About
Here on FujiRumors I get many, really many thousands of emails and personal messages a year.
There is no team behind FujiRumors. It’s me, Patrick, that’s it. And I try to reply to every single one of you, in my spare time from my day job.
I feel very privileged that such a large community comes together here on FujiRumors… but with huge fellowship, comes also huge responsibility and work.
Hence, for as much as I try, sometimes I am not really able to answer you all in a super-comprehensive way.
But I think everybody gets a reply, and surely I read ever single message I receive.
Among those messages, there are many, who express lens wishes, firmware wishes, improvement ideas and all possible things.
Today I decided to collect many of those messages I get, and put them all in one big FujiRumors readers wishlist roundup.
I would like to honor your participation as good as I can, and this little wishlist roundup, is a little sign, that whatever you tell me, I listen…. and I share :).
Have a wonderful Sunday,
Patrick

Fujifilm manager Toshihisa Iida gave an interview to DPReview.
Here is what he says:
I know, here on FujiRumors we told you that Fujifilm decided to drop the Fujifilm X-E line, which means there won’t be any Fujifilm X-E4.
It’s one of those rumors, I hope to be wrong with all my heart (but I am very confident I am not).
Now, the X-E line was always walking on a thin line, and it risked to be dropped already in the past, as you know from my X-E3 love letter.
These days I am scanning the web for any statement regarding the X-E4, that can give me some hope.
I searched long, and I found a short statement made by Italian Fujifilm manager Massimo Vaghi in a 2+ hour long Fujifilm X-T4 and X100V live chat.
He says:
Mapcamera interviewed one of Japanese top managers Mr. Takashi Ueno. They talk about Fujifilm X-T4.
The interview is quite long and in Japanese, so for your convenience I have summed it up all in English down below.
And just in case it was needed, he confirms that there will be a Fujifilm X-H2, as FujiRumors always told you and never doubted for a second, even when the whole universe was saying differently.
In fact, I tell you this: at no point in time, Fujifilm ever considered stopping the X-H line. The line they canceled is another one, and we told you here.
The only thing: the Fujifilm X-H2 is still very far away.
Trust me guys… I know what I talk about, and if you want to be the first to know and be guided accurately through the Fujifilm world, all you need to do is to follow FujiRumors.
In fact, I am working on further explosive rumors. Some will totally surprise you, others will probably disappoint you. When time has come, when things are double checked, when green light is given, you will get it all!
And now… the interview.

Fujifilm USA manager Michael Bulbenko made a 10 minutes video on Instagram introducing the Fujifilm X-T4.
Just as the top Manager Toshi Iida said a few days ago in this must see interview, also Michael confirms the strong pre-orders for the Fujifilm X-T4.
But strong pre-orders in times of Coronavirus COVID-19 also introduce shipping difficulties.
Regarding the shipping, I must say I am confused. Let’s sum up the different official statements we got so far in chronological order.
Maybe every country will get a different shipping time? That would be unusual for Fujifilm, but in these days everything is unusual.
If we look at stores, BHphoto marks it as available April 30, while Adorama expects it on May 4.
You can see the Manager video and a summary down below.
Fujifilm published part 3 of their “Tales of the Fujifilm X-T4” series.
Part 3 is all about the new Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation. Here is what they say:
Foto EmaTV had an 1+ hour long skype interview with Italian Fujifilm manager Riccardo Scotti. They talk about the Fujifilm X-T4.
Lucky you that I speak Italian, so down below is a summary.
Most important: he can’t say anything, but the way he formulated it, he made hopes for a major Fujifilm X-T3 firmware update. Read it down below.
Also, a little titbit nobody reported about. Do you know that little synch terminal cap that you (and me) keep losing? Well, looks like Fujifilm has improved the mechanism and it should stick better on the camera.
If you are interested, read more down below.
Cinema5D interviewed top Fujifilm manager Toshi Iida.
It’s a 20 minutes interview I urge you to watch, but if you are in a hurry, here is what the manager says in a quick and practical summary. You can find the full video below.
