What to Expect from Fujifilm in 2024 (and What Probably Not)

Fujifilm 2024

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.

Remember, Fujifilm will launch 3 or more cameras in the first months of 2024. This means there are still more cameras we have to (and we will) leak here on FujiRumors.

X/GFX GEAR COMING FOR SURE

Fujifilm FF240001 Registration Found (3rd Unreleased Product): The Rumors Go Wild with Fujifilm GFX25, GFX100SII, X-Pro4, X100 and More

On the Chinese Weibo (linked below), the patent for a third unregistered Fujifilm camera has surfaced, the FF240001.

So we are now at a total of three registered cameras that have yet to be released.

  • FF230002
  • FF230003
  • FF240001

From here all possible speculations start and you can read them down below.

How do I know these are just made up speculations and not rumors?

Well, because there are so many errors I will have to correct ;). In short here are the “rumors”.

  • What they say is Sure (+ Possible)
  • 4 to 6 cameras coming in 2024
  • GFX100SII with X-T5 retro style body and no 8K video and lack of many video functions
  • X100V successor almost done. 40 MP biggest possibility
  • Highly Reliable
  • X-Pro4 updated to X-T5 performance with normal flip screen. But another source it has still the mini-LCD on the back. New film simulation
  • X100V with IBIS and OIS and 160MP High resolition mode
  • Generally Reliable
  • X100V with 50mm mode (20MP resolution)
  • 2024 is the year of GFX, with GFX100SII and several GF lenses with good focus performance
  • GFX25 coming mainly for video shooting (multiple sources confirm this)
  • Basically Impossible
  • GFX200 with 200 Megapixel
  • X-T40 ready to be released with 40 megapixel
  • No Reliability Rating
  • X-E series update in summer 2024
  • GF 14-20mm coming
  • 2x TC for GFX

But hey, it’s online. Let’s have fun even if it’s just made up stuff :).

Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 with Internal Zoom (Will Not Extend when Zooming)

So, we shared the images and the main specs of the next XF lens that Fujifilm will launch, the Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR.

Before we shared the images, many were speculating that due to the slower aperture at the long end (f/4.8 instead of f/4 on the XF18-55), the lens would be significantly smaller than its predecessor.

Now, it is difficult to judge the real size based on the leaked images, but the impression is that, overall, there is not really a significant size difference in terms of overall length of the lens.

But here is a catch.

The Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 will have internal zooming, hence it will not protrude at all when zooming.

I guess some of the advantages are potentially better weather sealing, a better balanced lens for example when working on a gimbal and no zoom creep, where the lens extends when pointed downwards.

If you know other advantages (or disadvantages) of internal zoom mechanism, feel free to let us know in the comments.

Now, usually “internal zoom” is associated with more premium lenses, because they are technically more complex to make and hence also cost more.

But it’s nice to see Fujifilm bring this more “premium” experience also to future owners of this new standard kit lens.

LEAKED: First Images of Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR

Today we can share with you the first images of the Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 lens, kindly provided to us by an awesome source.

You can see the images below.

As we told you already in late summer from a beautiful peak in the Dolomites, this will be the next XF lens that Fujifilm will launch.

But that’s just one of the many new items Fujifilm is preparing for us in the first half of 2024.

There is lots more coming. A LOT more.

So stay tuned on FujiRumors, because the next weeks and months will be a fun ride ;).

LEAKED: Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR coming to Replace XF18-55mm

Thanks to our fantastic sources (THANKS!!!) we are now able to share additional details of the next XF lens that Fujifilm will launch.

  • Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR

A couple of things to note here.

  • this lens will replace the XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS as the standard kit lens
  • f/4.8 instead of f/4 on the long end
  • it keeps the linear motor (also XF18-55 has it)
  • it has still an aperture ring
  • it adds weather sealing (XF18-55 has not)
  • it has no OIS (XF18-55 has OIS)
  • very likely it will be able to resolve all 40MP of new Fujifilm cameras (the XF18-55 can not), giving us less range on the long end (50 instead of 55) but at the same time also more crop capabilities

Let us know what you think about these changes.
