We recently reported about the upcoming price increase on Fujifilm film.
Now Fujifilm has made it official and published a press release you can read down below.
Down below the currently available Fujifilm film stock and the press release.
Photons to Photos has published its Fujifilm X-T4 dynamic range measurement data.
The Fujifilm X-T4 basically performs identical to the X-T3. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 seems to be superior, but as Blill Claff from PTP explained to us:
The X-Pro3 appears to have improved PDR but it is an illusion.
It’s well known that Fuji implements the ISO setting in an unusual way.
In this case they have given ISO 320 to ISO 12800 an addition 1 stop boost.Fuji uses a proprietary Exif tag called “Raw Exposure Bias” to indicate how much they have shifted the raw data from “standard”.
Adjusted in Excel for Raw Exposure Bias we see that the X-Pro3 and X-T3 are essentially identical. (They shift to dual conversion gain at a slightly different point).

Since Fujifilm opened its lens protocols to third party manufacturers, lots have happened rather quickly in terms of autofocus lenses for the X system.
So today I decided to dedicate a roundup to the latest X mount autofocus additions to the system, the Samyang 12mm f/2.0 AF and the Sigma X mount trinity.
Overall I can say that none can match the very latest releases coming from Fujifilm (with the XF56mmF1.2 getting an overall performance boost in 2022, too).
But it is also true that price matters and the new third party AF lenses definitely offer a fine performance for the price.
When we told you about the Fujifilm X-H2 coming with a 26 megapixel sensor, most of us speculated that it would be the current 26 MP X-Trans IV sensor, but used in combination with a new processor it would perform better.
And I get it, I also thought this could be an option, especially considering that Fujifilm did the exact same thing with the Fujifilm GFX50SII: use the old sensor but a new processor to improve performance.
But if you read again the article I wrote last year in regards to this rumor, I literally also wrote:
It would be very atypical for Fujifilm to launch in one year (2022) two completely new higher-end APS-C sensors. But just because Fujifilm never did it before, it does not mean it can’t happen with the Fujifilm X-H2.
And according to our sources this is exactly what is going to happen.
In fact, I have been told the the 26MP sensor on the Fujifilm X-H2 will be a “new sensor”.
And remember, there will be also a 40MP Fujifilm X-H2, and that one is (obviously) new, too.
I have no doubts my sources are 100% accurate, and you should not doubt them either ;).
Just stay tuned on FujiRumors to know more details soon.
It’s going to get very wild with rumors now ;).

The Fujifilm X-T4 in silver and combined with the XF18-55mm is now no longer available at Adorama here.
You can still find this combo at BHphoto here and AmazonUS here.
So what is going on?
Well, maybe it is about to suffer the same faith of the silver Fujifilm X-T3, which is no longer produced in silver.
And to be clear: this does not mean that Fujifilm is discontinuing the Fujifilm X-T4 and that a Fujifilm X-T5 is coming in May at the Fujifilm X Summit (I mean, I don’t know if it is coming in May. So far I only hear of the Fujifilm X-H2 coming in May).
So, don’t panic. The Fujifilm X-T4 is still being manufactured. But if you prefer the silver version, maybe it might be a good thing to buy it sooner rather than later. I expect the first silver kit versions to slowly run out of stock and being discontinued in the next few weeks over several stores.
A move that aligns Fujifilm with other brands, who in most cases don’t offer color variations in their mid and higher end camera range.
