Fujifilm Monochrome Camera Coming, Really?

Fujifilm Monochrome?

I have been contacted, asking to take position on a “rumor” shared by Ken on youtube.

The “rumor” says “Fujifilm is talking about monochrome”.

Now, I hate to be the one that takes away the hype, but just be careful.

Fujifilm has regular meetings, and “talks” just about everything.

In fact, I hear these monochrome “talks” since at least half a decade now.

For example, a Fujifilm manager publicly said back in 2016, that they thought about developing a monochrome camera.

Not only. Fujifilm talks about monochrome and much more. Ideas, concepts and what not. Some become real, others not, others change.

So, take a grain of salt. At the end it’s the same source, who said about the Samsung 28MP Fujifilm X-T3 sensor… so be careful with some rumors.

What we want to know, is if Fujifilm decided to make a monochrome camera.

And looking at the survey below, you guys would love to see a monochrome camera.

Fujifilm X-T4 First Specs, Fujifilm X100V Specs and First Image, Fuji X-T3 Firmware, No New GFX in 2020 & More – Top January Articles

January was an extremely busy month, with 92 articles shared in 31 days.

FujiRumors shared 21 rumors, and some of them surprised many of us, me included, for example the fact that the Fujifilm X-T4 will ship much earlier than everybody was expecting it.

A big thanks goes to our sources (also the new ones that joined in January). You help me to keep the worldwide Fujifilm community on fire for the upcoming releases. :)

Now, with 92 articles in 31 days, you might have missed some tidbits.

So here are the top 10 articles for January.

  1. Fujifilm X-T3 Successor Shipping in March/Early Spring 2020
  2. Fujifilm X-T4 Registered and Coming with IBIS in March, and About that 6K60p Video Rumor
  3. Fujifilm X100V: First Leaked Image (Low Res)
  4. Fujifilm X-T4 Announcement on February 26
  5. Fujifilm X100V with Improved 23mm f/2 lens
  6. Fujifilm X-T3 Firmware 3.20 and Fujifilm X-Pro3 Firmware 1.03 Released

  10. Fujifilm X-T4 Coming with Completely New Battery
  11. No New Fujifilm GFX camera coming in 2020

Ok, there are 11 articles, not 10, but I thought the 11th is very important to know, and underline again today, as it might have passed unnoticed under the Fujifilm X-T4 and Fujifilm X100V rumor storm.

Fujifilm has a major event on February 4th. Of course, there will be a live stream here on FujiRumors.

Fujifilm X-T4: Tilt Screen Clarification and Survey on Which Selfie Screen you Prefer

Ok, this is a mandatory clarification.

The original rumor of a Fujifilm X-T4 with tilt screen was shared by J. at our X-T facebook group here. I also talked to J., and he confirmed it. And as here on FR we don’t need and don’t like it to take other rumors and sell them as our own, we are happy to quote J.

But here is the point:

J. said the tilt screen will be like the one of the Panasonic S1H.

But I noticed a tendecy on the web, to attribute to FR also the S1H alike rumor.

So I just want to clarify, that all FujiRumors sources told us only about a “selfie flippy screen”, but not which kind of selfie screen it will be. Will it be like on the Fujifilm X-T200, or like on Fujifilm X-T100, or like on the Panasonic S1H? At this point, we do not know. We just know vloggers will be happy about it :).

I thought I need to set this right, as I don’t want any reader to be mislead here.

For us, this post is also a welcome opportunity to ask you, which selfie flippy screen do you prefer, X-T200, X-T100 or Panasonic S1H? Vote down below.

And… for the real Fujifilm addicts out there:

And yes… there will be a new battery, don’t worry about that ;).

Previous X-T4 Rumors

SEE THE VIDEOS AND VOTE

Down below are three videos, they all start at the point, where you see the screen in action.

  • X-T100 screen: tiltable up and down still centered to camera body. You can flip it out in selfie mode
  • X-T200 screen: classic fully articulating screen. If you want to tilt up or down, you must move it out all the way on the side of the camera. No longer centered. But you can flip it inwards, to protect the screen
  • S1H screen: You can tilt it down still centered to the camera. And fully articulates when moved out on the side of the camera. You can flip it inwards towards camera body, for protection. It has a more bulky design, but allows to move the screen more away from the camera, potentially keeping it more far away from the cables you might have attached on the side of the camera body

My favorite selfie screen is:

CONFIRMED: Fujifilm X-T4 Coming with Selfie Flippy Screen, as Rumored Back in November by…

Fujifilm X-T4

We want to start this rumor, by giving credit, where credit really belongs.

