New Firmware for Fujifilm X100F and X-T20 Coming in Autumn, 2017

Happy Monday, fellow X and G Shooters!

Let’s start the week with a rumor, but take this one with an extra grain of salt, because it’s not only a quite long term rumor, but also a firmware rumor.

With that said, here is what I’ve just heard.

According to a source, right in the past, Fujifilm is planing a firmware update for Fujifilm X100F and Fujifilm X-T20 in autumn 2017.

I have no indication about what it will bring. I doubt it will be huge firmware update, like the one the X-T2 recently got, but it could definitely be a “Kaizen light” firmware update.

I’ll investiagte this, and update you guys as soon as I hear something new. So stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

And I remind you that Fujifilm announced firmware updates for Fujifilm GFX, X-T2 and X-Pro2 in late May.

UPDATE: Fujifilm Canada Price Adjustment Coming May 15, 2017. Fujifilm GFX Not Affected

Just recently we shared here on FujiRumors, that Fujifilm Canada announced with this letter sent on March 15, that they will raise prices on Fuji gear starting from May 1.

Well, I now have an update for you.

According to two sources (including a fellow GFX facebook member who talked to Aden Camera – see here), the price increase for Fuji gear has been postponed to May 15.

Moreover, it should affect “only” Fuji X gear and not the GFX.

I know this will hardly mitigate the pain for the further price increase (IIRC, there was already one last year in Canada – and also in EU), but, if the rumors are correct, you might have at least two more weeks to get the X-gear your want for a cheaper price.

Check out the current price of Fuji X cameras at AmazonCA and Fuji XF lenses at AmazonCA.

Fujifilm X-E3 Poll Results

 

Guest Post by FXF member Jano

Dear fellow Fuji shooters,

thanks a lot for your participation in the poll that I created! Thank you also for all the encouraging comments I got. Thank you Patrick for publishing it on FujiRumors and thereby allowing the poll to reach 2,000 people who took the time to participate. I’m sorry that it took so long to publish the results. The idiotic way that Google Forms formats the data cost me a lot of time and my sons were sick a lot lately so I got way less time to work on it than I had hoped. And when I was almost done my computer broke and it took me even more time to get it back up and running. Great…

To begin let me address some criticism I received.

First Image (and Video) of X-Mount Fujinon MK 18-55 mounted on Fujifilm X-T2 (Prototype) + Interview With Fujifilm Manager

Fujinon MK 18-55 T2.9 Fuji X-mount – Newsshooter at NAB 2017 from Newsshooter on Vimeo.

Fujifilm already said in this official press release, that the X-mount versions of the MK18-55mm T2.9 and MK50-130mm T2.9 will come in late 2017.

An anonymous source now send me the first image of a MK18-55mm T2.9 X-mount prototype mounted on the Fujifilm X-T2 (thanks a lot).

If you want to see, how Fujifilm’s MK lenses are manufactured (and also other X-mount lenses and cameras), feel free to check out this article about the Fujifilm factory tour.

UPDATE: Interview with Fujifilm Manager about the MK lenses. They talk about and show also the Fujifilm X-mount version. The manager says that the price can’t be very different from the E-mount version and that they try to come out with X-mount version within this year (2017). More at newsshooter (thanks to the FR-reader for sharing the link in the comments).

Fujifilm’s Ultimate X-series Camera Will Have a New X-Trans Sensor

Hey guys….

I know, it’s Monday… so let’s try to make the start in the working-week a bit more pleasing, by sharing a nice rumor :)

First off, working on a rumor has rarely been so complicated like it is with the ultimate X. But I’m trying to connect the dots, and to get a clear picture of what Fujifilm is doing (and changing)… a very fun and exctiting part of my rumor work :)

Connecting dot after dot, the Ultimate X is slowly taking shape.

The source, who told us about the 2,000/3,000 price tag, gave me one more hint: the ultimate X will feature a new APS-C X-Trans Sensor.

However, trusted sources I speak to in these days, want me to make clear that the camera is still in an early development stage, so Fujifilm can change everything anytime.

So they invite us all to take it with a grain of salt.

With that said, I know what question now pops in your mind: will it have a stacked CMOS sensor we find in the Sony A9 for super fast sensor readout?

I don’t know it yet, but I had a talk with Andrea from SonyAlphaRumors, who is definitely the best source when it comes to Sony Rumors.

I asked Andrea from SAR if Sony plans a stacked APS-C CMOS sensor. He currently has no real strong rumor about it, but his personal guess based on initial whispers and speculations is that a stacked ASP-C sensor, also for the Ultimate X, could definitely be a possibility (I have permission to share this here on FR).

It’s still a long way to the ultimate X… feel free to join me on this journey also via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter

stay tuned guys… ;)
