Fujifilm Product Timeline 2021/2022: About X-H2, GFX50SII, XF150-600 and More (And What Will NOT Come)

FUJIFILM 2021/2022
RUMORED PRODUCT RELEASE TIMELINE

Time to update our previous X and GFX gear timeline, which was not only limited to 2021, but lacked of some gear we rumored in the following months.

Also, I’ll include a list of products that will not come as the fake rumors keep spreading and I notice a tendency in forums to believe just everything that is written or talked about somewhere, may it be a monochrome camera, and X-T40 with IBIS coming very soon, the X-H2 coming 2021 and totally random stuff like that.

But luckily there is a 100% efficient anti-fake-rumors-vaccine called FujiRumors, so check out the list down below to know what Fujifilm really plans and when it will come.

And it won’t end here.

In fact, I have a skype call scheduled with the Japanese source in very near future. After the last call a few weeks ago, we dropped a couple of rumor-bombs (X-H2 details, the end of X-Trans IV, no more X cameras in 2021, the new GF zoom to come second half 2021 and more stuff I am not allowed to share just yet).

I expect that also our next call will be very interesting.

In case you’d like to know what it shared with us, feel free to follow FujiRumors and get updates via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

But until then, here is the most updated list of gear to come (and gear that won’t come).

BREAKING: One More Fujifilm GFX Camera Coming 2021, More Affordable than GFX100S

I know many of you will be skeptical right now.

Why?

Well, because here is how things went so far:

So, in 4 years of GFX series, we got 3 cameras only, hence less than one camera a year.

Fujifilm rightfully focused on giving us lenses for the system, with 12 G mount lenses launched in 4 years.

But according to our trusted sources, this will change in 2021.

In fact, I have been told that Fujifilm will launch another GFX camera in 2021. It will be more affordable than the recently launched Fujifilm GFX100S.

Expect updates.

On FujiRumors.

Very soon.

Love you!

P.S.: Don’t worry, this new GFX camera won’t use the newly registered low capacity Fujifilm NP-70S battery. That battery is for… oh well, you’ll see soon enough. Just follow FujiRumors ;)

Why the Upcoming Fujinon GF Zoom Might not be the Fujinon GF 20-36mm f/3.5-4.5 (Opinion, not Rumor)

When we told you that Fujifilm will launch a new GF zoom in the first half of 2021, many were sure: this has to be the Fujinon GF 20-36mm F3.5-4.5!

But where does that Fujinon GF 20-36mm F3.5-4.5 rumor come from?

Well, it comes from an internal Fujifilm roadmap we leaked back in 2017 here.

As you can see, everything that was on that roadmap materialized at some point, except for the UWA Fujinon GF 20-36mm F3.5-4.5.

But if you look closely, the internal roadmap says “GF20-36mm” or “GF100-200mm”. And, well, in 2019 Fujifilm announced the Fujinon GF100-200mmF5.6.

Why this intro?

Well, because we recently told you the following about the upcoming Fujinon G mount zoom lens that it will be:

And here comes the speculation (not rumor).

The Fujinon GF 20-36mm F3.5-4.5 would be a a 16-28mmF2.8-3.5 full frame equivalent lens (or 10-18mm f/1.8-2.2 APS-C equivalent), and usually such wide angle faster zoom lenses are not the cheapest on the market, unless you go with third party offerings like the Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8.

So either Fujifilm worked miracles and is about to give us an ultra affordable UWA lens, or the lens we are talking about is not the Fujinon GF 20-36mm F3.5-4.5.

I don’t know the answer yet, but if I should place a bet right now, I’d not put my money on a GF20-36mmF3.5-4.5 lens, but on a very affordable travel zoom lens, which will still be able resolve all the 100 megapixels the GFX system offers, but maybe be made more out of plastic and have a slower aperture.

Sort of something we know from the Fujinon XC lenses, although I hope it will retain the aperture ring, the lack of which would be a dealbreaker for me.

But again, this is pure speculation from my side. Not a rumor.
