I’m aware of one thing: I will never ever be able to give you a 100% rumor accuracy.

Sure, I sometimes just post a wrong rumor, but often those “wrong” rumors were actually correct at the time of sharing… it’s just the products did not materialize (did you notice the X-Pro1s amongst the X-Pro1 successor prototypes showed by Fujfilm ;) ?)

But luckily Our Sources Rock, and often they can keep us updated with the latest changes at Fuji’s house. They are my guide through the tons of fakes I get from people who apparently don’t like FujiRumors. And that’s why at the end, in the last 12 months, Fujirumors has the following (in my opinion amazing) numbers:

• 140 rumors shared
• 117 of these 140 rumors could be verified
• 98 of those 117 rumors were correct
• 19 were wrong (or right at the time of sharing, but Fuji changed plans)
• 23 rumors still have to be checked
• 84% correct rumors

So, my fellow X-Shooters, I will continue to keep you up to date with Fuji’s plans, even if this means taking risks that Fuji changes plans, and I’ll expose myself to shitstorms. But my job here is to keep you informed, so that you can make better buying decisions and also send your Feedback directly to Fujifilm (who reads this blog), while they are still discussing possible products.

So here you have the complete Rumor Overview of what has been shared in 2015 and 2016 (and still has to be verfied) + the huge Rumor by Rumor check.

HIGH RATING*

* 75% to 99% correct

Just a few days ago, I’ve told you about how the X-Pro2 shows a 33mm frameline preview.

Now a New Source told us that we are following the right hint… this lens is on Fuji’s unofficial roadmap, and will be unveiled very likely at Photokina (September 2016).

Sure, take the grain of salt, not only because this information comes from a new Source (thanks for sharing, btw :) ), but also because this is a “long-term” rumor, which means that many things can happen during these months and product announcements dates can change any time… and in worst case also be canceled (like with the X-Pro1s, where I got plenty of shitstorm because of that “wrong” rumor, but on January 15 Fujifilm showed an X-Pro1 successor prototype called…. yep, X-Pro1s ;) ).

Anyway… this is another hint that something is coming… and what better event to unveil this Fujinon-gem, than Photokina 2016?

After many hours of extreme X-Pro2 live blogging, I finally found the time to go through some of the plethora of first looks published about the X-Pro2… and each one is triggering my GAS more and more.

One of these was an interview with Fuji Manager Takeshi Ueno at bjp-online. The talk was about the X-Pro2, but at the end the journalist asked about Medium Format (rumored here), and Takeshi Ueno answered:

“We are in a very good position to make a medium format camera, as we make camera bodies, sensors and lenses. We already make the lenses for Hasselblad, so we have that expertise.

At the moment Fuji is not planning to launch a medium format camera, but we are conducting research and testing sensors in this area.

We have a good history in the medium format market, and I think we would be successful again. We have the technology to make a very modern and high quality camera, but right now we are only investigating.”

At the end the journalist said:

“Ueno agreed that now would be a very good time for Fuji to enter the market, but it seems that not everyone in the company is quite as convinced.”

Now add to this this rumor of one of our sources, who was right in the past, and we can start to be cautiously optimistic. In any case, if it ever becomes true, it probably won’t see the light that soon.

And just in case somebody at Fuji would be interested in our opinion (and you know they do, right?), then let’s say it in the comments and drop your vote in the Poll.

And now another good news.

According to a trusted source, on January 14/15 (according to your time zone), Fujifilm will also announce a new Flash, the EF-X500.

As our amazing sources told us already in November 2014 (!!!) here, the guide number will be 50. The EF-X500 will be capable of HSS 1/8000 (only with X-Pro2). The flash will also be weather sealed.

According to the source, we will still have to wait until spring to finally be able to use it. The exact month of release is unknown (at least to this source). As soon as I hear more, I’ll let you know.

So if all the rumors shared on FR over the last months are right, here is the Full List of Announcements on January 14 at 11:30PM NY-Time

• Fujifilm X-Pro2
• Fujifilm X70
• Fujifilm X-E2s
• Fujinon XF100-400
• Firmware 4.00 for Fujifilm X-E2
• EF-X500 Flash
• FinePix XP90

I somehow have the feeling that it will be the most challanging Live Blogging session ever for me… I’m working on my limits, I’ll put my best into this until the last day, and I hope you won’t let me alone here on FR ;)

by FR-reader Daniel: X70 Vs Ricoh GR Comparison

SIZE COMPARISON: Ricoh GR  Vs. X100T Vs. X70

The prophecy is real!

Already 2 years ago our sources told us that Fuji is considering to make a camera called Fuji X70, EVF-less and with fixed lens.

In the last weeks our sources told us that it will have a 18.5mmF2.8 lens, a touch & flip screen, 16MP X-Trans sensor and EXRII processor + optional viewfinder. All this is now confirmed by our rumor friend over at digicame-info.

He also leaked the First Images of the Fujifilm X70, which will be unveiled on January 15 (January 14 – 11:30PM NY-Time), along with the X-Pro2, X-E2s, XF100-400 and the X-E2 Firmware.
