A Look into 2025 Fujifilm Rumors (and Beyond) and the Ultimate 2024 Rumor Check

Rumor 2025+ Overview with Rating

Time to check how accurate our rumors were in 2024 and get an outlook on the remaining rumors for 2025 (and beyond) with reliability ranking.

As usual, I will be brutal and merciless in my rumor accuracy rating.

How brutal?

Well, here are two examples.

I told you the X100VI would be basically same in size of X100V despite having IBIS. The difference is 1mm. Well, turns out it is 2mm thicker. So while it is substantially an accurate rumor, I list it as wrong.

Also, we misunderstood a source regarding the X100VI silver color. We needed only 3 hours to clarify this misunderstanding and correct it. But still, for 3 hours only, an inaccurate info was online.

WIth that said, here is how things went:

  • 99 rumors shared in 2024
  • 24 rumors still to be verified
  • 72 correct rumors out of 75 verifiable rumors
  • 3 wrong rumors (normal people would say 1 wrong rumor -not about Fujifilm-, but I am brutal to myself)
  • 96% correct rumors

The Remainng Rumors for 2025 and Beyond

Did FujiRumors get it right?

I am surprised to see such a high interest for the Fujifilm X-M5.

A bit less surprising is to see film simulation content on the top of the ranking, especially with Classic Cuban Neg, which has quickly become a Fujifilm users favorite.

This article of 2022 still gets great views, too.

I hope you enjoyed checking out FujiRumors in 2024. And if you want, stick around also in 2025, because I have the feeling it could be a very interesting year.

Love you guys!

Brightin Star Teases New AF Lens for January 6: Just Another Redundant and Uninspiring Chinese Lens?

Brightin Star is teasing a new autofocus lens to come on January 6, 2025 on their Chinese Weibo account here.

Will it be yet another redundant 23/35/50mm lens without aperture ring? Just another DJ Optical re-branded lens (like TTArtisan, 7Artisans & Co).

So, will it be just more of the same?

Of will they come up with something new, original and at least something with an aperture ring?

My guess is that it will be just more of the same. But I want to start 2025 with a glimmer of hope, so I cross fingers that it has at least an aperture ring.

The Fujifilm GFX100RF Revives Retro with Bold New Features

They told you Fujifilm lost its soul.

They told you Fujifilm bend to the will of mass market and focused on making cameras with PSAM dials.

They told you they were neglecting or even giving up on manual controls.

And then comes the Fujifilm GFX100RF, which ends all this.

Why?

Because not only it will very likely not have a PSAM dial (speculation, not rumor), but it will come with more manual controls than ever:

So you see: not only Fujifilm did not give up on retro and manual controls, but they are actively looking into solution to implement even more manual controls than ever before on their cameras.

And remember, there is also the Fujfilm X-E5 coming in summer 2025, which is definitely not a PSAM mainstream mass-market camera a la Sony, Canon or Nikon.

Dear Retro and Manual Control Lovers: there is a lot to look forward for us in 2025 ;).

And there is also the X-Pro line, which will continue for sure, and even more niche products like the Fujifilm TX-3 digital panorama camera.

Tell me another brand that goes so radical with retro, manual controls and niche products like Fujifilm.
