Fujifilm X-S20 coming with NP-W235 Battery (Rumor) but not in April (Speculation)

Quick update regarding the Fujifilm X-S20.

We know the Fujifilm X Summit in April has been canceled and the next X Summit will take place in May.

But this hasn’t changed what we told you already a long time ago: the next Fujifilm X series camera to come will be the Fujifilm X-S20. Sure, this means that in theory it is still possible we will get a new GFX camera before the X-S20 or along with it. But as for X series, the X-S20 is next.

So when will it come? Could Fujifilm announce the X-S20 in April, just don’t make an X Summit about it?

Well, yes they definitely could. Not all Fujifilm cameras get their X summit. But since the X-S20 is a very important camera for Fujifilm, I believe they’ll honor it with an X-Summit. It’s not a rumor, but a speculation. And I’d be very surprised if I was wrong.

The second rumor instead is a trusted rumor: the Fujifilm X-S20 will use the newer NP-W235 battery. I hope Fujifilm will be able to keep the camera body super small like on the current X-S10 body despite the new larger battery.

CANCELED: No More Fujifilm X Summit in April – Trusted Source

Back in January Fujifilm officially announced the next Fujifilm X Summit for April.

But today a trusted source reached out to us and told us that Fujifilm has now decided to cancel the April X summit event.

I have no idea if Fujifilm will make an official announcement about the event being deleted, or if they’ll just let April pass and hope we simply forgot about it.

But what I am sure is this: there is no X summit in April. That’s Trusted Stuff.

Evidently something did not go according to plan.

Fujifilm Spain Displays Camera Roadmap with New “Disruptive” Models Coming in May and September

During the presentation of the Instax Mini 12, Fujifilm Spain displayed a slide showing the Fujifilm camera roadmap, with new models to come in May and September. The Spanish website Fujistas reports:

The presentation […] had an unexpected surprise: a slide that unveiled the camera roadmap in 2023. The graph contrasts the last two new cameras in both Instax and the X Series:

His conclusion: there will be two X series cameras and two Instax cameras coming in the next 7 months.

Since Fujifilm has announced the Fujifilm X Summit for April, Fujistas speculates that the X summit could take place in the final days of April and hence the release of the first camera on the roadmap could be in May.

Fujifilm Spain has described these four novelties as “disruptive”

DPR Fujifilm X-H2 Review: Silver Award

DPReview has published its full review of the Fujifilm X-H2, where the camera gets the silver award with an overall score of 89%.

What we like

  • Excellent high-resolution image quality with a wide range of JPEG processing options
  • Excellent Raw dynamic range
  • 160MP high-res mode for static scenes
  • 15 fps mechanical shutter with good buffer depth
  • Highly detailed 8K video with no crop
  • Wide array of video resolutions, framerates and codecs
  • Subject-specific AF tracking modes
  • EVF is bright and highly-detailed
  • Effective in-body IS easily allows for handheld video and slow shutter speed stills
  • Comfortable hand grip with well-positioned controls
  • Impressive build quality
  • Shutter rated to 500K
  • Very good battery life

What we don’t

  • Tracking AF and face/eye detect AF reliability lags slightly behind the competition
  • Noticeable rolling shutter in most video capture modes, especially 8K
  • No general AF tracking option in video mode
  • Face detection in AF can be distracted by other faces in the scene
  • High-res mode requires a trip to your computer for assembly
  • Poor magnified live view experience
  • Command dial interface won’t suit all users
  • Not all XF lenses will look good paired with a 40MP sensor
