January was an extremely busy month, with 92 articles shared in 31 days.

FujiRumors shared 21 rumors, and some of them surprised many of us, me included, for example the fact that the Fujifilm X-T4 will ship much earlier than everybody was expecting it.

A big thanks goes to our sources (also the new ones that joined in January). You help me to keep the worldwide Fujifilm community on fire for the upcoming releases. :)

Now, with 92 articles in 31 days, you might have missed some tidbits.

So here are the top 10 articles for January.
