FujiRumors reader Florian contacted me and shared some thoughts about what Fujifilm needs regarding future lenses for wildlife photography, and I thought this could be something interesting for the entire FR-community.
Check it out down below:
Chris and Jordan from DPReview TV just published their full Fujifilm X-T3 review on the DPR youtube channel here. Some key points:
STILLS by Chris
I remind you that lab tests at Photonstophotos here, show that the X-T3 is slightly better dynamic range at base ISO as well as high ISO.

With all the eyes pointed towards Fuji’s brand new speed monster, the Fujifilm X-T3, I thought it might be a good idea to dedicate a roundup to the one camera, that definitely has been mostly overshadowed by the X-T3 release, the Fujifilm X-H1.
I have tested the Fujifilm X-T3 during my Photokina stay, and it’s undeniable that Fujifilm achieved significant speed improvements.
But as we reported in latest rumors, the Fujifilm X-H1 is definitely also a fast focusing camera, and will get some improvements via firmware update in future. Surely IBIS will become better, but who knows if also some AF improvements can be expected.
Moreover, if you need IBIS, a bigger grip, an EVF that protrudes even further out, bigger buttons, an even tougher body (8H hardness) and other aspects that the X-H1 offers over the X-T3, then the Fujifilm X-H1 might be the best choice for you in the Fuji X camera system.

SAR ADMIN updated the article with the following 2 notes:
UPDATE: A chinese source just sent me these specs sheets of a rumored new Sony CMOS sensor found on Weibo. I am not sure if they are real but it certainly looks like that.
UPDATED: I edited this post and removed the note about the possibility that this might be used by the future A6700. What we learned now is that this is an APS-C sensor with an aspect ratio of 4:3.
FR ADMIN NOTE: As pointed out by readers, it’s been developed for FA and ITS applications. This is (expensive) BtoB stuff. Not BtoC photographic equipment.
SonyAlphaRumors just received specs about what seems to be the future APS-C sensor made by Sony.
This is of interest for Fujifilm lovers, since Fujifilm buys its sensor from Sony.
However, as we reported here on FujiRumors, the Fujifilm X-T3 will have 26 Megapixel and still be X-Trans. So, if the rumor below is correct, I wouldn’t expect it to be featured on Fujifilm cameras before 2020/2021, maybe something for the Fujifilm X-H2 or Fujifilm X-T4.
Here is what SAR writes:
“A chinese source just sent me these specs sheets of a rumored new Sony CMOS sensor. I don’t know if this is a real deal or some fake specs. So please take it with a grain of salt. But if it’s true this is going to be an AMAZING sensor that might find it’s way into the new A6700!
Key info:
– APS-C size 4:3 aspect ratio
– 31.5 megapixel
– FSI (Front Side illuminated)
– global shutter
This would be the first Front Side illuminated Global Shutter APS-C sensor. Surely enough to make the A6700 super exciting! Here are the spec sheets:

… have a fantastic day,
We have just shared the rumor about the Fujifilm X-T3 having a “better performing battery” over the X-T2 (as well as touch screen)
At the same time, Nokishita spotted that Fujifilm registered a new battery charger, the BC-W126S.
Now the question is:
will the Fujifilm X-T3 be compatible with the current NP-W126S batteries, but also take the new and improved W126S batteries, or will the new W126S battery be bigger, hence making it incompatible with all other Fujifilm X series models (but fit for Fujifilm X-Pro3, X-H2, X-T30 and so forth)?
Tamas Varga (vatart.photo facebook) suggested to launch an updated battery poll… so here it is:

Fujifilm just launched the new F-LOG2 C, which gives you wider color gamut over F-Log2.
It has been made available to Fujifilm X-H2, X-H2S and GFX100 II via the latest firmware update.

Below I’ll share a two videos comparing F-Log 2 C with F-Log 2.
First video: we can see that F-Log2 C gives a slightly less saturated look and especially in the orange/red tones are more true to life, which results also in more accurate and pleasing skin tones. He calls F-Log2C a “Gamechanger” in his video headline.
Second video: it’s also testing the new firmware (with Fringer adapter) in addition to comparing F-Log. In the comments somebody said:
Maan finally the annoying focus pulsing is almost gone… I can’t believe that our cameras were broken for so long!
Thank you for this video!
The skin tones look amazing in FLogC imo.
F-Log2 C looks to be a welcome addition for videographers.
A kind source (THANKS!) has passed us the full press releases and specs sheets for the upcoming gear.

Now, I can’t verify it myself, because I switched 100% to Capture One a long time ago because I did not like the way Adobe was taking (just as I don’t like what’s going with Capture One lately and I am not sure I will stick with Capture One much longer… but that’s off topic).
Anyway, since I don’t own Adobe products, I rely on reports I am getting via email from fellow FR-readers. And those reports say this:
Reala Ace now available in Adobe Camera Raw – I just upgraded to the newest version of Adobe Camera Raw, and I noticed that Reala Ace is now available for the RAW files from my X-T5 when processing them in Adobe Camera Raw.
Fujifilm itself will give us 5th generation X shooters Reala Ace via firmware update this summer. But it’s great to know that, if you are editing your RAW files, you can enjoy that film simulation already on Fujifilm X-T5 and I hear also other 5th generation cameras such as the Fujifilm X-H2.
