Another Fujifilm X-T6 Delay
The Fujifilm X-T6 has reportedly been delayed once again, with its previously expected November 19 announcement now apparently cancelled. According to multiple, trusted sources, the camera will not be unveiled on that date, and there is currently no information about when Fujifilm might announce it instead. This would be the second postponement in just a few months. The X-T6 was originally expected to arrive on September 4, 2026, but Fujifilm ended up announcing only the XF 400mm f/4.5 lens that day. Whether the camera will still be coming before the end of 2026 remains unclear (but that now seems increasingly unlikely).
There are a few possible explanations for these delays. According to reports, the latest postponement could be connected to the ongoing shortage of memory chips, with demand from AI data centres putting pressure on global supplies. This could be affecting Fujifilm’s ability to manufacture the X-T6 in sufficient quantities, although nothing has been officially confirmed. Interestingly, when the first delay was reported back in August, sources suggested that Fujifilm needed more time to finish the camera’s software, specifically its new autofocus system and an upcoming film simulation. So, there might be several things contributing to the delays.
Looking at the latest Fujifilm X-T6 rumours, the camera is expected to retain a 40-megapixel APS-C sensor, potentially a new X-Trans CMOS 6 design, alongside a new AI autofocus. Other relatively consistent reports mention a new NP-W255 battery with approximately 2,550mAh capacity and redesigned top-plate dials. There is also talk of up to 60fps electronic burst shooting and improved 5-axis IBIS offering 7.5–8 stops of stabilisation, although these details are less certain. Video rumours include 8K/30p and 4K/120p recording, while the camera is said to retain a three-way tilting screen and not change to a fully articulating one. Pricing is expected to land somewhere around $1,900 – $2,100.