Hence, credit goes to J. from our fantastic X-T group, as he was the very first to tell to the Fujifilm world about the Fujifilm X-T4 with selfie flippy screen back on November 21, 2019 here. J. wrote:

fully articulating flippy…essentially a Panasonic S1H but APS-C with Fuji color and obviously much smaller

Well, FujiRumors made its checks (also thanks to new sources!), and we can now confirm that the Fujifilm X-T4 will indeed have a flippy screen.

→ Top X-T Community: Fujifilm X-T facebook group
→ Top X-T Page: Fujifilm X-T Page

If that’s a good news or not, feel free to let us know in the survey down below.

And what else did J. tell us about the Fujifilm X-T4? Well, here is the rest of his list:

  • X-T4 with IBIS
  • expect a T4 about 1/3 of an inch thicker, and about 5-6oz heavier
  • On a good note expect 6k60 and 10bit internal
  • anamorphic ratio
  • release end of 2020
  • X-H line most likely canceled

The Fujifilm X-T4 release end of 2020 is not correct. The official Fuji X-T4 announcement is set for February 26. And as we hear from our sources (and top Fujifilm managers confirm), the Fujifilm X-H2 is still on the roadmap, but not for 2020.

But J. got the IBIS right and the selfie screen. And it’s objectively not easy to get long term rumors right, as Fujifilm is prone to plan changes. So what J. told us might have been correct at the time of sharing, but could be partially no longer valid now.

So, we keep up working, and will try to deliver you more rumors in the next few days and weeks. Stay tuned.

Fujifilm X-T3 vs Sony A6600, Low Light X-T3 vs A7III Wedding Photography, X-T3 Water Resistance and More – X-T3 Roundup

 

The inevitable will happen: the Fujifilm X-T4 will ship within March, and this means that the time of dedicated Fujifilm X-T3 roundups will soon be over, and the X-T3 content will be moved to the general camera roundups.

But we are not yet there.

The Fujifilm X-T3 is still today the DPReview most recommended camera below $1,500 and at the same time the DPR camera popularity winner.

So, it’s still a beast of a camera, that will soon get even better, thanks to this firmware update.

Hence, here we have one more glorious Fujifilm X-T3 roundup for you.

The Fujifilm X-T4 will have a serious challenge: improve what is already very, very good. Let’s see if it will stand up to this task.

NEW SOURCE: Fujifilm X-T4 with Improved Battery Life and EVF (Unconfirmed)

Fujifilm X Shooter rejoices at the Rumor of Improved Battery Life on Fujifilm X-T4
Fujifilm X Shooter rejoices at the rumor of improved battery life on Fujifilm X-T4

Fujifilm X-T4

Ok guys,

First off I want you take this information with a grain of salt, as it comes from an anonymous source with nickname (thanks for sharing).

If I will be able to confirm any of the information, I will let you know.

Here is what the new source told us:

  • Name: Fujifilm X-T4
  • Improved battery life
  • best in class EVF
  • IBIS

Except for IBIS, I can’t confirm anything for now.

Now, on FR we are proud to share about 60 rumors a year with a 90+% accuracy.

But a significant part of this community also asked me to be less conservative, take more risks, and share more anonymous/new source rumors I get, even if that would mean maybe falling back to a 70% accuracy.

I am still rather reluctant to do so, but today I try to follow your advice, and share this rumor, even if it’s unconfirmed until now. But this will be more of an exception, as I want to keep my hit rate very high.

And who knows, even our long time trusted sources started as new sources. So let’s hope that todays’ source will be generous with the FR community, and share further details in future.

To the source: thanks a TON for the nickname! Makes things easier. Regarding X100V, I am working on that rumor, and will post an update soon.

And just out of curiosity, I thought I let you vote on what you believe will be the name of the Fujifilm X-T3 successor.

The Fujifilm X-T3 successor will be called...

We have broken a couple of rumors, and now it’s time for a recap.

