The Fujifilm X Summit on May 24 (at 5 AM New York Time) is approaching, and it’s going to be a lot of fun for sure.
And now we can say that, in addition to the Fujifilm X-S20, Fujifilm will also launch the Fujinon XF8mmF3.5 R WR on May 24.
FujiRumors has already leaked the images of the Fujinon XF8mmF3.5 back in early April.
We will cover the X Summit on FujiRumors.
There will be a new king in the Fujifilm X world when it comes to subject tracking smartness, and it will be the Fujifilm X-S20 (which is coming on May 24).
Why?
Because the Fujifilm X-S20 will have an extended automatic subject/scene detection mode compared to the one already available on the Fujifilm X-S10.
Let me explain.
When you rotate the mode dial of the Fujifilm X-S10 to AUTO, the X-S10 will automatically recognize the scene (landscape, macro, night, sunset, sky, etc) and adjust camera settings accordingly. And I believe it even sets the film simulation automatically based on which one it thinks would work best for that scene.
I hear you: unless you are a beginner who just switched to a real camera from a smartphone, you can live happily also without this feature.
But the thing is that the Fujifilm X-S20 will bring this AUTO switch to the next level.
The Fujifilm X-S20 will be capable to track all the subjects that the Fujifilm X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2S can already track:
The difference?
On the X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2S, every time you want to track a different subject, you have to go into the menu and select the subject you want to track (car, bird, animal, etc). And if you want to track a person, you have to disable subject tracking and enable face/eye tracking.
But that’s not how it works on the Fujifilm X-S20.
In fact, the Fujifilm X-S20 will be capable to track it all automatically. It will simply recognize what’s in your frame (a child, a dog, a bird, etc) and start tracking it without any need for you to go into the menu and make specific selections.
The automatic subject detection is actually something that fellow Fujifilm X shooters requested since the X-H2S was launched and I am happy to see that Fujifilm figured it out and will soon offer it on the Fujifilm X-S20.
Of course my hope now is that Fujifilm will release a firmware update that will bring this tracking smartness also to the Fujifilm X-T5, X-H2 and X-H2S.
I mean, it would evade any logic if the base model X-S20 would have this feature but higher end Fujifilm models not.
A firmware update urges. Thank you Fujifilm.

When I started sharing videos on YouTube, many viewers said they loved the views they were getting from my apartment and asked me to unveil the name of this beautiful town.
So today I’ll do just that: welcome to… watch the video above to find out.
And watch until the end, so you don’t get shocked by that MEGA-PINT in the thumbnail ;).
And don’t worry, that was it already… after this one, we will get back to normal rumor business as usual ;)
And btw… after I started doing these videos, my wife kind of wanted to try out something herself. Down below are two of her cooking videos:
And look, she is Vietnamese (as you know from when I told you the story of how this $3 accessory saved my Fujifilm X-T5). And we know how amazing Vietnamese food is.
So make sure to drop her a comment and ask her to make videos about Vietnamese food, too, if you want to try to cook it yourself. And of course, subscribe to know when it will go online.
Yes I know, I am blessed: I live in the country with some of the best food in Europe (Italy) and I married a woman who comes from a country with some of the best food in Asia (Vietnam).
Back in February, Cosina announced the development of the Voigtländer Ultron 27mm f/2 for Fujifilm X.
Well, we now know thanks to Nokishita that it will be released in June 2023, as reported by the Japanese website asobinet via 5ch.
