BREAKING: Next Fujinon X Mount Roadmap to Include Fujinon XF 18mmF1.4 WR

According to our trusted sources, Fujifilm will add a new XF18mm f/1.4 weather resistant prime lens to the upcoming new X mount roadmap.

Now please read carefully!

As you know, a top Japanese Fujifilm manager said there will be 4 new Fujinon X mount lenses released within February/March 2021, and FujiRumors has shared them all for you already.

I confirm that the lenses listed above are indeed the 4 new lenses that the manager was talking about, and hence the ones that will be officially announced by February/March 2021.

And I also confirm what I just published today: a new XF18mm f/1.4 will be added to the next X mount roadmap.

EXCLUSIVE: Fujifilm X-S10 Shape and Size Comparison with Fujifilm X-T4

Here is another rumor, exclusive for our wonderfully vivid and lively FujiRumors community.

I was chatting yesterday late at night with one of our sources. It was a very interesting talk, that went far beyond the X-S10 rumors.

Anyway… I told to the source, that me and many other mere mortal Fujifilm shooters following this blog, would be very curious to know how big the upcoming Fujifilm X-S10 is compared to the Fujifilm X-T4.

The source promised it can do something for us, to give us a clear idea about it, and just now I have received this sketch, where the red shape represents the Fujifilm X-S10 and the blue shape represents the Fujifilm X-T4.

And yes, of course the red shape is also an accurate representation of the Fujifilm X-S10. The viewfinder, the dials, the dimensions.

As you can see, Fujifilm managed to squeeze IBIS in a sensibly smaller body compared to the X-T4.

The Fujifilm X-S10 will be announced on October 15. As usual, there will be a non stop live blogging here on FujiRumors.

To read all Fujifilm X-S10 rumors, just search for X-S10 on FujiRumors (you’ll read the price, some additional specs, firmware features and more).

RUMOR: New Fujifilm X Lens Roadmap Coming Soon

According to a new anonymous source (that uses a nickname, thanks for that), Fujifilm is going to soon announce a new lens roadmap.

TO THE SOURCE: if you want, we can have a more direct and confidential talk via email (fujirumor@gmail.com). Would be great if we could. Otherwise no problem, thanks a lot already for the help today and for using a nickname, which helps me a lot already.

As you know, a top Japanese Fujifilm manager said there will be 4 new Fujinon X mount lenses within February 2021, and FujiRumors has already shared them all for you.

It’s unclear if there will be an update also for the G mount lens roadmap. But we have leaked Fujifilm’s internal long term G mount roadmap already.

Besides the already pre-announced Fujinon GF80mm f/1.7, here are the top 2 candidates to enter the G mount lens roadmap next:

Fujinon XF Wildlife Photography Lenses Needed, Base ISO 100, Firmware Wishes and More – FR-Readers Wishlist Corner

Here is another roundup of wishlist shared by the FR-community to me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com.

Previous Wishlist Episodes:

Because it touches the wish expressed by Michel, Willy and Kenneth, I invite you to check out also our big Fujinon XF wildlife photography survey and other long telephoto primes articles we have previously shared (list below).

Overall, there seems to be a strong wish by the FR-community for longer primes.

But we know the stellar Fujinon XF200mm f/2.0 did not sell well, and hence it’s obvious that Fujifilm is now a bit reluctant to invest further in long lenses.

But keep in mind, the XF200mmF2.0 comes with a 1.4x teleconverter designed specifically for this lens, which transforms the XF200mmF2 lens basically in a 280mmF2.8 lens. So, with 1 single lens, here is what you get:

  • XF 200mmF2.0 = full frame 280mmF2.8 (f/2.8 DOF equivalent)
  • XF 280mmF2.8 = full frame 420mmF4.2 (f/4.2 DOF equivalent)

If you want to, you can check out our previous “long telephoto primes” related articles.

I also got many wishes regarding future cameras, but since this roundup is already hefty enough, I will share the “camera-wishlist” at a later point.

FINALLY!!! Fujifilm X-S10 Full AUTO Mode will Capture also RAW files

LEFT: AUTO mode on X-T30 *** RIGHT: X-S10 mockup by FujiRumors (not real camera)
LEFT: AUTO mode on X-T30 *** RIGHT: X-S10 mockup by FujiRumors (not real camera)

Oh boy, I am complaining about this since at least two years already, and finally Fujifilm listened.

The issue?

When you shoot full AUTO, the camera records only JPEG files.

Some say this makes sense, as the AUTO mode is supposed to make it all for you and simplify your life.

And although I never shoot AUTO on my X-E3, it happens sometimes that I handle the camera to a friend or relative (or even to one of my little students). And since they are not familiar with photography, the AUTO switch comes in very handy.

The problem: it will write only JPEG files on the SD card. But even if it’s not me taking the pictures, it’s still my camera and my SD-Card, and I want always both, RAW and JPEG on my SD-card, as you never know, maybe there is some nice image there that could need a little tweak.

Also, here is another example a FR-reader made, and that shows how useful RAW capability in Full AUTO would be.

The FR-reader did set up the camera for long exposures, all full manual, and suddenly a beautiful bird came and rested shortly on a stone nearby. Without messing around with the settings, the FR-reader quickly switched the camera to AUTO and grabbed a picture of the bird before it flew away. And while in this case the Auto mode allowed him to capture the decisive moment, he would have loved to have the RAW file of that image too.

I strongly hope other Fujifilm cameras having the AUTO capabilities will get the AUTO-RAW capability via firmware update in near future. It would make the AUTO mode more useful for me.

And let’s hope they will adress also my other two big firmware complaints I have.

Fujifilm X-S10 with 26 Megapixel X-Trans Sensor

Well, I actually gave this for granted, that I did not even ask any of my sources about it.

But somehow I noticed that the comments were on fire lately, wondering if the Fujifilm X-S10 would have an X-Trans or a Bayer sensor.

Well guys, I have told you that the Fujifilm X-S10 will be a “mid-range” camera, and as all Fujifilm mid-range cameras, it will have an X-Trans sensor.

Only the entry level and very affordable Fujifilm X-A line and Fujifilm X-T*** line have a Bayer sensor.

Fujifilm X-S10: Fuji’s First Mid-Range Camera with a Deep Grip

According to our sources, the Fujifilm X-S10 will have a nice deep grip, which I know many of you will love to hear.

It will be Fuji’s first mid-range camera with a deep grip, as the X-E3 and the X-T30, but also the X-T200 and X-A7, have none to very small grips only.

The only other Fujifilm X series camera with a deep grip is the Fujifilm X-H1.
