Third Fujifilm Camera Registration Found FF240001 Plus, GFX100S II, GFX25, X-Pro4, X100, and More

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 8, 2023


A new Fujifilm registration was leaked on Weibo a short time ago so now we have 3 cameras on the way from Fujifilm. The post also makes some interesting statements about there being 4-6 cameras expected in 2024 including the Fujifilm GFX100S II which will be a GFX100II with reduced video functionality. Fujifilm is also expected to release 4-6 cameras in 2024 so it should be an exciting year for fans of Fujifilm cameras.

FF230001 / GFX100 II / registered on 2023-1-13 / released on 2023-9-12
FF220002 / X-S20 / registered on 2023-2-3 / 2023-5-24 Published

FF230003 / Unreleased / Registered on 2023-11-24
FF240001 / Unreleased / Registered on 2023-12-08

Fujifilm is also believed to be working on a new X100 camera using Fujifilm’s 40MP sensor and IBIS system, plus the X-Pro4 will be brought up to speed with the X-T5 with a 40MP sensor and IBIS also. Beyond that there is a possibility of a highly specialized GFX 25 camera for high-speed shooting and the Fujifilm XE5 might finally be announced. You can see all the translated details below.

Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary and 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary Shortages

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 8, 2023


This isn’t the first time that Sigma has been unable to keep up with demand for the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary, but I am surprised to see the SIGMA 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary is also in short supply. Maybe users prefer Sigma’s new 56mm lens to Fujifilm’s since Fujifilm took away the manual focus clutch.

Apology regarding the supply status of “SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary for Sony E mount, Fujifilm X mount” and “SIGMA 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary for Fujifilm X mount”

Thank you for using Sigma products.

We have received orders for some lenses for mirrorless cameras that exceed our expectations, and production is not able to keep up with demand. Therefore, we will temporarily stop accepting orders from today.

Also, it may take some time for the products you have already ordered to arrive at your doorstep.

We will inform you again on our website regarding when we will resume accepting orders.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused to our customers and related parties who are waiting for the product, but we are currently working diligently to produce it, so we ask for your patience.

We appreciate your continued patronage of our company and our products.
