How Fujifilm Could Turn the Imminent X Summit into an EPIC PARTY also for Fujifilm X Shooters (Hope, not Rumor)

The Fujifilm X summit starting soon will definitely be a GFX party day.

And look, it’s just fair like this. Look at what Fujifilm gave us in the last 1+ year:

  • X-T5, X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20, XF150-600, XF18-120, XF30mm Macro, XF 56 MKII
    vs
  • GFX50SII

So yes, it was high time for a GFX party and looking back X shooter should just accept this happily.

However, there is one thing that Fujifilm could do, rather easily, to turn the next GFX-centric X summit into an epic day also for Fujifilm X shooters.

What is it?

Well, we know that the Fujifilm GFX100 II will come with new features not even available on flagship X series model until now.

We are speaking of:

  • new film simulation REALA
  • touch-to-track in video autofocus
  • waveform monitor
  • anamorphic mode

Sunday Speculation: How Much do You Think the Fujifilm GFX100 II will Cost? – VOTE NOW

Do you have time this Sunday to speculate a bit around?

Yes?

Nice… so the question is this one:

How much do YOU think the Fujifilm GFX100 II will cost?

I recommend to take a look at the rumored specs below, and then let us know how much you think it will cost by voting the survey.

Why the range from $4,000 to $10,000?

Well, I’ve simply looked the price of all GFX cameras that are still available on the market and decided to start the survey at the price of the most affordable one, the GFX50SII at $4,000 and end it with the most expensive one, the GFX100 at $10,000.

If you want to go beyond that range, you can still vote for “less than $4,000” or “more than $10,000”.

BUT KEEP IN MIND:

This is a survey on how much YOU THINK it will cost based on the leaked specs, and not on how much YOU HOPE it will cost.

My Best and Most Realistic Guess as far as the Fujifilm GFX100 II Price Goes (Body Only) is...

Fujifilm GFX100 Successor about the Size of GFX100S but With Angled Top Plate

We already told you that the Fujifilm GFX100 successor will no longer have an integrated battery grip, but come with an optional battery grip.

The main benefit of this decision made by Fujifilm is that it will be considerably smaller than the current GFX100.

In fact, according to our trusted sources, the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement will have about the same size of the Fujifilm GFX100S.

But to be clear: it won’t have exactly the size of the GFX100S nor use the same body shared by the Fujifilm GFX100S and GFX50SII.

In fact, it will be a new body with an interesting design choice: according to our sources, it will have an angled top plate. Don’t ask me more about it because “angled top plate” is all I know, too.

Don’t Worry: Fujifilm GFX100 Successor Still with Detachable and Tiltable EVF (unlike GFX50S Successor)

One of the features many loved when Fujifilm launched their original Fujifilm GFX50S, was that thanks to the EVF-TL1 and EVF-GFX, the camera had detachable and tillable EVF.

Sadly its successor, the (currently heavily discounted) Fujifilm GFX50SII, has lost this feature.

And the (also discounted) Fujifilm GFX100S did not even came with the tilt and detachable EVF, making quite some GFX lovers worry that Fujifilm had given up on this feature.

Well, for lovers of that feature, I have a good news for you today.

According to our trusted sources (thanks!!!), the Fujifilm GFX100 successor will retain the “tilt-and-detach” EVF feature.

I guess it’s time to start our rumor recap:

RUMOR: No Fujifilm X100V Successor in 2023 (X200, X100VI or X100W-hatever)

Everything is Possible (almost)

FujiRumors broke the rumors:

But we also know one more thing. Fujifilm two registrations filed so far: the Fujifilm FF230001 and FF230002.

Now, assuming that one of the two will be the Fujifilm GFX100 replacement, this leaves all possible options open for the second one.

Well, not really all options. I mean, I simply can’t see a Fujifilm X-H3 or Fujifilm X-H3s coming in September, as those cameras are hardly 1 year old (or less).  And also not the Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-S30.

But other than that, we can hope for:

  • a Fujifilm X-T5s with 26MP stacked sensor of X-H2S
  • a Fujifilm X-Pro4 maybe with some curious solutions as many hope for example a monochrome sensor
  • a Fujifilm X-E5 which is not a dead line according to Fujifilm managers
  • the long awaited Fujifilm X-T40
  • the much wished Fujifilm X80 or Fujifilm XF20
  • the revival of Fuji’s entry level cameras with the Fujifilm X-T300, Fujifilm X-A8, Fujifilm X-A30 or Fujifilm X-M2
  • less likely in my opinion the Fujifilm GFX100S successor, Fujifilm GFX50R successor or Fujifilm GFX50SII successor, as I can’t see Fuji launching two GFX cameras on the same day (they never did that in the past, but never say never)

And in fact, I asked you to vote on which camera you’d like to get on September 12 and you can see the results here.

X100V successor is NOT possible

At this point you’ve noticed something: there is no Fujifilm X100V successor (X200, X100VI, X100 whatever it will be called) in the list.

Why?

Well, because despite being one of your top wished cameras (second only to another camera), and despite fake rumors already being shared about the X100V to come on September 12, I can now tell you with 110% certainty that there will not be any Fujifilm X100V replacement coming in 2023.

