One of the best budget cameras to record 6K open-gate recording, earlier or when it was announced, there was a 4K 15-minute recording limit in the camera, and for which it was criticized at the time of announcement. But Panasonic listened to us, and on October 9, 2024, they released their first firmware update, version 1.1, and they removed the recording limit. Now, it does not have any recording limit in 4K 30fps mode or even in open-gate recording as long as your memory card isn’t full or the camera doesn’t face any kind of overheating issues.
But again, practically, the overheating performance of this camera is very good, and users are quite happy with the usage of this camera. Just keep in mind the camera is using the first generation of hybrid autofocus similar to what was used with the Panasonic S5, S5II, and S5IIX, so autofocus tracking is not on par with Canon and Sony cameras.
In the latest firmware update, version 1.3, they have again tried to optimize the overall operational speed of the camera. Additionally, they fixed a problem where when connecting to a Wi-Fi network, the password was always required. Now, it has become a one-time entry, so overall connectivity performance has been improved along with the operational speed of the camera.
Dlownload the latest Update from here
Details of the update
- Feature changes due to security enhancements
– When directly connecting the camera and smartphone via Wi-Fi, the connection has been changed to always require password authentication. (The [Wi-Fi Password] menu has been removed.)
– The [TKIP] encryption method is no longer supported when connecting to Wi-Fi via an access point.
– The [No Encryption] option in network authentication is no longer supported when connecting to Wi-Fi via an access point.
– The image transfer feature to PC via Wi-Fi has been removed. (Only European/Ukrainian models)
- Other improvements
– The startup speed when powering on has been improved.
– The operational stability has been improved.

According to recent rumours, Fuji’s next announcement is the Fuji X-E5, which could be in the summer of 2025.
Fuji X-E5 Specifications
The Fuji X-E5 is said to feature the same 40-megapixel X-Trans 5 sensor that we have seen in most of the Fuji cameras nowadays, as well as X-Processor 5. This is the standard update to the existing X-E4 camera.
 Fujifilm Fujica Half 35mm film camera Upcoming Half-Frame Camera with a 1-Inch Sensor
Friends, this is not all for 2025. We will also have a half-frame camera featuring a 1-inch sensor. The exact purpose of this half-frame camera is still unknown. We will shed more light on it once we get some solid details related to the camera and its core specifications. But right now, what we know is that it’s coming in 2025 with a 1-inch sensor—that’s all we know.
Wrap-Up of 2025 Announcements
So now, that wraps up the 2025 announcements, and now we will move forward and talk about the possibilities of 2026.

Recent GFX Camera Announcements
Recently, we witnessed the announcement of the GFX 100 RF camera as well as GFX Eterna, the medium-format cinema camera. So now, Fuji has introduced both a compact camera with a 28mm F4 fixed lens for photographers and a cinema camera. Both of them use the 102-megapixel medium-format sensor.
No Further 102MP GFX Announcements for 2026
That means there will be a pause in further GFX series announcements for 7 to 8 months. So, for next year, we are certain that no further 102-megapixel medium-format camera is coming.
Before We Move Forward to 2026, let understand the development and announcement pattern of X-Trans CMOS sensors
If we look at historical trends, Fuji uses flagship models to introduce new new sensor generations, like the X-H or X-Pro series, such as X-Trans V with X-H2S and X-H2. Thus, it’s plausible that X-Trans VI could appear in a new X-Pro 6 or X-H3 or X-T6, expected in early 2026
| Generation |
Introduction Date |
First Camera |
| X-Trans I |
January 9, 2012 |
X-Pro1 |
| X-Trans II |
January 7, 2013 |
X100S |
| X-Trans III |
January 15, 2016 |
X-Pro2 |
| X-Trans IV |
September 6, 2018 |
X-T3 |
| X-Trans V HS |
May 31, 2022 |
X-H2S |
| X-Trans V HR |
September 8, 2022 |
X-H2 |
| X-Trans VI |
Predicted: Late 2025 – Early 2026 |
Fuji will use Flasghip models like X-Pro6, X-T6 or X-H3 |
HS for speed and HR for resolution
Research suggests that Fujifilm’s X-Trans VI sensor is likely to arrive in late 2025 to early 2026, based on historical intervals of 2.5 to 3 years between generations and the introduction of X-Trans V in 2022
Big QUestion is Which Flagship Model will be selected
First of all, we are expecting an update of the Fuji X-Pro series camera in the first or second quarter of 2026. As we have seen in the recent interview, the general manager has said, “Of course, we can put the X-Processor 5 and the new X-Trans sensor in an X-Pro3 and call it X-Pro4, but that’s boring,” Igarashi says.
That clearly indicates they are either planning a brand new sensor for the new X-Pro series. Since it’s a flagship series, it may introduce a new X-Trans 6 sensor or X-Processor 6 in the upcoming X-Pro 6 camera.
And if this happens, then Fuji will allow the Fuji X-Pro 6 camera to gain as much market share as possible, and in that time span, they will not announce another camera with the same sensor in a lower price range (peak sales period of a camera is generally considered for 6 to 7 months).
So, if Fuji X-Pro 6 arrives with a new X-Trans VI sensor then for sure Fuji X-T6 scheduled announcement plan will get delayed.
Scheduled Announcement Pattern – Fuji X-T6 Should Arrive in 2026, but…
The Fuji X-T5 camera was announced in November 2022. Based on the online pattern of the X-T series camera, which has been quite consistent for the past 6 to 7 years, the next X-T series camera, the Fuji X-T6, will be announced in late 2025 or early 2026.
But again, if the Fuji X-Pro 6 camera arrives with a brand new sensor, then Fuji may delay the update of their X-T6 camera until late 2026 or maybe early 2027 to protect the sales of the X-Pro 6.

So finally, we got confirmation from the general manager of Fuji Film Professional Imaging Group that the Fuji X-Pro 4 is under development. In a recent interview with PetaPixel, he clearly stated that.
He noted that a simple upgrade with the latest processor or just a 40-megapixel sensor would be boring, indicating a major shift or upgrade in the upcoming X-Pro series camera.
Previous reports suggest that the upcoming X-Pro series camera will be called X-Pro 6 since Fuji will sync the name of the X-Pro series camera with others in 2026. It has been almost six years since the Fuji X-Pro 3 was released. The camera was announced in October 2019, and now it feels too old. Fuji has taken too much time, considering that even flagship cameras from other brands receive regular updates every four to five years. However, we have been waiting for more than six years now.
The Fuji X-Pro 3 had very low sales, and many owners of Fuji’s X-Pro 2 cameras decided not to upgrade their gear due to its unusual display setup. The Hidden flipping screen design of the X-Pro 3 failed to impress professional photographers. Due to the low sales of the series, Fuji decided to halt the research, development, and announcement of the next X-Pro camera for a while. And at one point of time, Fuji also realized that introducing a Hidden tilting display—which was practically useless—was a mistake. That so-called innovative design failed to impress professional photographers, ultimately leading to the X-Pro 3’s poor sales performance.
We have seen how Fuji handled the X100 series in its recent update. Not only did they add a 40-megapixel high-resolution sensor to that compact body, but they also introduced a 6-stop sensor-shift IBIS mechanism, making the Fuji X100VI one of the best street photography cameras ever created.
And that’s not all—the camera also includes a built-in 4-stop ND filter paired with a fast lens. What more could one ask for in a camera like this?
Similarly, Fuji is now focusing all its attention on developing the next version of the X-Pro series. Let’s hope that this time, we see a massive upgrade with significant changes. Stay tuned for more updates!

Although it was available for the Sony E-mount, Viltrox announced the 135 f/1.8 lens for the Nikon Z-mount. Now in Nikon, we can say it’s a budget-friendly version of Nikon’s 135mm f/1.8 S Plena lens. In the new lens, Viltrox uses a new Hyper VCM motor for autofocus, which it claims is 150% faster than the traditional STM motors used inside the lenses.

Like the E-mount version, even the Z-mount 135mm f/1.8 lens features a display screen on the top of the lens that can be customized to show the relevant information. Also, it features an autofocus to manual focus on-lens switch, as well as an aperture de-click switch. The lens also has a multifunction ring that enables multiple functions such as controlling the shutter speed or the aperture of the lens, or even the ISO. So, it’s a multipurpose ring control that can be customized from the camera. And finally, a USB-C port keeps your lens updated with the latest firmware update.
Below are the images and videos captured with the Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 LAB Z Lens:

Let’s talk about the Nikon ZV camera. It’s a rumored camera that features the goodness of all the video core specs that we have already seen in the Nikon Z6 Mark 3, but it’s actually an extension of Nikon’s new videography cinema mirrorless line.
Nikon ZV / Z6V Rumor
As per the recent set of rumors we have from the rumor mill, Nikon is currently working on a video-oriented Z6 Mark 3 camera, which uses the same 24.5-megapixel sensor as now, and it has a body that looks very, very similar to the Sony FX3 camera. You can relate to that, or you can also relate to the Nikon Z30, which does not have an electronic viewfinder inside it. So, you can just imagine a full-frame variant of the Nikon Z30 using the Z6 III sensor.
Possible Naming and Branding
The name of the camera is actually not known yet, but we are calling it Nikon ZV. It may also be called Nikon Z6V at the time of announcement. The rumor mill is suggesting that Nikon may start its video-focused branding with the ZV name.
Nikon Z6 III Key Features
The Nikon Z6 III camera was launched in 2024, and the camera features a 24.5-megapixel stacked sensor, which offers approximately 3.5x faster readout speed compared to its predecessor. Due to that, and with the pairing of the Expeed 7 image processor, the camera is able to capture 6K 60 FPS RAW videos, and it can save internally at the same time. You can also record 4K 120 FPS with slight crop and Full HD videos per second, making it a perfect choice. At the same time, the upcoming ZV camera will have all the possible set of core specifications that we have already witnessed in this camera by extending it further.

Nikon’s Acquisition of RED and Its Impact
Nikon’s acquisition of RED was done in 2024. Now, we also have Nikon Z-mount-based RED cinema cameras—the RED Raptor and the RED Komodo. Nikon engineers are now working in power with the RED team to ensure the future of RED cameras, as well as integrating the best cinematography features possible for the new-age mirrorless camera, which is directly coming from the RED core development program.
RED Technology Integration in Nikon ZV
So, the upcoming camera will have some RED tech inside, possible enhancements from RED could include:
- Deeper integration of RED’s color science for nuanced color reproduction.
- Support for professional formats like Redcode RAW.
- Enhanced connectivity, such as XLR inputs and SDI outputs.
- Robust build quality for harsh shooting conditions.
- Improved thermal management for extended recording.
These enhancements aim to align the camera with RED’s cinema-grade capabilities
