Fujifilm EU (found via nokisihita) just leaked the full specs of the Fujifilm X-T100, which according to our sources will be officially announced on May 24.
The goal of the Fujifilm X-T100 is to close the gap between the EVF-less Fujifilm X-A5 and Fuji’s mid-range X-Trans cameras like the Fujifilm X-T20 and Fujifilm X-E3.
We shared the first rumors about the Fujifilm X-T100 back in September 2017. Over the following weeks and months, FujiRumors has shared braking specs of Fujifilm X-T100.
Here are the main specs again for you guys:
design similar to X-T20
24 Megapixel Bayer sensor
Selfie Screen
very affordable

On May 26, the Australian store CameraPro will offer a full day event packed with workshops, presentations and hands-on activities and more. If you want to join, check out their eventbrite page here.
In the event description they also write:
Bonus Sessions: A unique photo opportunity and an exclusive first touch and try of a yet to be announced Fuji release will be added in the coming weeks.
Thanks to Tony White from ozlightphoto.com.au for sharing this tidbit with us :) .
So within May 26, we will get a new Fuji gear… but what?
Here on FujiRumors we have rumored the core specs of the Fujifilm X-T3, we talked a lot about the Fujifilm GFX 50R, we even looked far ahead to the Fujifilm GFX 100S, but the most rumored camera at the moment (and hence probably the closest to come) is the Fujifilm X-T100… so let’s talk about it :).

Fujifilm just registered an unreleased camera with the code name “FF 180001”.
So what could it be?
Well, here on FujiRumors we rumored the Fujifilm X-T100 since back in September 2017 and we warned you that it will not come in the first quarter of 2018 (within March). However, the first quarter is now over, so maybe we might see in the next few months finally.
The Fujifilm X-T100 will be DSLR-styled Bayer sensor camera with EVF (similar to X-T20), and be more affordable than the current X-T20 (see all X-T100 rumors).
Another option is the X70 successor, which, as we reported here, should have a Bayer sensor, since the current 24MP X-Trans sensor (and the extra processing power required), just creates too many overheating problems in such a small camera body.
I will work on it now and give you guys an update as soon as I can.
In the meantime, read what nokishita, who spotted the registration, writes about it:
“The communication module installed in Fujifilm’s unreleased camera passed overseas certification agencies. Since it is a different radio part from X-E3 and X-H1, it is made by Zakuti just like X-A5.
The distance information to the antenna does not include a protruding part such as a penta part so much, so it will not be very helpful, but the width that will be less uneven appears to be around 121 mm.”

Communication module: TYPE 1 FJ

Distance to antenna
It took Iridient Developer a bit longer than Adobe to support the Fujifilm X-H1, because, as Aleksei recently said in here our Fujifilm X-H facebook group, Brian told him:
“The Fujifilm X-H1 has proven to require a lot more work than initially expected as they changed their lens correction metadata format with this new model. Unfortunately Fujifilm does not to supply me with any pre-release cameras or even early access to RAW files for their new models so I have to depend on my users.”
First off, Digital Rev just shared their Fujifilm X-A5 and XC 15-45 Hands-on Review.
Regarding the camera they say it feels plasticy. No surprise, though, and also no dealbreaker, since the X-A camera line sells better than any other camera brand in some Asian countries (yes, even better than Canon, Sony and Nikon).
They also talk about the Fujinon XC 15-45, and complaint about its performance in video mode.
And yet… the X-A5 (whose development has been outsourced by Fujifilm), will again sell strong.
NOTE: According to Rico Pfirstinger, all cameras are full compatible with the XC15-45 and no compatiblity update is needed
NOTE 2: The Fujifilm X-A3 and X-A20 got a firmware udpate for full compatibiliy with XC 15-45. Such an update is still missing for the X-A2, which has the same flippy screen of X-A5. I get requests by readers owning the X-A2 for Fujifilm to add support for it.
Until today, Fujifilm always did it like this: shortly before or right at the day of the official release of a new lens, Fujifilm delivered a firmware update to add lens compatibility to Fujifilm cameras.
However, the last updates back in February 2018 just added XC15-45 support for Fujifilm X-A10 and X-A3.
Now the camera is shipping and falling into hands of X-shooters worldwide… and still, I can’t see any new update at Fuji’s site.
Now, I assume that newer cameras come already with the proper firmware support for this lens, but what about older cameras? Believe it or not, dear Fujifilm, there are X-shooters out there who still own and use older cameras (like me with my X-T1), and we would like our cameras to support this lens too.
I hope Fujifilm will deliver soon a firmware compatibility update, and if not, then we would like an official statement where you tell us which cameras will support this lens and which ones not.
So guys, you know FujiRumors is Fujifilm’s by far favorite place for online feedback… so if you would like to see XC15-45 support also for your camera, then let Fujifilm know in the comments.
FUJIFILM TO SHOWCASE NEW AND INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS AT WPPI 2018
Featuring the latest additions to the X Series Line, INSTAX Instant Cameras & Film and Digital Printing Solutions
Valhalla, N.Y., February 23, 2018 – As the leader in photo imaging, FUJIFILM North America Corporation will showcase a comprehensive portfolio of products that offer photographers the highest performance —from capture to print—at the 2018 Wedding and Portrait Photography International Conference & Expo (WPPI) from February 26-28 at Booth #1121 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Back in February 13, Adobe released the Lightroom Classic CC 7.2, adding Fujifilm X-A5 and X-A20 support.
This was 2 days before the official announcement of the Fujiflm X-H1, so at that time, they did not mention X-H1 support.
However, after the announcement, they updated their camera support list, and included the Fujifilm X-H1. It also adds the Eterna film simulation profile.
