not saying that everything in this list will come in 2024. Some of it will come for sure, some of it has only been vaguely hinted by Fujifilm managers, and some are just mere wishes and hopes of the FujiRumors community.
To see more in detail which gear will surely come, which maybe, and which one probably not, check out our full Fujifilm 2024 overview article.
In November we have shared quite some rumors (as you can see here). And not only that! In our previous 2024 outlook, we forgot to add gear that Fujifilm has already pre-announced to come in 2024 as well as give you a look into rumored third party AF lenses.
That’s why we need to update our view into the Fujifilm year 2024.
All the X/GFX rumors come from our sources, whereas the speculations are often based on hints and comments that managers gave in interviews.
Long I have thought how to give you this information.
I thought: maybe I should give you some behind the scenes. Explain. Give you some context. So you would understand why I wrote what I wrote a few months ago.
offer you my apology (which I hope you’ll be gracious enough to accept)
share a rumor correction
My apology is offered to you. Now I owe you the rumor correction:
We confirm that the Fujifilm X100V successor will come in early 2024. That’s rocksolid and I will never correct or change that rumor.
But, unlike we told you here, it will not come with a new lens. And that’s not a bad thing at all, considering that that lens has just been updated with the X100V, so it’s definitely a modern lens.
That’s it. I’ve done it.
Oh…
one more thing.
In the recently “leaked” list of Fujifilm gear (that contains many errors), one of the specs listed was that the X100V successor would also have OIS (optical image stabilization). Since the X100V successor will have the same lens of the X100V, this means that it won’t have OIS.
There are still many more corrections to be done to that list. Here are the ones done so far.
