Today we have a rather important update regarding the fixed lens Fujifilm GFX camera.
Our trusted sources have told us that the fixed lens Fujifilm GFX will be “about the size” of the Fujifilm X-Pro3.
NOTE: our sources said “about” the size, not “exactly” the size. This means there will be a size difference, but it won’t be that big. On the contrary, they will be quite close in size.
Amazon US is currently offering a $399 rebate on the Fujifilm GFX100SII. The coupon code discount will be applied at checkout.
At the moment, neither BHphoto here nor Adorama here are offering this rebate. It is also not listed by Fujifilm in the list of official deals. So it seems to be available at Amazon US only.

As you know, I am a happy owner of the Fujinon GF50mmF3.5.
Well, happy until a certain point.
Because as I wrote in a complaint post here, the firmware for the GF50mmF3.5 had been suspended and remained so for many months (now years).
I did moan about it here on FujiRumors, but nothing happened.
Nothing until today! :)
Because FINALLY Fujifilm has released a new firmware for the previously suspended GF50mmF3.5 as well as the GF35-70mm.
And not only that.
Also the GF500mmF5.6 as well as every single Fujifilm GFX camera got firmware updates.
In the X series world, we get firmware updates for the Fujifilm X-T4 and the Fujifilm X-T50.
ATTENTION: Please update first the GFX camera firmware (no lens attached) and only after that you should update the GF50mm or GF35-70mm firmware.
＜Important Notice>
In the unlikely event that firmware update process for any of the above interchangeable lenses is interrupted and the message below appears, please claim “Repair Service Center” in your country to upgrade the firmware. You can read the full firmware instruction here.
Note-1：The followings are messages when the firmware update is interrupted (Messages vary depending on the model).

The Fujinon XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 is so far in stock almost everywhere such as BHphoto here, Amazon here, Adorama here and Nuzira here.
Fujifilm’s new “kit” lens comes with higher end features like weather sealing and internal zoom. And it’s definitely sharp enough to resolve all 40MP.
I did not report about it in a dedicated article, because this was part of what was included in the Fujifilm GFX100S II press release. But given the emails I am getting I thought I dedicate it an own article.
So yes, Fujifilm is going to bring C2PA / CAI content authenticity to X and GFX cameras via firmware update to several cameras in future. C2PA / CAI is an initiative formed to address the widespread issue of digital content manipulation by establishing standards for certifying the source and authenticity of media.

Fujifilm has updated some of its software to support the new Fujifilm GFX100SII and the Fujifilm X-T50.
Camerasize has added the latest Fujifilm gear to their database (although they call it the XT-50 there, so use that term to make your own comparisons).
I will share three comparisons in this article. You can see them below.
