In the lead-up to the highly anticipated Fujifilm X Summit 2025, set to take place on March 20 in Prague, Fujifilm has released a teaser video hinting at an exciting new camera. The short but intriguing clip suggests a fusion of two of its most popular models – the ever-popular Fujifilm X100 VI and the resolution powerhouse GFX 100S II. If true, this hybrid camera could be a game-changer in the photography world. ABOVE: The official Fujifilm teaser video The teaser, which has already sparked intense speculation among photographers and industry experts, features subtle visual cues that hint at a blend of the compact, fixed-lens design of the X100 series with the powerful medium-format sensor technology found in the GFX lineup. Notably, the silhouette of the new camera bears a striking resemblance to the GFX 50R – a rangefinder-style GFX camera that Fujifilm hasn't updated in several years. The re-introduction of a 50R-style camera with a fixed lens and a 50 or 100MP sensor would make for the ultimate street and travel camera. Fujifilm's X100 series has long been beloved by street and travel photographers for its sleek design, portability, and high-quality image output. Meanwhile, the GFX 100S II, with its 102MP medium-format sensor, has become a favorite among professional and commercial photographers seeking unparalleled image quality. Combining these two cameras in any regard could mean a compact, high-resolution powerhouse that offers both portability and exceptional detail, a dream for many photographers. However, given the potential medium-format sensor, the camera's size would likely be on the larger side compared. As expected, Fujifilm has remained tight-lipped about the specifics, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the official reveal. However, if the teaser is anything to go by, this upcoming announcement could mark a significant shift in Fujifilm's camera lineup, bridging the gap between the X-series and GFX series in a way never seen before. With just days to go until the X Summit, the excitement is building. Will Fujifilm introduce a groundbreaking new category of cameras, or is the teaser simply a clever marketing tactic? All will be revealed on March 20 in Prague. Check out our guides to the best compact cameras and the best Fujifilm cameras.

Fujifilm teases a medium-format version of its viral X100 VI compact camera
Fujifilm appears to be working on a camera that could combine the best of its medium-format shooters, like the GFX 100S II, with the massively popular X100 series, based on a new teaser video spotted by Digital Camera World. The video, titled "X Summit in Prague is going to be special, Fujifilm fam🇨🇿" shows a pair of hands producing a XV100 VI and GFX 100S II out of thin air and bringing the cameras together, before cutting to the silhouette of the new camera the company presumably plans to announce. The suggestion being that Fujifilm wants to create something that has traits of its more compact, fixed-lens X100 series while reaping the benefits of a medium-format sensor. It's hard to really gauge what the new camera will look like based on the brief clip in the video, but it definitely looks larger (and more square) than the X100 VI, with a smaller lens than you'd normally see on a camera in Fujifilm's GFX 100S II. That certainly bodes well for anyone looking to up their photography game after getting hooked on one of the X100 cameras. Fujifilm first struck gold with the X100 V, which became popular on social platforms because of its size, design and ability to digitally mimic multiple types of analog film. The X100 VI was released in 2024 to capitalize on the sudden popularity, gaining things like in-body stabilization and a lower native ISO. For all intents and purposes, it's a fantastic camera. We'll have to wait until Fujifilm's X Summit on March 20 to see if this new camera has the potential to have the same crossover appeal, but history is definitely on the company's side.
