The CP+ in Japan has just been canceled due to the coronavirus. You can read more here.
Also, a FR-reader informed me (thanks), that after many years, Fujifilm will not be at the WPPI wedding & portrait show in Las Vegas. I checked, and indeed they do not show up in the exhibitors list. There will, though, a Fujifilm rep at the B&C Camera booth.
I remind you that Fujifilm will skip Photokina, too.
Get ready to see Fujifilm less at big trade shows, and more on dedicated Fujifilm X Summit events.

Fujifilm has released firmware updates for several Fujifilm cameras and lenses. Full list below.
I still remember, when back in August 2017, I shared a rumor, that many of you thought is wrong, but it turned out correct: Fujifilm will remove the D-Pad from the Fujifilm X-E3.
Since then, many Fujifilm cameras saw the loss of the D-Pad:
Even the huge Fujifilm GFX100, that definitely has enough real estate to host a D-Pad, didn’t get one.
Well, I am happy to report, that the Fujifilm X-T4 will remain a welcome exception to this trend and keep the D-Pad, just as the X-T3 did.
The Fujifilm X-T4 will be announced February 25/26. You can find the precise X-T4 announcement time in your country here.

Back in November, Fujifilm X-T group member J. shared details he heared about the Fujifilm X-T4. You can see the full list here.
One of the features he gave us was 6K 60p video recording.
That rumor took off like crazy, and I saw many giving 6K for a fact already.
However, I have to tell you that this is not correct.
The Fujifilm X-T4 will shoot 4K video, but not 6K.
The Fujifilm X-T4 will be announced February 25/26. You can find the precise X-T4 announcement time in your country here.

The latest Fujicast podcast episode of Kevin Mullins and Neale James just went online.
It’s a special episode from the Fujifilm House of Photography in London with Fujifilm manager Andreas Georghiades.
The podcast is one hour long and you can listen to it here. In this article, we will focus on the Q&A with the Fujifilm manager.
And guess what?
Of course it starts with the Fujifilm full frame evergreen ;).
So the first question is, what is this obsession with APS-C? Full frame would be Fuji’s opportunity to capture the market.
How to stay competitive in the market?
One of the burning questions in the Fujifilm community, is if Sigma (and other third party lens manufacturers), will at some point in time offer Fujifilm X mount lenses.
Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki touched this topic a couple of times, and here is what he said among the others:
So it seems Sigma passed the ball to Fujifilm. It’s up to Fujifilm to offer cooperation. But Fuji’s official response is:
So, Fujifilm isn’t making things easier for Sigma, to offer X mount glass.
Now, in an interview published a couple of days ago, the Sigma CEO was asked the Fujifilm X mount lens question again. And his answer is as follows:
I am aware of this kind of demand from customers. One of our missions is to support as many systems as possible, so I’d like to support also Fujifilm X mount, but our engineering resources are limited, so we need to prioritize projects, depending on the demand from the customers. I’d like to make Fujifilm X mount lenses, but right now I have many other projects I need to prioritize.
It would be nice if Fujifilm would make life to Sigma easier, by sharing their protocols. But as the situation is now, I think we can put any dreams for Sigma X mount glass aside.
The only hope I see, is that Fujifilm hugely increases its market share (by at least 20% as we rumored here), and then Sigma might be motivated to go through the effort to reverse-engineer the lenses, just as Viltrox is doing with their X mount lenses.
Down below you can see the video, which starts at min. 5:10, so you don’t lose time to get to the point you want to hear :).
At the launch of the Fujifilm X100V, Fujifilm released lots of X100V promo videos, some of them made by their talented X photographers. One of those videos, though, raised a huge controversy, so much, that Fujifilm removed the video just a few hours after it went online.
However, here on FujiRumors, we shared a link where you can still find the video.
The video raised a massive debate, with currently over 730 comments in our original post. Is this a legit way to make street photography or is Tatsuo Suzuki’s style to intrusive and aggressive?
Over 4,000 people voted a survey on this subject, and you can see the results here. Spoiler: it’s an extremely divisive topic.
It’s not easy.
Even after 8 years of blogging and rumors, it’s not easy to keep up being able to share accurate information.
It’s always a puzzle. Every time.
But after the recent Fujifilm X Summit, where 100% of all our exclusive rumors have been confirmed, including the Fujifilm X-T4 announcement date, I really want to stop just a second the usual rumors and news flow, to express a MASSIVE thanks to everybody, who is helping me out with the rumors.
And it doesn’t matter if trusted, new or anonymous. This thank you goes to everybody, who ever shared correct information with FR.
In January also new sources (who use the rumor box), helped me out quite a bit. I can’t contact you back, but also to you, a big thanks.
You all sailed me with accuracy through the stormy rumor waters, helping me to find the right path in the thick rumor jungle.
Feel free to keep it up, so together we can keep up injecting fun and excitement into the worldwide Fujifilm community.
And of course…
… if anyone out there would like to help me out with the rumors, feel free to contact me at fujirumor@gmail.com, via rumor box, or via social media personal message.
With all that said…
… get ready, as more rumors are coming ;).
