As we reported earlier this month, Fujifilm discovered a bug happening with twelve of their cameras when used with Mac computers.
The first batch of firmware had been released a few days ago here and was for the following cameras: X-T4, X-T3, X-S10, GFX100S, GFX100 and GFX50S.
Now six more Fujifilm cameras received an update. All the links and firmware details can be found down below.
Here is an updated in stock check for the gear Fujifilm announced in North America.
GFX100S
Adorama and Moment had a few samples in stock, but as to expect, they run out quickly. The next one to possibly have a few available should be Amazon, who expects stock by October 20 here.
GF80mmF1.7
It’s available at AmazonUS here, at BHphoto here and at Moment here. Not available at Adorama and Focuscamera.
GFX50SII
It was originally planed to ship by the end of September, but Fujifilm issued an official delivery delay notice for the GFX50SII with GF35-70 kit, so let’s see how this will change things.
So far all stores expect the body only version as well as the kit version to be available on October 21.
GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6
So far stores expect it to ship on November 30. Only Adorama is slightly more optimistic and gives us November 20 as shipping start.
X-E4
Currently available only at BHphoto here (black version).
XF70-300mmF4-5.6
It is back-ordered everywhere. The only time indications we get comes from Moment here, who expects to deliver by November 4.
XF27mmF2.8 R WR
Fujifilm announced it. But they can’t deliver. I consider myself lucky to be able to have grabbed one a few months ago, last sample in stock. Since then, nothing. Whoever ordered one, better be armed with lots patience. A patience that will be rewarded, as it is the perfect lens ;).
X-T30II
It is expected to ship on October 21. Adorama is more pessimistic and expects to deliver in January 2022.
XF 33mmF1.4 R LM WR
It was supposed to start shipping on September 29, but pre-orders are very high and forced Fujifilm to issue an official delivery delay notice. Now it is expected to ship on October 21 in North America. Oddly enough, in Europe it is shipping and in stock.
XF 23mmF1.4 R LM WR
It is expected to ship on November 30.
XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR
Good News. This one is in stock everywhere!

I always told you that Fujifilm X-E line cameras are Fujifilm’s best looking cameras (after the X100 line cameras).
Now this is official, as ePHOTOzine writes in their review.
one thing you can’t deny is how good it looks
I owned all X-E cameras (except for the mysterious X-E2S, still today I wonder if it was worth for Fujifilm to release a new camera just for single AUTO button). And if I would not yet own the X-Trans IV Fuji X-T4, I’d grab the X-E4 immediately, as I love the hidden LCD screen on the X-E4. But there must a be reasonable limit to the gear I buy ;).
Now I put all my hope in a Fujifilm X-E5 with newer sensor that keeps the hidden screen. For that one, I’ll sell my X-E3 and X-T4.
Back to the review. ePHOTOzine ends up highly recommend the Fujifilm X-E4. Here are their Pros and Cons:

It’s over!
Not only the Fujifilm X-E4 will be the last X series camera to come this year, but according to our sources it will also be the last one to feature the excellent X-Trans IV sensor!
The 26MP X-Trans IV sensor was used first on the Fujifilm X-T3, followed by the X-T30, X-Pro3, X100V, X-T4, X-S10 and last but not least the X-E4.
It’s still a great sensor with top-notch technology. Backside illuminated, full phase detection coverage, copper wiring for faster sensor readout. It’s the same technology we find in flagship cameras of other brands such as the Sony Alpha a7R IV.
And the future?
Fujifilm managers already hinted multiple times like in this interview and also here, that the future will bring more megapixel to the X series.
Which sensor technology will be used? Will it really be that 43 Megapixel 8K stacked BSI sensor?
Questions, riddles and enigmas that FujiRumors is trying to answer for you.
All I can say for now is that, after an explosive start in 2021, Fuji’s current quietness is only apparent. Behind the scenes great things are planed, and if you’d like to get a secret glimpse into them, following FujiRumors is the way to go.
