RUMOR: Fujinon XF150-600mmF5.6-8 with Internal Zoom

Share

Fujifilm has a Fujinon XF150-600mm on the roadmap.

Back in April we unveiled the aperture range: Fujinon XF150-600mm f/5.6-8.

Today we can add one more detail about this lens, that I think will please many of FR-readers who plan to buy this lens: it will have an internal zoom, meaning the size of the lens will always remain the same even if you zoom in all the way at 600mm (900mm equivalent).

Back in 2021 Fujifilm did provide us with some technical sketches about this lens and we used it to make a size comparison to the Fujinon XF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 and the Fujinon XF200mmF2. You can see the size comparison here.

Fujifilm X-H2S: List of Subjects Tracked by Fujifilm’s New Autofocus System

Share

We told you that the Fujifilm X-H2S will have animal/object tracking.

Now we have received an initial list of subjects Fuji’s new autofocus system can track.

  • birds
  • animals
  • cars
  • trains
  • planes
  • bikes

And of course it will track human faces and eyes, too.

When it comes to “animals” I don’t have the full list yet, but it will definitely track more than what offered by the legendary Fujifilm FinePix F80R, the first digital camera ever to offer some sort of animal autofocus recognition with its “pet-detection” mode.

If I get any more subjects to add to the list, I will make sure to inform you in an updated article.

BREAKING: Fujifilm X-H2S to shoot 40 fps Bursts

Share

According to our trusted sources, the 26 megapixel stacked BSI sensor Fujifilm X-H2S will shoot up to 40 fps in electronic shutter.

If I am not wrong, that’s 10 to 20 fps faster than any full frame stacked sensor camera out there.

So, on paper, the X-H2S will be significantly superior to those cameras in terms of bursts.

But on paper also Sony cameras are weather sealed ;).

What I want to see on May 31 (the date of the X summit) is how well those 40 fps work, hence how much Fujifilm has improved its autofocus.

Because Sony, Canon and Nikon are all doing a better job in this area.

So, dear Fujifilm, offer 40 fps makes sense only if you can get at least an 80+% hit rate out of those massive bursts. Otherwise it will remain a feature for the specs sheet, but not for the real life use.

I don’t know you, but I can’t wait for May 31… lots of questions are going to be answered on that day.
