Well, looking at the results of our most desired Fujifilm camera 2020 survey, the Fujifilm X-H2 comes out on top of the list.
In fact, many hoped to see an X-H2 already under our 2019 Christmas tree.
However, as FujiRumors always told you, the X-H2 was never planed to hit the market in 2019, and to my knowledge there won’t be one even in 2020.
So what, did Fujifilm kill the X-H line?
Absolutely not!
In fact, I say, repeat and underline again: Fujifilm has plans for a Fujifilm X-H2. Just give them a bit more time, ok?
I hope this helps to make you feel better.
In our survey, Fujifilm X-H2 is very closely followed by the Fujifilm X-T4 and the upcoming Fujifilm X100V.
On the forth position, we find the Fujifilm X-T3s, basically an X-T3 with IBIS.
Now, we will surely get the Fujifilm X100V in February and we won’t get the Fujifilm X-H2 in 2020. And what about the Fujifilm X-T3 successor?
Well, we already told you in our future cameras release timeline, that, if Fujifilm respects their past refresh rate, the successor to the Fujifilm X-T3 (which is still selling strong and top recommended by DPR) could be a possibility for 2020, but it remains to see if it really comes out, and which form and shape it would eventually take.
Also worth to notice: only 3% of FR-readers want a full frame Fujifilm.
What did FujiRumors vote?
Well, I gave a vote to the Fujifilm X-H2 and to the Fujifilm GFX-T, which is something like the Fujifilm X-G mock-up that Fuji officially displayed to the press. That camera, I am sure, would be a home run for the the GFX system.
Anyway, whatever comes, and whatever will be under our 2020 Christmas tree, just follow FujiRumors to find it out before anyone else ;).

As you might know, Fujifilm has currently two registered and unreleased cameras
To my knowledge, the FF190005 is the code name for the Fujifilm X100V, which, as we exclusively rumored already here, should be announced in February.
So the FF190003 is another Fujifilm camera, and previous menu screen leaks of that camera, indicated January 17 as release date.
But, as you can see above, now Nokishita spotted here a request by Fujifilm to postpone the release of marketing material related to the FF190003 to January 24.

As you know, I am a teacher, and usually it’s me, who has to judge and give votes to others.
But not today, as it’s time for our yearly 2019 rumors check, and to see if I did my homework well or not.
Also, there will be an accuracy rating of those rumors, that still could not be verified.
Keep in mind, there could be further rumors before the end of the year, in which case I will update this list!
Ready? Cool, so let’s start,
But be warned: I will be incredible severe to myself, as I will include in the wrong rumor section, rumors that were actually correct at the time of sharing, but just turned out wrong because Fujifilm changed plans.
It’s the case for example of the new lens roadmaps. In fact, just a few days after our rumor, top Fujifilm manager confirmed here, that indeed there would have been new roadmaps in 2019, but 2019 is now ending, and nothing came. So I was wrong, but so was the top Fujifilm manager.

DPReviewTV has published their 2020 resolutions for every camera company, of course including Fujifilm.
Regarding Fujifilm, they say:
When asked if Fujifilm should merge X-T and X-H line, most of you guys voted you prefer to keep both lines well separated, and I believe that would make sense, for the reasons I explained in this article.
What I believe would make sense, though, is to give us a Fujifilm X-T4 with IBIS and maybe a bigger battery. Do that, and you’ll make tons of Fujifilm shooters happy.
I am not sure about the Fujifilm X-A7 flippy screen, though, as this would make it tilt in the wrong direction, when shooting portraits. Maybe that’s more something for the Fujifilm X-H2.
Neopan 400 is a much loved film, as you can see from these customer reviews. So make it happen, Fuji!
As recently measured, Fujifilm has currenty the worse face/eye AF. But I would not worry about that too much. A major improvement is coming via firmware, soon.
You can see the full video above, where, among the others, the recommend Sony to steal Fujifilm colors ;).
Don’t forget also…
Recently Viltrox disclosed the official price in Chinese Yuan of the Viltrox 33mm f/1.4… and it’s a very aggressive one!
Now we have new images of the Viltrox 33mmm f/1.4 and Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 mounted on the Fujifilm X-T3. You can see them below.
The lenses were originally scheduled for release in 2019, but as we reported here, there will be a delay surely for the 33 and 56. The only lens that could still make it for 2019, is the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4, but there is a big “maybe” here.
The latest specs and images about all three upcoming Viltrox lenses can be found in this article.
And don’t forget to:
Another Fujifilm year is ending.
With 4 cameras and 4 lenses released in 2019, Fujifilm has a little bit slowed down, if we compare it to the Fujifilm year 2018 (7 new cameras and 6 lenses) and to the Fuji year 2017 (4 cameras and 8 lenses).
But it was definitely quality over quantity.
And then there were these lenses:

DPReview just named 3 Fujifilm cameras among the top 20 cameras of this decade (2010 – 2019).
BEST GEAR OF 2019
DPReviewTV already made their best of 2019 gear list here.
But these days many others make their own lists, too, such as Philip Bloom, Tony Northrup and more.
So I thought it might be nice to make a “best of 2019” roundup.
SPOILER: Fujifilm GFX100 grabs quite some attention, Fujifilm X-T30 wins too, and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 is wtf camera of the year.
Ready?
