Which Sensor Would You Like on the Fujifilm X-Pro4, X100V Successor, X-E5 and X-T40 – VOTE NOW

Ok, today it’s my birthday, and I have to apologise to you.

Because, remember when I asked which sensor you’d like Fujifilm to use in future cameras, if the 40MP sensor or the 26MP stacked sensor?

Well, forget about it, and sorry that I wasted your time.

Because Fujifilm managers recently told us that they still see a future in the 26MP X-Trans IV sensor. And also our rumors about the Fujifilm X-S20 featuring the 26MP X-Trans IV sensor confirm that at least one more camera, the X-S20, will get that sensor.

So this kind of requires me to ask for your kindness and time again, and to let you again vote on the survey. But this time I’ll include the option of the X-Trans IV sensor.

Only one camera will get an additional option: the Fujifilm X-Pro4. Because, as I told you recently, I think Fujifilm will continue to experiment with that camera line; experiments that could include also a different type of sensor. But to be clear: it’s all just speculation from my side, not a rumor. Just to be clear and avoid misunderstandings.

So, down below you can vote your favourite sensor for each camera again.

Also, in the video I made today will share what my favourite sensor would be for each camera.

RUMOR: Fujifilm GFX100 Replacement is Next GFX Camera coming in 2023 (Trusted Source)

The Rumor

Many asked me if a new Fujifilm GFX camera would come in 2023.

Well, yes, definitely!

In fact, trusted sources (THANKS) told us that the next Fujifilm GFX camera to come will be the replacement to the Fujifilm GFX100.

So, not the replacement to GFX100S, or the GFX50R or anything else. What we will get is the successor to the Fujifilm GFX100.

That’s 100% sure and solid!

You know I’d never trick you with fake rumors to make traffic. I simply respect you guys too much to do that.

The GFX100

The Fujifilm GFX100 was launched back in 2019 and it was definitely revolutionary for its time, with a backside illuminated 102 megapixel sensor and IBIS, giving medium format speed and flexibility unseen until then in the digital medium format world.

I did go hands on with the Fujifilm GFX100, but these are the three main reasons I did not buy it:

  1. too expensive
  2. too big
  3. I didn’t find it intuitive to use. I much prefer Fujifilm cameras with dedicated dials or at least dedicated PSAM dial.

Fujifilm fixed all these three issues two years later with the Fujifilm GFX100S, a camera that I now own and enjoy using especially for landscape photography but also to document family life.

Personally I’d have looked more forward to a Fujifilm GFX100S with 5th generation goodness or a GFX100R. But I know also the Fujifilm GFX100 has its loyal fellowship and I am working on all the details.

So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors if you want to know more about it.

Fujifilm X-Pro4 Fantasies – Your Dreams Here!

When I shared my video (and partially rant) about the Fujifilm X-E4 being discontinued and what that could mean for the Fujifilm X-E line going forward, I quickly mentioned in that video that I believe one line Fujifilm will never drop is the Fujifilm X-Pro line.

Why?

Because the X-Pro line is a very prestigious line for Fujifilm. It was Fujifilm’s first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera and as such it is symbolically very important for Fujifilm.

Sure, Fujifilm won’t refresh it as often as they do with other lines, but it will continue (in my opinion).

But I said something else in the video.

I said that the Fujifilm X-Pro line will become a more “experimental” line for Fujifilm, and we can see that happening already now with the hidden LCD of the Fujifilm X-Pro3.

And you know what? I am good with it.

The Fujifilm X-Pro is a niche camera and I find it OK if the they try niche stuff with it.

So assuming Fujifilm will continue to experiment around with that line, what would you like to get with the Fujifilm X-Pro4?

An X-Pan X-Pro? Or maybe a monochrome X-Pro? Or why not get rid of the LCD entirely? Or keep the LCD, but put a stacked sensor in it and get rid of the mechanical shutter instead? Any other ideas?

Feel free to drop your wish in the comments. I might collect them in future and make a survey out it.

Viltrox AF 27mm f/1.2 XF with PRO Badge Coming Soon

We recently reported that Viltrox has officially teased the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 for Fujifilm X coming soon.

Now, according to information leaked overseas, the Viltrox 27mm f/1.2 will get the “PRO” badge, so we can expect it to be optically on the higher end as the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2 Pro for Fujifilm X mount.

This does not come really surprising, given the same fast aperture, but never give anything for granted ;).

MARK THIS DATE: Fujifilm X Summit on May 24

Still today, the official position of Fujifilm is that there will be an X summit in April.

But if you follow FujiRumors, you’ll know that the X Summit in April has been canceled and that there will be an X summit in May.

I have no idea why Fujifilm is not correcting the date, but you have to trust me on this.

Today we can also tell you the exact date of the announcement: the next Fujifilm X Summit will take place on May 24.

This comes from trusted sources, so I have no doubts that the date is accurate. Unless Fujifilm decides to cancel it again.
