Do We Need the Fujifilm X-T2S? :: Is Fuji the New “Old” Leica? :: Best Low Light Fuji Cameras :: Wildlife Photography with X-T2 (miXed zone)

Share

Fellow Fuji X and G shooters,

I really get a terrific amount of emails with requests to be featured on FujiRumors and I want to make everybody happy.

So I have decided to share more miXed zones than we were used in the past. This will allow me to keep roundups smaller (less links) and give you guys an overall better reading experience (I hope).

Also, I’m trying to organize miXed zones in a way that it makes sense, which is why lenses, GFX, X100F and occasionally also RAW converters, accessories and more get a a dedicated roundup.

The new way I orgnize miXed zones also means it might occasionally take a little bit longer before your blog will be featured on FR, but on the other hand, having them better organized will allow you to get a better visibility.

It is a huge amount of work for me, but I’m happy to invest my time to feature you all in the best way possible and to improve your reading experience.

As usual, I’m thankful for feedback… I really try to do my best, and in case you have suggestions, they are always welcome.

Japanese Rumors Confirm Fujifilm X-E3, XF80mm and GF45mm… Whatever Happens Sep.7, Follow FR, and Be the FIRST to Know it :)

Share

The Japanese rumor site nokishita confirmed on Twitter here, that “next week” Fujifilm will launch:

  • Fujifilm X-E3
  • Fujinon GF 45mm
  • Fujinon XF80mm Macro

But I have strong indications that, on the same day, Fujifilm will also:

  • update the lens roadmap
  • announce/release new Kaizen Firmware updates

That’s what we can expect for sure.

Will there be also the X-T2S? Or the X80? Nothing is impossible, but for now I prefer to be careful, and to tell you not to expect more.

September 7… that’s the day… my Mokka will run non stop, and, high on caffeine, I will deliver you guys an exciting live blogging.

Whatever happens… follow Fujirumors, and you will be the first to know it ;) .

What Should Be Fujifilm’s Next Film Simulation? And When Will it Come?

Share

The Next Film Simulation

I get quite regulary emails from readers, asking me what the next film simulation will be and when it will arrive.

I can’t answer these question right now, but we know that Fujifilm is indeed investigating what the next film simulation should be… word of Fujifilm manager here.

So there will be new film simulations. But when will they come?

Usually, Fujifilm introduces new film simulations along with a new sensor and processor. So it’s safe to assume, that we will have to wait for X-Trans IV and X-Processor Pro II to get the next film simulation… and I currently don’t know when this will happen… but not that soon I guess.

So the question today is…. which film simulation should be the next one? Feel free to say it in the comments :)

And if anyone out there knows something I don’t know, feel free to contact me anonymously via rumor box or also via email at fujirumor@gmail.com :)

enjoy your day,
