I recently wrote an article, where I list 10 attacks on Fujifilm that do not make any sense.
In that article, I promised that I would also write an article about the exact opposite, meaning sharing a list of critiques on Fujifilm that I totally understand and I agree with.
You can find it down below.
And of course, feel free to add your own critiques on Fujifilm in the comments down below.
A limited number of Fujifilm GFX100S cameras is now in stock at Adorama here. So far they always sold out rapidly and stores struggled to get back stock, so if you want one, it might be better to grab it right now.
As a happy owner of the Fujifilm GFX100S myself, I can only say that if when you press the shutter button, all you want is the best possible image quality, then look no further, the GFX100S is what will satisfy you. I only miss the X-T alike dials on it, which is why I am stunned, blown away and sincerely admire the GFX100S, but I can’t love it the same way I love my X-T4* and X-E3.
The situation looks much better for the Fujifilm GFX50SII, which is available pretty much everywhere.

Key features:
Down below you’ll find the product description, some charts, the compatibility list and the link to the Samyang 12mm f/2 product page.
Also, you’ll find a first hands-on review and sample images.
Here is what is happening in these days.
Since the announcement of the new Sony A7IV, I am receiving lots of emails and also comments here on FujiRumors, pressing me to share more Fujifilm X-H2 rumors.
So let me say a few quick things:
First: I can share rumors only when I either have them or I have permission to share them. So if anyone out there would like to help me to put fire in the Fujifilm community with some X-H2 rumors, then feel free to contact me either via email at fujirumor@gmail.com or via PM on our social media. Also the rumor box is always there for you. If you use it, feel free to give yourself a nickname.
Second: I can confirm that the Fujifilm X-H2 price tag should not be higher and possibly be even lower than $2,500.
So is this a good price tag or is it too expensive?
Considering that the new Sony A7IV costs $2,500, one might think that the rumored Fujifilm X-H2 pricing is too close to the one of the Sony A7IV.
But here is the thing: the Fujifilm X-H2 can’t be really compared to the Sony A7IV. In fact, as Fujifilm itself proudly announced back at the Fujifilm X summit, the next generation Fujifilm cameras will feature a stacked BSI sensor. And as we know, the Sony A7IV has a non-stacked BSI sensor, basically the same technology we find in the $1,699 Fujifilm X-T4.
So you got the point: the Fujifilm X-H2 should be compared to other stacked sensor cameras, such as the Sony A9II, the Canon R3 and the Sony A1. So let’s do it now:
So you see that the other stacked sensor option out there on the market are at least 2K+ more expensive.
And if you look for 8K in a mirrorless camera, then here are your options:
So also in this case, the Fujifilm X-H2 will be at least $1,500 more affordable than competing 8K cameras.
There is no way around it: the sensor is a very expensive (if not the most expensive) component of a camera. For example, Fujifilm paid $2,000 for the older 50MP sensor in the original GFX50S). So, the smaller the sensor, the more affordable you can make the camera.
And as I wrote in a recent article called “top 10 attacks on Fujifilm that don’t make sense“, you simply can pack more specs for less money in an APS-C camera over a Full Frame camera. And this will be the case also with the Fujifilm X-H2, which offers a stacked sensor at a price full frame can’t not even nearly match.
Now keep all this in mind when, in the survey down below, I ask you what would be the right pricing according to you for the Fujifilm X-H2.

DxO has just announced Beta support for Fujifilm cameras sporting an X-Trans sensor with the new DxO PhotoLab 5 and DxO FilmPack 6 (launch discount available).
Down below you’ll find the official press releases.
The supported Fujifilm X-Trans cameras so far are:
All DxO Software
A few days ago tons of Fujifilm cameras received firmware updates, but the Fujifilm X-S10 was not among them.
Well, now Fuji cached up and released Fujifilm X-S10 firmware 2.10. Down below all the details.
Among the others is adds support for the brand new Fujifilm Instax Link Wide printer and the older Instax Mini Link printer.
Earlier today Fujifilm dropped a bunch of firmware updates, some more substantial, some just bug fixes. You can see the full list here.
The biggest changes come for the Fujifilm GFX100S and Fujifilm GFX100, which get Blackmagic RAW support.
This required Fujifilm to update the Owner’s manuals for those two cameras.
But there are firmware updates also for Fujifilm X-T4, X-T3, X-H1, X-T30, X-E4, X-Pro3, X100V, Fujifilm GFX50S and Fujifilm GFX50R. Make sure to check out all the details and download the latest firmware at our dedicated article here.
And even though I am not into video with my Fujifilm GFX100S, I will update my camera anyway, because who knows what Fujifilm fixed with that “fix of minor bugs” phrase. Sometimes they fix major bugs actually.
Don’t ask me why they do it. It’s a great news if Fujifilm fixes a major bug. No need to hide it behind a generic “minor bug fix” phrase.

FUJIFILM X Series and GFX System Digital Camera Control SDK Ver.1.22 compatible with FUJIFILM GFX50S II is published.
The Fujifilm digital camera control software development kit was launched back in April here.
Criticizing and attacking Fujifilm is quite popular on the internet, and down below I will talk about possible reasons why it is like this.
Sometimes these critiques are justified, but sometimes I feel these attacks are unjustified.
Let’s talk about it now.
The original Fujifilm NP-W235 battery is now discounted at AmazonUS here (save 14%). It works with Fujifilm X-T4, GFX100S and GFX50SII.
At the end of the day, the original batteries probably remain the best pick.
I have had great experience with third party batteries, but just until a few days ago.
In fact, I was using my lovely Fujifilm X-E3 with my so far favorite third party Patona battery, and when I tried to swap out batteries, the Patona did not slide out anymore. For some reason, it did swell, and I had to fiddle around to get it out. So far something like that never happened to me with any original Fujifilm battery. Maybe I will post a picture of that later on on my Instagram. But I think you got what I mean.
So, after years of great service, the Patona failed on me. And yet, I feel I can’t complain anyway, as the price is just so much more affordable, that I feel fine if it does not last as long as the original Fujifilm batteries.
