In November we have shared quite some rumors (as you can see here). And not only that! In our previous 2024 outlook, we forgot to add gear that Fujifilm has already pre-announced to come in 2024 as well as give you a look into rumored third party AF lenses.
That’s why we need to update our view into the Fujifilm year 2024.
All the X/GFX rumors come from our sources, whereas the speculations are often based on hints and comments that managers gave in interviews.
Now, I can see the “rumors” about the Fujifilm GFX100R, Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm X-T6, Fujifilm X-T40, Fujifilm X80, Fujifilm X-H3, Fujifilm X-H3S and more pop up. But those “rumors” appeared also ahead of the X Summit on May 24 and September 12, and of course none (not a single one!!!) of them materialized. But I guess misleading readers for traffic and good SEO is a great deal for them.
Here on FujiRumors we don’t mislead you with fake rumors.
Here we will tell you the real deal, and you will know it all very soon (promised!!!).
All the answers will follow on FujiRumors. But in the meantime I thought it could be fun to vote on which cameras you think will come.
But note a few things:
this is a survey on gear that you THINK will come, not what you wish will come
this is why I stayed rather “conservative” with my poll options and mainly only include successors to current camera lines
Regarding the successors, a very important note:
it is not clear if all current X/GFX the lines will get a successor. Will there ever be a GFX50RII or GFX100RII or GFX100SII or X80 or X-E5 etc?
I will include them anyway in this survey, just to see how much demand there is for such cameras among the FR community
And now a quick explanation on the survey itself.
recently refreshed cameras will not be included in the survey (no Fujifilm X-T6 or Fujifilm X-H3/S)
X100V successor is not included in the list, as that one will come for sure in early 2024
And if you Need to go Wild… ;)
There is always a possibility that Fujifilm will launch something new, hence a new type of camera or new camera line.
And while you can’t vote on it, you can still express your wildest wishes in the comments below. At a later stage we can make a separate survey if it’s something you’d like to vote on.
But don’t worry, Fujifilm is working full power right now.
In fact, we have been told that in the “first monthsof 2024″ Fujifilm will announce more cameras than in the entire year 2023.
Considering that we got a total of 2 cameras in 2023, this means we can expect three or more cameras coming in the first months of 2024.
I have checked back, and as far as I can see, in 13 years of X/GFX series there has been only one year in which Fujifilm launched more than two cameras in the first months of the year (without counting the entry level cameras that were made by Xacti Corporation and not by Fujifilm).
But even if we would count the Xacti cameras (X-T100, X-T200, X-A5, X-A20 etc), we would get a total of 3 years out of 13 in which Fujifilm kicked off the year with more than two cameras, and also in that case we reach 3 cameras max (as in 2017).
So, by launching three or more Fujifilm cameras (made by Fujfiilm) in the first months of 2024, Fujifilm is out for a record release rate, matching or exceeding the announcements we had only once in 13 years of Fujifilm X/GFX history.
