Nokishita spotted that Fujifilm just registered a new camera with the code name FF 180002. They write it is a camera similar in size to the Fujifilm X70:
“The communication module installed in Fujifilm’s unreleased camera passed overseas certification agencies. Is it smaller than X – A5, is it a condenser?
Distance information to the antenna does not include much protrusion because it does not contain protrusions, but assuming it is a box type, the width is about 112.5 mm and the height is about 64.3 mm and it seems to be close to X70 in size.”
Stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter to find out the truth about this camera ;) .
Now it’s confirmed… just as we rumored months ago, the Fujifilm X-T100 will have a new 3 way tilt screen.
The question is, do you want this tilt screen also on the Fujifilm X-T3? You have answered here, and I must say I am surprised.
Nokishita also leaked more X-T100 images that you can find below as well the the price in Yen.
Mass retailer price (tax included): Body 80,460 yen [converted $734], lens kit 94,500 yen [converted $862], double zoom kit 107,460 yen [converted $980]
At Amazon Japan, the Fujifilm X-T20 body costs 81,611 yen ($744) while at yodobashi it costs 91,440 yen ($834)
As we already rumored weeks ago, the Fujifilm X-T100 will be announced tomorrow, May 24. Shipping will start on June 21.
Now nokishita leaked the first image of the X-T100. On their Twitter page they write:
“We confirmed that Fujifilm X-t100 will be available in Japan this week. The color is black, dark silver and champagne gold as well as overseas. Kit is a body lens kit double Zoom kit.”
We see no front dial and no grip at all.
Here on FujiRumors we have the date of the announcement for you guys: May 24.
Yes I know, it might seem strange to write a pro-Kaizen article right after Fujifilm pulled off the massive X-T2 firmware because it was faulty. Fujifilm did earn quite some attacks becasue of this, and some are making fun out of this situation.
So maybe Fujifilm should do it like any other brand: do not offer any major firmware update at all, only mini bug-fix updates, so they will avoid attacks.
Or maybe not… maybe Fujifilm should continue to deliver huge firmware updates for older cameras like they did over the last 6+ years. And in all these years I remember I think 2 or 3 rollback firmware updates overall.
Well, I gladly accept the remote possibility of a buggy firmware, if what I get is years of excellent support for my cameras via firmware update.
And I know that overall, Fuji’s Kaizen approach is applauded by many, and today we would like to feature a video JCristina. He says about Kaizen:
Kaizen Firmware updates makes them stand out from Sony, Canon and Nikon. They don’t just fix things, but they give you more that extend the life of their cameras
Most camera manufacturers want their cameras to be like toilet paper. They want you to use it for a set period of time, throw them in the garbage and they buy another roll
JCristina continues by discussing Fuji’s decision to skip full frame and go directly medium format. Especially the Fujifilm GFX 50R will be a smart move to make Medium Format go mainstream.
They don’t play the full frame war. They have one of the best APS-C cameras on the market, and they went directly Medium Format
The Fujifilm GFX 50R will soon give you a medium format mirrorless option at the price of the Sony A9
Watch Fujifilm, and what happens after photokina, if they rise up to the top with that medium format GFX 50R
The Fujifilm GFX 50R will be announced at photokina at the end September (or shortly before).
The price for the Fujifilm GFX 50R has not yet been set, simply because this is about the last thing Fujifilm decides. Only one thing is sure: it will be significantly more affordable than the Fujifilm GFX 50S.
