Yes, we are going to talk about the three cameras. But first you need to know this.
There is one release in just a couple weeks that will overshadow everything else Fujifilm will launch.
Well, at least for me.
Because my second son will be “released” in the next couple of weeks, too :)
So either something I don’t understand right now is going on (for example, could the limited edition X100VI have a different color? Or anything else I just don’t understand now?), or all the others were simply wrong. But I will correct the rumor now, because the regular silver color is still available.

It’s already a tough question in life: silver or black?
And well, the question will get even tougher on February 20. Especially for those, who usually go all-in with the all-black cameras.
Because, as I have been told, the Fujifilm X100VI will come with a new silver color that is “slightly darker” than the one we are used to see on X100 cameras so far. This color will replace the standard silver color we were used to get so far.
No, we will not hear anything about the Fujifilm X-Pro4 on February 20. Nothing.
And nothing also about the Fujifilm X-E5, or X-T40 or X-T300, or X80, or GFX100R.
The truth is this: the only camera to be announced on February 20 will be the Fujifilm X100VI.
I guess the Fujifilm X100VI is just too important for Fujifilm and it’s best that it does not get any distraction from other cameras on launch day.
Many of you guys might have seen it coming, due to the lack of rumors about other cameras.
But FujiRumors will make sure that the lack of rumors about other cameras will end soon ;).
But this does not mean we can’t get any surprises on February 20.
I still hope (no rumor) that Fujifilm will give us a new X mount roadmap, or makes major Kaizen firmware announcements, or they could even announce new lenses considering the fact that our sources said the X100VI is the only camera coming on February 20 (and we have leaked images of future XF lenses already months ago). But to be clear: as of now, I have not received information about other gear to come on February 20 (which does not mean it can’t come).
And Fujifilm has also teased a major XApp update, which hopefully might also be announced on February 20 (not a rumor, just a hope).
But they could also show us protoypes of gear to come.
As far as I can remember, at every X Summit something happened that I did not see coming, and I am confident that also this time we will get some surprises.
So definitely stay tuned on FujiRumors on February 20. We will cover it all, and you won’t miss anything.

The Fujifilm X100V is fully weather sealed only if used with:
And the question I often get these days is: will the Fujifilm X100VI be fully weather sealed also without adapter rings and filters?
Now let’s start by saying that the X100V camera body itself is already weather sealed. And even if there have been minimal changes to the camera body, I think it’s safe to assume that also the X100VI body will be weather sealed.
But a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and the weakest link in the X100V is the lens, which in itself is not fully weather sealed and hence needs the AR-X100 adapter ring and the Protector filter PRF-49 to enjoy full weather sealing.
So has Fujifilm improved on it on the X100VI?
Well, also in this case I have no rumors about it. But I have a rumor that says that the X100VI will use “the same lens” of the X100V.
And if correct, then this means it will be a wonderful sharp lens, but it will also inherit the same “imperfection” of the X100V: it will only be fully weather sealed if used with adapter rings and filters.
That’s why, in my X100VI vs X100V specs comparison, I made my “educated guess” that the X100VI will still need filters to be fully weather sealed.
But again: just an educated guess to try to answer your questions as good as I can with the information I have so far.
Fujifilm X100VI Rumor Recap
I noticed in the comments that some fellow Fujifilm shooters ask questions about the Fujifilm X100VI (for example here), that we actually have answered already.
And I get it, there have been so many rumors that it can be hard to keep track with all of it.
That’s why I have decided to create a dedicated X100VI vs X100V specs comparison sheet that is based on our rumors and in some (rare) cases on educated guesses on my side (and they are marked as such in the sheet itself).
You can access the file here.
