These will be great lenses for Fujifilm X-T3, Fujifilm X-T4, Fujifilm X-T5, Fujifilm X-T6, Fujifilm X-H2, Fujifilm X-H2S, Fujifilm X-H3, Fujifilm X-H2r, Fujifilm X-Pro4 and all the other cameras that Fujifilm will launch in the decade to come, such as the Fujifilm X-T7, Fujifilm X-H4, Fujifilm X-H5, Fujifilm X-Pro5, Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm X-H20, Fujifilm X-S20, Fujifilm X-H2O (the underwater X-H2)… ;)
In the blind test, all images marked with “A” belong to one camera and all images marked with “B” belong to the other camera.
I did my the test myself, and honestly, right at the very first image comparison (see image below) I thought “oh please let “A” be the the Fujifilm GFX100S“. And lucky me, camera “A” is indeed the Fujifilm GFX100S.
Megapixel had not much to do with my preference. It’s a compressed youtube video, how could that matter. Megapixel matter more when you work with the files in post, or when you print.
My preference had more to do with the output of the Fujinon GF80mmF1.7 lens itself, which is very similar in terms of shallow depth of field to the RF 50mm f/1.2 L, but the bokeh looked just more pleasing in my eyes. Then there are other subjective elements like the colors (Provia in this case) and so forth. Overall, I mostly picked A (GFX100S).
But some readers contacted recently, asking me if maybe the first camera to introduce the new sensor and processor will be the X-Pro4, followed by the X-H2 later on.
And I understand where this comes from. It happened in the past that Fujifilm used the X-Pro line to introduce new platforms (X-Pro1 and X-Pro2).
Well, today I’d like to clarify that and say that the Fujifilm X-H2 will be Fujifilm’s first X series camera to introduce the new sensor and processor platform, and not the X-Pro4.
But attention: the Fujifilm X-H2 is still far away, and we will not get it until some point in 2022.
Fujifilm is crafting a monstrous camera and they are not allowed to fail. This means that they will take all the time they need to release real stunner, confident of the fact that in the meantime sales of X-T series, X-S10 and X100V cameras will keep up going strong, allowing Fujifilm not to hurry with the X-H2.
So I thought to launch a little poll, to see how good the FujiRumors community is, when it comes to make speculations about future products.
Of course, if there is somebody, who actually knows something, feel free to contact me via email at fujirumor@gmail.com, PM on social media or even anonymously via rumor box (feel free to use a nickname in that case).
Now pick your top three future Fujifilm cameras down below.
The inevitable question that pops up in the comments when this happens, is how long the time span is between registration of a camera and its announcement.
To answer that, I looked back to the past time span between registrations and announcements, and here is what we see:
1 month = 4 cameras (X-T2, X-E3, X-T100, X-T30)
2 months = 3 cameras (X-T20, X100F, XF10)
3 months = 3 cameras (X-T3, GFX50R, GFX100)
6 months = 1 camera (X-H1)
It’s clear that we usually get a camera between 1 and 3 months after registration (with exception of X-H1, which needed 6 months).
Clearly this would indicate of 3 cameras coming within November, although the X-H1 shows that a longer wait is not impossible, hence an announcement within February 2020 (6 months).
What could these cameras be?
The contact form on FujiRumors is open for any hint (thanks), and the comments for the wildest speculations :).
