Panasonic S9 Become More Better with Latest Firmware Update Ver.1.3

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.

Details of the update

  1. 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.)

Upcoming Half-Frame Camera with a 1-Inch Sensor

Just before the Fuji X-E5 in 2025, the X-Half camera also becomes official, now let’s explore in the table below the list of cameras announced and expected to arrive in 2025.

Wrap-Up of 2025 – 2026 Announcements

So now, that wraps up the 2025 announcements, and now we will move forward and talk about the possibilities of 2026.

elow is the corrected table, organized by year, showing announced and expected Fujifilm cameras based on historical patterns and current information.

Year Camera Model Announcement Date Status Key Features Source
2025 Fuji GFX100RF March 20, 2025 Announced 102MP medium-format sensor
2025 Fuji X Half May 22, 2025 Announced 20MP 1-inch sensor

Fuji X-PRO 5 / X-Pro 6

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. Read full article here 

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.

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.

Fuji X-T6 to be Delayed

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.

Yes, there is a high possibility that we may have the Fuji X-T6 camera next, if Fuji goes as per schedule. But, chances are low, since they have to protect the sales of the recently announced X-E5 camera, and on the other hand, do they have to keep new pieces of technologies like a new sensor and image processor ready for X-PRO and X-H series announcement in 2026. So, even if X-T6 arrives in 2025, it will be a subtle update. Otherwise, the best thing for Fuji is to break the announcement pattern or update cycle of 33 months and announce it sometime in Q4 of 2026 or Q1 of 2027 with a major update.

Fuji X-E5 has been announced recently, which falls almost in the same price range X-T series camera (+ $200 for body), Fuji will never allow itself to cannibalize the sales of other models by announcing the X-T6 with enhanced core specification, which almost matches the X-H2 under budget.

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

Fuji Fullframe Compact Camera Fuji FX 100 with 40mm F2 Lens – A Leica Q3 Compatitor

Fuji FX100 post image

Back in June 2025, Japanese website ASOBINET spotted something intriguing in Fujifilm’s patent filings: alongside new GF 20mm f/2.8 and XF 15mm f/2.8 designs, there was a 40mm f/2 lens specifically laid out for a full-frame sensor. That little detail is probably the strongest hint yet that Fuji is toying with the idea of a full-frame compact. A 40 mm normal-view optic makes perfect sense here—it’s roughly the classic field of view you’d get with Leica’s Q3 at 43 mm f/2.

As recently as 2023, during INTERVIEWS, they have CLEARLY SAID that they have no plans to enter the crowded full-frame interchangeable-lens mirrorless market dominated by Canon, Nikon, and Sony. Their reasoning is clear: APS-C (X Series) offers a compact, cost-effective alternative, while medium format (GFX Series) provides superior resolution and dynamic range for professionalsBuilding a FULLFRAME interchangeable LENS system from scratch means designing new mounts and glass, then convincing photographers to invest in yet another lineup, possibly at the expense of their current X and GFX customers. It’s a risky move that could or may end up cannibalising their lineup of GFX and Z series cameras.

That said, Fujifilm isn’t ruling out playing in the full-frame sandbox entirely—a fixed-lens full-frame compact camera, as we have discussed above the Fiji FX100, would not contradict Fujifilm’s stance. It would be a distinct product category, akin to the Leica Q3 (60MP full-frame sensor, 28mm or 43mm f/1.7-2 lenses) or Sony RX1R II (42MP full-frame, 35mm f/2 lens): FX100 will let them dip a toe into full-frame territory without overhauling their entire lens portfolio

Fujifilm Hints at X-Pro 4 Development in Recent Interview

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!

Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 Lab lens Sample Images and Videos

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:

Fuji GFX100 RF Sample Images

The Fujifilm GFX 100 RF is a newly announced medium-format camera. It features a 102-megapixel medium-format sensor and a fixed lens of 28mm F4, which is equivalent to a 35mm lens—maybe a 35mm F5.6 lens when used in a full-frame camera. Compared to other medium-format cameras in the market, it has a rangefinder design and a compact body.

The camera was announced on March 20, 2025, with a price tag of $4,899. Shipping will start on April 24, 2025, and it will be available in black and silver. We have already covered the Fujifilm GFX 100 RF Press Release here.

Rangefinder-Style Body & Unique Features

The rangefinder-style body also includes an offset electronic viewfinder and the most attractive thing in the body design is the new aspect ratio dial with 9 options that include 4:3, 2:2, and even 16:9. This allows you to compose your images in a very different way, making landscape and architectural photography more intuitive.

This aspect ratio dial will give you a new dimension to capture and preserve your compositions. You can check our best aspect ratio guide to understand how different ratios impact composition.

A Compact Medium Format Camera for Professionals

The camera was announced in a very unique niche that blends traditional medium format photography with a compact body. Some photographers who strive for high image quality but don’t want to carry the traditional bulky GFX models with interchangeable lenses will find this specific design inspiring.
