The X Summit Sydney 2024, scheduled for May 16, is drawing attention. Last year's announcement of the X100VI has set high expectations among creators worldwide.
This year's summit is anticipated to reveal a new GFX series, new X-T series models, new lenses, or even super-telephoto lenses. Official announcements are expected on the day of the event.
Focus on Software Updates
There is significant interest not only in hardware but also in software updates.
Fujifilm has hinted at introducing a new film simulation, 'REALA ACE', for models like the mirrorless cameras 'X-H2' and 'X-T5'. Firmware updates are always a hot topic among Fujifilm users.
These updates are expected to be one of the highlights of the summit.
Concerns Over New Model Pricing
There are concerns about the pricing of new models due to the weakening yen. While the products are undoubtedly high quality, the rising costs in the domestic market due to exchange rates have raised concerns among domestic creators.
Anticipated User-Friendly Announcements This Year
As the summit approaches, the anticipation is not only for the products to be announced but also for the speculations and discussions surrounding them. Imagining the continuation of the X series with compact digital cameras like the 'X10' or 'X70', or speculating on the features of potential new models, heightens the excitement for the summit. In past summits, not only were new products announced, but features were added or improved in response to user requests, and a similar user-centric approach is expected this year.
As the X Summit Sydney 2024 approaches, everyone is eager to see what new products will be unveiled at this year's summit. Let's look forward to it.
