The new firmware for Fujifilm X100V, X-Pro3 and X-T30 cameras has been released, as well as for XC16.50mmII.
Over on DPReview a member shared a note he received by BHphoto about a new firmware for X-Pro3. And in the comments, a DPR member claimed it will come tomorrow, February 11.
That’s not true. No firmware will come tomorrow.
Other people got confused, and thought that the firwmare has been released already, as fellow FR-reader Thomas, who informed me via Twitter here.
Nope, nothing has been released, and nothing will be released tomorrow.
You have to be a bit patient… FujiRumors will inform you 0.01 seconds after the firmware will be online ;)
In the meantime, check out the official Fujifilm press release about the firmware.
Here is what happened.
Two days ago a fellow Fujifilm X Shooter contacted me, saying that his local store told him the following:
So first thing I did was to check the Fujifilm deals page, and indeed, the X-T3 no longer showed up among the rebated cameras.
I then wrote this article, where I informed you about the X-T3 deal being removed and that a local store spread the news the X-T3 is now discontinued.
However, trusted sources immediately reached out to me and yes, they confirmed the removal from the deals list of the X-T3, but they also clearly told me that the X-T3 has not been discontinued but some X-T3 variations (kit combinations) maybe harder to find from now on.
Also, I have been told that the real reason Fujifilm removed the X-T3 deals is that the demand for X-T3 is very high and Fujifilm can’t keep up with it.
So it was important to set things right for you guys.

Here is something for the weekend.
I was going through our massive Fujifilm X-T group to enjoy some images during my lockdown, when I noticed the link to a short movie called “2020“.
It’s about two roommates who attempt to survive 2020 on the mission to get some toilet paper.
This short film is a parody and love letter to the award winning movie 1917. And interesting for us Fujifilm X lovers, it was shot entirely on a Fujifilm X-T3 with a Zhiyun Weebill-S.
I thought this might be something you’d like to check out sometimes this weekend, in case you haven’t seen it already.
Speaking of 2020, down below an image I’ve shared on my instagram, that sums up pretty well how my work changed in 2020.
Ok guys, I hope you are all well and safe. Take your precautions and enjoy your weekend,
Patrick

Fujifilm has just released firmware 4.00 for Fujifilm X-T3.
It’s a major update, and hence it requires an update to the manual.
You can download the new features guide in several languages:

Fujifilm has released firmware updates for Fujifilm X-T3 and X-H1.
The new Fujifilm X-T3 firmware will make lots of X-T3 shooters happy today :).
Just yesterday we reported how Fujifilm Spain said that the next X-T3 firmware update will include Classic Negative film simulation.
Now Fujifilm Spain is correcting their statement. They deleted the comment they made on Instagram and they contacted the Spanish website Fujistas and told them:
We have no official confirmation as to whether the new firmware update for the Fujifilm X-T3 camera will include the Classic Negative film simulation mode
Fujifilm Spain told Fujistas that they confused X-T3 with X-S10 (the latter one has Classic Negative).
That’s a huge pity, but if I was a Fujifilm X-T3 shooter, I wouldn’t give up hope.
Implementing Classic Negative to the Fujifilm X-T3 is something Fujifilm can do rather easily, as it shares the same processor of the X-T4 and X-S10. And I strongly believe that at some point somebody at the Japanese Fujifilm HQ will have a momentary lapse of reason and give out the order to put Classic Negative into the X-T3!
My idea? (not rumor)
Fujifilm might just want to wait a little bit longer to bring Classic Negative to the X-T3, to protect even more X-T4 sales, which started shipping only 6 months ago in the middle of a worldwide pandemic putting the world under lockdown and causing a worldwide economic crisis… not the best conditions to launch a new camera.
Don’t get me wrong, the X-T4 is like all other X-Tx cameras a hot seller for Fujifilm, but given how amazing* 2020 was so far, it probably didn’t meet the very high target sales Fujifilm envisioned for this camera.
Giving the X-T4 a little “artificial” firmware advantage helps a bit to bring its sales more in line with what Fujifilm was expecting and hoping.
And guys, we all want Fujifilm to survive and possibly even flourish in the camera market, and hence we must accept a bit of Realpolitik because of that.
With all that said, once X-T4 sales are better and probably passed its peak [which I expect to be in early spring 2021], I am confident Fujifilm will give us Classic Negative also on the X-T3.
*sarcastic statement
UPDATE: Fujifilm Spain has now deleted the comment and told to Spanish news sites that Classic Negative for X-T3 is not confirmed. Read all details here.
Fujifilm has recently officially announced a major firmware update for Fujifilm X-T3 to come on October 28.
To know what it will bring, check out this post.
Missing from the official list of features is the lovely Classic Negative film simulation (which I love to use for my street photos).
But there is hope!
According to a report by the Spanish website Fujistas, they got confirmation from Fujifilm Spain that Classic Negative will be included in the big Fujifilm X-T3 firmware 4.00 update of late October. And indeed, if you look at Fujifilm Spain Instagram, you can see they told to their followers that Classic Negative will be included.
So, let’s cross fingers. I really love Classic Negative on my X-T4, and I strongly hope that also all X-T3 shooters will soon be able to enjoy this beautiful film simulation, too.
