Fujifilm X-T6 Coming Second Half 2026 – And What About X-Pro4, X-H3/S, X-T60, X-S30 and Rest of 6th-Gen Wave?

I shared the rumor that the Fujifilm X-T6 will come in the second half of 2026.

Now, many have been skeptical and said this can’t be possible.

Why?

Because, if we look at the refresh rate of…

… we can see that even taking the historic slowest refresh rate for X-T* cameras, we should have gotten an X-T6 in August 2025 already.

Hence, a Fujifilm X-T6 release in the second half of 2026 would be extraodrinarily, almost impossibly, slow.

But… and this is what I forgot to tell you in my previous article… this information comes from trusted sources. So I can only confirm what I wrote already.

And now I need to answer the question that inevitably popped-up: what about the Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-H3, Fujifilm X-H3S, Fujifilm X-S30, Fujifilm X-T60, Fujifilm X-E6, Fujifilm GFX100 III and the rest of the 6th generation cameras?

So here is where I have to be very clear – and you should read carefully:

I do not know if the Fujifilm X-T6 will be the first camera to feature the 6th generation platform or if there will be other 6th gen. cameras coming maybe in the first half of 2026.

I will try my best to find the answer for you… but it certainly would help if somebody could drop me hint, 100% anonymously via rumor box or Signal chat, or via email at fujirumor@gmail.com or personal message on social media.

Leaked Fujinon XC 13-33mm F3.5-6.3 – Surprising Specs and the First XC Lens to Truly Tempt Me!

We can now share the main specs of the upcoming Fujinon XC 13-33mm F3.5-6.3 OIS.

And we are going to compare them to the XC 15-45mm F3.5-5.6.

There are a couple of nice surprises: the XC13-33mm is more compact, lighter, yet has a more sophisticated lens design (hence likely a better image quality). It comes with 9 rounded aperture blades instead of 7 (better bokeh?). It also has a more powerful optical image stabilization and a mechanical zoom instead of a powerzoom. I also like that the minimum focus distance is fixed at 20cm through the entire range.

That’s quite a nice set of improvements!

Below you can see the specs comparison.

I guess for many this could be an ideal ultra-portable kit zoom lens for many X-M5, X-E5 and X-T30III or X-T50 owners.

This is actually the first XC lens that has truly caught my interest and I can’t wait to finally see it unveiled on October 23 at 1AM New York time.

If the image quality is good, it could be an ultra compact alternative to my XF10-24mmF4.

I feel like Fujifilm has made lots of correct choices when it comes to developing the XC13-33mmF3.5-6.3.

Don’t forget: we will have a nice live blog only on FujiRumors.com ;).

But just out of curiosity, I will also share the estimated specs that Fujifilm itself mentioned in what some (erroneously) consider the hidden Fujifilm X mount lens roadmap:

  • Affordable Wide Zoom Lens – XC Lineup
    – Size 40-50mm
    – 60-70mm diameter
    – weight 130-170g

We can see that Fujifilm made the final lens even smaller and lighter than they initially estimated.

From Newcomer to Legend? Fujifilm X-E5 Skyrockets in FujiRumors Ownership Rankings

A while ago we tried to evaluate the success of the brand new Fujifilm X-E5 by launching a survey on which camera the FujiRumors community owns.

8,279 people dropped a total of 17,894 votes, and here are the results.

  1. X-T5 = 13%
  2. X100VI = 7%
  3. X-T3 = 7%
  4. X-T2 = 5%
  5. X-E5 = 5%
  6. X-T4 = 4%
  7. X-H2 = 4%
  8. X-Pro2 = 4%
  9. X-H2S = 4%
  10. X-T1 = 3%
  11. X-T30/X-T30II = 3%
  12. X-E3 = 3%
  13. X-Pro3 = 3%
  14. X100V = 3%
  15. X-E2/X-E2S = 3%
  16. X-H1 = 3%
  17. X-E1 = 2%
  18. X-T50 = 2%
  19. X-S20 = 2%
  20. X-E4 = 2%
  21. X-T20 = 2%
  22. X-S10 = 2%
  23. X-Pro1 = 2%
  24. X100F = 2%
  25. X-M5 = 1%
  26. X100 = 1%
  27. X70/XF10 = 1%
  28. X10/X20/X30 = 1%
  29. X100S = 1%
  30. X-T10 = 1%
  31. X100T = 1%
  32. X-M1 = 1%
  33. X half = 1%
  34. X-A1/A2/A3/A5/A7/A10/A20 = 1%
  35. X-T100 = 0%*
  36. XQ1/XQ2 = 0%*
  37. X-T200 = 0%*
  38. XF1 = 0%*
  39. X-S1 = 0%*
    *denotes 0,4% or less

So, in less than 1 month, the Fujifilm X-E5 has already surpassed legends like the Fujifilm X-T4 and caught up with one of Fujifilm’s most sold cameras ever, the Fujifilm X-T2. And right now it is just 2% points away from catching up with the Fujifilm X-T3 and X100VI.

If we were to group it in lines, these are the results.

  1. X-T* = 32.21%
  2. X100* = 15.20%
  3. X-E* = 14.61%
  4. X-H* = 9.98%
  5. X-Pro* = 8.56%
  6. X-T** = 8.41%
  7. X-S** = 4.18%
  8. X-M* = 2.25%
  9. X70 / XF10 = 1.24%
  10. X10/X20/X30 = 1.18%
  11. X half = 0.64%
  12. X-A* = 0.56%
  13. Other = 0.51%
  14. X-T100/200 = 0.47%

The Fujifilm X-E5 has pushed the X line close to the X100 line on the 3rd spot of the most owned Fujifilm camera lines by FR-readers.

Is this a success?

That’s too early to say. But it is a solid start, actually the best start of any X-E camera so far (and by far). And this makes me confident in the future of this camera line.

Last Hours Before Fujifilm’s Second Price Increase Kicks In – But Amazon Still Sells Some Gear at Pre-Tariff Prices

X-T5 going to cost $1,999 starting August 30
X-T5 going to cost $1,999 starting August 30

These are the last hours before the second Fujifilm price increase.

Fujifilm has officially declared to various news outlets that on August 30 there will be further price increases. According to information we have gathered, the list of price increases should be the one you can see below.

Interestingly, some Fujifilm X and GFX gear on Amazon is still listed at the pre–August 1 pricing. While certain items have already sold out, a few are still available at the original lower price—at least for now.

  • XF 8mmF3.5 – $869 ($899 regular price – $799 pre-tariffs)
  • XF 16mmF2.8 – 11% discount ($399 instead of $449)
  • XF70-300mm* – $799 (currently $899 – was $799 pre-tariff)
    *note: the XF70-300 is sold by third party sellers
  • GF120mmF4* – $2,699 ($2,949 regular price – $2,699 pre-tariffs)
    *note: the GF120mm is sold by third party sellers

Still resisting at Amazon is also the anti-deal :)

Will Fujifilm’s Upcoming Second Price Increase Revive Interest for the Original XF16-55mmF2.8 R WR?

We reported that Fujifilm will again increase prices on plenty of Fujifilm X and GFX gear (full list below).

Not affected by any increase is the original Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 R WR.

In fact, it is still sold for $999 at BHphoto here and $989 Amazon here (via third party). Other stores like Adorama here and Nuzira still sell it for $1,199.

So starting August 30 we will have a $400 price difference between the two lenses, which might revive the interest for the original XF16-55/2.8, which really struggled to sell even at rebated price after the launch of the XF16-55mmF2.8 MK II.

6 Days Left Before Fujifilm’s Second Price Increase – Amazon Still Lists Surprising XF/GF Lens Deals

On August 30, Fujifilm will implement yet another price increase in the USA, affecting a wide range of X, GFX, and Instax gear.

This marks the second price hike this month, following the one that already took effect on August 1.

Interestingly, some Fujifilm X and GFX gear on Amazon is still listed at the pre–August 1 pricing. While certain items have already sold out, a few are still available at the original lower price—at least for now.

  • XF 8mmF3.5 – $869 ($899 regular price – $799 pre-tariffs)
  • XF 16mmF2.8 – 11% discount ($399 instead of $449)
  • XF 10-24mmF4 – 9% discount ($999 instead of $1,099)
  • GF 80mmF1.7 – $2,299 ($2,499 regular price – $2,299 pre-tariffs)
  • GF120mmF4* – $2,699 ($2,949 regular price – $2,699 pre-tariffs)
    *note: the GF120mm is sold by third party sellers

Some gear at Amazon is sold at even lower price than the original launch price.

  • XF33mmF1.4 – $769 (currently $899 – $799 pre-tariff)
    shipped and sold by Amazon.com with free 30 days return policy
  • XF70-300mm – $759 (currently $899 – was $799 pre-tariff)
    shipped and sold by Amazon Japan
  • XF16mm F2.8 silver – $347 (currently $449 – $399 pre-tariff)
    shipped and sold by Amazon Germany

I’m not sure whether import taxes apply when ordering gear from Amazon Germany or Japan. What I do see is that Amazon lists free shipping—but to be safe, double-check at checkout to avoid any unexpected import fees. In any case, we always recommend using your local Amazon branch—for our US readers, that means Amazon USA.

With that said, below you’ll find the complete list of upcoming price increases.
