Fujifilm X-PRO2 with 4K and new processor EXR III (trusted Japanese source)

Let’s start the week with a fresh rumor update coming from our top Japanese source. The source contacted me this weekend to let us know that:

• Fuji indeed plans to launch a 4K capable X-PRO2

• The Fujifilm X-PRO2 will feature a new and faster processor (EXR III)

We know from Fuji engineers here that X-TRANS sensor requires a lot processing power when shooting video. The current EXR II processor apparently has some difficulties to calculate all the video-data, and this is a reason why the huge advantage of the X-Trans sensor to mitigate moiree in stills doesn’t apply to video. A new and faster EXR III processor could help to sort out this issue.

A couple of days ago I asked over at the FR-facebook page here, if you are excited about the possible 4K capability of the X-PRO2… well, maybe some of you might be surprised with what the majority of followers answered. Check it out here.
