Fujifilm X-T4, X-H2 and GFX100II Extended Spectrum Infrared Cameras Appear Inside Official Fujifilm XApp

You might remember how back in 2023, BHphoto shortly listed a Fujifilm X-T4 extended spectrum on their website.

BHphoto later on removed the X-T4 IR saying it is now discontinued.

But now the whole story gets another twist.

A fellow FR-reader looked at the files of the latest Fujifilm XApp and hidden somewhere between the myriad of folders he found the following three cameras listed:

  • Fujifilm X-T4 Extended Spectrum
  • Fujifilm X-H2 Extended Spectrum
  • Fujifilm GFX100 II IR

So, why is Fujifilm putting these cameras inside their Fujifilm XApp? Are they maybe soon going to release special IR versions of them?

It would not be the first time, as we already got the Fujifilm X-T1 IR version once.

I think it would be great idea to breath new life into the Fujifilm X-T4 by launching a dedicated IR camera.

Fujifilm GFX100 II: “A 200,000 Dollar Hollywood Camera in a Mirrorless Body”

Ermia Ramez loves his Fujifilm GFX100II and has shared a very beautiful video in which he says the following

  • Only the Arri Alexa 65 has….

Actually forget about it. Just watch the video, shot on Fujifilm GFX100 II and enjoy it. This guy really put huge effort into it.

Camerasize has added the latest Fujifilm gear to their database (although they call it the XT-50 there, so use that term to make your own comparisons).

I will share three comparisons in this article. You can see them below.

LEAKED: Fujifilm X-T5 and X-S20 Kit Price with XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 and GFX100SII plus GF500mm Price Confirmed

We told you already in September 2023 from a stunning Dolomite mountain peak, that the glorious Fujinon XF18-55mm f/2.8-4 would be replace by a new kit lens, the Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8.

This means it will come not only bundled with the new Fujifilm X-T50, but also with other Fujifilm cameras such as the Fujifilm X-T5 and the Fujifilm X-S20.

And today (THANKS!!!) we can also tell you the price of the bundles as well as confirming the pricing we shared earlier.

  • X-T50 body only = €1,499
  • XF 16-50mmF2.8-4.8 = €799
  • X-T50 + XF16-50 = €1,899
  • X-T50 + XC15-45 = €1,599
  • X-T5 + XF16-50 = €2,399
    X-T5 body only = €1,999
  • X-S20 + XF16-50 = €1,799
    X-S20 body only = €1,399
  • GFX100S II = $4,999 / €5,499
  • GF500mmF5.6 = €3,899

So overall you get the lens for €400 if you buy it bundled with a camera body. The XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 alone will cost €800.

 

Fixed Lens Fujifilm GFX in 2025: A Brilliant Move or a Missed Chance for a GFX100R? – VOTE

So, we just reported that Fujifilm will launch a fixed lens Fujifilm GFX camera in 2025.

And while many might hugely rejoice at this news, others remained a bit sceptical, as you can see for example in the comments here.

Why?

Because we recently reported that Fujifilm is currently spending ZERO money and time into the development of the Fujifilm GFX100R. Which means that even if they’d start today to develop the GFX100R, we would probably not get it before 2027, since Fujifilm explained in the past they need about 2/3 years to develop a camera.

So what some now wonder is: wouldn’t it have been better to develop the GFX100R with interchangeable lenses rather than a fixed lens GFX camera?

Personally I still have to make up my mind about this one.

I mean, if I look at the X series, I simply could not imagine it without the X100 line. And why not, a fixed lens GFX version could also become an iconic and much loved line in the GFX system.

And always looking at the X series line, the X-E line sells much worse than the X100 line. If that would apply also to the GFX series, a fixed lens GFX camera would outsell the GFX100R.

So for now, from a mere business point of view, I believe Fujifilm does well to come out with a fixed lens GFX camera as soon as possible.

But at the same time, as an X-E lover (rangefinder with interchangeable lenses), I’d also love to see the GFX100R.

So my final vote?

I vote fixed lens GFX, just because I think from a business point of view it is the better choice for Fujifilm. But I hope this does not come at the expense of the GFX100R being delayed for too long or even worst, the GFX-R line being canceled.

What Should Have Priority in Your Option: a fixed lens GFX or a GFX100R