Trust me on this guys. No X100V successor in 2023.

I guess Fujifilm has no hurry at all to come out with a successor, given the fact, explained by Fujifilm managers, that if the world would stop to order X100V today, it would still take them 3 months to be able to ship all X100V orders placed until yesterday.

Seen from this perspective, the biggest problem of the Fujifilm X100VI (or whatever) is the terrific success of the X100V.

Feeling Lucky?

“I feel lucky and will click the links to see if the X100V is in stock” :)

Fujifilm X Summit on September 12: What Camera are You Hoping for to Come? VOTE NOW

So, we just leaked the date of the next Fujifilm X Summit, which will happen on September 12.

Now I am curious to know what you guys are hoping for to come.

That’s why I have now launched a survey that includes plausible, less plausible and borderline impossible options.

I’ll not include 110% impossible cameras, which would be for example a Fujifilm X-H3 or Fujifilm X-H3s, as those cameras are hardly 1 year old (or less). Or the Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-S30.

What we will inlcude are the Fujifilm X-T5s (X-T5 with 26MP stacked sensor of X-H2S), Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm X-T40, Fujifilm X100V successor (X200, X100VI, X100 whatever), Fujifilm X80, Fujifilm XF20, Fujifilm X-T300, Fujifilm X-A8, Fujifilm X-A30, Fujifilm X-M2, Fujifilm GFX100 successor, Fujifilm GFX100S successor, Fujifilm GFX50R successor and Fujifilm GFX50SII successor.

I will give you two options to vote on, because Fujifilm has so far registered two yet to be released cameras.

Have fun voting :)

On September 12 I would like to Get the Following Cameras (max 2 votes)

Fujifilm GFX100S Bug Fix Firmware 2.01 Released, but Some Now Prefer This Workaround

Fujifilm has finally released the Fujifilm GFX100S firmware fix they promised us a couple of days ago.

The curious thing about this bug: people were forced to use a workaround for a while, and I know that some fellow GFX100S shooters, who applied the workaround, now actually stick with it as they find it more convenient that keeping the button pressed to change exposure compensation.

So, not all the bad comes to hurt, at least not for those, who now stick with the workaround solution.

Down below you find all the firmware details and download links.

When my Old XF23mmF1.4 Beat Sony Full Frame and other Wonderful Moments (but now Welcome my New XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR)

It’s Here

It’s never easy to let go gear you used and loved a lot. Gear like my good old Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R for example.

But now the time has come.

I’ve just received the new Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R LM WR and I’ve explained the reason why I bought it here already.

The Magic of Making Money by Buying Gear ;)

I bought the lens at Amazon IT here, as they had a better price than my local store and are also qualified for the Fujifilm cashback.

Convincing my wife of this investment went like this:

  1. I don’t need to pay for the lens, because I am paying it with the money I made from the X-T4 sale
  2. there is a sweet deal on the new XF23mmF1.4
  3. by buying the new XF23mmF1.4 I can get rid of the old XF23mm and make even more money
  4. I’ve booked a table for 2 for dinner at a fancy restaurant tomorrow. Yes, only for 2! It will be our first dinner without our son after 2+ years. Grandma is informed, she will watch after our son

This tells us one thing: photography is definitely an expensive hobby when you build up your system, but it gets much cheaper once you can fund new gear by selling old one.

Remember the Good

But I don’t let go my good old Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 with a light heart, as I had many great moments with it. Let me name a few “episodes”.

Beating Sony ;)

Vote the Top Fujifilm GFX Camera You Want in 2023

Just as we did for the top X series camera wish for 2023, we now launch the same survey for the GFX series.

Sure, there are not so many options in this case, since at the moment we have 3 different camera bodies: the GFX100 with integrated battery grip, the GFX100S/50SII and the GFX50R.

And considering that Fujifilm has even stated that they no longer see the need for a GFX50R successor (although later on other managers expressed their wish for that line to continue), we risk to remain with even less options in future.

But this is our space. Here we can wish whatever we want. So I will add a few options that are not impossible for Fujifilm to manufacture (leaving out the modular GFX, as that one needs the global shutter, and that seems to be still far away to become a regular feature in digital cameras).

So we will vote on the following cameras, assuming Fujifilm would use the latest generation sensors (which are the 26MP stacked and 40MP non-stacked sensors we find on our APS-C cameras, just the bigger MF version of it)

  • Fujifilm GFX100S with stacked sensor and PSAM Dial
  • Fujifilm GFX150S with non-stacked 150MP sensor and PSAM Dial
  • Fujifilm GFX100T with stacked sensor and RETRO Dials (basically an X-T* with GFX sensor, as shown by Fuji’s own mock-up here)
  • Fujifilm GFX150T with non-stacked 150MP sensor and RETRO Dials (basically an X-T* with GFX sensor, as shown by Fuji’s own mock-up here)
  • Fujifilm GFX100R with stacked sensor (rangefinder styled)
  • Fujifilm GFX150R with non-stacked 150MP sensor (rangefinder styled)
  • Fujifilm GFX100 with stacked sensor and integrated battery grip
  • Fujifilm GFX150 with non-stacked 150MP sensor and integrated battery grip

In 2023 I want the following Fujifilm GFX camera
