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!
Fujifilm has just released firmware updates for several cameras, including the Fujifilm X-T3 and Fujifilm X-Pro3. Full list below.
NOTE: At the moment the new firmware is only available at the Japanese Fujifilm site (you can install that one), but it should be available soon also at the English one. I will remove the “coming soon” note for the English links once it’s available for download. Available now!
Fujifilm X-T3 firmware 3.10 – download here
Fujifilm X-Pro3 firmware 1.01 – download here
Fujifilm X-T100 firmware 2.01 – download here
Fujifilm X-A7 firmware 1.02 – download here

I get lots, really lots of emails every month, from people asking me which Fujifilm camera they should buy.
This is a hard question for me to answer, since it is such a very subjective matter.
It’s not only a matter of price and specs, but, especially in the Fujifilm world, also of ergonomics, since Fuji offers so many different styled cameras, that from one side we are blessed with ergonomic choices, but on the other side it makes the choice more difficult as for example in the Sony world, where you get one camera body, that’s it, take it or leave it.
So what I do, is that I can give a general answer on what I consider the best value for money option in the Fujifilm world.
At the time of this post, I usually recommend the Fujifilm X-H1, especially now, where it can be purchased for $999 only with vertical grip and two spare batteries, and you even save more if bundled with the lenses below:
But I wanted to hear what you guys think is the best value for money camera.
In future, when somebody asks me about, I will just link to this article, and say “this is what thousands of Fujifilm shooters think is the best value for money Fuji camera“.
I will keep the fixed lens cameras out of the competition, and I will only list the most modern camera of each camera line.
REMEMBER: it’s NOT a survey about your favorite camera, but a survey about the best value for money camera.

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 :).
