First the news:
Today Fuji released Firmware Updates for the X-T2, X-T20, GFX 50S + Free X RAW STUDIO Software + X Acquire ver. 1.7.
Now the rumor:
Nokishita noticed that in the update file of X-RAW STUDIO Fujifilm adds support for the Fujifilm X-H1. Fujirumors says they got some info about the X-H1:
Nokishita does not know, what hides behind the name “X-H1” and they don’t know any specs, except for the fact that it has 24MP and 1/32,000 shutter speed… but luckily FujiRumors can help :)
The Fujifilm X-H1 is Fuji’s first IBIS camera. Fujifilm changed name from X-T2S to X-H1. That’s what hides behind this mysterious camera :).
In the comments, some suggested that “H” stands for “Hybrid”, meaning stills/video hybrid camera. Makes perfectly sense. The new Fujinon MK Cine lenses have no OIS, and of course Fujifilm designed them without stabilization, knowing the X-H1 would come with IBIS.
All the specs I have shared so far for the X-T2S remain the same for the X-H1. It’s the same camera, just with different name.
I am pretty sure we will not have to wait a long time til the camera gets announced!
Over at 43rumors you can see some of the first images of the GH5s. So far we can say this camera looks like the GH5 with two small changes:
1) It has the same G9 drive wheel with the red ring
2) It has a big red recording button
Teh red button probably marks that this is a purely video oriented camera. Expect a special new 4K sensor on this (maybe 10 Megapixel?). So far little we know about this camera:
– This is a low light version of the GH5. It probably has a new low resolution sensor.
– This will be a more advanced version of the GH5 with improved video quality, stunning low light performance
– higher price tag than the GH5.
– Same GH5 body
– December 15 (+ or – 1 day)
Panasonic will announce the new GH5s around December 15. It’s a low light trimmed version of the GH5. Which means it has less megapixels and it costs more than the GH5!
Both the Bluetooth agency and the russian Eurasian Economic Commission do show that Canon registered the new mid level EOS-M50 camera. Expect this camera to be announced in Q1 2018.

I really though that with yesterdays Leica CL release announcement we were done with product announcements for 2017. But 43rumors reports that Panasonic will give us a Christmas surprise by announced some kind of “big” MFT news.
We don’t k ow yet what it is but it definitely will be something special…
We are only few hours away from the official Leica CL announcement. And here are two leaked images of the new Leica CL. UPDATE: Leica Japan published the Leica CL and Elmarit Lens pages few hours before the announcement.
UPDATE: The camera got announced and here are the preorder links:
