Fujifilm X-T4 Shipping already in USA (at Some Stores)

UPDATE: in Europe it is shipping already since April 28.

A fellow FR-reader contacted me, telling me that his Fujifilm X-T4 started shipping from a US retailer a few days ago. Yesterday he received it, and he also sent me the image of his black X-T4. He writes:

I sold a Nikon Z7 system to come back to Fuji after several years so I’m REALLY excited about this

According to all major retailers, shipping is marked as starting on May 11. But it’s clear they already have them in the warehouses, and some retailers just can’t wait to make their customers happy.

I never understood why Fujifilm sets a “shipping-embargo” on gear. If it’s there, why let it sit in the warehouse instead of shipping it to customers?

Many, really many fellow X Shooter already got his X-T4 especially here in Europe, and if you want some serious unboxing frenzy, check out or fantastic Fujifilm X-T group.

Fujifilm X Lens Roadmap: Two Fujinon MK II Lenses Coming Between Now and March 2021 plus XF50mmF1.0 and XF70-300mmF4-5.6

You might remember, how back at the awesome Fujifilm X summit in February, the Japanese Fujifilm manager said there will be 4 new lenses coming within the next 12 months.

One of them is the Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0.

FujiRumors investigated, and told you already a few weeks ago, that another one will be the Fujinon XF70-300mm f/4-5.6.

And now, thanks to a trusted source, we can tell you that the remaining two lenses will be Mark II versions of existing lenses.

So, from now to March 2021 we will get:

Whenever I can, I will let you know, which one will be updated (I honestly do not know at this point in time). But don’t miss it when it happens, and follow FujiRumors.

Viltrox just officially released the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 for Fujifilm X mount for $329 only.

As a comparison, the equivalent Fujinon XF 23mmm f/1.4 costs you $899. This means the Viltrox costs you 63% less than the Fujinon lens. Not a bad deal.

This is one of the four autofocus lenses Viltrox offers for the Fujifilm X system.

You can find the Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 at the Viltrox store here, but it should soon follow also on BHphoto, AmazonUS, Adorama and eBay.

FUJIFILM Postpones Announcement of Financial Results for the Fiscal Year 2020 due to COVID-19

Fujifilm just announced the postponement of the release of the financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020*. They need more time to make the report due to COVID-19.

They anticipate the inevitable: COVID-19 had a big impact on “some products“, and you can be sure cameras are one of those products.

The impact of COVID-19 is also seen on sales of some products and services. The effect on the performance for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 is currently under review and shall be notified as soon as we identified matters requiring disclosure

Overall, though, Fujifilm is in a better position than Nikon for example, as Fujifilm is a very diversified company. Down below you can see the yearly stock performance of Fujifilm, Nikon, Canon and Sony.

Also Nikon and other companies have postponed the fiscal year results announcement.

* the Japanese fiscal year 2020 started on the 1st of April 2019 and ended on the 31th of March 2020.
