In fact, according to our trusted sources, Fujifilm will announce also the Fujifilm X-T50 and the new kit lens, the XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8, at the X Summit on May 16.
And when FujiRumors started to share the first Fujifilm GFX100SII rumors, suddenly “rumors” about the GFX100SII started to appear pretty much everywhere.
One of them was shared here, and it was given to us 100% rocksolid. The rumor said the Fujifilm GFX100SII will certainly have a retro layout like the X-T5.
Of course I was super excited about it and at the same time hopeful that our sources would confirm it.
Well, now our sources have spoken. Trusted sources. And here is what they have to say about.
Don’t get me wrong: PSAM cameras are easy and fast to operate. Nobody denies that. And I can live happily with my PSAM styled GFX100S cameras. It would just be even more fun (and better looking) if it would have retro dials.
Then let’s start with the Fujifilm X-T50, which will have:
IBIS
40 Megapixel X-Trans V sensor
Guys, this is just the very beginning. Because I am working on a lot more. And I am working on A LOT of stuff that goes way beyond the near future. You will want to know about it as soon as it goes online, so definitely follow us.

On the Chinese Weibo platform the first image of the Fujifilm X-T30II successor has leaked.
We know since a over a month now that it will be called Fujifilm X-T50, and I guess that, if this image is legit, then this kind of confirms our rumor.
does Fujifilm prefer to give the GFX100SII a dedicated launch day, and make a separate announcement for the X-T50 and the new kit lens?
did I share a wrong rumor?
Well… don’t worry. We don’t share wrong rumors here. Everything will happen as we tell you it will.
But I will contact our sources and see what they have to say about it. And as soon as I can I will share an update here on FujiRumors.
And beyond that?
Well, the only gear Fujifilm has pre-announced, is the Fujinon GF500mmF5.6, but that one is listed on the official G mount roadmap as coming sometimes in 2024. So it could be on May 16, but also later on.
Well, I am growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of a new X mount roadmap. I keep asking for a new one since years and Fujifilm keeps ignoring our wishes. So at this point I have no expectations anymore.
Anyway… answers will come. Some of them on May 16, but many other answers will come well before that.
