We did talk about the top 10 most important cameras of Fujifilm in the last 10 years.
But not all was successful that Fujifilm did.
So why did some cameras fail? Bad timing? Bad specs? Too strong competition? Killed by Kaizen? Complicated usability?
Let’s look into it today, because knowing the errors of the past, will help to avoid to make the same errors in future.
Let’s start!
Let’s start the week with a little fun post. The serious stuff (rumors included) will follow soon enough, don’t worry about that. ;)
With the recent triple Fujifilm camera registrations, the comments section run hot about what these cameras could be.
So I thought to launch a little poll, to see how good the FujiRumors community is, when it comes to make speculations about future products.
Of course, if there is somebody, who actually knows something, feel free to contact me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com, PM on social media or even anonymously via rumor box (feel free to use a nickname in that case).
Now pick your top three future Fujifilm cameras down below.
One Tip: Fujifilm X-Pro3 is sure, so check that box.
Fujifilm has recently registered three cameras:
The inevitable question that pops up in the comments when this happens, is how long the time span is between registration of a camera and its announcement.
To answer that, I looked back to the past time span between registrations and announcements, and here is what we see:
It’s clear that we usually get a camera between 1 and 3 months after registration (with exception of X-H1, which needed 6 months).
Clearly this would indicate of 3 cameras coming within November, although the X-H1 shows that a longer wait is not impossible, hence an announcement within February 2020 (6 months).
What could these cameras be?
The contact form on FujiRumors is open for any hint (thanks), and the comments for the wildest speculations :).

Nokishita spotted that Fujifilm has registered a third camera, the FF190003 here.
So we now have a total of 3 registered cameras:
Usually it needs a few months, for cameras to be announced after they have been registered.

Almost 1 year ago, I published a release timeline of Fujifilm cameras, and, based on that timeline, I made guesses on when a successor could come.
Turns out that, so far, our timeline was pretty accurate. In fact, based on Fuji’s release schedule, we predicted:
Now I thought it’s time to update our timeline, because:
Down below you find the updated release timeline for:
The X-T4/X-H2 Grain of Salt Corner
Keep in mind that this camera replacement timeline is NOT based ON RUMORS, but on past camera release schedule of Fujifilm.
Hence, take it with a grain of salt, especially when it comes to Fujifilm X-H2 and Fujifilm X-T4 release. The timing between X-H1 and X-T3 has proven to be very damaging for X-H1 sales, so there might be some changes here.
In fact, according to our sources, the Fujifilm X-H2 might not even come in 2020! But I want to wait for more details and confirmations, before changing the below timeline.
Speaking of X-H2 and X-T4, the FujiRumors community has voted on various Fujifilm X-H2 and X-T4 release timing options. Check out the poll results here (I voted for the option currently on the 3rd position).