Fujifilm X-T4

After our recent leaks we know:

  • shipping in March
  • not to be announced in January, but later
  • IBIS

All the rest, the 6K60P, the anamorphic ratio and all the rest, comes from a source in our Fujifilm X-T group, who also said X-T4 would come in late 2020. That’s wrong, so take the rest with a grain of salt too.

All Fujifilm X-T4 rumors here.

Fujifilm X100V

The oldest in the bunch to be rumored, already since months:

You Voted: Fujifilm X-H2 beats X-T4 and X100V as Most Wanted 2020 Camera and Only 3% want Full Frame Fujifilm

Well, looking at the results of our most desired Fujifilm camera 2020 survey, the Fujifilm X-H2 comes out on top of the list.

In fact, many hoped to see an X-H2 already under our 2019 Christmas tree.

However, as FujiRumors always told you, the X-H2 was never planed to hit the market in 2019, and to my knowledge there won’t be one even in 2020.

So what, did Fujifilm kill the X-H line?

Absolutely not!

In fact, I say, repeat and underline again: Fujifilm has plans for a Fujifilm X-H2. Just give them a bit more time, ok?

I hope this helps to make you feel better.

In our survey, Fujifilm X-H2 is very closely followed by the Fujifilm X-T4 and the upcoming Fujifilm X100V.

On the forth position, we find the Fujifilm X-T3s, basically an X-T3 with IBIS.

Now, we will surely get the Fujifilm X100V in February and we won’t get the Fujifilm X-H2 in 2020. And what about the Fujifilm X-T3 successor?

Well, we already told you in our future cameras release timeline, that, if Fujifilm respects their past refresh rate, the successor to the Fujifilm X-T3 (which is still selling strong and top recommended by DPR) could be a possibility for 2020, but it remains to see if it really comes out, and which form and shape it would eventually take.

Also worth to notice: only 3% of FR-readers want a full frame Fujifilm.

What did FujiRumors vote?

Well, I gave a vote to the Fujifilm X-H2 and to the Fujifilm GFX-T, which is something like the Fujifilm X-G mock-up that Fuji officially displayed to the press. That camera, I am sure, would be a home run for the the GFX system.

Anyway, whatever comes, and whatever will be under our 2020 Christmas tree, just follow FujiRumors to find it out before anyone else ;).

The Rumor Year 2019: The Right, the Wrong and the Still to Come!

The Rumor Year 2019

As you know, I am a teacher, and usually it’s me, who has to judge and give votes to others.

But not today, as it’s time for our yearly 2019 rumors check, and to see if I did my homework well or not.

Also, there will be an accuracy rating of those rumors, that still could not be verified.

Keep in mind, there could be further rumors before the end of the year, in which case I will update this list!

Ready? Cool, so let’s start,

But be warned: I will be incredible severe to myself, as I will include in the wrong rumor section, rumors that were actually correct at the time of sharing, but just turned out wrong because Fujifilm changed plans.

It’s the case for example of the new lens roadmaps. In fact, just a few days after our rumor, top Fujifilm manager confirmed here, that indeed there would have been new roadmaps in 2019, but 2019 is now ending, and nothing came. So I was wrong, but so was the top Fujifilm manager.

  • 52 rumors shared
  • 14 rumors still to be verified

DPRTV 2020 Camera Companies Resolutions: Fujifilm Should Merge X-T and X-H Line and Sony Steal Fujifilm Colors

2020 Camera Resolutions

DPReviewTV has published their 2020 resolutions for every camera company, of course including Fujifilm.

Regarding Fujifilm, they say:

When asked if Fujifilm should merge X-T and X-H line, most of you guys voted you prefer to keep both lines well separated, and I believe that would make sense, for the reasons I explained in this article.

What I believe would make sense, though, is to give us a Fujifilm X-T4 with IBIS and maybe a bigger battery. Do that, and you’ll make tons of Fujifilm shooters happy.

I am not sure about the Fujifilm X-A7 flippy screen, though, as this would make it tilt in the wrong direction, when shooting portraits. Maybe that’s more something for the Fujifilm X-H2.

Neopan 400 is a much loved film, as you can see from these customer reviews. So make it happen, Fuji!

As recently measured, Fujifilm has currenty the worse face/eye AF. But I would not worry about that too much. A major improvement is coming via firmware, soon.

You can see the full video above, where, among the others, the recommend Sony to steal Fujifilm colors ;).
