BREAKING: Fujifilm X-H2 Coming with Two Different Sensors

Fujifilm X-H2

Recently I wrote an article, where I said that Fujifilm should do it a bit like Sony, and offer different sensors in the same camera.

However, I also said that I don’t believe that will happen, as at the recent X summit, Fujifilm has teased one (1) new sensor coming, not two.

But well, I was wrong.

A trusted source reached out to us and told me that yes, there will be indeed two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras coming as FujiRumors already told, but the source added that the two Fujifilm X-H2 cameras will feature two “different” sensors.

No more details given to me for now.

So I guess the question now is, what does “different sensors” mean?

FujiRumors already told you that there will be a 40 megapixel sensor in the Fujifilm X-H2. So at least in one of them (if not both) will come with 40 Megapixel.

Maybe there will there be one 40 megapixel X-Trans and one 40 megapixel Bayer sensor Fujifilm X-H2? With X-Trans for better image quality and the Bayer sensor for a more affordable X-H2 version? We have explained the X-Trans/Bayer difference recently here.

Or will there be two completely different sensors? With different megapixel or even different sensor technologies?

Again, keep in mind that all Fujifilm announced is one (1) new BSI stacked X-Trans sensor.

So the options I see are these:

  • Fujifilm is hiding something from us
  • FujiRumors is wrong and there will be just one X-H2 with one sensor
  • there will be two X-H2 cameras and both will feature a stacked BSI sensor

Another question: will both Fujifilm X-H2 have the identical body, or will the body be a bit different? Maybe one more video-centric body with external fan and selfie screen and one more photo-centric body with 3-way tilt screen and more compact?

It happens rarely, but I admit I am a bit confused at this point.

Fujifilm X-H2 Rumor Coming Soon and it Will Disappoint Half of You (and Make the Other Half Happy)

I am about to write an publish an important Fujifilm X-H2 rumor.

As a teaser, according to poll result we have published here, about half of you will be disappointed by that rumor (and I guess the other half would be happy).

Stay tuned, the answer is coming soon, right after I’ve installed the first dishwasher I have ever bought in my life and just arrived to my home. I want to be online when the discussion kicks in here in the comments ;).

Now wish me luck with the dishwasher :D.

Fujinon XC/XF 30mm F3.5 Patent Found, but….

The patent for a Fujinon XF35mm f/3.5 or XF35mm f/3.5 has been spotted by Asobinet. Down below the details (google translated):

As of November 1, 2021, Fujifilm’s patent application has been published. It includes some small, lightweight standard single focus examples that will be the “35mm F3.5” for APS-C mirrorless cameras.

  • [Publication date] November 1, 2021
  • INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY: Imaging lens and imaging device
  • [Application date] April 23, 2020
  • [Name or name] FUJIFILM Corporation
  • PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image pickup lens which is compactly configured, has good optical performance, and is advantageous for speeding up focusing, and an image pickup device provided with the image pickup lens.

Some might think it is the patent for the GF30mm f/3.5, but Asobinet remarks how considering the angle of view this should be an APS-C lens.

  • Focal length: 30.85
  • F value: 3.51
  • Angle of view: 47.8

In roughly that range, Fujifilm already offers:

Asobinet remarks: “Considering the filing time, it may have been a proposal that was being considered in the process of commercializing the ” XF27mmF2.8 R WR “.

As always, keep in mind that 99,9999% of the patents we report about will never see the light of the day. Just search for “patent” on FujiRumors, and look at all the stuff that has been spotted in 10 years of blogging and never became a real product at the end.

Samyang 12mm f/2.0 Autofocus Lens for Fujifilm X Mount Coming Soon

We just reported how Samyang is about to launch their first autofocus lens for Fujifilm X Mount on October 26.

Above you can see a comparison between the blacked out teaser image of the lens and the new Samyang 12mm f/2.0 AF for Sony E-Mount. They look identical, so we can now safely assume that the lens to come will be the Samyang 12mm f/2.0 AF for Fujifilm X Mount.

The Sony version enjoys first very positives reviews at BHphoto here and AmazonUS here.

So far I have used a lot my good old Samyang 12mm f/2 manual focus lens and I trust their image quality. Hence, I am looking forward to their first autofocus X mount lens, too.

It was Fujifilm biggest error, and they finally fixed it in 2020.

And since it’s fixed now, third party manufactures are joining the X mount with their own autofocus lenses.

The next one to come will be Samyang, who officially teased their first autofocus Fujifilm X mount lens to come October 26 earliest.
