Fujifilm is doing a lot of things right… but not everything.
So what I want to do today is to highlight 3 errors Fujifilm makes, 1 in the camera division, 1 regarding its lenses and a last one in the Instax world.
You might argue that this is just my opinion, and that’s correct… but also consider this:
Working everyday for such a large Fujifilm community here on FujiRumors, hence reading an average of 124 comments a day as well as a countless number of emails and personal messages on our social media, gives me a privileged insight of what are the needs and wishes that circulate amongst Fujifilm lovers.
So here are 3 errors I am sure will find a good number of you guys agree with me.
Confused by all the rumors? Then let’s put some order into the big buzz :)
So first I’ll give you an accurate timeline and then, down below, the detailed rumors with reliabily rating and working link to every single rumor.
Also consider…. we are working on Fujifilm X-Pro3, X200 and all other rumors, but we will share only once we have something more reliable in our hands. Hence, don’t panic if you don’t see your dream camera listed below. It does not necessarily mean it won’t come, but only that for now we have no solid rumor about it share.
Don’t forget, FujiRumors is EVERYWHERE :) Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter
Just a few days ago, we told you that the XF8-16 and XF200 will be announced in July.
Well, according to our trusted sources that’s not all Fujifilm will give us in July.
In fact, I have it now confirmed, that Fujifilm is going to release an updated lens roadmap, too.
*** REMINDER: 100% confirmed XF10 announcement on July 19 ***
Now, do you remember when back in February 2017 I asked you which lenses you would like next from Fujifilm?
Well, here is what happened after I asked you suggestions:
So we ended up with out top 6 lenses overall, as well as the top 3 primes and top 3 zooms.
It was a terrific work not only for me, but also for you guys, since you invested lots of time to discuss, recommend, argue, in order to help me to make the best list possible.
And now all we can do is hope… hope that Fujifilm listens.
So which are actually the most wanted lenses by the Fujifilm community? The answer is… here!
Huge things are happening soon… very soon… make sure follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed, Instagram, Youtube and Twitter to stay up to date.

have a fantastic day
On May 26, the Australian store CameraPro will offer a full day event packed with workshops, presentations and hands-on activities and more. If you want to join, check out their eventbrite page here.
In the event description they also write:
Bonus Sessions: A unique photo opportunity and an exclusive first touch and try of a yet to be announced Fuji release will be added in the coming weeks.
Thanks to Tony White from ozlightphoto.com.au for sharing this tidbit with us :) .
So within May 26, we will get a new Fuji gear… but what?
Here on FujiRumors we have rumored the core specs of the Fujifilm X-T3, we talked a lot about the Fujifilm GFX 50R, we even looked far ahead to the Fujifilm GFX 100S, but the most rumored camera at the moment (and hence probably the closest to come) is the Fujifilm X-T100… so let’s talk about it :).
We shared the first rumors about the Fujifilm X-T100 back in September 2017. Over the following weeks and months, FujiRumors has shared braking specs of Fujifilm X-T100.
Here are the main specs again for you guys:
The goal of the Fujifilm X-T100 is to close the gap between the EVF-less Fujifilm X-A5 and Fuji’s mid-range X-Trans cameras like the Fujifilm X-T20 and Fujifilm X-E3.
The direct competitors of the Fujifilm X-T100 are cameras like the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II and the Sony A6000.
Soon Fujifilm will also launch the Instax SQ6, which has already completely leaked here.
Here on FujiRumors we shared the first real life images already back in March 17, 2017 here, so well over a year ago.
The Instax SQ6 is basically the film-only version of the hybrid Instax Square SQ10 and it will take the Instax Square Film.
Of course there could be surprises. Maybe some lenses, such as the XF8-16mmF2.8? Or the XF200mmF2? For sure the X70 successor will NOT come in May.
I will work on it now and let you guys now if I can find out something. So make sure to follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.
Till then… you can dream freely in the comments :).

I gave my 6yo my old 5d classic for our road trip last week. He took 1200 photos. I think I took almost as many of him with the camera up to his eye. #prouddaddy
