Fujifilm will NOT Announce any New X/GFX Gear on August 13

A dpr forum member has been told by a camera store owner that a Fujifilm sales person told them there will be a big Fujifilm release on August 13.

The dpr member writes:

Today I was in a local camera store and one of the salespeople said they were told a “big” Fujifilm release would be announced on 13th August, but didn’t have any more information.

The rumor is now spreading quickly, and I hate to be the one, who destroys your excitement.

But all I can tell you is that no X/GFX gear will be announced on August 13.

Release Timeline for Fujifilm X-T4, X-H2, X-T40, X-Pro3, X100V, X-E4, X-T200 and X-A6 Based on Fuji’s Previous Camera Releases

Fujifilm Timeline

Almost 1 year ago, I published a release timeline of Fujifilm cameras, and, based on that timeline, I made guesses on when a successor could come.

Turns out that, so far, our timeline was pretty accurate. In fact, based on Fuji’s release schedule, we predicted:

  • Prediction: X-T30 in February 2019 – Reality: January 2019 – Accuracy: 1 month off
  • Prediction: X-Pro3 in January 202o – Reality: around October 2019 – Accuracy: about 3 months off

Now I thought it’s time to update our timeline, because:

  • some cameras have already been announced (X-T30) and others will be announced soon (X-Pro3)
  • this time we include cameras not listed last time (X-T200 and X-A6)

Down below you find the updated release timeline for:

The X-T4/X-H2 Grain of Salt Corner

Keep in mind that this camera replacement timeline is NOT based ON RUMORS, but on past camera release schedule of Fujifilm.

Hence, take it with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-T4 release. The timing between X-H1 and X-T3 has proven to be very damaging for X-H1 sales, so there might be some changes here.

In fact, according to our sources, the Fujifilm X-H2 might not even come in 2020! But I want to wait for more details and confirmations, before changing the below timeline.

Speaking of X-H2 and X-T4, the FujiRumors community has voted on various Fujifilm X-H2 and X-T4 release timing options. Check out the poll results here (I voted for the option currently on the 3rd position).

Fujifilm Patents Touch Sensitive Top Dial with Adjustable Settings Control

Fujifilm has patented a touch sensitive top dial, that, depending on which part of the dial you touch, gives you access to certain settings.

It’s obviously just a patent, hence a concept. But I thought it could be interesting to discuss this solution. Is it something Fujifilm should go ahead with?

Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D for Fujifilm GFX Coming Very Soon: Widest Fujifilm G Mount Lens Takes 86mm Screw Fitler

Venus Optics officially launched the Laowa 17mm f/4 back at Photokina 2018.

After several delays, the lens is now ready for the final release, which, according to Venus Optics, will happen within the next few days.

Jonas Rask has already teased in his GF50mm first look that he is testing a wide angle lens. So expect to see a first hands on to come from Jonas.

The Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D will be the widest lens for Fujifilm GFX and will take 86mm screw filters, so no need to carry around bigger filter holders systems.
