Top 10 Hottest Topics of 2022: Lost Fujifilm Soul, X-T5 Battery Grip Dispute, No Medium Format Magic & More

Share

When I shared the list of the top 10 articles for 2022, I noticed that some of the articles gathered huge traffic, but are of limited discussion interest.

Take for example the firmware articles. Sure, they always generate traffic, because many people who own the cameras in “firmware need”, go to FujiRumors to check out the details of the firmware and access the download links through our website. But they are not hot topics per se, meaning topics that generate lots of comments and heated debates.

So I thought we should honour also those articles of 2022, that were the most discussed here on FujiRumors. The ones where you guys decided to invest more time than in other articles.

Top 10 Commented Articles

TESTED: Sirui 1.25x Anamorphic Adapter on Fujifilm X-H2 and XF33mm f/1.4

Share

Let’s catch up with a piece of gear that I can’t remember I have ever talked about: the Sirui 1.25x Anamorphic Adapter.

As far as I can see it is available at Amazon since October 2022, but the Japanese guys at Mapcamera, who have now shared a test of the adapter on a Fujifilm X-H2 with XF33mmF1.4 lens, say that it will be available only this month.

Anyways, it’s something I have not talked about so far, so here is how it works.

For the first time ever, the black Fujifilm X-T5 body is in stock and ready to ship at BHphoto here.

Note: in the original article we found the X-T5 black in stock at Adorama, but it quickly sold out. Now you can find it on BHPhoto. Hence we edited the article.

This LEAKED Internal Fujifilm X-H2 Document Confirms Fujifilm’s Plan to Advertise X-H2 as Having Improved Low/High ISO Performance

Share

If you have seen our big yearly rumor roundup, you’ll have noticed that out of 85 rumors, I’ve listed 2 as wrong and 83 as correct.

And I was extremely severe to myself, as one of the wrong rumors was that I said Fujifilm would advertise the X-H2 40MP as having better low and high ISO performance.

But here is the thing:

When the X-H2 was launched, Fujifilm did not use the words “better low and high ISO performance“, but they talked about “better Signal to Noise Ratio” and “better Dynamic Range” and “wider pixel saturation” and “new base ISO 125” and more of this stuff.

That’s close, very close. But not 1:1 identical to what I said. So I decided to move it into the wrong section.

Well, it seems that our sources wanted me to start the year by being not too harsh on myself and they’ve forwarded me a slide of the internal Fujifilm training material, that said exactly that: X-H2 has “improved Low/High ISO“.

So, first and foremost huge thanks to all our sources, including the one who helped me out today. Without you, FujiRumors would be just half as fun as it is and being a Fuji shooter would be so more boring.

Also, I’d certainly I would make many more errors without you, as I would have no reliable guidance through the think jungle of fake rumors I receive every week.

Second, I will not correct my original rumor check, as at the end what matters is what Fujifilm said in public, and not the marketing material that circulates behind closed doors.

But at least you guys know that I am not following the sad trend to make up stuff for traffic. That’s not who we are and I leave these things to others.

What we share is what we trust in. And sure, even then I can be wrong sometimes. But I know I’ve tried all I can to be as accurate as possible.
