A Look into 2025 Fujifilm Rumors (and Beyond) and the Ultimate 2024 Rumor Check

Rumor 2025+ Overview with Rating

Time to check how accurate our rumors were in 2024 and get an outlook on the remaining rumors for 2025 (and beyond) with reliability ranking.

As usual, I will be brutal and merciless in my rumor accuracy rating.

How brutal?

Well, here are two examples.

I told you the X100VI would be basically same in size of X100V despite having IBIS. The difference is 1mm. Well, turns out it is 2mm thicker. So while it is substantially an accurate rumor, I list it as wrong.

Also, we misunderstood a source regarding the X100VI silver color. We needed only 3 hours to clarify this misunderstanding and correct it. But still, for 3 hours only, an inaccurate info was online.

WIth that said, here is how things went:

  • 99 rumors shared in 2024
  • 24 rumors still to be verified
  • 72 correct rumors out of 75 verifiable rumors
  • 3 wrong rumors (normal people would say 1 wrong rumor -not about Fujifilm-, but I am brutal to myself)
  • 96% correct rumors

The Remainng Rumors for 2025 and Beyond

Fujifilm Dominates 2024: Outsells Sony, Canon, and Nikon in Map Camera Sales Rankings

Share

I don’t know if there was any year in Fujiifilm’s history, in which they have sold as many cameras as they did in 2024.

Sure, the sales have largely been pushed by the Fujifilm X100VI, which broke all sales records among all brands in the history of mirrorless camera sales.

But there are even more cameras that enjoyed a huge success.

If you look at the MapCamera 2024 sales ranking (one of the largest Japanese camera stores), we can see that the Fujifilm X-T50 placed 2nd. And the two year old Fujifilm X-T5 still holds the 5th spot.

This is surprising, since Fujifilm struggled throughout the year to ship their cameras, especially in Japan (and Asia in general), where the situation was even worst than on other continents.

  1. Fujifilm X100VI
  2. Fujifilm X-T50
  3. Sony A7CII
  4. Nikon Zf
  5. Fujifilm X-T5
  6. Nikon Z6III
  7. Sony α7IV
  8. Canon EOS R6 Mark II
  9. Canon EOS R5 Mark II
  10. Nikon Z8

As far as the other brands goes, I am very happy to see the Nikon Zf so high in the ranking, although we listed 9 reasons why the Fujifilm X-T5 is just the much better pick over the Nikon Zf, with one of them being the lack of lenses with aperture ring, which is a quintessential part of the manual control shooting experience. And sure, no joystick, no dual UHS-II, bigger, heavier, more expensive, no film simulations and other reasons that made the Nikon Zf a no-go for me.

And yet, I hope this will motivate also Canon and Sony to create their own vintage camera versions.

Did FujiRumors get it right?

I am surprised to see such a high interest for the Fujifilm X-M5.

A bit less surprising is to see film simulation content on the top of the ranking, especially with Classic Cuban Neg, which has quickly become a Fujifilm users favorite.

This article of 2022 still gets great views, too.

I hope you enjoyed checking out FujiRumors in 2024. And if you want, stick around also in 2025, because I have the feeling it could be a very interesting year.

Love you guys!
