Tony Northrup just released a predictions video, on which camera systems will survive, and which ones not.
Probably fine (in order from most fine, to least fine):
Some of you think that talking about “mirrorless endgame” or “mirrorless war” is a bit too dramatic. And yes, I actually agree with that, but also not!
I explain:
“War” or “Endgame” suggest an epic fight with violent ending. That will definitely not happen. At least not with all camera brands.
While Samsung joined the mirrorless market spectacularly with the Samsung NX1 and left just as spectacularly, by capitulating overnight, other brands will quietly disappear, reducing their products cycles, their innovations, and one day, silently, just stop it all.
The harsh truth is: in a camera market shrinking that fast, it is not plausible to think that everybody will continue grow and prosper.
So we are in the endgame now.
The good news for us customers is: companies lower their prices, beef up their cameras, race for innovation, cover us with firmware love, and fight for every single one of us.
We, the customers, win in any case ;).
Fujifilm published the results for their fiscal year 2018 (ended March 31, 2019).
Down below I have filtered out for you what they say about the X series… and we ignore that the best seller was the Taylor Swift Instax Camera.
FujiRumors is a 100% independent space.
I don’t get free or discounted gear from Fujifilm, I don’t get special customer service, I don’t get invitations and free flights/hotels to launch parties, I don’t get free t-shirts or hats… and that’s good so.
I wake up, I go to work, I come back home, I blog and I write whatever I want.
This independency allows me to write for example articles like the ones below, that Fujifilm surely did not appreciate:
So actually I don’t think there is one brand out there, that we attacked more than Fujifilm ;).
But my job is not to make Fujifilm happy, but to be loyal to those of you, who decide to read this blog. And hence, I will report everything. Fujifilm does not pay me a penny, and if this blog runs at all, it’s only because you decide to support it.
On the other hand, I can’t hide that I simply fell in love with Fujifilm many years ago, and it’s a love that gets stronger as the years pass by.
So, while I will keep up delivering you everything, every now and then, I also feel like sharing some good switch stories of people, who talk so passionate about Fujifilm.
It’s the same enthusiasm that caught me many years ago, hence, I will share a few of these stories today.
Check them out or not, it’s up to you.
Enjoy your weekend, love you all (even if don’t shoot Fuji ;) )

Mirrorlessrumors received the first images and specs of the 7Artisan 60mm f/2.8 1:1: Macro lens.
It will be available for Fujifilm X mirrorless APS-C cameras as well as Sony E, EOS-M and MFT mount.
First sample image at the bottom of this article.
Mirrorlessrumors notes that the description contains an error when describing the lens construction, since this is a screenshot from a beta page that is still under construction and mistakes will be fixed.
Checking the complete list of current and future native X-mount lenses, I see currently only three native 1:1 macro lenses for Fujifilm X available:
The 7Artisan 60mm f/2.8 1:1 Macro lens will add to the already wide range of Chinese made Fujifilm X mount lenses. Full list below:
