Fujifilm X100V Replacement

Amazon Prime Deal Pages

We told you yesterday that you should not expect the Fujifilm X100V replacement to come in 2023, hence it is not one of the two registered Fujifilm cameras (FF230001and FF230002).

Today we confirm it and we have received permission from sources to tell you this:

The Fujifilm X100V replacement will be announced in early 2024!

Third Party Lenses (Manual + Autofocus) – How Popular Are They Really? – VOTE NOW (X Mount Edition)

Share

I have recently launched a survey, where I ask you which autofocus X mount lenses you own (Fujinon and Third Party).

But some pointed out that there are also lots of third party manual focus X mount lenses that they own for the X system. Or they adapt AF lenses via smart adapters. Or they have dummy adapters for MF lenses.

Now, your wish was that I’d somehow include those lenses in the survey too.

So I thought we could investigate this with a new survey that includes the following options:

  • Fujinon XF/XC lenses
  • X mount third party autofocus X lenses (from Viltrox, Sigma, Tamron & Co)
  • X mount third party manual focus lenses
  • adapted manual focus lenses
  • adapted autofocus lenses (using smart AF adapters from Fringer & Co)

Tick the boxes in case you own any lens that falls into one of these categories.

I will launch the same survey also for the G mount system, so we can compare the results and see if there are significant differences. I mean, there certainly will be, as there are no third party autofocus lenses for the G mount. And I have the feeling the number of adapted manual focus lenses will be very high compared to the X mount system. But we will be able to compare it later.

Let’s start with the X mount. You’ll find the survey down below.

RUMOR: No Fujifilm X100V Successor in 2023 (X200, X100VI or X100W-hatever)

Share

Everything is Possible (almost)

FujiRumors broke the rumors:

But we also know one more thing. Fujifilm two registrations filed so far: the Fujifilm FF230001 and FF230002.

Now, assuming that one of the two will be the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement, this leaves all possible options open for the second one.

Well, not really all options. I mean, I simply can’t see a Fujifilm X-H3 or Fujifilm X-H3s coming in September, as those cameras are hardly 1 year old (or less).  And also not the Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-S30.

But other than that, we can hope for:

  • a Fujifilm X-T5s with 26MP stacked sensor of X-H2S
  • a Fujifilm X-Pro4 maybe with some curious solutions as many hope for example a monochrome sensor
  • a Fujifilm X-E5 which is not a dead line according to Fujifilm managers
  • the long awaited Fujifilm X-T40
  • the much wished Fujifilm X80 or Fujifilm XF20
  • the revival of Fuji’s entry level cameras with the Fujifilm X-T300, Fujifilm X-A8, Fujifilm X-A30 or Fujifilm X-M2
  • less likely in my opinion the Fujifilm GFX100S successor, Fujifilm GFX50R successor or Fujifilm GFX50SII successor, as I can’t see Fuji launching two GFX cameras on the same day (they never did that in the past, but never say never)

And in fact, I asked you to vote on which camera you’d like to get on September 12 and you can see the results here.

X100V successor is NOT possible

At this point you’ve noticed something: there is no Fujifilm X100V successor (X200, X100VI, X100 whatever it will be called) in the list.

Why?

Well, because despite being one of your top wished cameras (second only to another camera), and despite fake rumors already being shared about the X100V to come on September 12, I can now tell you with 110% certainty that there will not be any Fujifilm X100V replacement coming in 2023.

Trust me on this guys. No X100V successor in 2023.

I guess Fujifilm has no hurry at all to come out with a successor, given the fact, explained by Fujifilm managers, that if the world would stop to order X100V today, it would still take them 3 months to be able to ship all X100V orders placed until yesterday.

Seen from this perspective, the biggest problem of the Fujifilm X100VI (or whatever) is the terrific success of the X100V.

Feeling Lucky?

“I feel lucky and will click the links to see if the X100V is in stock” :)

Which Fujifilm X Mount Autofocus Lens do You Own? – VOTE NOW

Share

A year has passed from the last survey. New autofocus lenses from Fujifilm but also from other brands have joined in the meantime.

So it’s time to launch an updated survey and see how popular some of the new lenses have become (or not).

Sadly I could not include the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN X mount in the survey, as that one is not yet available for pre-order. Also the TTAritsan 32mm f /2.8, despite being officially teased since a long time, has not yet been announced and is for now available for Nikon Z mount only.

Another one missing, is the upcoming Viltrox 27mm f/1.2, which will be available mid-August.
