Time to make a summary of all the future X-series cameras that we rumored here on FujiRumors.
At the bottom you will find a poll, where you can tell us, which of the 10 rumored Fujifilm products you are looking forward the most.
Ok guys… after the major announcement a few days ago, it’s time to see what is left, and what was correct (or not).
but first….
Huge Thanks!
Fujirumors is not only a great source for Fujifilm to get feedback about their products and early feedback thanks to rumors, but also a place that keeps the whole community excited and informed. And none of this would be possible without everybody, who helped me with the rumors and the news. Huge thanks to all of you for guiding me safly through the stormy Fuji waters.
The Facts
What To Expect From Fujifilm…
… and 2 Notes
The Ultimate Fuji X: I know that this camera was in Fuji’s plans, and I know they scrapped it in favor or the Fujifilm X-T2S (which is basically an “ultimate X light”). However, I decided to already move the ultimate X rumors in the wrong rumor section, because I need a public statement of Fujifilm that such plans existed to share it as a correct rumor (as it happened with the X-Pro1s)… and also because otherwise the wrong rumor section would have been empty :)
Fujinon 33mmF1: In January, I reported that the 33/1 has been scrapped. As a consequence, I launched a huge lens request poll, where the 33/1 became the most voted prime lens by the FR-community. The results might have convinced Fujifilm to think about it again, as a rumor recently suggested. Hence you will find 2 rumors down below… the one that says the 33/1 has been canceled, and the one that says there is a little bit hope again.
Hey X-folks…
I really hope you had (and are still having) a fantastic summer.
I hope you could travel, see new cities, taste new food, climb some mountains, play with the waves in the sea, photograph something that inspired you… and especially I hope you had time for your families, friends… and for yourself.
But also during this summer, FujiRumors worked restlessly on the rumors and news… and it was so busy, that you might have missed a few rumors and news during your summer break.
So I thought it could be useful to give you guys an overview of what happened over the summer in the Fuji World… also in the hope this can somehow mitigate your pain for going back at work… at least a bit… because AWESOME FUJI TIMES are coming :)
have a GREAT Sunday,

BIG DAY: Fujikina Announcements on September 7
Some of the Rumors shared in July / August
Some General News shared in July / August
FLASH News & Rumors
According to rumors surfaced on the web, Vivo is cooperating with Fujifilm for the next Vivo X200 Ultra smartphone.
The phone will use Zeiss optics, and as far as I understand, Fujifilm will provide the imaging software in order to get “more professional results” through image quality improvements and better color reproduction.
Now, I have no idea how reliable these rumors are. But if true, then Vivo has shown lots of wisdom ;).
Anyway…
We remind you that Fujifilm patented its own foldable smartphone, and we reported about it here.
And yes, software can play a significant part in the image quality results. In fact, it was Fuji’s software that convinced them to go with GFX, as we told you here.

DxO PureRAW 5 has just been launched and it introduces, among the others, local adjustments and a new redesigned interface.
Learn more about DxO PureRAW 5 here.
DxO PureRAW 5 will be available on April 15, but if you pre-order DxO PureRAW 5 now, you will get a copy of DxO PureRAW 4 in the meantime.
Also introduced with DxO PureRAW 5: DeepPRIME XD3 X-Trans Beta. DxO writes:
Fujifilm fans will be delighted to see what’s included. X-Trans images have never looked this good
I also went though the launch material of DxO and noticed three before/after images taken with Fujifilm gear. For your convenience I have uploaded them on my Dropbox here.
Especially the X-H2S before/after looks quite impressive.
Get DxO here:
The Fujinon XF16.55mmF2.8 R LM WR II is now in stock at BHphoto here and Adorama here.
I got reports from readers of it being in stock also at Amazon here, but so far I can’t find them, so probably the lens was in stock just very shortly and just sold out quickly again.
Not available at the moment at Moment and Nuzira.
Luca Petralia has a great video about it, which I will share below.
BHphoto has launched its 3 days only Mega Deal Zone.

Time to check how accurate our rumors were in 2024 and get an outlook on the remaining rumors for 2025 (and beyond) with reliability ranking.
As usual, I will be brutal and merciless in my rumor accuracy rating.
How brutal?
Well, here are two examples.
I told you the X100VI would be basically same in size of X100V despite having IBIS. The difference is 1mm. Well, turns out it is 2mm thicker. So while it is substantially an accurate rumor, I list it as wrong.
Also, we misunderstood a source regarding the X100VI silver color. We needed only 3 hours to clarify this misunderstanding and correct it. But still, for 3 hours only, an inaccurate info was online.
WIth that said, here is how things went:
Unless the rumor of the century drops today and leads to an unprecedented spike in traffic, then we are basically done with 2024 and we can look back at which were the most read articles in 2024.
Did FujiRumors get it right?
I am surprised to see such a high interest for the Fujifilm X-M5.
A bit less surprising is to see film simulation content on the top of the ranking, especially with Classic Cuban Neg, which has quickly become a Fujifilm users favorite.
This article of 2022 still gets great views, too.
I hope you enjoyed checking out FujiRumors in 2024. And if you want, stick around also in 2025, because I have the feeling it could be a very interesting year.
Love you guys!
