Fujifilm X-T2S (IBIS camera) Will Ship First Half of 2018… and When Will it Be Announced?

and just for fun… :)

Fujifilm X-T2S

The Fujifilm X-T2S, Fuji’s first camera with in body image stabilization, will ship in the first half of 2018.

When will it be announced? Well… I don’t know it.

But since I know that you will not accept an “I don’t know” as answer, I will make some pure speculations…and you know, when I make pure specualtions, I’m generally wrong ;).

  • Fujifilm could announce the X-T2S on September 7 (along with X-E3 & Co) and start taking pre-orders
  • Fujifilm could announce the development of the X-T2S on September 7, but make an official announcement with full specs later on, just like they did with the Fujifilm GFX 50S
  • Fujifilm could wait late 2017/early 2018 for the announcement with full specs and pre-orders

I anyone out there can help me to get some clarity regarding the X-T2S announcement, feel free to contact me via rumor box or via email at fujirumor@gmail.com. Any help is highly appreciated.

Fujifilm X-E3 Vs. X-E2 Size & Weight Comparison, Touch Screen will Work also in EVF mode, EF-X8 Flash in the Box… and More Details

Thanks to a trusted source, we now also have an accurate indication about the size of the Fujifilm X-E3.

The Fujifilm X-E3 will have the following dimensions (compared to X-E2)

Fujifilm X-E3: 121.3mm x 73.9mm x 42.7mm
Fujifilm X-E2: 129mm x 74.9mm x 37.2mm
Fujifilm X-T20: 118.4mm x 82.8mm x 41.4mm

To make it easier to comprehend, I made a quick and dirty comparison image, that you can see above. X-E2 is the yellow box, and X-E3 the green box.

Consider also that the X-E3 will be a bit thicker than the X-E2.

The weight:

Fujifilm X-E3: 337g
Fujifilm X-E2: 350g
Fujifilm X-T20: 383g

Touch Screen: It will have new functions (not available on X-T20), and the touch capability will work (if you want) even while you look through the viewfinder! I guess that’s also in part to overcome the rumored lack of a D-pad (and loss of FN-buttons). Through different gestures (swipe in different directions), you might be able to get access to your most used functions, even while looking through the EVF.

I’m defnitely curious to see how the new touch works :)

Flash: No more pop-up flash, but just like with the X-T2, the EF-X8 flash will come in the box.

We already leaked several specs in the last few weeks and months (such as faster Autofocus, Bluetooth etc). Just check out the list below. For the rest, continous shooting etc, 4K video etc., I hear it’s pretty much like the Fujifilm X-T20 (specs here). So it will…

  • shoot 4K at 30 fps
  • have 325 AF points like the Fujifilm X-T2 (I think the X-Pro2 has currently 273 autofocus points)
  • … and all the other X-T20 specs (screen size etc)

So sum up the new X-E3 specs we rumored here on FR + those of the X-T20, and you basically have the full specs of the X-E3 :)

Rumored Fujifilm X-E3 specs

Fujifilm X-E3 Electronic Viewfinder Same Size of EVF in Fujifilm X-T20

Ok folks, you really made a lot of pressure on me regarding this question, and I finally can give an answer.

The EVF on the Fujifilm X-E3 will have the same size of the one in the Fujifilm X-T20 (0.62x magnification)

Considering the fact that overall the size of the Fujifilm X-E3 will shrink compared to its predecessors (the Fujifilm X-E1 and X-E2), keeping the same EVF size of X-T20 into such a small body is already a very good thing I think.

But hey, the debate in the comments is open :)

Rumored Fujifilm X-E3 specs

Fuji officially registered a new camera line name “X-H” – *** UPDATED ***

Letsgodigital spotted a new European trademark application from Fuji. Brevalex (the company from Holland that files trademarks for Fuji) registered a new “Fuji X-H” camera line. And that’s what they write about this new line:

“Digital cameras; lenses for digital cameras; digital camera flashes; cases adapted for digital cameras; straps for digital cameras; image sensors for digital cameras.”

*** UPDATE *** : FR-reader imagei noted in the comments:

Looks like they filed a whole lot of EUIPO trade mark applications: X-S, X-E, X-H, X-Z, X-T, X-A, X-M and X-Pro, all of them with the same application date: 2017-08-18.

To see for yourself put ‘FUJIFILM CORPORATION’ as the applicant name and sort by application date in descending order.

It’s more likely they’re back-filling the legal details with the EUIPO rather than preparing for a new camera line (or three).
